Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 925
The car ride back to the Lowe Mansion was filled with heavy silence. Debra, forced to wear handcuffs and a blindfold, heard nothing but the hum of the engine.She decided to break the silence."Feeling down?""Shut up.""What happened after Mr. Eaton Sr. showed up?""Want me to sew your mouth shut?"Debra couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction at Drake's anger.It was clear that his engagement to Liza was on the rocks. Without the Eaton family's support, Drake's business there would crumble.It wouldn't take more than a week for their operations to fold, and those business owners, who had been trying to curry favor with him, would have to reassess their strategies.Drake's foul mood was understandable."Boss, tonight's events were suspicious," Kale said. "Miss Eaton mentioned that a maid told her about Mrs. Houston accompanying you to the banquet. Should we investigate it?""Of course," Drake said. "Find that maid and bring her to my study. I'll question her in pe

Liza turned her head and took in their interaction."Drake, you're despicable!" Liza shouted. "Just a moment ago, you claimed Debra wasn't with you. Now you have the nerve to bring her over. I can see you have no respect for me."She raised her hand high, ready to slap Drake. Kale stepped forward and caught her wrist in an iron grip."Let me go!" Liza shrieked, struggling against his hold.But Kale stood his ground. Drake coldly stared at her, fed up with her arrogance.Now that their engagement was broken and Bert wasn't around, he saw no need to humor her anymore.Debra tugged at Drake's sleeve and whispered, "You've made your point and should let her go. She's still an Eaton."He turned to her. "You weren't so timid when you confronted me.""She's irrational," Debra said. "You're unlike her, are you?"Unwilling to quibble with her, he instructed Kale, "Let her go."Kale released Liza's hand, stepping back without a word.Liza turned to Drake, who wasn't looking at her w

Lara anxiously looked at Debra, holding her breath.Debra met Drake's eyes and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose."As Drake's eyes narrowed, she added, "Those jewels were expensive. I couldn't wear them when you had a fiancée. I was going to pretend I forgot to wear them, but Lara didn't understand, insisting on bringing them to me. How could I accept them?"She glanced at Liza and asked, "Miss Eaton, you agree with me, right?"Liza scoffed, "At least you know your place."Disinterested in going on the conversation, she hooked her arm through Cathryn's and said, "Let's go."Cathryn's mind was elsewhere. She wanted to see how Drake would handle Debra.Drake turned his attention back to Debra."Boss," Kale started to speak, but Drake cut him off with a dismissive wave. "So, this was all just a misunderstanding?""Exactly," Debra responded quickly, knowing when to stand her ground and when to back down.Drake believed her, given how scared she had been at the gate earlier."It's

Debra took a deep breath, trying to hide her worry. She couldn't let Drake suspect her relationship with Lara."Alright," she said nonchalantly, heading upstairs.But then, a sharp slap echoed from below. She looked back and saw Lara crumpled on the floor."What the hell?" she shouted.Drake shot her a cold glance. "Go on."Lara quickly spoke. "It's all my fault. Mrs. Houston, don't worry about me. I'll take whatever punishment."As Debra was unwilling to move, Drake signaled to Kale. "Escort Mrs. Houston upstairs.""No need. I'll go up myself," Debra said, ascending the stairs.Drake shifted his attention back to Lara, who was shaking like a leaf."Boss," Kale ventured cautiously, "she messed up your plans. Should we deal with her?"Normally, Drake wouldn't hesitate to exact a severe punishment, but this time he only looked disgusted."Dock her a month's pay.""What?"Drake's gaze flicked toward him, cool and sharp. "Didn't you hear me? Fine, forget it."Before Kale coul

"Mr. Lowe said that due to recent financial difficulties after breaking off the engagement with the Eaton family, he could only ask you to make do with this," replied the maid.Debra looked at the soup and laughed incredulously.Even if the Lowe family were broke, Drake wouldn't just serve her a bowl of boiled water.She knew he was doing this deliberately."Tell him I appreciate the thought, but I won't be drinking the soup." She stood up with the bowl.The maid was stunned. "Mrs. Houston?"Debra swiftly descended the stairs, with the maid trailing behind her. "Mrs. Houston, you can't just wander around."Drake, who was eating in the living room, watched as Debra walked past him.She called out, "Bobo, soup time."A black dog approached, sniffed the soup, and then silently retreated.As Debra returned from the doorway, Drake took a bite of his bread. "Who let you come out?"The maid quickly apologized, "I'm sorry I couldn't stop her."Drake frowned. "Did I ask you?"The m

