“How so?” Debra retorted. “When you took all the advertisers from me, did you show are mercy?”
The air in the room grew tense. None of those shareholders dared to intervene
Debra leaned in and whispered to Theda, “If I’m night, you signed a betting agreement with Runestone Bank. They invested two billion dollars in Buchan Entertainment’s rise in Seamar City. But if you can’t make four billion dollars in three years, you lose the bet. And if you lose. you know what the consequences are, right?”
If she lost, she’d have to repay the four billion. If she couldn’t, everything she had pledged would go to Runestone.
Debra had figured out the motives behind her sudden cut with the Buchan Group and her eagerness to take over the Nichols Group, and Debra had obtained more information on her through Marion.

“Theda.” Melody tried to stop her.
Theda replied, “It’s okay. Mr. Nichols just needs to come and explain himself a bit. Ms. Frazier won’t cause any trouble, not right before her wedding,”
To be on the same side, she requested Juan to come and hang up the phone.
“Ms. Frazier, please come with me,” she said, heading toward the door.
The shareholders exchanged looks, unsure about what was going on.
Once they were outside, Theda asked, “You could have used the penalties to crush me, but you

didn’t. Why?”
Buchan Entertainment had recently taken 80% of the market share for ads and endorsements. Their business was flourishing, but the artists were already stressed out.
