Chapter 691

Juan's words annoyed Debra.

Michael swiftly stepped in front of her and shot back, "It seems your taste has taken a bit of a nosedive lately."

His gaze flicked to Shelia, his tone sharpening. "I wonder what tricks Miss Miles used this time. You seem to have an uncanny connection with the rich and powerful."

Shelia's smile remained firmly in place. "Juan and I are soul mates, and we are engaged. Since you've been locked up at the police station, I presume you don't know about Ms. Frazier and Mr. Houston's engagement. But still, the way you two are pulling on each other is indecent."

Michael's disdain for Shelia was written all over his face, but before he could form a retort, Ben got out of the car and jogged up to them.

He said, "Mr. Austin, it's good to see you free at last. Mr. Houston is waiting in the car. We should get going."

Shelia saw through the lie instantly, her voice dripping with mockery. "Oh, Ben, are you covering for Mr. Austin now? Mr. Houston just let his fiancée come out here late at night to pick up another man? Does that even sound believable to you?" "You're jumping to conclusions, Ms. Blair," Ben replied.

Juan chimed in, "Shelia has a point. If Mr. Houston really is here, he should show himself. That way, we can avoid any misunderstandings."
