Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1428
Debra perked up. "You can't take back a gift. Wait and see. I'll find you."She rushed back to her room.Jordan was supervising the cleaning. "Hey, we just mopped the floor. Are you doing this on purpose?"Debra ignored him. Finding the gift was her top priority.Erica, who had been looking for Debra, came to the third floor. Debra was on the floor, using her phone's flashlight to look under the bed."What are you looking for?" Erica asked. "We have less than two hours before the guests arrive. Come on, let's get you ready.""An hour is enough," Debra replied. "I'm looking for the gift Andrew prepared for me.""What gift? You've got enough already.""Andrew said a girl's coming-of-age gift has to be special and luxurious.""But everything he gives you is luxurious.""Andrew said as long as I'm happy, he'll give me anything.""Damn rich people."Debra had searched every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of the gift.Erica helped but gave up quickly.Half an hour later

Erica pulled Debra out of the room. "Alright, my lady, it's time to get all dolled up. After today, you'll officially be an adult. Enjoy your last bit of childhood while you can."Debra had been looking forward to this day, but when it finally came, she felt a little melancholic.After this, she would become an adult, which meant no more being spoiled or throwing tantrums.Several big shots arrived for the party. Since the Frazier family's place wasn't as big as the Potter family's, they had decided to host the dinner at the Potter Mansion.The Potter Mansion had never been open to the public before, let alone hosting guests. It showed how much importance both families attached to Debra.A sleek car pulled up in front of the mansion. Jeffrey stepped out first and opened the car door for Claudia.In an aqua dress, the international film star grabbed everyone's attention as soon as she made her entrance.Jeffrey offered her his arm. Claudia smiled sweetly and linked her arm with h

Fermin looked away, his ears turning red. "You look better than before.""What do you mean by that?" Debra huffed."Keep your voice down.""No way.""I'm out of here."Jordan quickly left the room.Erica patted her shoulder. "Alright, it's about time. Let's head downstairs."Debra pouted but soon realized she had a bigger problem."I can't walk.""Huh? You've never worn heels before?"Debra shook her head. She had focused on her studies and had no time for high heels."What should I do?""Just don't run around like you're wearing sneakers, okay?"...Downstairs, Juan arrived right on time.Most of the important guests were already there, including his parents, who were chatting with Gael."Juan, come here," Claudia called, waving him over.She said, "This is my son, Juan, and this is Mr. Frazier, the CEO of the Frazier Group.""Nice to meet you, Mr. Fraizer," Juan said, shaking hands with him."Likewise," Gael replied, impressed. "I've heard things about you. Your fa

A spotlight shone down, and a flash of red caught Juan's eye.Debra's red dress was bold and eye-catching, but on her, it felt completely natural.Like any debutante, she looked a bit shy.Juan was captivated by her flawless features and refined temperament. She seemed to deserve every beautiful word in the world.An unexpected pang of pain struck his chest. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, like his heart was stolen."Thank you all for coming to my 18th birthday celebration. I've prepared a piano piece for everyone. I'm not great at the piano, but I hope you'll like it," Debra said shyly, casting her eyes downward.She walked over to the white piano and began playing a light, cheerful melody.The audience enjoyed the music. Only Juan kept staring at her, feeling increasingly sure he had seen her and had heard her music before. He just couldn't remember when.Erica murmured from a distance, "Hope she won't hit the wrong note. I supervised her practice all night.

Andrew gathered his thoughts and got dressed. He opened his bedroom door to find Jordan standing outside, looking concerned."Are you okay?""I'm fine."Andrew reached out to pat Jordan's head, but in the end, his hand landed on Jordan's shoulder."Let's get down."Jordan couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Andrew. Everything had been fine during the day, but now he seemed like a different person.In the banquet hall, Debra's high school friends were celebrating her birthday. After taking some group photos, Gael took her around to greet their family friends, proudly announcing that his beautiful daughter had come of age.Andrew watched with a gentle smile."Andrew." Debra spotted him from across the room, her eyes lighting up.Debra lifted the hem of her dress and trotted over.Erica saw her unsteady footsteps. "Hey, slow down,"When Debra reached Andrew's side, she was slightly out of breath."Do I look good today?""You look beautiful.""Why did you c

Randy started unpacking the bags, but Erica was unimpressed."It's Debra's coming-of-age ceremony, and you bring durian?""What's the matter? I've got some for her, too."Randy enthusiastically handed out durian cakes to everyone.Debra looked down at the box in her hand, unsure of what to say. She never imagined that on her coming-of-age day, she'd be gifted a durian cake. Randy glanced at his watch and said, "You guys enjoy yourselves. I've got something to do. I'll be going now.""Where are you going?" Erica protested."Marion is back from overseas. I'm going to pick him up," Randy explained.Debra froze at the mention of the name. "Marion?" "Yeah. You met him when you were little," Randy replied, puzzled."Marion is my cousin," Erica chimed in. "Your memory's really poor."Debra felt like the world around her went quiet for a moment. The name sounded so familiar. He seemed to be someone important to her. She just couldn't remember."Debra, why are you spacing out th

