Chapter 1562

Author: Cozy Season
"I'm going to find out," Lara said, ready to walk over.

Debra stopped her just in time. "No need. Just stay put."

"But..." Lara hesitated.

Any wife couldn't just sit by and watch her husband flirt with another woman.

Marion continued to pay zero attention to Debra. They acted like strangers.

The guests around them seemed to be enjoying the drama, but Debra looked unfazed.

She continued to smile and greet everyone as if nothing was happening.

"That's Mrs. Houston, right? She's gorgeous." Lexie blinked. "Why don't you go greet her?"

She looked like a sweet, innocent girl, the kind that men loved to protect.

"Yes, she is beautiful," Marion replied curtly, clearly unwilling to talk about it.

Lexie grabbed his arm. "Did you two fight? I have an idea to help you make up. Want to give it a try?"

Before Marion could respond, Lexie pulled him toward the dance floor.

The guests whispered among themselves, surprised to see Marion so close to Lexie. Everyone knew he usually kept his di

    Lexie hurried over, looking anxious. "I thought you two were arguing, so I wanted to give Mr. Houston a chance to clear up any misunderstanding. I'm sorry. He didn't actually want to dance with me."The other guests looked outside, eager to witness a classic showdown between the two women.Debra, however, only gave a faint smile. "It's just a dance. What does it even mean?"Her indifference took Lexie by surprise and hurt Marion's feelings."But," Debra continued, "it's indeed improper for him to dance with another woman while we're still married."Marion tensed up. "What do you want me to do?"Debra raised an eyebrow. "What, you want to make up for it?""Yes." His response was firm."Then jump into that fountain," she said. "And don't get out unless I say so."It was winter in Orkgate, and the weather was brutally cold.Anyone who jumped into that fountain at this hour would end up catching a cold and falling ill.Lexie panicked. "That's too much, Mrs. Houston. You can't ju

    "Miss Trennery, please keep your distance from me. Don't do anything that might make my wife misunderstand," Marion said."Why? Why are you listening to her? It's wrong to always give in to her like this," Lexie countered, pointing at Debra. "This woman keeps saying you shouldn't be in touch with me, but everyone here knows better. She's been fooling around these past few days. She's not faithful to your marriage, and you should have divorced her."She stood on the high ground of morality, eager to expose Debra's hypocrisy.Debra only found it laughable. "That's right. We should get a divorce, but Marion doesn't agree. Try convincing him."Lexie quickly came over to help Marion out of the fountain. However, he didn't appreciate it and wouldn't even let her touch his clothes.Lexie was stunned that someone like Marion chose to be humiliated like that."Mr. Houston, I've always liked you," she confessed earnestly. "If you accept me, I'll do anything for you."Few men would turn do

    Grover was irritated by Debra's persistence.She had always been the type to push when she had the upper hand. Now he was between a rock and a hard place.He had assumed that the couple had gone their separate ways. Who would have thought Marion still had feelings for Debra, who spent her nights at clubs, flirting with strangers?"Alright, this is getting boring," Debra said. "Since Miss Trennery is so fond of Marion, you can have him to yourself. I'll be waiting for you to convince him to divorce me."Lara was surprised by how effortlessly she had silenced the father and daughter.Debra turned to leave, not sparing a glance at Marion, who was still kneeling in the fountain.The crowd was shocked by her dominance. She could fool around, but she wouldn't allow Marion to do the same.Lexie rushed forward to help Marion, but he refused to stand up.A security guard approached and said, "Mr. Houston? A lady who just left told me you could get up now."Only then did Marion slowly r

    Lara hoped to see a hint of pain or regret in Debra's eyes, but there was none."You're heartless," Lara said.Everyone knew how Marion had treated Debra. Their grand wedding remained to be the talk of town till this day.If it weren't for the recent news, they would still be seen as a perfect couple.Lara continued, "Can you really deny all his love just because of a medical report?"Debra shrugged. "He doesn't even know what love is. How can I believe he loves me when biology says otherwise?"She seemed tired and unwilling to discuss it further. "Forget about him. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."The car arrived at the Lowe Mansion. Debra got out and walked into the house.Only then did Lara tell the driver to head back.Debra looked at the familiar layout. The last time she was here, she was anxious, afraid she couldn't escape this place. Now she was a guest here.As she stood in silence, a shadow suddenly flashed past. A hand shot out and pulled her into th

    Debra had recently realized that Marion wasn't some mind reader. He had simply trained himself to read people's emotions.They had been apart for over a month now, and for the first time, Debra felt like she was just beginning to understand him."I didn't understand it at first," Marion admitted, lowering his gaze. "I was afraid you'd look down on me."Debra scoffed, "Oh, I do look down on you."His eyes dimmed, and she continued, "I look down on you for being silly enough not to tell me sooner. Do you think love is just some biological reaction? I don't care about all that. I just need to know that you care about me, that you'll whisper sweet things to me every day, that you'll always protect me, and that you'll never betray me or love someone else. That's all that matters."She paused and added, "Love isn't something science can define. It's a feeling and everything you do because of that feeling. I can see it and feel it. So, don't ever tell me you have an emotional disorder. T

