From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Chapter 49

Debra swiftly pulled out a stun gun as Juan was about to tear her clothes.

Juan collapsed on the floor, his face flushed red.

Rubbing her temples, Debra muttered to herself, “If this isn’t handled properly, it could affect his health.”

Dragging Juan towards the bathroom, Debra drew a tub of cold water. After confirming it wouldn’t be lethal, she started removing Juan’s clothes.

But just then, Juan opened his eyes.

Debra froze in mid–motion. ‘Damn! Looks like the stun gun isn’t strong enough.‘

“Listen, I’m trying to help you, nothing more,” she said, raising her hands high.

The effects of the drug still lingered, but the shock had jolted Juan awake a bit.

“Get out!” he croaked.

⚫ Debra ran out of the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Soon, the sound of running water filled the bathroom.

Seizing the opportunity, Debra went upstairs. As she reached the guest room, a strange fragrance greeted

her.

It was mixed with the aroma of the essential oil Juan often used for better sleep.

Knowing Juan had trouble sleeping, Melody had laced the oil with something. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

That was why Debra was fine.

At this realization, she quickly turned off the diffuser.

Over an hour later, Juan emerged from the bathroom.

Seeing his usual complexion, Debra breathed a sigh of relief.

But before she could say anything, Juan gave her a cold, piercing stare.

His expression spoke volumes.

Debra could only force a smile.

Whether in this life or the last, Juan always viewed her in the same light.

He was convinced that she had conspired with Melody

“Stop using the essential oil in your room,” she said before heading upstairs.

Juan was sharp enough to realize what was going on.

The next day, the essential oil ended up in the trash can.

Juan resumed his usual attitude, and they were like strangers sharing a house.

Juan had Joe escort her to Arcane Academy. Upon entering the classroom, Debra noticed the last row. was missing a person.

Jordan often skipped class, and after the recent event, he couldn’t be bothered to attend at all.

“Debra, meet me at the noon break,” Randy said seriously.

Debra nodded.

Marion probably wanted to see her.

As expected, Marion’s car was parked at the school gate at noon.

Most of the students studying at Arcane Academy were rich kids, but Marion’s globally limited–edition off- road vehicle still drew the attention of many students.

“Shelia, look! That guy is hot!”

Just as class ended, Carrie noticed the crowd outside and nudged Shelia.

At a glance, Shelia recognized Marion, who was leaning against the car with sunglasses on.

He exuded a wildness that fascinated and intimidated people.

Curiously, Carrie asked, “Who is he? He doesn’t look like a student here. Shelia, you’ve met so many people, and anyone who can drive this car can’t be ordinary. Have you seen him before?”

Shelia, with a sense of superiority, said, “I met him at an auction before and exchanged a few words. He’s an overseas entrepreneur, known as Mr. Houston. He’s quite capable.”
