Debra was very serious.
But her words were partly true. The Frazier family wasn’t what it used to be, which was why Juan grew colder toward her in her last life:
For
Juan, their marriage was all about business. Once she lost her value, she meant nothing to him.
When the Frazier family went broke, Juan abandoned her.
“You’re going to manage your family business? Is this a joke?” Randy started, but Marion’s glare cut him
off.
Randy quickly corrected himself, “It’s not that I look down on you, but finance isn’t your field. You haven’t learned how to run a company. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It’s hard for a young lady like you to convince those old guys.”
“I know that,” Debra replied.
“Then why do you….
Marion’s warning glance made him falter. “It’s just unrealistic for you to run the Frazier Group.”
“It’s my grandfather’s legacy. I must preserve it. Although I haven’t formally studied, I have a plan.”
“What plan?”
“I’ll go to school.”
‘School?”
Randy was stumped by Debra’s logic.
*Juan invested in a finance school. I should be able to pass the entrance exam.”
“Are you sure?”
“I am.”
Debra downplayed it. In fact, the school Juan invested in was attended by finance prodigies. It wasn’t easy to get in.
an international finance school, mostly
Over the decades, there had been only one poor student admitted. Shelia was enrolled only because of her high scores and Juan’s recommendation.
Debra lacked the foundation. Getting in wouldn’t be easy.
You want to bribe your way in?” Randy asked.
“I can do it now, but not forever.”
Debra wasn’t that naïve. She was confident because, in her last life, she had learned a lot about finance to please Juan and consulted many experts in the industry.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Her financial knowledge and practical skills were quite solid. She just didn’t have the chance to showcase them to Juan before the Frazier family fell.
“Don’t worry. I’m confident in this,” Debra said. “Besides asking about Aaron, the other reason I came was for that sewage area. Mr. Houston, if you trust me, I want to collaborate with you on my first project.”
Randy shook his head at Marion.
‘No! Don’t agree. This is a loss–making deal. Have you forgotten the lesson of losing ten billion dollars?”
It was brutal.
Marion ignored Randy’s signal and smiled, “If interested, I’d love to collaborate with you.”
“Thank you, I have to go now,” Debra smiled.
After Debra left, Randy stomped his foot in frustration. “You agreed again! This isn’t even your money, and you’re squandering it.”
“Do you know why I agreed?”
“Why?”
“She got her master’s degree at seventeen.”
