Chapter 9 Chapter

9

In the original timeline, Marion's identity was revealed three years after Caleb's death.

Debra wondered if her rebirth had unintentionally changed things.

Shella's face turned pale at Caleb's words.

"Marion is rumored to be an orphan. How could he be Caleb's grandcon?

She wondered if Caleb had heard everything she just said.

Offending Caleb meant no future in the financial world,

Shelia looked at Juan, seeking his help.

"Mr. Houston, Shelia just spoke without thinking. Considering her young age, please don't judge her too harshly."

Caleb merely snorted, "Heard there was a genius by Mr. Nichols's side. Well, I'm not impressed."

Shelia's face turned ashen.

It seemed she had lost all favor with Caleb.

Debra witnessed it all.

At this point, even if Juan spoke up, it wouldn't help. Caleb was already merciful enough not to kick her out.

Juan fell silent.

When Caleb's gaze fell on Debra, it softened. "You're from the Frazier family, right?"

Debra came to her senses and nodded. "I'm Debra."

"Barry wasn't much to look at when he was young, but his granddaughter turned out to be beautiful. Forty years ago, Barry and I swore brotherhood. Now, you've grown up." ""Brotherhood?'

Debra remembered her grandfather's carefree attitude. He was never involved in-family matters and passed away early. She never heard of him knowing Caleb. While she was at a loss, Caleb approached and asked, "Are you married?"

Debra nodded, "Yes."

"To which lad?"

Debra glanced at Juan.

Caleb's face fell when he saw Juan..

"Norman's grandson? Huh!"

Juan smiled, saying, "My grandpa said a lot about you too. Guess you guys were pretty close."

""Who was close to him?"

Shelia was left standing there awkwardly.

After Caleb left, Shelia tugged at Juan's sleeve. "Mr. Nichols, I want to leave."

Juan glanced at the sky outside. "I'll give you a ride."

Shelia asked, "What about Debra?"

Juan glanced at Debra conversing happily with Caleb and said indifferently, "She can find her way home."

Shelia's eyes held a hint of jealousy towards Debra.
