Chapter 119
Moreover, Shella was injured.
Shelia’s face lit up.
Receiving a message from Debra last night, Erica came early in the
morning.
She got out of the car, and the driver placed the luggage in the trunk.
Erica asked puzzledly, “Why wear a scarf in this weather?”
“I caught a cold,” Debra laughed dryly.
Erica sensed something wrong and, after pulling the scarf off. noticed the bruises on Debra’s neck.
“Who did this? Juan?” Erica was furious.
Knowing her temper, Debra tried to calm her down. “It doesn’t hurt
anymore.”
“Is it really that bastard?” Erica clenched her fists, ready to storm
into the house.
“Don’t go. I’m really fine.” Debra held her back.
“No! I must teach him a lesson,” Erica persisted.
Debra held her tightly. “Juan promised not to go after your company. If you make a scene, my efforts will go to waste.”
“Am I afraid of him? Let him kill me if he can!”
Debra quickly got Erica into the car and had the driver lock the
+25 BONUS
doors.
She couldn’t let Erica cause a scene.
“Debra! Are you just going to let him treat you like this? What’s so good about this kind of man? You’re driving me crazy.”
“Don’t worry. After hurting me, he’ll find a way to make it up to me. I won’t lose out.”
Erica didn’t know what to say.
Debra reassured her, “It’s okay. No need to be so angry.”
Suddenly, Erica said, “My mom was killed by Javier Mathis.” Debra was taken aback.
The rims of Erica’s eyes reddened, and she continued with suppressed anger, “That’s why I took his company. He has to pay the price. A man who beats his wife deserves to die!”
Debra squeezed Erica’s hand.
Erica sniffed, “It’s all in the past.”
It was in the past, but the pain was real.
It was not easy to let go.
The car was parked outside the school gate. Erica accompanied Debra to have breakfast. When they arrived at Building #2, they ran into Shelia.
Shelia’s face looked haggard.
Debra immediately noticed the black suit Shelia was wearing, with the Nichols family crest on the chest.
It was Juan’s coat.
