"I've already had Randy investigate this. I believe we'll have results soon," Marion said steadily.
His words reassured Debra a little.
"Can you guess who did it?" Marion asked.
Debra rubbed her temples, and countless faces flashed through her mind. But no clear answer emerged.
"I have no idea, but it definitely wasn't Jordan."
Marion chuckled, "So, the person you met privately was Jordan."
"At a time like this, please don't joke around," Debra replied.
"If it was Jordan, it would be easy to handle," Marion said.
Debra fell silent.
That was true. The trending topic only mentioned her meeting a man at a nightclub without revealing his identity.
This s
s suggested either the poster didn't want Jordan's identity revealed or simply didn't know who he was, guessing only based on her jacket.
The latter seemed more likely. After all, few would dare expose this matter online if they knew it was Jordan.
"Will the Potter family intervene?" Debra asked
"Based on my understanding of Andrew, he will."
The scandal involving his brother and a married woman would definitely prompt action.
"So, I don't need to worry about it?" Debra sought confirmation
"I'll handle the poster, while Juan should have come up with a PR strategy. The Potter family will handle the news, so it won't stir up much of a storm for you. Just relax," Marion reassured her. Debra felt a sense of relief.
In the afternoon, the news sank without a trace. Joe came to fetch her, and Debra returned to the Nichols family's house.
The good news was that the matter hadn't come to Melody's attention.
The bad news was that her studies at Arcane Academy would soon become difficult to conceal.
Explosive news spread rapidly within this circle.
Juan was sitting on the sofa. His exterior betrayed no emotions, but Debra sensed the turbulent anger in his eyes
Juan was visibly angry, though he was always adept at concealing his feelings.
"Give me a fair explanation," he demanded.

School a classmate, Colleen, invited me to hang out. Since the Wagner family is prominent, I didn't
want to offend them, so I went," Debra explained.
"And then?" Juan pressed.
Seated opposite him, Debra recounted everything frankly. "Maybe because of some old grudges, Jordan tried to prank me, but we reconciled in the end."
Juan looked up, his gaze rattling her.
"W-What's wrong?"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"You went to a nightclub?"
The point he focused on surprised her.
"It's socializing. I bet you've been to one."
Seeing the dangerous glint in his eyes, Debra gave in. "The speculation in the news is absurd, If it affects the company's image, I'll cooperate with your PR efforts unconditionally." "Really?" Juan said.
His question made her feel like she was falling into a trap.
