Juan frowned, wondering why Debra was willing to give up the chance to be alone with him.
In his impression, Debra would be angry if he went to see Shella.
“Aren’t you taking Shelia to the hospital?” she said.
She hoped that Juan could leave as soon as possible.
She was worried that Marion would go to bed and that Melody would play new tricks tomorrow.
“Enjoy your meal.”
Juan glanced at the neatly clean plates and felt a bit frustrated.
She had gone to such great lengths to keep him at home, only to focus on eating.
After Juan left, Debra took out her phone and dialed Marion’s number.
“Hey, something’s come up. I’m on my way.”
“No rush.”
“See you soon!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
At the window of his office, Marion hung up his phone.
On the sofa, Randy woke up and asked, “Where’s Debra? It’s late.”
“She’s held up,” Marion replied.
“For a whole day?” Randy stretched, suddenly realizing something. “Don’t tell me you’ve been waiting here all this time.”
From this floor–to–ceiling window, he could see the situation outside the gate.
Marion curled his lips.
Randy took a sharp breath. “What an eye–opener! Don’t tell me you want to be a warrior of pure love.”
“I can be one.”
Randy had never seen that expression on Marion’s face before.
In his mind, love at first sight only existed in fairy tales. He never thought that such a plot would fall on Marion.
Soon, Debra arrived at the entrance of the Osborne Group.
The security guard scrutinized Debra before approaching. “Ms. Frazier?”
“Yeah.” Debra nodded.
“This way, please.”
The security guard helped take Debra’s bag and escorted her to the elevator.
Debra looked around. The employees should have left work, but all the lights in the building were still on.
It showed how rich Randy was.
Randy looked at the lights and grumbled, “Do you know how much It costs me to power it for love? Damn
“What do you mean by ‘damn it‘?”
Debra came in and looked at Randy with a puzzled expression.
“I mean, I dreamed of a damn animal today, standing next to me all day,” Randy said.
Debra became even more puzzled.
“Aren’t you here to find me?” Marion chimed in.
“I just want to ask one thing. Was Aaron trying to buy that piece of land for you?”
Marion sat down in his chair. “Why do you say so?”
Debra had sorted out her mind.
Aaron was sort of an influential entrepreneur, owning billions. But buying a piece of land in a sewage area would be a dead end.
He must be trying to acquire it for Marion.
“If the land is to be used for commercial purposes, the sewage must be cleaned up, which requires a lot of money. I guess you wanted to have it as another channel for money laundering. It would facilitate the transfer of your overseas assets,” Debra analyzed.
“But now the land is in your hands.”
That was something Marion couldn’t understand.
Buying that piece of land for millions of dollars would be worthwhile, but paying ten billion would be a huge loss.
“To be honest, the Frazier family is no longer what it used to be when my dad was alive. The current Frazier family is just an empty shell. I need money to circulate, so I have to have that piece of land,” Debra said.
