Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1439
"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

"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."

Oscar shrugged. "Maybe you should check how much you've got on your plate."Theda and Robert didn't realize what was going on until they opened the door to Debra's office.Debra rubbed her temples. "How about midnight? We can grab a late-night snack.""Eight is fine," Theda smirked. "You guys might be great at a lot of things, but when it comes to getting work done, none of you can match me.""Perfect. I'll make a call. Dinner at eight it is," Debra cheered, dialing Marion's number.He picked up in a second. His voice was as gentle as always but tinged with exhaustion."Do you need me over there?""Yes, but it's not about work."Randy and Erica sensed trouble, trying to sneak away.Debra grabbed them both. "Where are you going? Five million dollars? A full set of limited-edition bags? I'll cover it."Randy cheered, "Wonderful! Why didn't you say so earlier?"Erica echoed, "Exactly. If we knew there were perks, we would've been done already."Without hesitation, the two of t

A swarm of black-clad men followed Marion into the office. Many of them looked like they'd been specially brought in from overseas."Holy crap! Marion's pulling out the big guns," Randy gasped.A few men in suits and ties walked in. "Madam, Mr. Houston sent us to help handle all kinds of affairs."Marion appeared soon after. "Let them handle the work. They're professionals hired from overseas. Some projects can't wait. We'll handle the important ones ourselves, and they'll take care of the rest.""If only you had told us earlier. We wouldn't have been sweating bullets for an hour," Randy said.Drake snapped his file shut and stood up. "Let's go, Kale."Debra called out, "We've got dinner tonight. Where are you going?""I've got a new house. Need to grab my stuff from the Potter Mansion," he replied.The room fell silent.During the month Debra spent recovering in the hospital, no one brought up the Potter family.Even though Debra hadn't said anything, everyone could tell she

"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

Drake's mouth hung open, but no words came out."I swapped the drug for saline," Juan said. "You're on your own tonight. You've only had one dose, so there might still be a chance. If you don't wanna die here, suck it up. Don't let Kale die for nothing."Juan dropped that and left the room.Drake slumped on the bed. Old memories came flooding back, from their first meeting to their camaraderie. They had been through thick and thin together.If it hadn't been for him, Kale wouldn't have been dead....In the hospital, Liza kept watch outside the ICU where Bert lay.Two black-suited guards blocked the door. Even after surgery, they wouldn't let her in."When can I see him?" she asked, clenching her fists.The guards stood like statues, ignoring her."That's my dad," she shouted, pounding their chests. "I need to be with him. Move. Get out of my way.""Stop it." Fermin strode up, grabbing her swinging fist. "You're an Eaton. Act like it."He turned and slapped a guard hard. "Y

Juan arrived at a villa on Seamar City's outskirts. It was where Drake was locked up.It was pitch black in the room, with only a bed. The windows were nailed shut.The moment Drake handed over the stone, he'd guessed his fate. The Illuminati had rules for traitors: the blessing ritual.But that "blessing" was just injecting their latest drug into turncoats. They would be used as free guinea pigs. Death was the best outcome. Surviving meant real torture.It didn't hurt. Rather, it felt like heaven. That was why they called it a blessing."When did they shoot you up with that stuff?" Juan asked.Drake leaned back on the bed, nonchalant. "I gave them the stone. It doesn't matter to you. Just give me the drug."By night, he was a mess.The stuff could ease the pain for an hour. Then hell would kick in. Once the cravings hit, it felt like ants gnawing his bones.The pain wired into his nerves. At its worst, he'd bash the wall, tempted to bite his tongue off.He couldn't leave wit

To the bishop, Debra and her crew were small fry.A hundred years ago, the Four Great Families might've been untouchable. But now? Their roots were shaky.The Illuminati, on the other hand, had grown unstoppable.For the stone, he'd see them and let them feel the Illuminati's might. It was something callows like them couldn't touch."Tell them I pick the time and place," he said. "Get the stone ready. If it's fake, they'll get the harshest punishment from God.""Yes, Master," Michael replied, turning to leave.Lara stood up to protest, "I'm against this. We should take the chance to wipe them out and take their assets."In her mind, the four families were nothing. When they could snatch what they wanted, there was no need for deals or games."God spares all," the bishop muttered. "I'll give them a shot to live. If they bow, why kill them?"Lara fell silent, but Frederic stepped out of the shadows. He asked, "What about the stone Drake gave us?""Only one of the two stones is

Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

"What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"