    In Seamar City, Erica and Randy were glued to their phones, hoping to catch any news from Orkgate.They waited all day, but there was nothing."Seriously?" Erica complained. "Is this how you gather intel? Can you do it or not?"If only he were half as good as Marion or Jordan, they would have found out something by now."I'm doing my best," Randy explained. "But Orkgate is like a fortress. Even when Drake was there, Marion's people struggled to get info. I don't stand a chance."Erica was frustrated, but Randy suddenly had an idea."Why don't we just ask Drake?" he suggested. "He's the king of Orkgate. He'll know the city like the back of his hand.""Great idea, but can you even get into the Potter Mansion?" Erica pointed out.They had tried before, but the place was heavily guarded."I'm out of options," Randy admitted. "But I don't think Debra will be a sitting duck. Plus, Marion is there. Maybe they're working things out. You're worried about nothing.""I'm worried because

    "That's impossible. Debra would never do something like this. I know her." Erica stared at the news, her fingers turning ice-cold.She used to regard the whole thing as mere argument. But now, it had escalated into a full-blown marriage crisis."I'm going to the Potter Mansion to see her," Erica said, turning to leave.Randy quickly followed behind her.The two of them drove straight to the Potter Mansion, which was still on lockdown.When the security guards saw their car, one of them sighed and stepped forward."Miss Mathis, I've made it clear," he said. "Without Mr. Jordan Potter's approval, we can't let you in. Please don't make this harder for us.""I'm not making things hard for you," Erica replied. "I just want to talk to Jordan."The guard hesitated and finally relented. "Alright, please wait here. I'll report this to Mr. Jordan Potter. But if he refuses to see you, there's nothing I can do.""Thanks," she said. "He won't dare turn me down."Randy, who had been silent

    Late at night, someone knocked on the door to Marion's hotel room.He opened it to see a pale-faced, teary-eyed Lexie standing outside.He frowned, instinctively trying to shut the door. But Lexie quickly blocked it with her hand, not caring if it got slammed."Mr. Houston, I need to talk to you," she said urgently."We have nothing to talk about," Marion replied coldly.He went on to close the door, but Lexie blurted, "I truly admire you. Remember when you saved me before?"Marion narrowed his eyes, not recalling ever saving her."I've killed a lot of people and saved a lot more. Why would I remember you?" he said indifferently."It's okay if you don't remember me, but I remember you," Lexie insisted. "If it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago. My father owed a lot of money, and you let me go. I'm grateful to you. Everything I said tonight in front of Mrs. Houston was from the heart. I really like you. I've worked hard to stand before you today. I don't want you

    It was afternoon already.Debra and Marion parked their car outside the valley.Looking at the sprawling terrain ahead, Debra couldn't shake the memory of trekking through it with Kale just days ago.Revisiting this place made her shiver."Your injury's still fresh," Marion said. "I can go alone."Debra shook her head. "We agreed on going together. Besides, I'm not here to fight. It will be fine."Marion ruffled her hair. "Alright, we're in this together."Enoch brought Erica here to lure them in. That much was clear.Now that they were here, they'd get her out.With night closing in, they quickly followed the route they'd mapped out and headed in.The map from Juan came in handy. In less than 30 minutes, they reached a clearing smack in the middle of four towering mountains.Mist hung light in the air, and the jagged peaks all around gave off a heavy, oppressive vibe.Through the fog, figures in black cloaks and white masks stepped out.Debra slid behind Marion, their han

    Jordan signaled the guards at the door to stop Randy.But they didn't stand a chance. In three seconds flat, Randy laid them out.Jordan watched him vanish down the hall, dumbfounded. 'When did he get this good?'At the entrance, more guards tried to block Randy. He didn't slow down as he threw punches at them.Even with their number, they couldn't catch him.30 seconds later, Randy was in his car, peeling out toward the valley. Scenes from his childhood flashed across his mind."Leg up. Fist tight. Punch!" Caleb shouted.Erica eyed the wooden dummies in front of them and aimed for perfection.Randy's attention was all on her. He was not interested in these self-defense skills at all."Randy, focus!" Caleb whacked his arm with a cane. "Get real or go home."Randy couldn't care less. The truth was, he had already learned it all.At eight years old, his freakish athletic genes got him shipped off to a two-month boot camp. There, his raw talent made him untouchable in the junio

