Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 821
Drake wasn't engaged to Yvonne. That was a curveball Debra hadn't seen coming.She couldn't recall any connections between Drake and the Eaton family, but once again, things were diverging from her past life."Debra?" Andrew's voice snapped her back to reality.She blinked. "Sorry.""Since Marion is here, you can share what you found out at the Lowe family's," he said.Debra nodded, grabbing a pen and paper from the table. "After Drake took me, I played the abandoned fiancée card and gained his trust. I got a list of names and discovered that the third floor of their casino was a front for a prostitution ring. Drugs might be involved too."She scribbled down the names and sketched out the casino's third floor. Andrew scanned the list, his expression grave. These were Orkgate's elite, families who'd been in bed with the Lowes for years. Many of these businesses were not above board, and this list looked quite convincing."Drake must trust you so much that he gave you such an impo

"Thank you," Debra murmured, gathering her robe to conceal the marks from the night before. "Can you arrange for a few people to accompany me to the Nichols Mansion later?""How many would you like?" asked the maid.Debra thought for a moment. "As many as possible."Soon enough, the maid had arranged for a driver and an entourage to escort Debra. At noon, they set off.In her room, Shelia was thinking about how to get that sum. She had boasted in front of Debra and had to present the money.Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and in swarmed a group of people.Startled by the sound, Shelia rushed downstairs. Melody also emerged from her room with the help of Sophie.Debra made her entrance in a black jacket and a pair of black boots. The punk style was something new. For a moment, Melody nearly didn't recognize her.Debra greeted her with a smile. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., it's been a while.""I wondered who it was," Melody snorted. "So, it's you. What are you doing here with so many

Melody's face turned ashen. She had spent days searching for Violet. To her surprise, Violet ended up in Debra's hands."Violet!" Melody spat. "How much did Debra pay you to frame me like this? We're family. You know I would protect you if she threatened you. The Nichols family isn't some weak, insignificant household. Not just anyone can cause trouble here."She hoped invoking the family name would remind Violet where her true loyalties lay. Surely, no one would side with a fallen heiress like Debra over the powerful Nichols.But Violet's will had been broken by her husband and Andrew. She variously shook her head. "No one paid or threatened me, Melody. You know exactly what you did. I have the chat logs and bank transfers as proof. Please, Ms. Frazier, take me in. I'll accept whatever punishment."She was desperate for some form of protection. Even prison was better than her husband's torture.Debra fixed Melody with a cold, unblinking stare. "Well, it looks like you've run out

Once, Debra had been the heiress to the Frazier family and Juan's wife. She was someone Shelia had once begrudgingly respected.But now, Debra had fallen from grace. The Nichols family had cast her aside, the Frazier Group had crumbled into bankruptcy, and Shelia had triumphantly taken her place as Juan's fiancée.Yet, despite her fall, Debra dared to lay a hand on her."Hit you?" Debra spat, grabbing Shelia's hair. "Well, that's just the start. You've schemed against me time and time again, and I let it go because you weren't worth the effort. You wanted Juan, and I gave him up. But you couldn't leave it at that, could you? You kept coming for me. So now, we settle this."Terror crept up Shelia's spine as Debra's icy gaze bore into her. This wasn't the timid, compliant woman she remembered. Debra was now dangerous and ruthless.Debra turned to the bodyguards. "Melody Nichols has confessed to hiring a hitman. Take her to the police.""Yes, ma'am." The bodyguards moved swiftly, gr

Jade's eyes were bloodshot, her once gentle face now a mask of barely contained fury.She had been hidden away by Edgar, forced to live in the shadows, while Shelia paraded around the city center, having stolen everything that was rightfully hers—her father, her name, and her very identity.Shelia panicked and cowered. She hadn't expected Jade to be alive, let alone standing right in front of her."It wasn't me. I didn't want to take everything from you," Shelia stammered. "You just weren't lucky enough. Even if you were still alive, your dad wouldn't have accepted you. The Blair family would never acknowledge a prostitute like you."Jade clenched her fists. "Yes, I'm a prostitute. But that doesn't give you the right to steal everything from me."She turned to Debra and pleaded, "I have a grudge with Shelia. Could you let me deal with her?"Debra nodded. "Everyone has to face their debts. I'll leave her to you."Shelia's heart sank. She shouted at Debra, "You have no right to de
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 826
"Yes, ma'am... I mean, Ms. Frazier," Sophie replied.Debra left with the bodyguards.Melody was shaken. Shelia tried to scream but was silenced by one of the guards.Just when they arrived at the gate, another group of people rushed over. Juan stepped out of the car, his expression indifferent as he stood face-to-face with Debra.Melody and Shelia saw hope. Shelia bit the guard's hand, and as he winced, she shouted, "Juan, save me.""Juan, get rid of this crazy woman," Melody shouted, struggling.Debra frowned, recalling the events of the other night. After sending her to the ship, he headed back alone. She hadn't expected him to make it back alive."Melody hired a hitman to kill me. I have proof. Shelia attempted murder and Jade's identity. You know this as well. What now? Going to fight me?""Name your price," Juan said calmly. "Whatever I can give, I'll give."Debra laughed coldly. "I want the Nichols Group. Will you give it up in exchange for Melody not going to jail?""Y
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 827
"Three months is it," Debra agreed, leading Jade and the others to leave.In three months, she would take over Juan's company.Juan silently watched her leave. Suddenly, the sharp crack of a slap echoed in the air.Standing before him, Melody snapped, "How could someone so foolish be part of this family? You've brought disgrace upon us all. Go after her and dissolve your promise. Do you hear me?"She pushed him, desperate to protect the family's legacy that had been built over decades. But no matter how hard she pushed, Juan didn't budge.Finally, he grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Have you had enough?"Melody froze, shocked by his tone.He added, "I've spent my life following your rules. I owe this family nothing, but I owe Debra everything. Grandma, I'll pay you back for raising me and make sure you're comfortable for the rest of your life."Without waiting for a response, he turned to Sophie, who had been lingering by the door. "Pack her things and take her back to the ol

The icy look in Juan's eyes daunted her. Shelia tried to leap off the bed, but Juan was quicker.He seized her hair, yanking her back so forcefully that clumps of it tore free.She screamed in agony, but Juan didn't stop there. He calmly reached beneath the bed and pulled out a coil of nylon rope."No, what are you doing? You can't..." Shelia's protest was cut off as he slapped a piece of duct tape over her mouth.She thrashed, but it was no use. With each twist of the rope, Juan's control over her tightened.He drew the curtains, shrouding the room in an oppressive darkness. Her muffled cries were the only sounds in the room.Shelia trembled in terror, tied down and unable to move.Juan stood over her, his voice void of emotion. "From now on, you'll stay right here as Mrs. Nichols. I'll feed you and bring you water, but you won't see the light of day or anyone else."Shelia's eyes widened in terror, her screams muffled beneath the tape."Don't worry," Juan added, unfeeling. "

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
