Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1132

"Yep."

"I thought you meant my company."

"Not really," Garland quickly reassured her. "Even if Theda has those shares, she can't compete with you."

Debra took a sip of what she thought was tea, only to realize it was Coke. She glanced at Garland, who was wolfing down his food with no regard for manners.

"I've heard that you have a ruthless streak and get things done efficiently," she probed. "If we join hands, dominating overseas and Seamar City markets won't be a problem. What do you think?"

Garland nearly choked on the food. 'Ruthless? Efficient? That sounds more like my dad.'

As for cooperation, he didn't have the authority to make that decision.

"What you're saying makes sense," he stammered. "Given our relationship, a partnership wouldn't be a problem. But this is a big decision. I'll need to discuss it with my dad."

Noticing Debra's suspicious look, he quickly corrected himself. "I mean, I'll talk to the shareholders and get my dad's approval."

"I heard that your father has retired and no longer involves himself in company affairs. Isn't the Eaton Group your domain now?"

"Uh..." Garland hesitated.

His mind started to race again. He hadn't paid much attention to his public image, and now he was worried Debra would see through his identity.

"Absolutely," Garland replied, eager to send her away.

If she asked more questions, he was afraid he would crumble. He had no clue about their businesses. He couldn't remember even if he tried.

As soon as Debra left, he whipped out his phone and saw Juan's reply.

Losing no time, he called Juan and spoke anxiously. "Debra wants to partner with my family. Should I agree or not?"

Juan was taken aback. "Partnership?"
