Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1738
The pressure hit Shelia like a truck. She could barely breathe.It had been just one day, but Debra was now acting like a different person. Shelia found it hard to believe."Not handing it over? Swallow them then," Debra said, grabbing a handful of rhinestones from the ground and gripping her jaw.Shelia yelped, pain shooting through her face."No!" She smacked Debra's hand away.The rhinestones scattered.She broke free and bolted, but some other people blocked the door. A few picked up the stones and closed in slowly."What do you want? This is illegal," Shelia thrashed. "Stay back! Let me out!"She was desperate to escape, but there was no way out."This is illegal confinement. If I file a complaint to your principal, you're all screwed," she threatened.Arcane Academy's rules were ironclad. Anyone who broke them would be severely punished. These rich kids would hate the shame if they got busted.Her words made them pause, and she added, "Just let me go, and I won't snitc

Shelia seemed to want a cue from Debra.To repay her, Debra had promised to pull some strings and get her into Arcane Academy.Shelia stared at her, full of hope. Debra, however, simply popped the cake box open. "I don't do dairy. You guys split it."Shelia froze, and her face crumpled. "What's wrong? Did I mess up? Sorry. I should've asked what you like."Debra picked up the bracelet. The diamonds sparkled, but something felt off."Cake's a pass," she said. "Cheap cream's not my thing, but you should return my bracelet.""Cheap cream?" The heiress scowled, ready to trash the cake.A classmate piped up, skeptical. "You're not the daughter of the Miles family?""I never said I was," Shelia mumbled, biting her lip. "But Debra and I are tight. You said it, Debra. We're besties forever.""Is she really your friend?" a classmate asked, doubting. "You'd hang with someone like her?"Debra was the class star, with top grades and a bubbly vibe. She was Seamar City's golden girl and th

In the apartment, time crawled.Chace stared at Debra, who was sprawled motionless on the sofa.His mind rewound half an hour when he brought back some incense from the valley. It was a secret between them, kept even from Oscar.He wasn't sure if this was right, but back when Debra agreed to save the Odom family, she'd set terms.If she needed help, he'd jump in. No questions asked.In fact, when the cleanup job landed on him, he knew she'd planned it. She wanted the Illuminati's incense.When he had gotten it, he had warned her of its potential harm, but he knew he couldn't sway her.His only job now was to snap her out of it if things went south.The clock ticked. Cicadas screeched outside. Maple leaves glowed red.The campus buzzed with hyped-up college kids."Debra, someone's here for you." A voice faded in and out, yanking her back.A girl in a school uniform pointed at a woman by the gate.Debra blinked, realizing she had been zoning out.It felt like some hazy dream

Marion came out of the house and hopped into the car."Sir, where to next?" asked the secretary."The company," Marion replied, pulling out his phone and dialing a number he knew by heart.No one was answering, and he got even antsier.The secretary clocked his jittery vibe. "Sir, back to the office?""No. The McKinney Group."Marion's nerves screamed. He prayed it wasn't as bad as he feared.At the McKinney Group headquarters, the staff buzzed like bees. Hardly anyone noticed Marion barreling in.Ben spotted him and approached. "Mr. Houston? What brings you here? And isn't Mrs. Houston with you?"Marion stopped mid-stride, then spun around and bolted out.The secretary trailed him, watching him go from jogging to sprinting. He rarely lost his cool like that.The secretary trotted to catch up, asking where they were headed, but got no answer.At the Central Hospital, the corridor stretched empty. Only Barton and Jordan stood to one side.Experts filed out of the meeting ro

