Chapter 344
In the dimly lit room, moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silvery glow on Sheilaโs skin. She removed her top, revealing her pale chest. Juan averted his gaze, but Sheila grabbed his hand. โJuan, Iโm your woman. Why are you avoiding me?โ
She pressed closer, attempting to ignite his desire, but Juan pushed her away abruptly. Sheila stumbled back onto the bed, her eyes wide with shock. Juan looked at her as if she were something distasteful, his voice cold and unyielding.
โI warned you. Since you refuse to behave, youโll move out tomorrow.โ
โJuan!โ Sheilaโs voice trembled, but Juan didnโt look back as he strode out of the bedroom.
The next day, Debra received unexpected news. โSheila moved out of the Nichols familyโs house?โ
โYes, someone saw her leave early this morning.โ
โDid Melody agree to this?โ
โSheila offended the Potter family. Melody probably had to consider Mr. Andrew Potterโs influence,โ Ben replied firmly. Debra considered this and believed it. After all, the place Sheila moved into was originally her marital home with Juan. It was inappropriate for a mistress to live there. If the media found out, it would cause another scandal.
โThereโs another thing.โ
โWhat is it?โ
โMr. Houston and Mr. Osborne have business to attend to, soโฆโ
โTheyโve left again?โ
Debra was used to Marionโs mysterious comings and goings. Still, she was curious about his mission this time. But it didnโt matter much. With the Frazier Group merged with the McKinney Group, things were on track. There shouldnโt be any issues.
She handed some documents to Ben. โThe Potter family will be partnering with us. Get the documents ready.โ
โGot it.โ
Suddenly, a commotion outside the office interrupted their conversation. Two police officers burst into the office, demanding, โWhich one of you is Debra Frazier?โ
โI am.โ
The officers exchanged a look before one approached her and put her in handcuffs. โWeโve received reports of bribery and embezzlement. Weโre taking you in for questioning.โ
Ben was shocked. โBribery and embezzlement? Officers, this must be a mistake. I demand a lawyer.โ
The officer nodded. โYou can get a lawyer, but she needs to come with us now.โ
As she was escorted out, Debra could feel the weight of the employeesโ stares. She scanned the crowd; her thoughts whirled with possibilities. She managed the finances meticulously, leaving no room for error. This accusation seemed baseless, yet the police clearly had evidence. She thought, โCould it be Sheila? Cathryn? Or even Juan? No, it couldnโt be any of them. They donโt have access to the Frazier Groupโs financial records.โ
