members.
By the time the city was fully awake, Frazier Group had officially declared bankruptcy.
Reporters swarmed like bees, buzzing with questions and eager to get Debra’s take on the sudden collapse. She stepped out of her car and headed toward the entrance of the McKinney Group headquarters when microphones were thrust into her face, a barrage of questions following her every
step.
“Ms. Frazier, do you have any comments on Frazier Group’s bankruptcy?”
“There are reports that Mr. Frazier embezzled hundreds of millions and misappropriated one billion in public funds. He’s facing decades in prison. What’s your view on this?”
“Ms. Frazier, there’s talk that you’re remarrying Mr. Nichols. Is there any truth to that?”
The questions came thick and fast, but Debra remained stoic as she walked straight toward the building.
Ben stepped in, blocking the reporters. “Sorry, Ms. Frazier doesn’t take media questions.”
Undeterred, the reporters persisted. “Now that the Frazier family is bankrupt, what position do you hold at McKinney Group, Ms. Frazier?”
“There’s a rumor that you and Tracy McKinney are very close. There’s also talk of both you and Mr. Nichols being unfaithful during your marriage. Do you have anything to clarify?”
Debra paused, turning to face the cameras. She removed her sunglasses and smiled. “Though the Frazier Group is bankrupt, I have my job at the McKinney Group. I hope everyone will not disturb my work. Thank you.”
Her grace under pressure instantly won her admirers, with social media abuzz with praise.
[Can’t believe she gets bothered even at work. These reporters are something else.]
[It’s not Debra’s fault for the debt. Bankruptcy is the right thing to do. Debra did a good job!]
[Is she really not considering entering showbiz? She looks so good on camera.]
In her office, Debra scrolled through some of the comments. Ben walked in and reported, “All the money has been transferred to the former shareholders. All the shares of Frazier Group are now in your hands.”
“Distribute them according to the ratio,” Debra instructed. “Those eight people were key elites before. They can be given important roles here at the McKinney Group.”
“Got it.” Ben nodded.
Debra rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful. Do you think I should strike while the iron is hot?”

held up her phone, showing him the comments. “Entering showbiz.”
Ben was stunned.
Debra looked at herself in the mirror, seeing her beautiful face reflected. In her past life, she had focused. entirely on Juan, becoming a housewife and learning finance for him, even though finance wasn’t her true passion.
In this new life, she could choose her future path. When she was little, she had once dreamed of becoming a star, but life’s events had made her dreams seem impossible.
What Michael said over the phone yesterday had stirred something within her. Entering showbiz might
not be a bad idea.
“But, is this really okay?” Ben asked, glancing at the pile of documents on the desk.
The McKinney Group was at a crucial time, with numerous projects awaiting Debra’s approval. Its revenue had exceeded the peak earnings of the Nichols Group, truly making it a giant in Seamar City.
