Chapter 1004
Garland and Liza were dragged to the guest rooms on the third floor.
“Givea minute. Your rooms will be ready soon,” Erica said cheerfully, rushing to arrange things.
Liza, dressed in her pajamas, glanced at Garland. “Are they holding us hostage here?”
“I'm not sure,” Garland replied, glancing at Erica and Randy, who were enthusiastically directing the maids to
clean up the rooms. “Probably not. They seem pretty friendly.”
Downstairs, Debra asked Marion, “Do you think the Eaton family is connected to K?”
“I'm not sure about the Eaton family,” he replied, handing her a peeled orange slice. “But
nd and Liza? Definitely not.”

Debra took the orange and popped it into her mouth. “I don’t know. It just feels strange that they cto
Seamar City at a tlike this. Garland, in particular, is acting like a different person from before.”
“Don’t worry too much,” Marion reassured her. “Now that they're here, Randy and Erica will keep tabs on them.
Their every move will be under our watch.”
“Let’s hope so,” Debra sighed.
Juan arrived at the Eaton family’s villa in Seamar City and called Garland, who answered quickly.
Before Juan could say anything, Garland started with a raised voice, “Ah, yeah, it's me. I've been invited to stay
at the Potter Mansion. Uh-huh, | might not be back anytsoon. If you need me, maybe another day. I'll call
you when | have time.”
He glanced around and added, “I've got stuff going on here, so I'll talk to you later. Bye.”
The busy tone from the phone made Juan frown. He wondered why Debra and Marion invited Garland to the
Potter Mansion.
Just then, a few cars pulled up outside the villa. Joe stepped out and hurried toward Juan. “Sir, we've finally found
you.”
Juan responded indifferently, “Didn't | already fire you?”
Lowering his head, Joe said, “Mrs. Nichols Sr. instructedto find you and take you back to oversee things.”
Juan hadn't been to the office for a while. While things were running through online meetings, it left room for
mishaps.
“Is the company running smoothly?”
“Yes, but...”

“If it's fine, then leave.”
As Juan turned to leave, Joe called out, “Mrs. Nichols Sr. wants you back to preside over the funeral. Your absence
will affect the company’s image.”
“I nearly forgot about that.”

Juan's expression didn’t waver. “Shelia and | were in a second marriage. Hosting a grand funeral for her would be
inappropriate. Don’t involve the media. Handle it discreetly.”
“But...
“She doesn’t need to be buried in the Nichols family cemetery. I'll finalize our divorce paperwork in a few days.
She’s no longer part of the family.”
