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.
