Chapter 565
Juanโs response was indifferent. โAs per the contract, the divorce papers will be delivered to you on the agreed date.โ
Debra fell silent, and he added, โDid you come all this way just to discuss this?โ
Detecting the coldness in his tone, Debra shook her head. โI came to ask if youโd join me on a show.โ
โWhat kind?โ
โโHello, Ex.โโ
Juan picked up the coffee cup on the table, taking his time. โIโve heard of it. The showโs pitch was quite well done.โ
โSo, will you go?โ
โAre you going?โ
โTam.โ
โAlright.โ
Debra was relieved.
But then, Juan asked abruptly, โWhatโs your relationship with Andrew?โ
Debra quickly deflected, โNothing special. Heโs a business partner of the McKinney Group, so we have some dealings.โ
Juan seemed to accept this, as heโd never believed Debra to be the mysterious figure, Tracy. After Michael replaced her at a banquet, Juan preferred to believe Michael was Tracy. He warned, โAndrew is dangerous. Itโs best if you donโt get too close. You donโt want to get burned.โ
โI told you, heโs just a business partner. Besides, someone like him wouldnโt get close to me,โ Debra replied with a light smile. โYouโre overthinking it.โ
โI hope so.โ
โWell, Iโve said what I came to say. Since you agreed, the contract will be sent to you this afternoon. Letโs make sure we get along during filming.โ
Debra stood up to leave. Juan spoke again, โI know Melody went to see you at the company.โ
Her steps faltered, and Juan hesitated before continuing, โSheโs my grandmother, after all. I know she puts you in tough spots sometimes. Iโm sorry.โ
Debra didnโt respond and simply walked out of the reception room.
News that Debra and Juan would be appearing on the show โHello, Exโ spread like wildfire. The media was already abuzz with speculation about their rocky marriage, painting it as a dramatic tale of the wealthy elite. People were curious to see how the story of the โdomineering CEO and his pampered wifeโ would unfold in real life.
However, the comment sections were filled with skepticism:
Isnโt โHello, Exโ supposed to be about divorced couples reconnecting? Why are these two on the show?
Rumor has it theyโre already divorced. Theyโre just pretending to be together to keep their stocks stable.
Confirmed. A financial insider broke it down ages ago. These two are split.
My friend works at City Hall. Their divorce was super secretive, but someone found out.
Ugh, I feel so bad for Debra. She has to play the happy couple with that cheating jerk.
Scrolling through the comments, Debra could tell this was all Andrewโs doing. As for the negative comments about Juanโฆ
She glanced over at Randy, who was quickly typing on his laptop. โDonโt you think thatโs enough? Now one out of every ten comments calls Juan a cheater.โ
โMarion said it needs to be one out of five. How much longer do I have to keep doing this?โ
