Chapter 480

Debra awoke from a dream about her past life. In it, Seamar City had ultimately become Marion's domain. She rubbed her temples, trying to dispel the lingering images, dismissing it as just another ordinary dream.

Morning sunlight streamed through her window, and she saw several missed calls on her phone. She returned Ben's call. "Madam," he said, "Mr. Cameron wants to see you."

"Now?"

"Yes. He called last night, but you didn't answer."

"I see," Debra replied. "Did he say why he wanted me there?"

"It seems to be about the trainee program."

After leaving Potter Entertainment, Debra had announced her new role as General Manager of the McKinney Group. It was unsurprising that Henry was anxious. Without Juan's sponsorship, most trainees had canceled their contracts, leaving him facing massive compensation fees to the production team. Edgar's investment likely had already vanished.

At noon, Debra entered the Potter Entertainment office building. The atmosphere was different from her previous visits as a trainee. Now, she was there as the General Manager of the McKinney Group.

Henry, waiting in the lobby, approached her with a broad smile. "Ms. Frazier, it's been a few days, and you look even better."

Debra returned the smile, her eyes scanning the surroundings. Not far away, two female trainees—Ashley and Eve—were still training. Ashley had always been Eve's sidekick, despite Eve's past betrayal. With insufficient funds to cover the breach of contract fees, Ashley had no choice but to remain with Eve.

"Debra, how dare you come back?"

Eve rushed toward Debra, but Henry intervened. "What do you think you're doing? Have you lost your mind?"

Eve glared at Debra, her eyes burning with hatred. Debra smiled. "Miss Cameron, what's with the fuss?"

Eve's voice trembled with rage. "I've figured it out. You tricked the other trainees into leaving Potter Entertainment. What's in it for you to mess with us like this?" Eve had been popular among the female trainees and, before their departure, she had pressured them to reveal Debra's role.

Debra raised an eyebrow. "Miss Cameron, you can't just say things like that."

Eve snorted. "Stop pretending. You must want to return to the McKinney Group, so you poached trainees to claim credit."

Henry's face darkened as he listened to Eve's accusations. He stepped forward, striking Eve hard across the face. "What the hell are you talking about? How dare you speak to Ms. Frazier like that? Apologize to her."

Eve covered her face in disbelief. "Dad, why are you taking her side? She's just a lackey of the McKinney Group. The Frazier family is bankrupt, and she's still so arrogant. She's just…"

Henry struck again, this time with even more force. Eve stumbled back and fell to the ground. Ashley rushed to Eve's side, helping her up, then turned to Henry. "Mr. Cameron, Eve is just worried about the company. Please go easy on her."
