From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

“Erica!”

Debra quickly interrupted Erica, shaking her head at her.

“What happened?” Juan sensed something was wrong and said solemnly, “I have no idea today the Fraziers were having a family banquet. You should have called me…”

“You don’t know? Debra called you, but you didn’t pick up! Don’t you have a mouth? Can’t you ask questions?”

“A call? What call?”

Juan looked bewildered. He had never received any calls today!

Erica sneered, “How ridiculous! Now you’re pretending to be clueless.”

Anxiously, Juan explained, “Debra, listen to me, I really didn’t receive any call…”

“I just wanted to inform you, not necessarily have you accompany me. It’s fine that you didn’t pick up.”

Not wanting to argue with Juan there, Debra said, “If you want to

apologize, I’m telling you I don’t blame you anymore. Can we leave now?

Juan fell silent, unsure of what to say, and simply moved aside.

Debra and Erica got into the car and soon drove into the neighborhood.

Watching Debra leave, Juan then checked his phone. There were no missed calls during the day.

Frowning, Juan recalled waking up groggily earlier that day, seeing Sheila beside him in a state of undress…

Rubbing his temples, Juan then dialed Joe’s number.

Joe answered promptly, and Juan instructed, “Investigate whether anything happened at the Frazier family’s family banquet today. Inform me immediately once you have any news.”

“Yes, Mr. Nichols.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“And…” Juan’s tone turned cold, “Cut off all funding to Sheila.”

Previously, Mrs. Nichols Sr. had cut off support once, but Juan later instructed Joe to continue supporting Sheila behind her back.

Now, however, Juan felt he should have severed all ties with Sheila

from the start.

Meanwhile, upstairs in the apartment complex, Sheila witnessed this scene through the window and went berserk, smashing everything on

the table.

The night before, she and Juan had been intimate in bed, and she had hoped that the next day Juan would agree to marry her.

Instead, Juan looked at her with disgust and left without a word!

Today, Juan had waited downstairs all night, solely for Debra!

“Debra! It’s all because of Debra!”

Sheila threw away the scented candle in her hand.

She had finally gotten Juan yesterday. But even in bed, all Juan could say was Debra’s name!

Why? She refused to accept it!

“Ding–ding.”

Sheila received a call from Joe, whose voice was icy. “Miss Miles, Mr. Nichols has ordered someone to pack your belongings. Be prepared to

move out.”

Alert, Sheila asked, “Move out? Where am I supposed to go?”

“Mr. Nichols has cut off all your funding. Miss Miles, you’ll be moving back to the dormitory.”

Sheila was shocked. “No way! He can’t do this to me!”

She couldn’t go back! She had boasted in front of her roommates.

Wendy and Carrie were still in the dorm. She couldn’t become a laughingstock!
