Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Juan also looked over.

A red figure stood out in the crowd.

Debra, clad in a burgundy dress, seemed to captivate hearts with every gesture. Cameras flashed at her like she was a reigning superstar walking the red carpet.

'Debra?'

Juan took a moment to recognize her.

In the past, Debra preferred light makeup and plain dresses. This was the first time Juan had seen her like this.

Seeing Debra for the first time, Shelia was filled with jealousy.

Compared to the alluring Debra, she seemed too plain.

"Debra looks stunning."

Shelia's tone carried a subtle envy.

Debra spotted them and walked over.

Shelia thought Debra, unaware of her relationship with Juan, would be surprised or awkward, but Debra was poised and smiling.

"Mrs. Nichols is here. Who's the lady beside Mr. Nichols?" whispered a reporter.

Debra approached, linking her arm with Juan's, and extended a hand towards Shelia. "You must be Shelia mentioned by Juan. Nice to meet you! I'm Debra. You can call me Mrs. Nichols."

Shelia withdrew her hand from Juan's and shook hands with Debra.

"Nice to meet you, Mrs. Nichols," Shelia said awkwardly.

"Juan told me that he sponsored you. You're going to study abroad, right?" Debra said.

Shelia glanced at Juan.

"Shelia excels in her studies. She's planning to go abroad this year, but she's a bit timid, so I brought her here today to broaden her horizons," Juan said.

He had brought Shelia here to see the world of the upper class.

Juan hadn't completely fallen for Shelia yet. It was only after Shelia returned from abroad that Juan fell in love with her.

Even so, Juan attended all kinds of events with Shelia, to the point where everyone in Seamar City knew that Juan liked a college girl.

But none of this mattered to Debra anymore.

She came to the auction not to compete with Shelia but for a more important purpose.

"Well then, take good care of Miss Miles. I'm going in," Debra said, letting go of Juan's arm.

Juan was stunned.

He hadn't expected these words to come from Debra's mouth.

By the time he realized it, Debra had already entered the venue.

Juan frowned. 'When did the unruly Debra become so agreeable?'

Debra sat in an inconspicuous corner. The auction venue was filled with influential figures.

If she remembered correctly, an abandoned piece of land that nobody wanted was bought by an obscure merchant at this auction. Later, because of the upscale developments around it, the land became valuable.

The successful investment elevated the merchant's status, making him a commercial magnate.

Since she had decided to leave Juan, Debra wanted to build up her own assets.

After sitting down, Juan searched for Debra's figure. Beside him, Shelia asked, "Mr. Nichols, do you really want me to bid on your behalf?"

Juan's attention returned, and he said, "Yes, I trust your judgment."

Shelia blushed.

She had studied finance for so long at school, just for this day.

On the second floor, Debra watched them chat happily.

Shelia indeed had some talent, which was one of the reasons why Juan would be attracted to her.

In her last life, Shelia had once identified a prime piece of land, which impressed Juan.
