Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 202
"Debra, you've been spending a lot of time with Michael lately, and your internship work has suffered. Miss Miles expects you to finish this today, or your internship might be in jeopardy," said a co-worker, placing a stack of files on the desk.Debra eyed the towering pile, which nearly obscured her computer screen. She glanced across the office at Shelia, who wore a self-satisfied smirk.Debra had anticipated some retaliation, but she hadn't expected Shelia to stoop so low.She stood up, walked over to the desk, and quickly counted the files. "If I recall correctly, these were supposed to be checked by Carole yesterday, weren't they?"The female employee remained unfazed. "So what? I'm a full-time employee. Entrusting these documents to you is a sign of faith in your abilities."Debra let out a derisive snort. "You think it's possible to check all these reports and come up with ten plans by the end of the day?"The employee shifted uncomfortably but held her ground. "Debra, thi

The office buzzed with the grand entrance. Even Shelia wore a shifting expression of disbelief.She was aware of Debra's lineage, being the daughter of the Frazier family, but she never expected Debra to be at the helm of the Frazier Group."Why? Didn't Miss Miles inform them of my identity?" Debra stood before them, her smile radiant and confident. "I'm Debra, the daughter of the Frazier family and Juan Nichols' wife."A ripple of shock passed through the room. All eyes turned to Shelia.'If Debra is Juan's wife, then what does that make Shelia? A mistress?'Shelia felt the weight of their gazes, her fists clenching in frustration."Why isn't Miss Miles saying anything? If there's no issue, please have Mr. Tyson come and talk to me," Debra said, handing the document to Ben. "I'm not feeling particularly generous today, so let's put this contract on hold for the year."Meanwhile, Carole had been alerted by the commotion. She strode up with a frown and sighed upon seeing Debra. "

A female employee stood nearby, her hands trembling.Debra hadn't intended to cause a scene, but Shelia's arrogance was intolerable. If she didn't address it today, her internship days would be disastrous."Ms. Frazier, I didn't expect you to grace us with your presence." Liam Tyson emerged from his office, a smile on his face.However, upon seeing Debra, he paused in surprise. 'What's going on?'Ben quickly introduced Debra. "Mr. Tyson, this is our CEO, and she's also Mrs. Nichols."Liam's smile faded. "Mrs. Nichols?"He glanced at Debra and then Shelia. "If this is Mrs. Nichols, then Shelia..."Shelia frowned with displeasure. Liam swallowed nervously.Juan had never brought Debra to company events, and Liam had no idea what she looked like, nor had he heard that she was a graduate student at Arcane Academy."Mr. Tyson, are you nervous?" Debra observed with amusement."Not at all," Liam replied, trying to regain his composure. "It's just surprising to have Mrs. Nichols inte

Debra dropped the stack of files onto Shelia's desk.Shelia looked up, her face paling to a ghostly white."Absolutely, you're right," Liam said.Debra smiled with satisfaction. "Then it's settled. I'll get back to work. Mr. Tyson, please sign here.""Alright, I'll sign," Liam agreed hastily.He scrawled his signature without a thought about whether they could renew the contract with Michael next year.Angering Debra was more dangerous than losing money.Shelia stood rooted to the spot, her body trembling with barely contained rage. She watched as Debra sauntered back to her workstation, looking entirely at ease amidst the tension.Debra's smile widened as she caught sight of Shelia's frustrated expression.Truth be told, Shelia was not without her strengths. She was clever, academically gifted, and possessed a certain cunning. However, she was woefully ignorant of the unspoken rules that governed their industry. She believed that her association with Juan would grant her immu

Shelia stood rooted to the spot, her mind reeling in disbelief.In her mind, Debra was just a pampered lady with no substance. Yet they let Debra lead the entire Frazier family."This is impossible. You must be mistaken!" Shelia exclaimed.Liam remained adamant. "Miss Miles, why would I lie to you? This matter has already spread within our circles. I might risk offending the owner of Frazier Entertainment, but I can't afford to offend the boss of Frazier Group."His words hit Shelia like a physical blow, draining her of all strength.Shelia wondered if they had let Debra take over under Juan's suggestions.She clenched her fists. 'Debra, with her privileged background, could rely on Juan and the Frazier family to secure the top position at Frazier Group, despite her lack of knowledge. Why? I've studied so hard for years only to end up in such a dire situation."Miss Miles, I hope you can understand," Liam said.Despite her unwillingness, Shelia knew she had no choice but to lea

