Another shareholder chimed in, "Alexander has a point. We've been partners for a year. Are you really gonna bail over some gossip? Fine. You can leave after paying back every perk Mrs. Houston ever gave you."
The room fell silent. Truth was, Debra had always been the fairest business partner they'd ever had.
Emmett stepped forward. "It's not personal, Mrs. Houston. But Seamar City runs on rules. If we piss off Mr. Nichols, our businesses will suffer."
Nods rippled through the group.
Debra leaned back in her chair. "So, you think Juan's word carries more weight than mine?"
The partners exchanged uneasy glances.
Emmett scoffed, "Let's be real. Without Mr. Nichols, no one would've noticed you. Now you're remarried..."
The room tensed at his brazenness. He continued, "Sure, Marion Houston's got your back. But a woman's still a woman. Without him, you'd drown here."
"Oh?" Debra sneered. "Didn't expect you to think of me that way."
The other partners echoed, "Yeah. Beat their offer, and we continue our cooperation."
None of them were foolish. They could see the Nichols Group was not what it once was, while the McKinney Group was a rising star.
They naturally preferred to collaborate with the latter.
Debra crossed her arms. "Well then, let me make my stance clear. My offer will not change."
