Chapter 166
Juan hurried towards the center of the stage, pushing through the crowd. His gaze was fixed on the clown in the
Idle.
He was determined to expose Tracy’s identity. Debra saw his aggressive look and frowned.
“What’s Juan up to?‘ she wondered.
“Oh no, is he planning to publicly unmask Debra?” Erica freaked out.
They only wanted Juan to see Tracy at this masquerade, not to unmask Debra in front of everyone.
Randy’s heart raced, “Damn, isn’t Juan supposed to be mature and composed? Why is he acting recklessly like this?”
Debra’s heart leaped to her throat as she realized the imminent danger. She couldn’t just leave, not with Juan so close to exposing her secret.

“Come with me,” Marion said with a reassuring voice.
His cloak concealed her as they quietly blended into the crowd. Thus, Juan lost sight of her.

“Sir, let’s go!” Joe urged, fearing Tracy might reappear and provoke another reckless action from Juan.

“Okay.”
Meanwhile, Marion escorted Debra to a safe corner, his vampire–like disguise almost comical despite the tense situation. She couldn’t help but smile, her nerves still on edge.
Seeing her reaction, Marion smiled indulgently. “Laughing. You almost got caught.”
“You saved me. Besides, even if Juan had unmasked me, he might not have recognized me.”
Debra was confident about that. Marion reached out to adjust a strand of her hair.
