Chapter 8

Moments later, Shelia emerged from the restroom, her face looking grim. She was now dressed in a white gown.

"What's wrong?" Juan asked.

"I just changed in the restroom and thought I saw Debra."

"Debra?"

Shelia nodded. "I saw Debra with that man. They seemed intimate."

Shelia observed Juan's expression and quickly added, "But I might have been mistaken. How could Debra know someone like Marion? I heard he's a desperado."

"Debra..." Juan's tone turned cold.

He had noticed Marion's interest in Debra last time.

'Doesn't she know how to avoid danger? Even getting close to someone like Marion.'

Juan felt upset.

Debra emerged from the restroom and was puzzled about Juan's dissatisfaction.

"Where did you go?" Juan whispered.

"Me? I went to the restroom."

Debra was confused.

Shelia stepped forward, pretending to be affectionate, as she grabbed Debra's hand. "Debra, I saw it just now. Marion is not a good person. Don't let him deceive you."

Debra instinctively withdrew her hand.

Shelia's hand hung in mid-air, and she looked aggrieved. "I didn't tell Mr. Nichols about it on purpose, but Marion is really not a good person."

"I know what kind of person Marion is. I don't need others to judge," Debra huffed.

"I..." Shelia bit her lip, looking hurt.

"Shelia is looking out for you. Don't be oblivious and provoke the wrong people," Juan warned.

Shelia tugged at Juan's sleeve, as if to imply he was being too harsh.

If other people saw it, they might think that Shelia was Juan's wife.

"In any case, it's best not to get close to Marion. You're a woman of high standing, while he's a man without upbringing. How could you have any ties with him?" Shelia said.

Suddenly, the sound of a cane hitting the ground came.

Everyone turned to see an elderly man with gray hair standing in the center of the hall.

Debra turned around, feeling a sense of familiarity. Soon, she recognized the old man as the gardener who had been arranging vases in the hall earlier.

Now, the old man was dressed in a suit, flanked by two bodyguards. His stern gaze carried a hint of ruthlessness, making people wary.

"This is Mr. Caleb Houston," one of the bodyguards introduced.

Everyone in the vicinity raised their glasses respectfully to the old man.

Only Shelia was pale.

The old man she had scolded just now turned out to be Caleb.

Shortly after, Marion emerged from behind Caleb and stood by his side, supporting him.

Debra suddenly had a bad feeling.

Marion looked at Debra and slowly smirked.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invited you all here today to declare that Marion is my grandson, the sole heir of the Houston family."

Caleb coldly glanced at Shelia.

Shelia felt a chill.

"He is not some wild man without upbringing," Caleb said.

Everyone in the room was astonished, and Debra's heart was pounding.

'Something is not right. The timeline has changed. How could this happen?'

    In the face of danger, all they could do was carve a path forward with their flesh and blood."Lillian, being your mom must be great," Debra said, taking Marion's hand.Their fingers were interlocked as they marched fearlessly into the valley.When I woke up, sunlight streamed through the window, stinging my eyes. I shielded them with my hand.Solomon was still asleep. I shook his shoulder. "Solomon, wake up."He stirred, rubbing his eyes, and saw the broad daylight outside.Last night, I swiped Jordan's potion. I hadn't expected it to spark such a wild dream.Solomon and I sat in silence for a full minute."You dreamed of it too?" I asked."Yeah." He nodded."We had the same dream?""Yeah.""That's freaking weird."I hadn't imagined a tiny vial could do this. I'd thought it was just a sleeping aid.Just then, Debra's voice came from outside.I bolted out of bed and opened the door. There sat my parents in the living room downstairs.Marion's brow furrowed when he saw S

    "Honey, you're scaring the kid," Debra said, turning to me. "Don't worry. This guy looks tough, but he's a softie.""Softie?" Marion mumbled, but he didn't argue.I whispered, "Mrs. Houston, you're so gorgeous. Why did you marry him?"It was a question I'd always had.Marion was handsome in his youth, but Debra was a knockout. She must've had suitors lining up.She had told me stories of the past, but I'd struggled to process them. I'd even thought that Juan was a jerk.But in this world, I realized Debra could've stayed single and still lived a bold, free life."What's that?" Marion snorted. "Can't infiltrate, so you're trying to drive a wedge?"His eyes in the rearview mirror were sharp, making me shrink."Love doesn't follow logic," Debra replied. "You'll get it when you meet someone you can't resist."She paused, then asked, "By the way, you got a boyfriend?"I gave an awkward laugh. "I'm too young for that. Haven't dated yet.""What's your type?""Hmm... Not too ugly,

    I went back to the guest room, still dazed.Solomon tapped my forehead. "What's up? What did your mom say to you?""She said she believes I'm her daughter," I replied.He blinked. "You sure you heard that right?""No mistake. I heard her clear as day.""But who would buy a story like that?""She said she's been through it, so she believes me."Only now did I see how cool Debra was, beyond just being my mother.Solomon and I stayed at the Potter Mansion all night, but there was no sign of us waking up.Randy never trusted our story, practically watching us round the clock. Solomon and I started to worry we'd be stuck there forever."Let's storm that bastard's hideout and take him down!" Randy slammed the table.Solomon and I jumped, startled."Sit down." Erica smacked the back of his head. "Use your brain. You think we can just charge in? It's too risky.""Then what? We gotta strike first.""That's enough. Don't argue," Debra chimed in.She had listened to Randy's fired-u

    A knock came at the door.Solomon and I sat up straight.The door opened, revealing Debra in simple jeans and a white blouse.Her long hair was tied high. She looked sharp and clean."You, come with me," she said, crooking a finger at me."Me?" I pointed at myself."Yeah, you."She turned and left.I glanced at Solomon, and he nodded.We both understood that she would not harm us.I followed her out, but instead of heading to her room, she picked an empty one nearby.I felt a twinge of nerves. "Why did you bring me here?""I checked. Arcane Academy has no record of you two." Her fingers tapped the table.I held my breath under the weight of her words.She stared at me. "Why did you lie?""We didn't. It's just...""Just what? You're from the future?"I froze, disbelief washing over me."Bingo," she smiled. "The moment I saw you, I felt a connection. Like you were my kid.""Mom...""Hold it. Stick with Mrs. Houston for now."She wasn't ready to be a college kid's mot

    They prepared to leave.Just then, some police cars rolled in, led by Pedro. He ordered his team to handle the ship's wreckage and scattered bodies.The sky darkened.Solomon and I had nowhere else to go, so we followed them.At first, we thought we'd slipped under the radar, hiding beneath the van. But once the van hit the road, we realized they knew.Randy floored it, speeding like a maniac.By the time we arrived, Solomon and I couldn't hold it together. We stumbled out, puking our guts out.Randy hopped out, grinning at our misery. "Couldn't hack it, huh? And you thought you could take us on? Come back in a decade."I retched, the world spinning. Solomon fared slightly better but still hurled.Debra stepped forward. "I let you go, and you chase us down? You really got a death wish?""Mom..." My head was fuzzy, blurring the line between dream and reality.The sight of her youthful face snapped me back. This was a dream, and these were adults in their prime.I had never s
