Marion smirked. “As | said, | have ways to deal with anyone trying to hurt Debra. How about you take a guess at
what I've been up to these days, running around all over the place?”
It took only a moment for Juan to realize the implication behind Marion's words. His eyes narrowed as he said,
“You're the one who cut off our key funding chains?”
Recently, major partners and overseas suppliers had suddenly cto a halt. Payments were delayed, and if it
weren't for the Nichols family’s reserve funds, their business would have ground to a standstill.
Juan had initially thought this was due to the McKinney Group's impact, causing hesitation among partners and
suppliers. He hadn't expected Marion to be involved.

Marion’s smile widened. “Every business has sdirty work to handle. You should remember what the Houston
family used to do, and you shouldn't have forgotten what | used to do either.”
Juan clenched his fists. Few had dared to threaten him so openly. “Marion, have you thought about the
consequences of going against me?”
Marion met Juan's gaze steadily, his smile never wavering. “There are no eternal kings in Seamar City. Now that
I'm back, | won't let you have an easy time.”
Seamar City was a hub for trade and commerce, its resources far superior to those of Booton.
Juan had long suspected Marion's intentions in Seamar City, and now Marion's ambitions were laid bare for all to
see.
Juan’s voice was like ice as he said, “If Debra knew your true purpose in Seamar City, | wonder if she would still
accept you.”
Marion’s smile faltered. Juan tossed the pen into the trash can, picked up the divorce agreement from the table,
and handed it to Joe.
“Let Debra discuss the divorce within person. You're not qualified to settle our marital issues.”
Juan's words wiped the smile off Marion's face. The next moment, his men flooded into the room.
Marion said, “I'm not negotiating with you. If it weren't for Debra, I'd handle this directly, without mincing
words.”
“Go ahead and try,” Juan said.
He still held considerable sway in Seamar City, and he wasn’t about to be intimidated by Marion's threats.
Soon, hurried footsteps echoed from outside the room, Pedro squeezed through the crowd and said, “I heard

you.
Pedro’s intervention earned him a cold stare from Marion, but he quickly lowered his head, pretending not
to notice.
He didn’t dare offend either Marion or Juan. If they started fighting, he'd be in serious trouble.
Pedro turned to Juan. “Mr. Nichols, your grandmother is looking for you. Shall | give you a ride back?”

Juan nodded, agreeing to Pedro's offer. As he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered something and looked
back at Marlon.
He said, “Debra is my wife. As long as | don’t sign the papers, she will always be my wife.”
