Chapter 382

Juan’s words carried a ring of truth that was hard to dismiss. Debra fell silent, contemplating the notion that perhaps people could indeed change. In this life, Juan had seen through Sheila’s façade, which explained his withdrawal of affection.

“Do you have impressions of these companies?” she asked, placing several files on the table. The files contained detailed information about various companies Juan had targeted in her previous life. Although she knew the likelihood of a positive response from Juan in this life was slim, she felt compelled to try.

Juan shifted his gaze to the files, his expression thoughtful. “No.” Sure enough, because of her intervention, he had not yet taken notice of these Frazier Group subsidiaries.

Debra took a deep breath, her mind racing with memories and revelations. Ever since her vivid dream, she had instructed someone to investigate the subsidiaries’ accounts. The findings were grim; the companies had been in severe financial trouble for an extended period, with all funds embezzled by Ralph. This had caused significant discrepancies in the accounts.

In her previous life, Juan’s destruction of these companies had seemed a calculated act of revenge. But now, a different narrative was emerging. If Juan had wiped out the Frazier Group to cover up Ralph’s gambling and embezzlement, the real motive was far more complicated than she’d initially believed.

“Debra?” Juan’s voice brought her back to reality. Her expression was unreadable as she looked at him.

“Is something wrong?”

“No.”

Debra retrieved the files and began to leave. Juan called out uncertainly, “Debra.”

“Anything else?”

“If you ever need anything, feel free to tell me.”

“I don’t think that day will come.”

Juan’s lips pursed at her words. Debra left the meeting room, feeling as if a heavy stone pressed on her chest. She had established the McKinney Group to retaliate against Juan and secure a reliable future for herself and the Frazier family. But now, a single dream had shaken her resolve, forcing her to confront the truth from her past life. It wasn’t Juan but Sheila who had truly harmed her and her child. The person she should seek revenge on was Sheila.

As Debra grappled with her thoughts, her phone buzzed, displaying an unknown number. She answered and heard a familiar voice.

“Ms. Frazier, I have a contract for you to sign. Is this a convenient time?”

“Mr. Andrew Potter?”

Despite her bewilderment, she agreed to meet him at the Potter Mansion. Upon arrival, she found lunch laid out in the grand hall. The butler invited her to sit, and Debra chose the chair closest to Andrew, feeling uneasy in his presence.

Noticing Andrew wasn’t initiating conversation, she broke the silence. “The Frazier Group is bankrupt. What contract could I possibly sign with you?”

Andrew handed her a contract. “The Frazier Group may be bankrupt, but don’t forget our cooperation agreement with the McKinney Group not long ago.”
