Chapter 188
Shelia frantically pulled out her phone to call Juan, while Joe stood by coldly watching. “Ms. Miles, no need to bother. Mr. Nichols won’t take your call.”
Shelia didn’t believe it and called Juan one after another, but there was no response.
Completely devastated, Shelia knelt down as if seeking help, pulling at Joe’s sleeve. “Joe, please, help me. I can’t just leave like this. Can you call Mr. Nichols?”
Joe had a frown. Shelia burst into tears. “I–I belong to Mr. Nichols already. If he doesn’t want me, he can tell me directly! But he can’t treat me like this!”
Losing Juan’s sponsorship meant she was nothing at school.
She would face hunger, poverty, and the disdain of her classmates again.
In the end, Joe relented, handing his phone to Shelia, saying coldly,” Even if Mr. Nichols answers, it won’t change anything. What Mr. Nichols decides, no one can alter. And besides, you brought this upon yourself!”
He had been a bystander by Mr. Nichols‘ side for so long.
He saw through Shelia’s previous tactics, but Mr. Nichols was blinded by her.
At this point, Shelia couldn’t bear to hear anything Joe said. She immediately dialed Juan’s number, and he answered after one ring.
“Is it done?”
Hearing Juan’s voice, Shelia felt a wave of joy. “Juan, why don’t you want me anymore? What did I do wrong? I can change! Please forgive
me!”

There was a moment of silence on the other end upon hearing Shelia’s
voice.
Juan coldly replied, “Who drugged me last night, and who deleted Debra’s call records to me this morning? Do I need to say more?”
Shelia’s face froze.
She had drugged him and deleted Debra’s call records to him in the morning.
But Juan used to be very forgiving towards her! Not to mention they had already been intimate!
“Juan, but I really like you…”
Shelia’s voice was weak.
Juan mercilessly hung up the phone.
“Ms. Miles, please.”
Joe took back the phone as several workers entered the room, packing all of Shelia’s personal belongings.
Shelia collapsed on the floor.
Was this her only possible outcome?
Meanwhile, back at the apartment, Debra opened the curtains and saw the workers downstairs moving Shelia out.
She recognized Joe and noticed Shelia carrying her belongings.
“What’s going on? Did Juan kick Shelia out?” Erica asked, gossiping.