Shelia was supposed to be Juan's lover, yet Juan had been surprisingly harsh with her, not even bothering to inquire about her situation."Okay, Mr. Nichols," Liam said. "I'll take good care of Mrs. Nichols. I won't let her be mistreated at the company."Juan, growing impatient, ended the call abruptly without further comment.Joe, who had been standing by, said cautiously, "If Miss Miles can't secure an internship right away, her thesis..."Juan's voice was cold and dismissive. "If she can't secure an internship, then my years of training her have been wasted. Don't mention her again. I have no further interest in her affairs.""Understood."In the afternoon, Debra received a call from Ben while she was in the middle of pouring herself a cup of tea."What's up, Ben?""This noon, several companies under the group received the same resume.""Whose resume?""Shelia Miles."Debra couldn't help but laugh. Freshly out of her job, Shelia was already scrambling for another position
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 208
Shelia took great care of her appearance, slipping into her most professional attire and stepping into her highest heels.The interviewer glanced at her and said, "I've reviewed your resume. You're a graduate student from Arcane Academy, right?"Shelia couldn't suppress a small smile of pride. "Yes, that's correct."The interviewer leaned back in her chair, her expression appreciative. "Impressive. You're quite young to have achieved that."Shelia felt a swell of satisfaction. The graduate position was a testament to her abilities and perseverance.The interviewer continued, "We do have an internship position available, but I must clarify, it's not for the vice GM role."Shelia's smile faded slightly. "Not the vice GM?"She had braced herself for this, knowing that such a high-ranking position wouldn't come easily. "I was hoping for at least a director position in the finance department or perhaps the accounting department."The interviewer held up a hand, interrupting her. "Yo

In the bustling metropolis of Seamar City, a monthly salary of $4,000 was barely enough to scrape by, let alone live comfortably."Miss Miles, please don't rush into a decision. Take a day to think it over and let me know your decision tomorrow," the interviewer suggested with a polite smile, handing Shelia her resume.Shelia stomped her feet and left the company.It was just a newly listed company, nowhere near the caliber of the Nichols Group, and yet they dared to set the bar so high. Unwilling to accept defeat, Shelia quickly contacted several more companies, eager to find a position that matched her qualifications.However, much to her dismay, each company she approached followed Debra's instructions and rejected her application outright.Even when she lowered her expectations, the highest offer she received was a measly $3,000. Despondent, Shelia found herself sitting on the street, unable to comprehend how, as a graduate student from Arcane Academy, she could be so unwanted

"Dad." Liza rushed to the bed, grabbing Bert's hand.In her mind, Bert was a stern old grump. He was always tough and sharp.But now, the illness had taken a toll on him. He had shrunk, and his hair had gone gray overnight.Fermin stood behind her, watching with pain.In fact, Bert had been ill for a while now. He had been grooming Fermin for years.But once he'd caught wind of Fermin's plans, Bert would rather kill him and trash their legacy than let him join the Illuminati.Fermin knew this day was coming. Liza didn't. Bert never wanted her to.She froze, feeling like his hand had twitched. She stopped crying and spun to Fermin."Did you see it? Dad moved..." she exclaimed.Fermin clapped a hand over her mouth, a move that confused her.He shook his head, warning her off. She nodded fast, signaling she'd keep quiet.Fermin checked the door and eased his hand off. "Dad's fine. Let's head home, alright?"Liza glanced at Bert with reluctance but wiped her tears. "Okay.""Co

Drake's mouth hung open, but no words came out."I swapped the drug for saline," Juan said. "You're on your own tonight. You've only had one dose, so there might still be a chance. If you don't wanna die here, suck it up. Don't let Kale die for nothing."Juan dropped that and left the room.Drake slumped on the bed. Old memories came flooding back, from their first meeting to their camaraderie. They had been through thick and thin together.If it hadn't been for him, Kale wouldn't have been dead....In the hospital, Liza kept watch outside the ICU where Bert lay.Two black-suited guards blocked the door. Even after surgery, they wouldn't let her in."When can I see him?" she asked, clenching her fists.The guards stood like statues, ignoring her."That's my dad," she shouted, pounding their chests. "I need to be with him. Move. Get out of my way.""Stop it." Fermin strode up, grabbing her swinging fist. "You're an Eaton. Act like it."He turned and slapped a guard hard. "Y

Juan arrived at a villa on Seamar City's outskirts. It was where Drake was locked up.It was pitch black in the room, with only a bed. The windows were nailed shut.The moment Drake handed over the stone, he'd guessed his fate. The Illuminati had rules for traitors: the blessing ritual.But that "blessing" was just injecting their latest drug into turncoats. They would be used as free guinea pigs. Death was the best outcome. Surviving meant real torture.It didn't hurt. Rather, it felt like heaven. That was why they called it a blessing."When did they shoot you up with that stuff?" Juan asked.Drake leaned back on the bed, nonchalant. "I gave them the stone. It doesn't matter to you. Just give me the drug."By night, he was a mess.The stuff could ease the pain for an hour. Then hell would kick in. Once the cravings hit, it felt like ants gnawing his bones.The pain wired into his nerves. At its worst, he'd bash the wall, tempted to bite his tongue off.He couldn't leave wit

To the bishop, Debra and her crew were small fry.A hundred years ago, the Four Great Families might've been untouchable. But now? Their roots were shaky.The Illuminati, on the other hand, had grown unstoppable.For the stone, he'd see them and let them feel the Illuminati's might. It was something callows like them couldn't touch."Tell them I pick the time and place," he said. "Get the stone ready. If it's fake, they'll get the harshest punishment from God.""Yes, Master," Michael replied, turning to leave.Lara stood up to protest, "I'm against this. We should take the chance to wipe them out and take their assets."In her mind, the four families were nothing. When they could snatch what they wanted, there was no need for deals or games."God spares all," the bishop muttered. "I'll give them a shot to live. If they bow, why kill them?"Lara fell silent, but Frederic stepped out of the shadows. He asked, "What about the stone Drake gave us?""Only one of the two stones is

Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

"What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"
