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 Shella, 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 | are soul mates, and we are engaged. Since you've been
locked up at the police station, | 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 Shella 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
Juan chimed in, “Shelia has a point. If Mr. Houston really is here, he should show himself. That way, we can avoid
any misunderstandings.”
-His open protection of Shelia disgusted Debra, but unfortunately, Marion hadn’t cwith her.
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 heart 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, | 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, | think | heard your fiancée
insult mine just now. | didn’t imagine that, right?”

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,”
Juan's eyes narrowed. “You're saying Shelia should apologize to Debra?”
Marion was unperturbed. “Bow and 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 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 I'll apologize to her.”
