Chapter 342
The efficiency with which matters were handledโfrom sorting materials and drafting titles to managing overall content and coordinating online supportโwas astonishing.
โConsider it a gift for your help today,โ Andrew said.
Debra raised an eyebrow. โThis gift is rather expensive.โ
The Nichols family was already under immense pressure, and the recent commotion seemed to place all the stress squarely on Juanโs shoulders. Juan would have no choice but to divorce her.
Debra probed, โMr. Andrew Potter, why are you helping me get a divorce? Is it because of Jordan?โ
Andrew set down his teacup and looked at Debra. Though not intense, his gaze made her instinctively lower her head, a slight flush creeping onto her cheeks. She avoided direct eye contact, feeling suddenly shy.
Andrew was undeniably handsome, with a slightly delicate look in his eyes. Debra had heard stories about him since childhood. Her parents had spoken of his decisiveness and how he single-handedly supported the entire Potter family at a young age.
She remembered her father vividly describing Andrewโs methods, though the details were hazy. Andrewโs name had been etched in her mind as a symbol of power and ruthlessness. She never imagined she would meet Andrew in person, let alone be alone with him.
Andrew spoke calmly, his voice devoid of emotion. โIn the business world, itโs normal to exchange favors. Iโm doing this for no one in particular.โ
He pushed a contract in front of Debra and continued, โThis is the agreement between the Potter family and the McKinney Group for a ten-year collaboration. Check if thereโs anything wrong with it.โ
Debra was taken aback. She was sure she hadnโt misheard. Andrew had mentioned the McKinney Group, not the Frazier Group. It dawned on her that Andrew knew she owned the McKinney Group.
โMr. Andrew Potterโฆโ
โI donโt like beating around the bush. You donโt need to tell me you have no connection to the McKinney Group. I wouldnโt put this contract in front of you if I wasnโt sure.โ
Debra decided not to play coy and asked directly, โHow does the cooperation work?โ
Andrew explained, โA long-term strategic partnership. The Potter family and the McKinney Group will co-brand and mutually benefit, opening the market in Seamar City for both sides.โ
Debra was skeptical. โDo you really need the McKinney Group to open the market for you?โ Given the Potter familyโs hundred-year legacy, they didnโt need to collaborate with any company. The Potter family name alone spoke volumes.
In every aspect, she was the one benefiting. The McKinney Group had nothing to lose, and the collaboration meant it would have the protection of the Potter family. This shield was worth far more than the Nichols familyโs. In the future, no one would dare trouble the McKinney Group.
โWill you sign or not?โ Andrew asked, pretending to pull back the contract.
โYes, how could I miss such a great deal?โ She quickly signed her name, fearing Andrew might change his mind.
Seeing her eager reaction, Andrew flashed a faint smile. But when Debra looked up, his smile had already vanished.
โIโll have someone discuss the specific details with you later.โ
โSure.โ
