NovelEnglish| Chapter 481 Ashley strode towards Debra, enveloping her hand in a warm, affectionate grasp." Ms. Frazier, we've both been in the trenches together as traires. You know Eve, so please, don't take this the wrong way.
Anyone with a pulse in the industry knew Debra wasn't someone to be underestimated. Though she held the title of general manager at the McKinney Group, whispers of her special relationship with Tracy, the group's real master, had long since spread like wildfire.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe recent parade of luxury cars ferrying Debra around only served to fuel Ashley's suspicion that Debra and Tracy were entangled in a romantic liaison.
Debra, however, swiftly extricated her hand from Ashley's grip, leaving the latter awkwardly suspended in mid- air.
Henry stepped in, his voice dripping with sycophantic charm.
"Ms. Frazier, why don't we head upstairs and have a little chat? After you," he gestured, as if ushering royalty. Eve, witnessing her father's groveling display, felt a hot surge of anger and anxiety course through her.
Once inside the meeting room, Henry sealed the door shut and turned to Debra, his nerves betraying him with a slight quiver in his voice. "Ms. Frazier, the trainee's departure was sanctioned by Mr. Andrew Potter. I'm aware you both have your strategies, but I desperately need your help.
Debra's brow furrowed in feigned confusion. "I don't quite get it. What could I possibly assist you with?" Henry rushed to explain, "The company's losses are astronomical. Even Edgar's investment has vanished into thin air. If he comes seeking retribution, I..." Debra's expression remained impassive. "Mr. Cameron, the decision to release the trainee was made jointly by Mr. Andrew Potter and myself. Therefore, the losses are of no consequence to your position as chairman. As for Edgar... Well, investment always carries a degree of risk. You know what to say if he comes knocking." Henry's eyes widened as understanding dawned on him. The pieces clicked into place. Juan's withdrawal, the influx of trainees into the McKinney Group, and the program's failure affected only Edgar's investment. It was all a meticulously planned Chapter 481 trap.

Henry, now eager to please, responded, "Ms. Frazier, just tellwhat you need, and consider it done." Debra retrieved a contract from her bag and held it out to Henry. "Sign it and recruit Freya." Henry's brows shot up in surprise. "Freya?" Freya had been dismissed, and Henry was confused.
The contract was clear. Freya was to be recruited by Potter Entertainment. Her signature was already in place, awaiting only Henry's endorsement and the company's stamp. "But the trainee program is all but finished," Henry said weakly. "Even if we recruit her, she won't stand a chance at debuting."
The trainee program had long lost its funding, and now only Eve and Ashley remained. In a few days, it would be completely dismantled. Recruiting Freya at this point seemed pointless.
Debra silenced him with a look. "Just do as I say. I made her a promise and I intend to keep it. Whether she debuts or not is up to her abilities. Do you get it, Mr. Cameron?" X
