Shelia's lips curled into a sneer as she stepped forward and slapped Debra across the face. Erica stared in shock and tried to hit back. But Shelia's bodyguards formed a barrier, blocking her path. "Shelia, have you lost your mind?" Erica shouted. "How dare you hit Debra?"
Debra's mouth was bleeding. Her ears rang from the force of the blow. It was clear Shelia had put all her strength into that slap.
Shelia scoffed, raising her chin. "The Frazier Group is bankrupt, and she is now nothing but an empty shell. Why wouldn't I dare to hit her?"
Erica shot back, "Even if the Frazier Group is bankrupt, I'm still here. You slapped Debra, and I'll make sure you pay a heavy price."
Shelia smirked, unfazed. "Maybe you're not in a position to make that call."
"Try me," Erica scoffed, dismissive.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
She was the head of the Mathis family and a relative of the Houston family. In Seamar City, no one dared to provoke her.
But as she spoke, ten more bodyguards burst into the restaurant, surrounding them in a menacing circle.
Erica's eyes narrowed as she noticed the emblem on the newcomers' uniforms. They belonged to the Odom family.
The Odoms were based in Booton. She wondered what they were doing in Seamar City. A sense of unease washed over her.
Shelia, meanwhile, looked pleased with herself.
Debra had sensed something amiss earlier. Shelia, even with the child she was carrying, couldn't mobilize so many people from the Nichols family. And Melody would never support such a reckless move. These people clearly weren't hired by the Nichols family.
Just then, a tall man with deep-set features, dressed in an impeccable suit, walked in. His voice was steady and cold as he announced, "I'm late."
Erica's expression turned wary as she eyed the unfamiliar face. "Who are you?"
"Edgar, you're here," Shelia said, linking her arm with the man's.
The name made Debra pause. She had vaguely heard of him before her rebirth. Edgar Odom was the head of his family. If Juan was the big shot in Seamar City, Edgar was his counterpart in Booton. There was a shocking case in Seamar City involving Edgar. He had spent ten years searching for his fiancée, only to find her in prison because of her practice of prostitution. She suffered terribly and eventually died. Edgar then declared publicly that he would never marry. This heart-wrenching story brought great sympathy and benefit to the Odom family.

family. What has it got to do with Shella?'
"Edgar Odom," Erica challenged him, "why did you come here to cause us trouble? What are you up to?"
Even though Edgar was a formidable figure, she was not a nobody either.
Edgar remained detached. "I'm not causing you trouble, Miss Mathis. I'm just dealing with Debra."
The Frazier Group was already bankrupt. For people in their circle, stepping on the Frazier family was seen as a common move. Erica's face darkened as she realized the implications. "So, you want to set yourself against us."
