CHAPTER 194
After introducing Shelia, Liam left. Carole, who looked down on everyone, unexpectedly stepped forward to praise Shelia.
“Graduates from prestigious schools are indeed different. I’ll need to learn a lot from you!” Carole said.
Shelia responded with a polite smile on her face, but a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
Debra, uninterested in the flattery around her, was about to leave when Shelia suddenly called out to her, “Debra, I didn’t expect you to be interning at this company too. Can you join me for a coffee after work?”
Carole glanced at Debra, then at Shelia, asking, “Do you two know each
other?”
As Shelia was about to speak, Debra quickly interjected, “Not really acquainted.”
After that, she left abruptly.
Shelia briefly showed embarrassment on her face, but Carole dismissed it. “She relies solely on her looks and looks down on everyone. I can’t stand such women!”
“Don’t be so quick to judge. Maybe she has her reasons. I remember hearing about some incidents involving her back in school,” Shelia said, trying to diffuse the situation.
After a slip of the tongue, Shelia pretended to backtrack. “Oh, I shouldn’t have mentioned that!”
Carole seemed to have caught onto something about Debra and eagerly asked, “What happened? Tell me.”
“I’m not sure if it’s true or not, but there were rumors back in school
saying Debra was involved in compensated dating.”
“Compensated dating?”
Carole, upon hearing this, immediately adopted a disdainful attitude, remarking, “No wonder she’s so good at it. Turns out she’s really in that line of work.”
“Carole, I confided in you as a friend. Please don’t spread this around. Just keep it to yourself,” Shelia pleaded.
“Don’t worry, I won’t say anything to put you in a difficult position.”
Carole was eager to please Shelia, not just because she was a graduate student from Arcane Academy, but also due to her connection with
Juan.
After all, Mr. Tyson introduced her in person.
Seeing Carole believe her words, Shelia couldn’t help but smirk.
After work, Debra hurried to the McKinney Group, where she had decisions to make. However, Shelia stopped her. “Debra, I need to talk to you. Are you available?”
“Not interested,” Debra replied curtly, showing no intention of giving Shelia any respect.
Shelia blocked Debra’s path and insisted, “It’s about Juan. Won’t you listen?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I have no interest. Please move aside,” Debra said, showing no patience for Shelia.
While she used to ignore Shelia’s provocations, it didn’t mean she would tolerate them forever.
Seeing Debra’s lack of interest, Shelia dropped a bombshell. “I slept with Juan. Do you know that?”
Debra paused in her tracks, turned around to see Shelia’s smug expression, and found the situation somewhat amusing. “Is that something to boast about?”
“Of course. I know that your marriage with Juan is just for show. Since I’m with Juan now, he’ll eventually divorce you. Why don’t you initiate the divorce yourself to save some face?”
At that moment, Shelia appeared entirely different from her previous innocent self, perhaps revealing her true nature.
Debra looked at Shelia and chuckled, “If you can make Juan divorce me, you wouldn’t be here trying to persuade me. Drop your schemes. Even if you’ve slept with Juan, it doesn’t affect me much. I don’t care.”
