Given his expression, Juan knew that this plot of land would fetch a hefty sum.

Yet he chose to let Stephen have it as a favor.

That was just Juan’s style.

“I was just paying a compliment. You’re reading too much into it,” Debra replied.

Juan furrowed his brow, assessing the sincerity of Debra’s words.

She downed a glass of champagne.

In the eyes of others, she was just a failed woman abandoned by her husband.

Debra felt disheartened. She had planned to mingle with the business elites, but with Juan gone, it became difficult.

A smile played on Debra’s lips as she got an idea.

But soon enough, the piano keys followed her fingers, producing a melodious tune that perfectly matched the atmosphere of the party. The guests were captivated by the unexpected piano music.
