Chapter 7

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.

It made sense. Given Debra's intelligence, how could she see the future value of that land?

Juan realized he was overthinking it.

"Hope so."

Juan turned away, leading Shelia to meet other people.

Shelia glanced at Debra.

Debra managed to capture the hint of triumph in Shelia's eyes.

She downed a glass of champagne.

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

Her husband left her and took another woman to meet business partners. Could anything be more of a joke than this? Debra felt disheartened. She had planned to mingle with the business elites, but with Juan gone, it became difficult. How could she approach those entrepreneurs without seeming intentional?

Debra scanned the surroundings and spotted a piano not far away.

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

With graceful steps, Debra approached the piano and exchanged brief greetings with the pianist before sitting down.

As the heiress to the Frazier family, she had to learn many things, though she never thought she'd use them. But now they had come in handy.

It had been a while since Debra played the piano, so she was a bit rusty.

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. Many turned to look in her direction, and after she finished playing, applause filled the room.
