Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1488
Late at night, Andrew sat in the study of his house overseas.From the courtyard came the sound of soft rustling noises.About ten minutes later, Barton returned to the room and reported, "Sir, everything's been taken care of.""Good work on them. They went through all that trouble just to find this place, and in the end, they came up empty," Andrew said casually, "Send them back and show them that no one gets into the Potter Mansion and this house as well.""Understood." Barton quickly left.Several corpses were scattered about in the courtyard.At his signal, some hidden guards revealed themselves and dragged the bodies away.In no time, the courtyard was cleaned up, leaving no sign of anything.Andrew looked thoughtfully at a phoenix emblem on his desk.After a while, Barton returned and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Houston are overseas right now. They don't seem to plan on going back anytime soon. What if..." Andrew brushed it off. "I never told anyone about this place. They won

The members of the special group had their whole lives tied to the Potter family, just like private assassins.At a place like that, Fermin couldn't afford to be careless."Here I am," he announced. "No one is coming to welcome me?"His voice echoed through the hall, but there was no response.Suddenly, the elevator light ahead flickered on. He walked over, and the doors slid open.He stepped in, and it took him to the second floor, which looked like a maze, with the hallways pitch black.As he took a step forward, lights along the left corridor blinked on. He walked down it and saw an open door at the end.Inside, Andrew sat behind a desk, with a faint smile on his face."Mr. Eaton, nice to meet you. I hope you're satisfied with the gift I sent you," he greeted.Fermin threw a badge onto the desk. "What's this supposed to mean?"The badge belonged to the Illuminati. The sun on it symbolized light.Andrew leaned back. "This is an Illuminati badge that was lost on the mountai
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1490
Andrew picked up the badge from the table and pressed it until there was a sharp metallic sound.He removed a tiny chip from inside the badge and said, "Your information is hidden in this badge. This chip proves your membership. You lost it five years ago, and I found it. What about this proof?""You know?" Fermin's voice was wary now.If he had once thought Andrew was just trying to make a show of things, now he had to reassess the situation.He wondered if Andrew was speaking the truth. If it was true, Andrew was a formidable foe.Finding something long lost like that was almost impossible.Fermin realized that those rumors about Andrew's capability were true after all. He was the most outstanding leader the Potter family had ever had."Since you already know, what is this meeting for?" Fermin asked, unable to figure out Andrew's intentions. "You want core information on the Illuminati?"Andrew chuckled, "Not really. I just promised your father I'd send you and Liza back. Now
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1491
Andrew's smile grew even wider. "There is always a price to pay."Barton raised his knife high and drove it straight toward Liza's shoulder. Just before the blade could sink in, Fermin shouted, "Okay, I agree."Andrew poured himself a cup of tea. "Honestly, whether you agreed or not, I was going to send you home. Now we still have a score to settle. Shall we?"He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.Fermin understood the implication. Without hesitation, he lifted his knife and stabbed it into his shoulder.Liza cried out in shock, "Fermin!""I saw your sincerity, Mr. Eaton. Apology accepted," Andrew chuckled, turning to Barton. "Stop scaring Miss Eaton and have Mr. Eaton escorted home. Then we'll release her.""Yes, sir." Barton nodded.Before this, Liza had always thought Andrew was just a sickly man, smart but not dangerous.Now she knew how wrong she had been. He barely moved from his chair, yet he had them completely at his mercy.For the first time, she was awed. Fermin
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1492
To Liza, this seemed like a trivial question.She couldn't quite understand why Andrew wasn't asking more important questions, like who Fermin had met recently, if he had been in contact with the Illuminati, and what he had been plotting."That's my only question," he said. "Answer it, and you're free to go."Andrew still wore his gentle smile, giving an illusion that he wasn't the one who had threatened her earlier.Liza replied, "I didn't go anywhere. He had me stay at a house in the city and barely went out himself. After that event, he took me back overseas. We just didn't go home.""Tell me where the house is, and you can leave," Andrew said, having his phone passed to her.Liza could only write down the address. She said, "It was probably bought by Fermin later on. I don't know the exact location, but I do know it's in this direction. It's at the end of this street on the left, with a pond in the yard."Andrew heard her out without interrupting. "Thank you for the informat

Marion spoke. "We prefer not to be disturbed. Have the staff leave the estate for the next few days.""Understood." The butler nodded.Debra didn't know Marion owned such a large estate overseas."This place looks like it's been around for a while. When did you buy it?""I didn't buy it. This estate used to belong to the Bernard family.""So, it was owned by Cathryn, right?""She mortgaged it to Conrad, and after the Jovial Hotel incident, it was transferred to Drake."He pulled out a set of keys. "Drake gave these to me, saying he replaced everyone here with people he trusts. We'll stay for a while. Maybe we can dig up something useful."Debra looked around the estate. "You used to live here, right?""Yes." Marion nodded and added as Debra inspected the building. "Shawn had a lot of influence overseas. Even now, some old associates are still loyal to him. I cleared out most of the opponents, but some diehards are still out there. Compared to my house, this place is safer.""
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1494
Marion led Debra to the innermost room on the left. When the door opened, he quickly stepped in front of her to block the dust from the doorframe.It took a while before she could see what was inside.The place was cramped, covering no more than ten square meters. Three sets of bunk beds stood on the sides, their frames already rusted. In the middle was a simple frame holding a copper basin. There was nothing else.Marion had understated it when he called the room shabby."There's nothing much to see here. It's dirty. Let's go," he said, pulling at her arm.But Debra was intrigued. "Which was your bed?""This one." Marion pointed to the bottom bunk in the far corner."So, this is the room you, Robert, and Drake share?""Yeah.""What about the other three beds?""We were the last batch, so it's just the three of us.""You worked as Shawn's bodyguards?""Yeah."Debra walked over to the bed Marion had used. It was still neat, though the room was heavy with the smell of old, s

Jeffery had wanted to reset everything and create a perfect, happy world.But there was no guarantee everyone would be happy. If those unhappy ones wanted to start over, then the world would be in an endless cycle.Human desire had no limits. Once someone got one thing, they'd want more.Debra shook her head. "I was just talking nonsense. We can't reset the world.""Yeah." Marion nodded. "Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me.""Me too," Debra smiled....Late at night, Debra was fast asleep.Marion looked at her for a while before quietly getting dressed and heading downstairs.His men had been waiting in the courtyard. As soon as he stepped out, one of them approached."Sir, we've checked everything. Over the past month, Mr. Lowe didn't go anywhere. He picked up a package in Orkgate and went straight back to Seamar City. No solo meetings with anyone.""Got it."He knew Drake couldn't pull something like this off. That package had to have come from Andrew

"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,"
