Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1133

"Yes. She rattled off the pros and cons. I didn't understand a word of it, but somehow, I managed to muddle through. The problem is, I am not the decision maker. What if she follows up and presses me?" Garland said.

Juan muttered, "Her company is doing well. Why would she need to work with you?"

"I don't know."

"Did something go wrong with her company?"

"I've no idea."

"Is the Buchan Group targeting them?"

"I'm not sure."

Frustrated, Juan rubbed his temples. "You had a meeting. Surely, you remember something."

Garland recalled it. "Well, she said something about Theda trying to get their hands on the shares of the Nichols Group. Then she said Theda couldn't get them. In the end, she proposed to work with me to dominate overseas and Seamar City markets. I told her I'd take it back to the company for discussion, but she hit me with this thing about me being the sole decision-maker for overseas operations. I panicked and said we didn't have any assets in Seamar City. Then she dropped the bomb that we've had a branch here for over a decade. I had to backpedal to avoid blowing my cover. It was a close call."

Juan fell silent.

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Your family doesn't have any assets in Seamar City. How can you be clueless about it?"

"What? Then why would Debra say that? Did she get it wrong?"

Juan let out a long, exasperated sigh. "She has doubted your identity. That whole conversation was a trap, and you walked right into it. You gave yourself away with that rookie-level mistake. You're such a brilliant protégé."

"What the hell? I treated her like a friend, and she set me up?" Garland's voice rose in indignation.

If Debra found out he was passing himself off as Fermin, it would be disastrous. Bert would definitely punish him.
