CHAPTER 190
“It’s really Marion.”
For Debra, Marion had caused a scene at the Frazier’s twice.
There must be something going on between them, or Ralph wouldn’t have stayed silent.
“Tell Debra I disagree with the divorce and she should stop thinking about it!”
Juan turned and left the Frazier’s.
Ralph wiped his brow, then quickly contacted Debra.
On the other end, as Debra answered the phone, her expression darkened. “Okay, I understand.”
Erica, still half–asleep, asked, “Who’s calling at this late hour?”
Debra hung up the phone, coldly saying, “Looks like the schedule needs to be moved up.”
“Huh?”
The next afternoon, at the McKinney Group office.
Debra stared at the badges collected from the masquerade ball night and said, “Have these been sorted out?”
Ben replied, “Yes. We found out the identities of everyone who attended the masquerade ball that night.”
“Good, compile this information and indirectly leak it to Juan carefully.”
“Yes, Ms. Frazier.”
After Ben left, Erica asked in confusion, “Aren’t masquerade balls supposed to be anonymous? How do you know who attended?”
“These badges are like invitations. When they were sent out, I implanted chips inside them. For example, Juan’s chip would have ‘Juan‘ written on it. After collection, we just need to input the chip data into the computer to know who attended the McKinney Group’s event that night.”
Debra smiled, “Those who attended the event are essentially going against Juan. He can’t stand betrayal. The day before, Juan had all the businesspeople supporting the Nichols family attend their banquet. So, for those businesspeople attending the McKinney Group event the next day, do you think he will forgive them?”
“I see.”
Erica suddenly understood.
“Now I want to see if those businesspeople expelled by the Nichols family will come to me seeking alliance.”
That afternoon, Joe rushed to Juan’s room and said, “Mr. Nichols, the investigation you requested has been completed. Here is the list of businesspeople that attended the McKinney Group event that night!”
The file contained a list of names, with a significant portion being those who had attended the Nichols family’s dinner the previous day.
Juan frowned. “Terminate all partnerships with these businesspeople.”
Joe was shocked. “Mr. Nichols! Terminating all of them is a drastic
move!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
With a grim expression, Juan said, “I want them to know that betraying me won’t end well. If anyone still wants to align with the McKinney Group, they will permanently lose the support of the Nichols Group.”
The next day, Debra went to intern at Tyson Enterprises as usual.
Gossip started circulating within Tyson Enterprises.
“Did you hear? the Nichols Group has terminated partnerships with many previously collaborating businesses today!”
“Of course, I heard. It’s said to be over twenty companies!”
“Luckily, Tyson Enterprises didn’t attend the McKinney Group event, or we’d be in trouble too. No one dares to offend the Nichols family in this industry! I wonder what the McKinney Group is thinking.”
“Exactly, it’s just a small business relying on some cleverness to
challenge the Nichols Group. Let’s wait and see! The McKinney Group is surely doomed!”
Suddenly, a voice called out, “Debra, Carole wants to see you!”
