From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Even though Debra didn’t like Edgar, she took his advice to heart.

It was clear that Edgar had been entangled with the Lowe family for years, but he had managed to keep it under wraps so well that even Andrew hadn’t uncovered the connection.

Debra meticulously noted every business tycoon attending that banquet. Some were familiar faces, others were on the rich list, but everyone present was either wealthy or influential. The Lowe family had ties with so many powerful people, which explained why they had remained untouchable for so long.

As Debra was deeply focused on memorizing each attendee, she suddenly bumped into someone’s chest. Startled, she stepped back and looked up to see who it was. Despite the mask, she recognized Jordan instantly,Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Debra froze, and so did Jordan for a moment. Quickly regaining his composure, Jordan pretended not to know her and murmured, “I’m sorry.”

He then walked past her without another glance. Debra watched his retreating figure. He was dressed in a flashy, patterned suit jacket, looking like a street thug with his newly dyed red hair. If she hadn’t known him well, she might not have recognized him.

She remembered that Jordan should have gone back with his team for training. She wondered if his mysterious mission was related to the Lowe family.

Before she could ponder further, Peter approached her with two maids in tow. Debra had no intention of getting involved with Drake and turned to leave.

Peter hurriedly called out, “Miss, please wait a moment.”

He caught up with Debra, noticing the displeasure on her face, and quickly put on a smile. “Mr. Lowe has instructed us to give you a gift as an apology for the fright you experienced at our banquet tonight. Please accept it.”

He signaled to one of the maids, who promptly presented a velvet box. Inside was an exquisite ruby necklace, its cut flawless, and it was surrounded by dozens of diamonds. Debra recognized it as a prized piece from the Riley family’s jewelry collection.

*Please accept it, Miss,” Peter repeated.

No woman could resist such a lavish gift, especially one from the Lowe Group’s CEO.

Debra picked up the necklace briefly before placing it back in the box. Tell Mr. Lowe that I don’t need this. An apology isn’t necessary. We’re all here to have fun, and if it’s not enjoyable, I simply won’t come

next time.”

Peter’s smile froze at her words, Her message was clear. She didn’t want any involvement with the Lowe family, and this would be her first and last time attending their banquet.

Her attitude left Peter uncertain. Women, whether they were socialites or not, rarely refused such extravagant gifts. But Debra showed no interest.

“Sir, what should we do? Mr. Lowe instructed us…” one of the maids whispered worriedly.

This was the first time Drake had shown interest in someone.