At the Houston Group headquarters, Marion slouched in the meeting room chair. The same tired lines droned around him.He cut in, weary. "Are you done?"The room went dead quiet. Everyone held their breath, stealing glances at him. "Guess that's a wrap," he said, standing up.He'd woken up on edge early in the morning. He didn't know why, but his heart had been racing.One guy jumped up. "Sir, there are other proposals." "If I've gotta micromanage everything, why the hell do I pay you?" Marion frowned. "Figure it out yourselves. I've got stuff to do."He walked out of the room, with his secretary trailing him. "Sir, the next stop is Osborne Group.""I'm heading back to Potter Mansion."The secretary blinked because a lot of issues were still waiting for Marion to address....Erica and Randy hunched over the living room sofa, buried in files.Beside their phones lay three laptops and two tablets.When Marion stormed in, they pounced like he was their lifeline."Thank Go

It had been given to her some time ago by Drake.Debra had nearly died trying to swipe it from him, but in the end, he had just handed it over."It's evidence of big-shot crimes," she said. "But I don't want it to be public. This is just a copy.""I don't quite get it." Pedro stared, puzzled."This flash drive has got dirt on too many heavy hitters. You don't wanna make enemies. Just use it to take down their shady businesses. We'll fry the big fish ourselves.""Sounds like a plan. I'm in.""Thank you."After all she'd been through, Debra got how the world worked. Not every bad guy got what was coming. Too much unfairness was out there.When the law couldn't touch certain people, they'd take it into their own hands. They would do it quietly without upsetting the public.Every circle had its unwritten rules. Business was no different.Starting today, she'd set those rules. Anyone stepping out of line and screwing society would be taken down.Pedro left, and Debra felt lighter

Ben hesitated. "For real? They're still hurt.""Yeah, do it," Debra said.The pair in the room perked up, itching for something to do. Then their phones started pinging.Their smiles faded when they saw a barrage of documents, including contracts, renewals, breach penalties from stalled businesses, financials, department summaries, layoffs, and the Illuminati spy probes.Erica's head spun. She looked at Debra, who had walked in. "All of these?""Yup," Debra replied. "The Illuminati hit everyone hard. Every company is in the same boat. Marion has been up before dawn at his company, hiring elites to lighten the load. Millions have been spent. Your company is not looking great either. Good luck with it.""Debra..." Erica whined.Debra plugged her ears and headed to Randy's room next door.He held his phone out like it was sacred. "I'm sorry, and I appreciate your hard work these past few days. My shoulder's still rough and might take a month or two to heal. My company will be depe

Liza looked down, fidgeting as she grabbed Debra's hands."We're still friends, right?""Yeah.""Fermin had his reasons for how he treated you guys. I..." "I understand. We're good. Swing by when you're free.""Cool."Outside the Potter Mansion, Fermin's crew rolled up to get her.After Liza left, Theda sighed. "Great. We're already slammed, and now with her gone, we're screwed.""Yup, even busier," Debra said, shaking her head.The company mess alone gave her headaches."Wait a second," Theda said. "We're all swamped, but where's Jordan? He's usually first in line to help.""Andrew gave him some job," Debra said. "Probably busier than us these days.""Andrew, huh?""You guys go way back, don't you?""Well, I just owe him a favor. I used to wonder what kind of woman could match a guy like him. Then I figured someone that brutal would probably end up single. Gave up thinking about it.""That's a wild angle.""The first time I saw him, he was more untouchable than any m

"I don't understand." Debra played dumb.Drake pressed, "I'm not as smart as Marion, but I'm not clueless. In the valley, you had us plug our noses because you knew what'd happen if we breathed too much, didn't you?"She stayed quiet, which only fueled his hunch."That dream does wipe out regrets," he said, looking up. "I saw my mom and that man. He didn't ditch her."Debra blinked, and he smiled bitterly. "Turns out, all my crap ties back to that guy.""That dream is fake. Everything in it is unreal. Don't overthink it," she said."You too," he said, leaning against the bed. "If you weren't overthinking, you wouldn't be grilling Andrew.""So, you know what I'm after. Everyone does, except me.""I learned one thing when I was little. Truth doesn't come from others. You want it? Dig it up yourself. Don't expect anyone to just hand it over."He paused, then met her eyes. "Unless you don't wanna dig."From what he knew of Debra, if she wanted answers, she'd have sniffed them out
