Chapter 715
Liza screamed in fear as she glanced in her rearview mirror. The car behind hers was barely a centimeter away from crashing into her own.
She fumed, "Who the hell drives like that? Do you have any idea how much this car costs?"
The other car was common, and she assumed the driver was some reckless, nouveau riche fool with no sense of road safety.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
But when the driver stepped out, her blood ran cold.
Her face turned pale as she recognized Randy. She had heard of the Osborne family's influence, even when she was abroad. In fact, her visit to Seamar City this time was to build a good relationship with them. Randy's icy gaze swept over her. "Who said Debra doesn't have a family? The Osborne family stands behind her."
Cathryn stepped forward, trying to smooth things over. "Mr. Osborne, you're joking. Debra and you aren't related by blood. How could you support her?"
Randy retorted, "That's none of your concern. I will be the best man at her wedding. That makes me as good as her family."
Cathryn fell silent, knowing better than to push her luck. But Liza wasn't ready to let it go.
She argued, "Cathryn is only looking out for you. You're not engaged or married. If you back Ms. Frazier up like this, people might get the wrong idea."
Randy frowned, displeased with her meddling. Just then, Erica exited the car.
People around couldn't help but speculate about their relationship.
Erica was strikingly beautiful, but today, she looked even more imposing in her high heels. With her delicate makeup and cold demeanor, she had the aura of an untouchable ice queen.
Liza scowled, eyeing Erica up and down. "And who are you?"
Erica replied calmly, "Erica, CEO of the Mathis Group."
Liza's expression faltered. She had heard of Erica and knew the latter was related to the Houston family.
Erica continued, "Debra is like a sister to me, and my family will back her."
As if to drive the point home, she raised her voice a little, ensuring that everyone present could hear her. "In fact, we've prepared a gift of one billion dollars for her. Let's see who dares to say a word against her now."
Liza turned even paler. She could barely form a response before Randy announced in a booming voice, "The Osborne family will do the same."
Liza stammered, her voice shaking with disbelief. "You must be crazy. You're throwing insane amounts of money at someone who isn't even your family."
Just then, a sleek Lincoln limousine pulled up to the curb. The crowd instinctively parted, creating a wide berth around the vehicle. The car bore the distinct crest of the Potter family, a symbol that commanded respect and awe.
The door swung open, and Andrew emerged, assisted by his dutiful butler. The onlookers immediately bowed their heads in deference.
The Potter family's influence in Seamar City was unparalleled, their power and prestige known to all.
Andrew surveyed the crowd, his
voice calm and measured as he spoke. "We, the Potter family, will give Debra a gift of ten billion dollars, along with jewelry, gold, artwork, and ten percent of the Potter Group's shares. Here is the gift list.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. It was an astronomical gift, one that left everyone stunned and disbelieving.
Even Randy and Erica, who had been
eager to show their support for Debra, were taken aback. They had offered large sums of money in the heat of the moment, but Andrew's meticulously planned gesture, complete with a prepared gift list, put their impromptu offers to shame.
