Chapter 691 Juan's words annoyed Debra.
Michael swiftly stepped in front of her and shot back, "It seems your taste has taken a bit of a nosedive lately." His gaze flicked to Shelia, his tone sharpening. "I wonder what tricks Miss Miles used this time. You seem to have an uncanny connection with the rich and powerful." Shelia's smile remained firmly in place. "Juan and I are soul mates, and we are engaged. Since you've been locked up at the police station, I presyou don't know about Ms. Frazier and Mr. Houston's engagement. But still, the way you two are pulling on each other is indecent." Michael's disdain for Shelia was written all over his face, but before he could form a retort, Ben got out of the car and jogged up to them.
He said, "Mr. Austin, it's good to see you free at last. Mr. Houston is waiting in the car. We should get going." Shelia saw through the lie instantly, her voice dripping with mockery. "Oh, Ben, are you covering for Mr. Austin now? Mr. Houston just let his fiancée cout here late at night to pick up another man? Does that even sound believable to you?" "You're jumping to conclusions, Ms. Blair," Ben replied.

If he didn't show up right now, those people might spread rumors to tear down both her and Michael tomorrow. Michael couldn't afford another hit to his reputation.
Just as these thoughts swirled through her mind, a figure emerged from the shadows. Shelia's smug expression froze the moment she saw who it was.
Marion strode over without hesitation, slipping his arm around Debra's waist as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Debra blinked in surprise, her hearto skipping a beat.
Marion's gaze flicked toward Juan, taking in Shelia clinging to his arm like a lovesick teenager.
Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "A few days apart, I didn't expect you to be back in the arms of another woman." "You too," Juan countered, his gaze softening as it landed on Shelia. "It's getting late. Let's head home." "Okay," Shelia replied, resting her head against Juan's shoulder.
But just as they were about to leave, Marion's voice rang out again. "Mr. Nichols, I think I heard your ancée insult mine just now. I didn't imagine that, right?" Juan and Shelia stopped in their tracks.
vel Marion's arm tightened around Debra's waist, and he sneered, "I- don't take kindly to anyone mistreating my woman. It doesn't matter who they are."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJuan's eyes narrowed. "You're saying Shelia should apologize to Debra?" Marion was unperturbed. "Bow and E!! apologize." "Are you saying this because you don't takeseriously?" Juan said coldly.
Marion's lips curved into a smile, but his eyes remained cold and om unyielding it seems you are quite self-aware." The air between them crackled with tension as neither man showed any sign of backing down.
Shelia tugged at Juan's sleeve and whispered, "It's fine. This is on me, and fill apologize to her."
