Chapter 333
Andrew possessed an icy demeanor that kept others at arm's length. Even when he smiled, his eyes. remained cold and piercing.
Debra had heard tales of Andrew's cunning and ruthless methods in both her past and present lives. If not for his tragically short lifespan, he might have already seized control of Seamar City, leaving no room for the likes of Juan.
"Ms. Frazier," Andrew said suddenly, his voice calm yet laced with an unmistakable warning. "I advise you to reconsider your current course of action."
Debra shifted uncomfortably in her seat. She barely knew Andrew, having only encountered him a handful of times. She didn't know why he suddenly invited her there and said those things to her.
"Mr. Potter," she replied, feigning ignorance. "I don't understand what you mean."
She attempted to hold his gaze but found herself quickly looking away, her heart pounding in her chest.
"The Nichols family may appear weakened, but their century-old foundation remains strong. They have countless potential partners eager to cooperate with them. Even if they face setbacks, they have the power to recover. The Frazier family, on the other hand, Andrew paused, his voice taking on a grave tone, "even with the McKinney Group's rising influence, it poses only a temporary threat. In the long run, it can't affect anything."
Debra was surprised that Andrew knew she controlled the McKinney Group. Only a select few were aware, of her identity as Tracy. Not even Juan knew,

seemed to have uncovered her secret.
She wondered if Marion had told him about this.
Attempting to deflect, she said, "The Nichols family is powerful. Why would I even consider challenging them? You must be mistaken."
Andrew remained silent, his gaze unwavering. Debra felt the weight of his scrutiny, the intensity making it difficult for her to breathe.
Realizing she couldn't keep up the pretense, she relented. "Even if I had such thoughts, I wouldn't act recklessly. I know my limits. Thank you for your concern."
Only then did Andrew look away, seemingly satisfied with her response. "Did you know Jordan joined the army because of you?"
Debra's eyes widened in surprise. "Joined the army? Jordan?"
This revelation was completely at odds with the Jordan she knew from her past life. Why would Andrew attribute such a drastic decision to my influence?'
Andrew continued, "Jordan has always been intelligent, though he often hid behind a playboy persona. With me around, he felt no need to exert himself. But the incident of you being taken away at his birthday. party changed something within him. He decided to focus on cultivating his inner strength and willpower.
Andrew's gaze softened as he looked at Debra. "Although your influence was indirect, you've done the
Potter family great service. After all.
He trailed off, leaving the thought unfinished.
Debra understood the implication. Given the trajectory of her past life, Andrew's health had deteriorated rapidly within three years, the stress of managing the Potter family taking a severe toll.
It was only after Andrew's illness that Jordan stepped up, developing the resolve to take over the family business.
But with her rebirth, the trajectory of their lives had shifted, altering the course of events in unpredictable
ways.