"Aren't they the same thing?" Debra mused. "Anyway, I want to be with him every day. I don't want him to marry anyone else."Juan smiled in response. As the dance ended, he politely stepped back."Wish you a happy engagement.""Thank you, Mr. Nichols."Debra looked around and quickly spotted Andrew, as she always did.She smiled at Juan and said, "Nice talking to you. Come visit anytime. See you around.""Sure thing." He watched her leave, suddenly feeling the trip had been worthwhile after all."Andrew," Debra called out, running toward him.Suddenly, a maid bumped into her, spilling wine all over Debra's dress. The shattered glass cut her shoulder."Ouch," Debra gasped in pain.A distant voice echoed in her ears, faint and unreal. 'Debra, Andrew, wake up!""Ms. Frazier, are you alright?" the maid stammered, frightened. "Let me help you upstairs.""Wait." Debra grabbed her arm. "Did you hear something just now?""What?" The maid was confused."Any shouting? No?""Ms. Fr

Debra looked at her shoulder and smiled, "It's just a small cut. Doesn't hurt at all.""I wasn't talking about that," Andrew said.Debra was confused.Opening the bathroom door, he added, "Come on, I'll take care of the wound."A maid brought in a first aid kit, and Andrew gestured for Debra to sit on the sofa. He crouched down and carefully placed a band-aid on her injury.His movements were slow, deliberate, and cautious.Debra felt uneasy. "Andrew, what's wrong?"Andrew paused, and she added, "Normally, if I get a little scratch, you just laugh and call me clumsy. But today...""Silly girl." Andrew brushed her nose with his fingers. "It's your coming-of-age day. I don't want to see you hurt.""Just like that?""Just like that.""I don't know, but you're acting strangely today."Debra couldn't put her finger on it, but something felt different."Are you happy today?" Andrew suddenly asked."Yeah." Debra threw herself into Andrew's arms, her face lighting up with a sweet

Everyone nodded at Marion's call. They split tasks fast.Randy drove Erica toward the Osborne Mansion, speeding through the dark.When they parked, he didn't budge from the driver's seat."Don't stress. I'm here with you," Erica said, squeezing his hand.She knew what ate at him. If Enoch was really the Illuminati's head, it would spark a war. His relationship with Enoch would be unmendable."I never saw this coming," Randy said, his face shadowed with a rare gloom.He had always known Enoch didn't care about him, Yvette, or their family.In fact, he had never known much about Enoch. Without Theda's hunch today, he'd never have linked Enoch to the Illuminati."If Enoch is tied to them, what will you do?" Erica asked, watching him closely.She knew that blood was thicker than water."I don't know." Randy shook his head.Being the heir to the Osborne family never mattered to him, but he could not deny his bloodline.If it came to picking sides, he didn't know if he'd back Mar

His teacher had been worried about that.Randy had racked his brain, wondering what a dad should be like. He'd wanted to roughhouse like other kids, only to receive cold stares.His mother always brushed it off, telling him not to chase fatherly love."Randy?" Erica's voice yanked him back."Huh?" He blinked, seeing everyone's concerned stares."I called you a dozen times. Why were you zoning out?" Erica frowned.Randy grinned weakly. "Well, Theda's got a point. Now I'm kind of suspecting him too.""She left a minute ago," Erica pointed out, squinting at him."I'm not covering for my dad," Randy said. "She made sense. Maybe I'll swing at home. If he's the Illuminati's head, he will be in the valley.""You were absent-minded while we hashed out the plan. Now you're playing seriously?" Erica teased. "We're not pointing fingers at your dad, just saying Theda's theory holds water. If you want to check, I'll go with you. We'll watch each other's backs."She didn't say it out loud,

Theda added, "When Jeffery ditched the Nichols family, even with his smarts, he couldn't build up enough money and power to challenge the four families that fast. Someone had his back. He once told me not to judge a book by its cover. You never know who's laughing last."Her cryptic words left them puzzled.Debra asked, "So, who do you suspect?""I'd say Enoch Osborne," Theda replied.The name dropped like a bomb. Everyone froze and then swung their eyes to Randy.Randy gaped. "My dad? No way. He's a stiff old fart, decent at business but the weakest of the four families. Calling him lazy is generous. He's a stubborn rock. How could he be the head of the Illuminati?""Don't sell your old man short," Theda said. "The last generation of the four families got hit hard. But your family? Only your mother lost it. Your father has played it safe, staying low-key and outlasting them all. I bet he's the one Jeffery meant."She shrugged. "Could be wrong. But if it's him, you're in deeper

It wasn't that Debra's crew was weak, but the Illuminati was too strong.The room fell silent.Theda continued, "Everyone here is riding your call. You know what happens when you throw pebbles at a tank, right?""I'm not backing off. We've got our reasons," Debra replied."I'm not here to talk you out of it," Theda said. "I'm saying if you need me, I'm in."Everyone blinked, caught off guard. She smiled, "What? Surprised I'd join? Or wondering why? Forget Robert's ties to you. You've already done me solids in Seamar City. I can't pay you back much, but I can pitch in here.""How do you plan to help?" Erica asked."Inside job. Boosts our odds," Theda replied. "I worked with Jeffery before. Being a Buchan, he cut me slack. With his Illuminati ties, they might trust me too. Need a message slipped in or intel dug out? I've got you.""You don't have to..." Debra started."No convincing me otherwise," Theda cut in. "It's not just for you. Juan's blood to me. Call it a favor he owes.

