My Gentle Wife is a Real Divine Being

Chapter 160

“You…” Juan began, but Erica cut him off with a cold interruption.

“Keep some dignity, Juan.”

Juan took a deep breath, knowing Debra wouldn’t speak up for Shelia. However, he couldn’t bear the thought of Andrew taking Shelia away.

Andrew observed Juan’s indecision and pressed, “Mr. Nichols, have your made a decision?”

Shelia’s panic rose, her eyes wide with fear. “Juan, help me!”

She knew that falling into Andrew’s hands would not bode well for her. Everyone in Seamar City was aware of Andrew’s devotion to Jordan.

To make things right for his brother, Andrew would stop at nothing.

Andrew twirled the ring on his finger and said calmly, “Since Mr. Nichols. won’t speak, take her away.”

“Wait!” Juan exclaimed, his voice filled with resignation. “You can take her to the police station since she wrongly accused Jordan.”

“Juan!” Shelia gasped in disbelief.

She never expected Juan to back down like that.

He came up to her and spoke reluctantly. “It’s not a serious offense. I’ll have someone fetch you in a few days.”

“But…” Shelia’s face was full of grievances.

She knew that once she was in Andrew’s custody, it wouldn’t be as simple as a few days in jail.

However, a criminal record would tarnish her future employment prospects and her reputation.

Juan fell silent, allowing Andrew’s men to take Shelia away. Debra watched the scene unfold from the sidelines, her expression indifferent.

She remembered how, in her past life, Juan had favored Shelia to the point of defying Caleb and even Andrew. He never allowed Shelia to come to harm.

The trajectories of their fate had changed. Debra wondered wh nad driven Juan to compromise.

After all, Melody would never allow a woman with a criminal record to marry into their family. Juan should be more aware of this than anyone.

Debra looked up and met his eyes, which seemed to hold complex emotions.

“Let’s go,” Erica said, taking Debra’s hand.

She didn’t want to stay there for another second.

“Let’s go,” Andrew ordered.

The bodyguards followed behind him. Jordan cast a final glare at Juan before leaving the room.

Outside, Erica whispered, “With Andrew here, there’s nothing to fear.”

Debra stole a glance at Andrew’s back. He looked frail, his complexion even paler than when they last met. Perhaps he was truly ill.

As they exited the hotel, Erica turned to Debra. “Where are you staying tonight? Are you going back to the Nichols‘?”

Debra shook her head. After tonight’s events, going back to the Nichols‘ would only invite trouble.

Jordan chimed in, “Come stay at my place. Tomorrow is my birthday.”
