ผู้เขียน: Cozy Season
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 1957

    I used to think the adults were just hyping up their glory days.They made the Illuminati sound like this big, scary force. But after meeting Stanley, I figured the Illuminati was overrated.Solomon noticed people staring at us. Some were reading newspapers, and others sipping coffee or chatting. Their behavior was creepy, and their gazes were sharp.Solomon sensed the tension, suspecting that they were onto us."Run!" he yelled, grabbing my arm.Before I could react, he dragged me away. Those "normal" customers immediately dropped their props and chased us."Why are they after us?" I shouted."What do you think? We were lurking outside their company," Randy replied."Lurking? We just stayed there for a minute."I didn't expect the situation to be so tense. Any hint of trouble set them off."Stop!" A man around 30 blocked our path.His gear was something I couldn't be more familiar with. He must be on my dad's crew.Solomon shot me a look, signaling we'd have to fight our w

    "Where did they live back then? Same place?" I muttered, curious.Solomon mused, "My folks said the four families' old estates never changed. Should be the same.""Then what are we waiting for? Let's go.""How? You know the way?"My excitement fizzled because I was totally lost.The future Seamar City was all skyscrapers and tech. This one? Still tall buildings, but the streets were different. Only a few old structures looked familiar."Now what? Uber? This era has got Uber, right?" I said."With what?" Randy asked."If this is a dream, can't we control it with our minds?""You mean, lucid dreaming?""Yeah, why not?""Worth a shot, but it might be risky."Controlling dreams was tricky, especially in this weird shared one.We tried standing still, focusing, but nothing happened. Lucid dreaming didn't work here.I gave up. "Let's just walk. We'll find it."We trekked along, following fuzzy memories. Luckily, we were downtown.We didn't find our homes, but we spotted the M

    That night, Jordan got plastered.Solomon and I swiped a strange bottle of potion from him.Back home, we debated how to use it. I figured we should drink it. Solomon thought it was too sketchy and might be just a scented oil.We argued, neither budging. So, we settled it with rock-paper-scissors.No surprise, I won. Solomon had to go along.We each took a swig. It tasted weird but not awful."Feel anything?" I asked."Nope. You?" he said."Nothing," I replied.He shook his head. "Told you we should've used it as aromatherapy."Then, sleepiness hit hard.Before passing out, I muttered, "Damn it! Nobody said this was a sleeping pill."My head hit the pillow, and I had a bizarre dream.It was Seamar City 20 years ago. The city was bustling, but the buildings felt retro.Weirdly, Solomon was there with me."Are we dreaming?" I asked, marveling at the scene.He frowned. "Why am I dreaming with you? This is freaky.""Who cares? This place is cool," I said, amazed by the eff

    I wasn't big on talking, especially about the past.Three people shaped my life: Marion, Drake, and Theda. The first two gave me a second chance at life. Theda gave me a new one.At first, I stuck with Theda to survive. I played on her soft side, securing a spot in the countryside to heal.Those tough days showed me how much grit it took for her to keep me around. But she wasn't one to whine about hardships.Theda was cold and calculating. She was a natural-born capitalist.Her motto? Suffer to rise. If she got wet, she'd tear everyone else's umbrella.She didn't care about others' pain. It wasn't her problem.She saved me not out of pity, but because I was a useful labor.Later, I learned she lied.She didn't want kids because she feared pain. I thought it was fine, even imagining that men could conceive, since my only perks were taking pain and being tough.We didn't marry at first because I had no ID.I'd wandered overseas as a kid and remained nameless in Wrastow City.

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1953

    Andrew hit all the marks: charming, smart, tragic, and scheming.But I knew he was out of my league. My crush was a fleeting thrill.I was one of the few who knew he liked Debra. Andrew kept his cards close, never spilling his true thoughts.I figured it out because he took my crush seriously and, to shut it down, hinted he had someone he liked.At first, I didn't know who it was. But over time, I spotted clues.He bent over backward for one woman and handed nearly half the Potter family's wealth to her.If that was not love, what was?His affection was obvious, but Debra was oblivious.I guessed no one was denser than her when it came to romance.I wanted to march up and tell her, "Hey, a guy is head over heels for you, and his name is Andrew Potter."But reason stopped me.Knowing Andrew, he'd probably have me taken out the second I spilled. For my safety, I bit my tongue, though it killed me to stay quiet.To be honest, I didn't hate Jeffrey that much.Sure, he was rott

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1952

    I thought Robert would bring me nothing but trouble.That night, he bathed, and I shaved his beard, braving for a scruffy beggar.But as his face came into view, I realized I'd misjudged. He was handsome, way better than a clean-shaven Crusoe.Janna, a tough woman in her fifties, softened when she saw Robert's face.He could stay, but he had to work shirtless in the fields.I could practically hear Janna's scheming from a mile away. At her age, ogling a guy was no surprise.Robert woke up early and slept late. He stuck by me through the rough countryside days.He was quiet and gentle. He'd feed stray animals, even if it meant eating less himself.His one flaw? He bent too easily.If I seemed upset, he'd bow. If he thought he'd messed up, he'd bow.It took me six months to break that habit. The bowing stopped, but his deep-rooted servility lingered. He never talked about his past, and I never pressed him.Over time, I got used to him. He was like a guardian, always there.
