Chapter 68

“Sorry, outsiders need ID confirmation and the homeowner’s permission to enter,” the security guard insisted, unmoved by their pleas.

Carrie retorted, “I’ve never heard of such a thing! I told you she’s my friend from school!”

“Sorry, please have the homeowner call us to verify,” the guard said impatiently. The residents here were either wealthy or powerful, and even the guards acted superior. Carrie was frustrated and had to leave empty-handed.

On their way back, Wendy finally voiced her suspicion: “Who is that woman, really? The residents here aren’t ordinary. Is she really a call girl?”

Carrie scoffed, “Wendy, what are you implying? Could she be a rich lady? Come on, no rich ladies steal other people’s boyfriends.”

Wendy fell silent at Carrie’s response. Sheila interjected, “Since we found nothing today, let’s just go back.”

“Yeah, that’s all we can do,” Carrie sighed. They failed to find any leads.

High in the apartment building, Debra watched the trio leave. The security guard called Debra: “Ms. Frazier, three people came claiming to be your friends. Should I let them in?”

“No, if they come again, just turn them away,” Debra replied.

“Understood!”

After she hung up, Marion questioned, “Just let them go like that?”

Debra dismissed wasting time on them: “What else? Start a fight downstairs?” She didn’t understand why Sheila, who had ignored her in her previous life when she tried to get close to Juan, had been hostile towards her since her rebirth. But regardless of her antics, Sheila remained the one in Juan’s heart. With this life’s second chance, Debra wouldn’t meddle in Sheila’s affairs anymore. They were destined to be together, and she would steer clear of anything involving Sheila to avoid unnecessary trouble.

“By the way, what brings you here today?”

Debra sat down opposite Marion and poured tea for him.

Marion replied seriously, “Randy called this morning, frantic about rumors at school. He called again at lunch, saying you nearly fought someone in the cafeteria, so I came for the show.”

Debra admired Randy’s eloquence in embellishing stories and stirring things up. “There was no fight. Don’t listen to him,” she said.

Marion hinted meaningfully, “But the rumors are true. Easygoing people can be trampled on.” Debra brushed off Marion’s comment, taking it as a joke.
