Chapter 459 The trainee program at Potter Entertainment had beer put on indefinite hold, which meant Debra no longer had any reason to go there.
Meanwhile, a multitude of new programs at the McKinney Group had been approved and were being diligently followed up by Marion, Ben, having sorted out the recent programs, followed Debra into her office.
"Oscar and those trainees have already joined our entertainment company," Ben reported. "Michael is personally overseeing their integration." Debra nodded. "I trust Michael's abilities. Leave everything over there to him." "There's one more thing," Ben sald, placing an invitation on the desk. “This is an invitation from the Nichols family." "Who sent it? Juan?" "No, it's from Melody Nichols." Debra picked up the invitation, her eyes scanning the intricate design.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelody had made her disdain for Debra quite clear, so receiving an invitation from her now could only mean one thing. Trouble was brewing.
She opened the invitation to see the content, "A jewelry banquet," she murmured, her voice laced with skepticism.
She didn't believe for a second that Melody was inviting her to anything good. She set the invitation aside.
"Do you know anything about this?" "Not much is known yet." "Who else has received this invitation?" "All the big names in the industry have received one." "Including the Blair family?" "Yes," Given the recent tension between them, it seemed unlikely that Declan would attend.
Debra smelled a rat and said, "We won't attend the banquet tonight." "Not attending?" Ben was surprised. "But this jeweler is the biggest in Seamar City. They've been in talks with us about a partnership. Their jewelry is much more upscale than that of Tyson Enterprises. If Michael could endorse Riley Jewelry this year, his commercial value would at least triple." Debra hesitated. She hadn't realized the Nichols family was connected to Riley Jewelry. If this banquet swayed the Riley family's decision for its partner, Michael might lose his best chance for advancement.
After a moment of silence, Debra de up her mind. "Alright, I'll go. Just in case, you'll cwith me. Our 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 459 goal is to win over the Riley family, not to get entangled with the Nichols family. Try to avoid conflicts with them." "I'll keep that in mind," Ben replied.
Debra nodded, her eyes scanning the invitation on her desk once more.
"Will Edgar and Shelia be there too?" "They should be since the Blair family is attending. I think they'll appear as a couple.

As evening approached, the Nichols family's old house was abuzz with activity. Luxury cars driving had been m steadily arriving at the gates since the afternoon, and by the tDebra arrived, the garden outside was already filled with guests.
Ben parked the car outside the gate, and Debra stepped out, taking in the grandeur of the eur of the entrance. She remembered that even in her previous life, her visits to this place had been few and far between.
She hadn't expected Melody to make such a big fuss, and she wondered who Melody was trying to impress.
