Chapter 66 +25 BONUS

Jordan glanced at Carrie, his disdain evident. Sensing an unfavorable situation, Shelia stood and shielded Carrie. “Mr. Jordan Potter, it’s all a misunderstanding. Carrie didn’t mean any harm!”

“Who are you to speak here?” Jordan said bluntly.

Shelia blushed with embarrassment. Jordan’s favoritism toward Debra was obvious, and Carrie couldn’t hide her jealousy. “What tricks did you use to bewitch him? Mr. Jordan Potter, do you know she’s a homewrecker? She stole someone else’s boyfriend, and she’s a call girl,” Carrie shouted, further irritating Jordan.

His stare intimidating, Jordan said, “I never hit women, but if you say one more word, I’ll show you no mercy.”

As Carrie backed down, Debra spoke calmly. “Before defending others, understand the situation. Don’t be used as a pawn and end up a joke.”

Carrie frowned, not understanding. Shelia, however, did, and turned pale. As Debra led Jordan away, he glared back at them.

“Why are we leaving?” Jordan asked.

Debra shrugged. “Arguing with them is pointless. Besides, I don’t want to escalate this. If Juan’s grandma finds out I’m studying at Arcane Academy, I’m done for.”

“What about your reputation? Don’t you care?” Jordan asked.

Debra, surprised by his words, replied, “Anyone with a background here knows I’m Juan’s wife. They know I’m from the Frazier family. What do I care about those commoners?”

Jordan considered this and understood. No matter how hard they tried, those people in the cafeteria could never reach Jordan and Debra’s level. Arguing was a waste of time. Those crude lies would eventually be exposed, and the rumor-spreader would pay the price. Debra was unconcerned.

In the cafeteria, Carrie was terrified, sweat dripping down her back. “Did I just offend Jordan? Will he send someone after me?” she said anxiously.

Rumors about Jordan abounded; he was a notorious playboy whom no one dared provoke twice.

“Don’t worry. Jordan won’t do anything to you. After all, you’re a girl, and this whole thing is because of me,” Shelia said with feigned guilt. “I’m sorry for getting you into this.”

Wendy comforted her, saying, “It’s not your fault. That woman is cunning, having hooked up with Jordan.”

Carrie wondered aloud, “But what did she mean by being used as a pawn?”
