Chapter 16

Penulis: Cozy Season
Chapter 16

Debra was very serious.

But her words were partly true. The Frazier family wasn't what it used to be, which was why Juan grew colder toward her in her last life.

For Juan, their marriage was all about business. Once she lost her value, she meant nothing to him.

When the Frazier family went broke, Juan abandoned her.

"You're going to manage your family business? Is this a joke?" Randy started, but Marion's glare cut him off.

Randy quickly corrected himself, "It's not that I look down on you, but finance isn't your field. You haven't learned how to run a company. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It's hard for a young lady like you to convince those old guys."

"I know that," Debra replied.

"Then why do you..."

Marion's warning glance made him falter. "It's just unrealistic for you to run the Frazier Group."

"It's my grandfather's legacy. I must preserve it. Although I haven't formally studied, I have a plan."

"What plan?"

"I'll go to school."

"School?"

Okay but that’s not possible lol master at 17 would be like she graduated high school at the age of 13 or something on which case she would have showcased her value long ago!

    Drake's mood soured further.Debra peeked over. "What're you looking for?"He avoided her eyes. "Nothing.""Class is starting soon. Let's go," she suggested, walking ahead.Drake frowned. "I didn't say I was going to class.""Skipping at this school is a big deal," Debra said, dead serious. "If you don't wanna get kicked out, you better go.""Do you have to worry about everyone's problems?" he sulked. "Are you just going around and convincing everyone to love life?"She shook her head. "No one else around me would give up on life. They're all positive about the future.""Yeah, right," he sneered. "A rich girl like you only knows other rich kids. Money, power, connections... Even if they do nothing, their future is set. Why would they off themselves?"For those scraping by at the bottom, even a lifetime of hustle might not get them close to her world. That was the gap. The rich got to enjoy life. The poor were born to suffer and end their misery early."That's not true," she s

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1841

    Suddenly, Drake reached out and pulled her into a tight hug. It was the only way he felt grounded.The hug caught Debra off guard.She blinked. "What's wrong? Are you sleepwalking?"Drake didn't let go, and she added, "Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the medical room?""Just be quiet for a second," he murmured. "Let me hold you."Debra's legs were getting sore. Drake was way taller, and if she wasn't on her tiptoes, her face would've been buried in his chest."Ease up a bit. I can't breathe," she mumbled.He realized she was suffocating and let go. She stumbled back, barely staying upright. He froze, shocked by his own action. For a split second, he'd panicked, terrified he'd be trapped in this dream forever.But when Debra showed up, it was like she anchored him. Hugging her made him feel real."You got a fever or something? Your face is flushed," Debra said, reaching for his forehead.He swatted her hand away. "I'm fine. Just stop following me."Debra was co

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1840

    Drake looked around the campus.School life wasn't bad. It just wasn't his life. He wouldn't play basketball like a regular student, eat in the cafeteria, or cram into a dorm with buddies to play games. His life was supposed to be gritty and full of chaos. Debra belonged to this campus, not his world. They shouldn't even cross paths."Stop following me. I'm not jumping," he said.But her cautious footsteps crept closer. He turned around. "Keep tailing me, and I'm heading to the rooftop right now."She stopped in her tracks, and he smirked. It was easy to handle a naïve girl like that."Remember, my name's Drake Lowe. Don't get it wrong," he called over his shoulder, waving lazily.Debra watched him wander off, muttering, "Weirdo."He knew her name, got close for no reason, messed with her, and intended to jump off the building. Now he said he wouldn't jump.He was a strange guy, but he wasn't really a pain in the ass....The next morning, Drake woke up in his dorm bed.

    "Just kidding. Dream or reality, past or future, I'm never Sampson," Drake said.Sampson didn't deserve to be his family name."Alright, I don't need you today. Go back to your dorm," he added, ruffling her hair.Debra stared at him, stunned.He didn't need her, but he had dragged her out and made her walk so far.She looked back. The dorm building was a mile away. She suddenly felt sticking to her own business wasn't such a bad idea.Drake wandered around the campus alone. He passed the basketball court, the main field, the two cafeterias in the west district, the coffee shop, and the convenience store.School days seemed easygoing and relaxed. This kind of life was something he had never experienced before.Before he knew it, he'd walked a long way. He stopped, not even turning around, but he knew Debra was trailing him."Why are you following me?" he asked.Debra had kept her distance, deliberately slowing her steps to stay discreet. But Drake still sensed it."Uh... I wa

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1838

    Debra hesitated, then took his cup.One sip, and her face scrunched. "Ugh, it's like syrup. How do you drink this?""Used to it," Drake said, sipping again.Debra tried her own tea, but now it tasted bland. Just yesterday, she had tried one and found it good.As they walked, the maple leaves drifted down. From his angle, she was striking. In truth, she was always striking. Her fire just usually outshone her looks."A question has been bothering me," she started. "Why do you always stare at me like that? Do we know each other?"Too many emotions were hidden in his gaze, but there was no malice. That was why she wanted to help me in the first place."You remind me of a friend.""Really?""Sort of. Meeting her was bad luck. Everything went sideways after.""That bad?""Oh yeah. She subverted my life. She's sharp, and I can't outwit her. Kinda hate her for it.""Sounds like you don't hate her. You care about her."Drake stopped, frowning. "Care? I'd care about dogs first."Sh

    Drake smiled with satisfaction. For once, he had finally one-upped Debra."I want bubble tea.""Now? I've got class soon.""Feeling low. Might jump."He turned toward the edge again. Debra grabbed him. "Okay, okay. I'll get your bubble tea."She remembered there was a store 700 meters away. She hesitated for a moment and said, "To keep you safe, you're going with me.""I'm a man of my word," Drake clarified. "If you want me to come along, I'm game."Debra shot him a look, catching the glint in his eyes. "Alright, let's go."She led the way. Drake stayed a step behind.The passing students looked at them, curious.Debra glanced back a few times, noting his polite distance. It was not bad, but it felt like he was her bodyguard.The 700 meters to the shop felt eternal.At the counter, she pointed to the menu. "Which one?""With pearls," he replied."Two bubble teas with pearls, please," she told the cashier.He added, "Full sugar.""It's already sweet.""I like it sweeter
