Chapter 585
The room fell silent.
Debra picked up the car keys on the table and said, "I have my plans. Whether Mr. Andrew Potter is sincere or has ulterior motives, as long as it helps me reach my goal, I'll do it. From now on, I'll handle things on my own. You two stay out of it." She glanced at Marion and left without saying anything harsh.
Marion immediately followed her. Randy and Erica exchanged uneasy glances, feeling the tension in the air.
Randy rubbed the back of his neck, murmuring, "Uh, we should probably head out too. Mr. Andrew Potter, we'll catch up later."
He quickly grabbed Erica's hand and whispered, "Come on, let's go."
Andrew didn't try to stop them. Once everyone was gone, a violent cough shook his body. The butler was worried.
"Sir, you've been stressing all night. You should get some rest."
Andrew's face was pale. He'd been suppressing his discomfort. "Not yet. Someone still hasn't shown up."
The butler was taken aback, but before he could ask further, Jordan, who had been lurking outside, finally entered. He wore a black mask and a baseball cap, his face hidden from view. "Who's there?" the butler asked, instantly on alert.
Jordan pulled off his mask and cap. "It's me."
The butler was surprised. "Mr. Jordan Potter?"
Andrew dismissed the butler.
"You can leave us."
"Understood."
Once the butler left, Jordan immediately approached, worried about Andrew's condition.
"Your health isn't great. Why haven't you called a doctor?"
"It's just a minor issue. Not worth bothering anyone over. I asked you to keep an eye on Debra and watch for any moves from the Lowe Group. Have you noticed anythin

Jordan asked, "Did you plan all of this tonight?"
Andrew's tone remained indifferent. "If that's what you think."
"I'm not doubting you. It's just..."
"In everyone's eyes, the head of the Potter family will do whatever it
takes to reach his goals. I've always wielded power to secure my position. Everything I do is
calculated. Now, go. Make sure no one finds out who you are."
"But tonight..."
"You ran into Debra, didn't you?"
Jordan pressed his lips together, silently admitting the truth.
"Debra's smart. As long as you pretend not to know her, she won't expose you." Andrew's fatigue was apparent as he added, "Go. Don't come back anytime soon." "Okay."
Jordan hesitated for a moment, casting one last worried glance at Andrew before slipping out into the night.
The next morning, news broke that a
trainee from Potter Entertainment had been found dead. Ashley had gotten drunk and fallen into the ocean the previous night, and her body washed up on the beach early that morning.
Her parents stormed into the office building, demanding justice, but since she had violated company policy by sneaking out, the company bore no responsibility. Debra frowned as she read the news.
