When Debra opened her eyes again, everything around her was blurry.She could just barely make out a figure running toward her."Call an ambulance!""Get Andrew and Debra apart. Stretchers!"The voices around her started to fade. Soon, Debra found herself in a warm embrace. The faint scent of tobacco on his clothes made her feel an unexpected sense of peace.She whispered, "Today, I realized that if I weren't me, I'd never see you again."Marion held her even tighter. "You're going to be fine. I won't let anything happen to you."Debra could feel his nervousness and fear. She muttered weakly, "I'll be fine."Marion rushed outside to the stretcher and carefully placed her onto it.It was almost dusk. The sunset was beautiful. This was the end of it.Debra's breathing became more erratic. William urgently treated her."She's lost too much blood. Get the A-type blood immediately," he shouted into the phone.Debra drifted into unconsciousness, but Marion's voice seemed to linge

Debra woke up after a full day of unconsciousness following her surgery.She saw Marion lying by her side. She tried to sit up but couldn't move due to the pain in her shoulder.Marion felt her stir and quickly opened his eyes.Seeing Debra awake, he broke into a big smile. "How are you feeling? I'll get the doctor."Debra shook her head gently. "I'm fine.""The anesthesia should have worn off by now. Are you in pain?""I'm not.""I'll get you some water."Debra grabbed his hand. "I'm not thirsty.""Okay, I'll stay here with you." He sat back down beside her.Debra asked, "What about Andrew and the others? How are they?"Marion's eyes dimmed. Before he could reply, Randy and Erica rushed into the room."Debra, how are you feeling? Are you okay? Marion wouldn't let me see you," Erica said anxiously."I'm fine. Don't worry.""How can I not worry? This was so dangerous. If we hadn't gotten there in time, who knows what would have happened?"Randy chimed in, "Yeah, Marion wa

"Debra, actually..." Erica started.Jordan said, "Andrew left. He said he's been leading the family long enough. This time, he wanted to leave."After a brief silence, Debra asked, "Did he say where he was going?""No. Maybe somewhere overseas or a small town, living an idyllic life.""Anywhere but Seamar City.""Right."Debra understood what was going on. With the dust settling, Andrew could leave with peace of mind.She just didn't get why he had left without saying goodbye."I have so many things I wanted to ask him," she murmured.She remembered everything from her dream so vividly, as if it had truly happened. She wanted to ask Andrew about their past relationship.Her eyes dimmed as she looked down at the crest in her hand.Jordan wanted to comfort her, but in the end, he shrugged. "It's not like you'll never see him again. He just wants some time alone to rest. Who knows? Maybe he'll be back soon."Debra was a little relieved.That was right. Though the world was bi
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1440
Marion still remembered that two years ago, when he first arrived in Seamar City, Andrew had handed him an invitation. It was at that auction that he first met Debra.Back then, everything felt like destiny. Now he realized it was all part of Andrew's plan.He also remembered how Andrew sent him to an auction overseas to get back his mother's belongings. At that auction, he saw an identical sapphire ring to the one his mother used to wear.He bought it, unaware it belonged to the Frazier family. Andrew had placed it there for him to acquire.Andrew was truly a master strategist. He must have known from the beginning that the Houston family's ring had been in Jeffrey's hands all along. Sending him to the auction was just a way to return the ring to Debra.For a moment, Marion wasn't sure whether to feel angry or grateful. Without those arrangements, he might not have met the love of his life."Marion? Why are you standing at the door?" Debra called out.Marion snapped out of his

Debra pointed at the documents on the desk, the floor, and the sofa."All of them?""Exactly."Ben was smiling, but Debra felt chilling. "How can there be so many reports in just a few months?"Erica and Randy walked in, both carrying stacks of files.Randy said, "You're optimistic. There's more coming."Erica dropped the last stack of files on the floor. "Can't we hire more staff? Are we short on cash? Why are the shareholders moving stuff around?"Jordan, Drake, and Kale brought over more documents.Drake grumbled, "I'm not a shareholder here. Why should I help you move things?"Randy clapped him on the shoulder. "We're short on hands right now. You know, Jeffrey poached most of our employees, and now we can't handle the workload. Besides, Debra promised to help you reform the Lowe Group, didn't she? Compared to that, this is easy work."Drake frowned. "Hands off me."Kale stepped in and removed Randy's hand from Drake's shoulder.Looking at the endless piles of documents
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1442
"No way," Randy refused."Me neither," Erica echoed.They'd helped Debra and Marion before. They knew how painful it was to do paperwork. Doing it again was no different from killing them.Drake stepped forward. "Let's pitch in. It's not that much work anyway.""Not much?" Randy nearly choked.The room was drowning in paperwork. Finishing it would take forever.Drake rolled up his sleeves and gestured to Kale. "You handle that side. I'll take this one.""Yes, Boss."Randy gaped, "Are you serious?"Jordan circled a small section of documents. "I'll take these."Before Debra could feel relieved, Drake added, "My time's valuable. Pay me by the minute."Jordan chuckled, "I'll work for free, but I want a ten-year partnership with the McKinney Group."Randy and Erica jumped out, seeing an opportunity."I want five million dollars," Randy said."I want the full collection of the latest limited-edition bag," Erica echoed.Debra flashed them a strained smile. "We're fully staffed

Drake knew Oscar and Chace, but he didn't know much about Michael.Michael sensed his gaze and smiled courteously. It made Drake feel like punching a pillow."I heard about the chaos and came to help," Oscar spoke up, looking around the room. "Looks like you guys are swamped."Chace chimed in, "Mr. Harper has honed his skills in handling paperwork. If you don't mind, Mrs. Houston, we're glad to join in and get these done by the end of the day.""Thanks, I appreciate it." Debra expressed her gratitude."I'm on vacation and can help too," Michael offered.Debra gave his arm a light tap. "Thanks, big movie star."Michael laughed, "Come on, we're buddies."Drake's frown deepened. 'Buddies?'He cleared his throat, trying to get attention, but Debra didn't seem to hear him.She turned to Oscar and said, "By the way, Oscar, there's something I want to discuss. Can you step out with me?""Sure." Oscar followed her out.Michael walked over to Drake and extended a hand. "Mr. Lowe, I'

Kale didn't quite catch what Drake said."Boss, what were you saying?" he asked."Pretty boy," Michael said from not far away.Kale understood the situation and knew better than to say anything.Drake hissed, "Don't speak when I'm working.""Yes, Boss." Kale bent back down to his paperwork.Outside, Debra spoke. "We've got Edgar under control. Go see him if you want."She handed him a key with an address tag. Oscar stared at the key, silent.Since childhood, his mother had fantasized about his father taking them back to Flesta. She had broomed him to be the heir to the Odom family and drilled into him that he was born with noble blood, destined to inherit his father's fortune.Even at the cost of selling blood and taking loans, she sent him to elite schools to cultivate his manners.Before Debra appeared, Oscar thought he'd spend his life repaying crushing debt. He never imagined he'd become the head of the Odom family.He handed the key back. "There is no need to see him."

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
