Chapter 1587: Chapter 1687

I scoffed, “Of course, I do.

”

Refusing to let her take on the role of a wise elder lecturing a rebellious kid, I continued defiantly, “Are you going to tell me that Shirley is the daughter of the clan leader and is next in line to lead the witches? In my opinion, if she keeps acting out, abusing her status to cause trouble like this, then the witches are headed straight for disaster.

”

Debra’s POV:

The woman fixed me with a narrowed gaze that seemed to pierce through the air.

After a prolonged stare-down, she emitted a cold snort and turned on her heel, exiting the manor without so much as a word.

Her departure left me somewhat dumbfounded.

She was leaving just like that?

Didn’t she want to argue with me?

I turned to Shirley, whose face mirrored my own astonishment.

“Ms.

Miller…”

Shirley began tentatively, but the woman interrupted her, commanding her entourage, “Get Shirley out of here.

She is not allowed to stay.

”

I was even more surprised when I heard that.

Was she actually siding with me, finding Shirley’s stance unreasonable?

I bit back any comment, opting to observe the unfolding scene.

“No!” Shirley couldn’t contain herself upon hearing the woman’s decision.

“I refuse to leave.

I need to teach Debra a lesson today!”

I understood what Shirley was thinking.

She viewed it as a prime opportunity to confront me, and if she let it slip by, who knew when another chance would present itself? With Andrew

likely to be more cautious and her mother keeping a watchful eye, this might be her best shot.

However, Shirley’s protest fell on deaf ears.

The woman remained adamant, determined to haul her away.

Shirley’s panic escalated as she yelled, “Let go of me! I’m not leaving! I need to teach Debra a lesson and handle her properly!”

Her outburst only deepened the scowl on the woman’s face.

“Shirley!”

The woman’s voice dipped lower, tinged with annoyance.

Overcome by fear, Shirley fell silent, no longer putting up a fight, and obediently trailed behind the woman.

As they left, the tension lifted from the butler and the maids, who visibly sighed with relief.

“Debra, you are quite something,” the butler said, giving me a thumbs up.

“You are truly worthy of being Mr.

Pierce’s future wife.

Not only did you have the guts to slap Shirley, but you also stood up to Addy.

Nobody in the witches’ clan has ever dared to do that.

”

Watching them depart, I couldn’t help but ask, “Who exactly is that woman? Why is Shirley so terrified of her?”
