X Chapter 680 "Marion," Debra said suddenly, "the first twe met was at that auction, wasn't it?" Marion nodded. "Yes, it was." "Back then, you were deliberately bidding against me, just to get my attention, weren't you?" "Yes." Marion chuckled, and Debra frowned playfully. "You're sneaky. Who taught you to catch a girl's attention that way?" With a quiet laugh, Marion admitted, "It was the only idea I could cup with at the time." Debra's voice dropped. "What if I hadn't shown up that night? Or what if I'd shown up looking a mess?" That auction was a pivotal moment. If she had tried to mimic Shelia's style in her last life and ended up a laughingstock, Marion might never have noticed her. He might have even thought she was ridiculous. Marion's gaze intensified. "It wouldn't have mattered. Whether you were dressed to impress or in a mess, as long as you showed up, I'd have known you were the one I wanted." "Sweet talker," Debra muttered.
After all, in her previous life, their paths hadn't crossed at all.

"Debra, I will never lie to you." Debra smiled softly, her eyes meeting his. "I know. Even if the whole world lied to me, I believe you wouldn't." Their lips met in a slow, passionate kiss that seemed to last forever. It avet wasn't until they were both nearly out of breath that Marion finally pulled away, his voice husky. "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? Tempting me." Debra's cheeks flushed as she gently pushed him. "I'm going to take a bath." She darted towards the bathroom and left Marion grinning after her.
But as soon as she was out of sight, his smile faded. His eyes darkened as they landed on the image frozen on the TV screen.
The next morning, news broke online that the Odom Group's stock had plummeted overnight.
Debra was surprised by the swiftness of Chace's actions. As she was processing the news, Marion walked out of the bedroom, placing a new phone in her hand.
"I got you a replacement," he said. "Try not to lose it, alright?" "I know," Debra smiled back.
But just as she was about to call Chace, Marion interrupted her.

Debra immediately reached out to grab it, but Marion pulled his hand back, holding the ring just out of her reach. "Youcarer more about losing your phone than losing this ring? Looks like I'm not as important as I ght."
Debra pouted, stomping her foot lightly. "I knew you had it. Stop e m teasingand put it back on." Similar Search Topics for painting contractors Sponsored: Search Ads Read Next Story >
Marion finally gave in. He gently took her hand and slipped the ring back onto her finger, his tone serious.