    Lara came downstairs, smirking at Michael. "This time, even if you want to let them off, it won't happen."Michael was unfazed. "Don't say stuff that'll get twisted. I never plan to do that.""Oh, please. I know you better than that," Lara snorted. "Drop the act."Growing up, Michael had been given the best of everything.They were both in line to take over, but Michael got the bishop's favor from day one.Even if he didn't fight for it, he'd eclipse her. The bishop's partiality never failed to rattle her.She was a woman. True. But she was not any inferior to Michael.The partiality was unbelievable. This world's full of women outshining men.She was the one to help the bishop build something huge. The altar was only for her to ascend.She stepped up to Michael. "Wanna bet on what happens when Debra and Marion hit the valley? I can't wait to see Debra getting pierced by bullets. It would be so much fun."She observed Michael's expression, but there wasn't a crack."You done

    The guard at the gate quickly stepped out of the booth. "Greetings, Mr. and Mrs. Houston. Unfortunately, Mr. Osborne isn't home.""We're not here for him," Marion said flat-out. "I want last night's security footage."The guard hesitated. "I'm sorry, but without Mr. Osborne saying so, I can't just hand it over.""Randy is lying in the hospital right now," Debra cut in. "Erica went missing from your place last night. If you don't cough up the tapes and something happens to her, can you take the heat?"The guard was shocked. "Mr. Randy Osborne in the hospital? And Miss Mathis is gone? I'll grab the footage. Hang on."He dashed to the security room. But when he pulled up the feed, the screen was pitch black."What's wrong? Is it busted?" Debra asked.The guard smacked the console a couple of times, and the picture flickered on. There was Enoch, stuffing a sack into his trunk and driving off.That explained why the cameras outside had only caught Enoch.Debra felt a chill run thro

    A loud crash blasted through the phone, followed by screeching static.Debra's gut sank. "Randy's in trouble. Let's hurry."Jordan quickly rounded up a crew to track down Randy, while Debra and Marion bolted out of the house.That phone call screamed car wreck. Marion had Randy's location pinned fast, and an ambulance was already on its way."Don't panic. The ambulance is almost there," Debra reminded him, watching him push the speedometer.It was fine if it was just a regular crash. But if the Illuminati had set it up, the consequences were unimaginable. Enoch must have lost his mind to target his son.Debra and Marion had both lost their parents to car accidents. Marion would be devastated if he lost another person close to him."Quick! Get him out!"Thick smoke poured from the crash site. Debra's bad vibes grew.They jumped out and saw Jordan's people loading Randy onto a stretcher."How bad is it?" Debra ran up, desperate for details."Not too serious," Jordan replied. "

    The maid froze. "Didn't Miss Mathis leave last night? I don't know where she is. But she's not here."A bad feeling hit Randy like a ton of bricks. He bolted out of the room and ran to the guest room next door. When he flung the door open, Erica wasn't there. The bed was pristine, with no sign of anyone sleeping in it.Erica was lazy as hell. There was no way she'd make the bed herself.Randy lost his head until what Theda had said suddenly echoed in his mind.If Enoch were the mastermind behind the Illuminati, he might have done something to Erica."Where's my dad?" Randy asked, his blood running cold.The maid had never seen him like this. He barked, "I'm asking you where my dad is."She stammered, "I called him last night like you asked. He came back for a bit and took off again."Now he confirmed that Enoch had taken Erica."Give me the phone.""Yes, sir."The maid handed it over.Randy dialed Enoch's number but could not get through.Sweat beaded on his forehead. The

    Erica laughed, getting the implication.Randy coughed dryly. "Mom, what are you even saying? I'm not that kind of person."With that, he hustled Erica out of the room.As the door closed, she frowned. "What now? Your dad is suspicious.""Well, we'll deal with it when he gets back. Now take a rest.""Alright."He led her to a clean guest room."Yvette seemed fine just now. Didn't look like she's got any mental issues.""It comes and goes. She can be normal and confused at times.""Has she seen a doctor?""Yeah. They say it's from some big shock. If she takes it easy, she's pretty much fine. Her nerves are just shot. My dad kept her locked up here all these years. Probably doesn't want folks to know he's got a crazy wife."In his mind, Enoch always put profit and reputation first.If people found out he had a nutcase for a wife, he might ditch her. Even if he didn't, he'd freeze them out.One question was always hovering in Randy's mind. If Yvette wasn't tied to the Potter f

    "Erica, let's head upstairs."Randy held Erica's hand as they walked up the stairs.The second floor was dead quiet, and the hallway lights were dim. At the far end was Yvette's bedroom.The door was wide open. Inside, Yvette sat at her vanity, brushing her hair.Nearing 50, she still looked good, though she'd let time take its toll. Her face was lined with wrinkles."Randy? You're back," she exclaimed, catching his reflection in the mirror.She turned around and saw him standing there, holding Erica's hand."Mom." Randy squeezed Erica's hand. "I brought Erica to see you."Yvette's eyes shifted to Erica, and she searched in her memories.After a while, she caught it. "Erica, I remember you. Randy always talked about you when he was a kid. I thought you two were just rivals or something."Yvette walked over to Erica and grabbed her hand. "Randy's a bit of a wild one, but he's great with girls. This is the first time he's brought a girl home. If you two are serious about each o

    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