"No biggie. I'm just that sharp," Randy grinned."Don't flatter yourself." Erica smacked his arm, turning to Debra. "If that's the play, we'll set up around the valley early.""We scoped it out last time. Here's the terrain map Marion roughed out. Memorize the basics, just in case," Debra said.Jordan spoke up. "I'll plant people inside to learn the lay. If things go down, we'll back each other up."He paused, frowning. "But we've only got one path. Without the full picture, it's still risky.""Got it here," a voice called from the door.Everyone turned to see Theda walking in with Robert. A map was in her hand."It's you guys." Debra was surprised.Theda had been busy with her business. She barely had time to breathe, not to mention show up there."This mess is huge. If the Illuminati takes Seamar City, my business is done," Theda said.She'd seen Jeffery's crazy side. The Illuminati couldn't be anything good.She unrolled the map and stuck it on the board. "This is the val

Liza eased up, knowing Debra was always faithful.She would help if she said so."Is the Illuminati really that bad?" Liza asked, having never seen Fermin cornered like that."Yeah," Debra said flat-out.Liza fought back her tears. "I'm not as smart as you guys, but if I can help...""You've done plenty," Debra said, patting her head.The once-bratty lady had grown into someone brave and kind. They'd all seen her change.But this was too risky. They couldn't bet on her life."Everything's set," Marion said, striding in with Jordan.Liza blinked at their suits. They looked solemn, as if ready for a last stand.Debra nodded. "Alright, let's go over everyone's setup and run through the plan."Randy wheeled in a blackboard that showed the outskirts map.The Four Great Families had owned Seamar City for ages. Their eyes and ears were on every corner.They'd linked up north, south, east, and west, with Juan's lines tied in.According to intel, the Illuminati hadn't sunk deep ro

"Just listen to me and go," Fermin said, pulling his hand free.The next thing she knew, he yanked her toward the emergency exit."Fermin!" she yelped.The restaurant staff, loyal to Fermin, hustled her into the stairwell. By the time the guards outside caught on, she was gone."Get her," the guards barked.If Liza slipped away, Michael would have their heads. But before they could chase, Fermin's crew boxed them in."You know what this means?" one guard spat, dropping all politeness.They knew he was just a puppet. If he broke free, Bert's life would be done."Kill them," Fermin ordered, turning back to the restaurant.A waiter dropped a tray, the crash drowning out muffled screams from the stairwell.Liza was already in a cab. She tried to turn back, but a staffer blocked her. "Miss, you can't go anywhere but Seamar City. The Potter Mansion is your safest bet. Think of what Mr. Eaton's doing for you."Her stay overseas made her a hostage. While she was here, Fermin was lea

The driver hesitated but complied. "Sure, Mr. Eaton. How long do you plan to stay? There's a meeting this afternoon.""An hour," Fermin replied.From their conversation, Liza caught on that their family was under the Illuminati's thumb. The driver would not grill Fermin about his schedule otherwise."Who're you to butt in? He'll hang out with me for as long as he wants," she snapped.The driver bit back his gripes. "My bad. Sorry."Liza clung to Fermin's arm, heart pounding. She had been pampered her whole life, and her family had always been untouchable. She never imagined they'd be under someone else's boot.The car stopped by the mall. Liza and Fermin got out.When the guards tried to follow, she whirled. "My brother and I are going shopping. What're you tagging along for?""Protecting you and Mr. Eaton," one said.She opened her mouth to argue, but Fermin cut in. "They can carry bags for you."She hesitated. With these guards tagging along, they couldn't talk about the si

"Dad." Liza rushed to the bed, grabbing Bert's hand.In her mind, Bert was a stern old grump. He was always tough and sharp.But now, the illness had taken a toll on him. He had shrunk, and his hair had gone gray overnight.Fermin stood behind her, watching with pain.In fact, Bert had been ill for a while now. He had been grooming Fermin for years.But once he'd caught wind of Fermin's plans, Bert would rather kill him and trash their legacy than let him join the Illuminati.Fermin knew this day was coming. Liza didn't. Bert never wanted her to.She froze, feeling like his hand had twitched. She stopped crying and spun to Fermin."Did you see it? Dad moved..." she exclaimed.Fermin clapped a hand over her mouth, a move that confused her.He shook his head, warning her off. She nodded fast, signaling she'd keep quiet.Fermin checked the door and eased his hand off. "Dad's fine. Let's head home, alright?"Liza glanced at Bert with reluctance but wiped her tears. "Okay.""Co
