Chapter 383
โWe do have an agreement, butโฆโ
It wasnโt compulsory. Instead of protesting, Debra picked up the contract from the table. The document was labeled a contract with Potter Entertainment. She scanned the pages, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion.
โThe agreement is there, but itโs not a โsell-yourselfโ contract.โ
Andrew glanced at her, and she quickly corrected herself. โI mean, you want to hire me?โ
Andrew replied calmly, โThatโs the idea. The contract is very clear.โ
Debra struggled to find the right words. โI did consider entering showbiz, but Iโฆโ
โBut you plan to enter showbiz with McKinney Group, not with me?โ
โUhโฆ Yeah.โ
Debra squirmed under his gaze, feeling trapped.
Andrew pressed on. โDonโt forget our previous agreement. The Frazier Groupโs collapse has affected my family. This is a chance for you to make amends.โ
Debra felt a pang of unease. Andrew knew her weak spot and was pushing her into a corner. She put down the contract, her shoulders slumping slightly.
โOkay, Iโll sign it.โ
Anyway, to the outside world, she was just a fallen heiress in need of a decent job. With the McKinney Group cutting ties with the Frazier Groupโs mess, she would lose her position as well. Since only a few knew she was behind the McKinney Groupโs success, she could play along and present herself to the public as an unlucky dog.
โBut I have one condition.โ
โGo ahead.โ
โYou know Iโm with the McKinney Group. My career needs to benefit the Potter Group family, but you canโt stop me from benefiting the McKinney Group too.โ
Andrewโs quick agreement filled her with doubt. What is he after? It canโt be just my recent online popularity. Given his resources, he could create stars as he likes. Why me?
As she was about to voice her doubts, Andrew signaled to the butler and said, โMs. Frazier, please enjoy your meal. I have other business to attend to.โ
The butlerโs action ended any chance for further questioning. Debra, used to the abruptness of such meetings, looked at the hearty meal without any appetite left.
She got up and left for the Frazier family villa. The large house, once bustling with life, now seemed eerily quiet without Ralph and his family.
The housekeeper approached her, his voice tentative. โMadam, what should we do with their belongings?โ
Debra glanced at the remnants of their presence.
โThrow them in the storage room.โ
โButโฆโ
โThis house should no longer have any of their things.โ
Debra looked around the empty house, her decision made. It was time to leave this place.
News of her selling the villa quickly went viral online. Someone posted pictures, which sparked heated discussion and speculation. The online comments ranged from disbelief to speculation about the Fraziers' financial situation and the sale price of the house.