"Alright, let's just say I believe you," Drake said."You should," Debra said.Drake leaned back in his chair. "But don't you think you owe me some compensation? After all, I lost my engagement because of you."Debra tilted her head. "I'm broke and don't have anything valuable to compensate you with.""I'm not asking for much," Drake said casually. "Just 20% of the McKinney Group's shares.""Are you trying to rob me?" Debra stared at him as if he'd lost his mind."No deal?""No deal.""Then maybe I'll have to take one of your hands instead.""Go ahead."Debra extended her hand with complete seriousness, as if ready to make good on her offer.Drake chuckled, both irritated and amused. "You'd give up your hand just to save money? Are you that desperate?""If I lose a hand, I can still eat. If I lose my money, I'll starve," Debra replied matter-of-factly.Drake batted her hand away. "Then go ask Marion to transfer the Houston Group's shares to me.""That will do.""Are you

"Mrs. Houston, let's go upstairs," said the maid.Debra glanced at her. "I've been cooped up in the house for days. I need some fresh air. That's not too much to ask, is it?""I guess so," the maid said hesitantly.After all, Drake didn't forbid Debra to walk around the villa."Good, then I'll take a stroll. You don't need to follow me," Debra said."Mrs. Houston..." The maid wanted to advise her, but Debra was already moving toward the door.Outside, the patrolling security guards were surprised by her appearance.Debra was still in her pajamas, walking leisurely and humming a tune as she headed toward the garden.Lara rushed out after her, and a guard approached. "What's going on? Mr. Lowe didn't say Mrs. Houston could come out.""I don't know," the maid replied anxiously. "Get someone to follow her. If she runs away, we're all doomed.""Got it." Several guards hurried after Debra, keeping a safe distance behind her.Debra glanced sideways, noticing the guards tailing her.

"Sir, what should we do with these people? Should we get rid of them?" asked one of Marion's men.Debra cut in, "What?"Marion cleared his throat. "Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever taken care of anyone?""Huh?" The man blinked, confused.They always handled things decisively and left no loose ends."Tie them up," Marion ordered. "Hold them for now. And take care of the surveillance footage.""Should we smash the cameras?" asked the man.Debra felt helpless. "Seriously?"Marion shot his subordinate a glare. "Erase the footage. Who told you to smash anything?""I thought simple and brutal was the way to go," the man muttered, scratching the back of his head.Debra cast a sidelong glance at Marion. "Is this how you usually hold such things?"He put on an innocent look. "No, it's their approach, not mine."The denial was so swift and complete that his men all froze in disbelief. Usually, they only acted on Marion's explicit orders. Without his go-ahead, they wouldn't dare

Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

"What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"

William left quickly.Marion got up to lock the door and returned to the bedside.Sitting back into the chair, he switched on a dim lamp, making sure Debra would see him first thing if she woke up."Brother..." Debra mumbled.Marion leaned in. "I'm here."Her murmurs stopped, but her hands shot up, grasping at the air. "It's so dark. Save me."He grabbed her flailing hands right away. "Don't be scared. I'm right here."But she didn't calm down. She clutched his hand, her nails scratching at his skin. "Brother, save me," she murmured, feeling like she was trapped in a pitch-black hold.Cold seawater seemed to swallow her whole. The biting chill seeped into every crack of her body. The stench of the ocean made her gag.The water was up to her chin. She stood on tiptoes, desperate for a breath in that tiny space."Save me." Her eyes flew open.Familiar surroundings came into view. Her pupils darted until they landed on Marion. Her racing heart finally slowed."Marion?" Her v

Not long after, Marion came out with Debra.William nudged Erica and Randy. "Told you it would be soon.""How's she out here fresh after surgery?" Erica gawked.Debra was supposed to recover in the hospital, but seeing her unconscious form on the stretcher, Erica figured he had his reasons."Let's go back," Jordan chimed in. "The Potter Mansion's got a top-notch medical team. If we need gear, I'll grab it.""Yeah, hospitals suck anyway," Randy said. "Let's head back. It's freezing out here."They'd planned to grab food and head in, but Erica had made them wait so Marion could have more time with Debra. Now they were all sniffling."I'm... Achoo." William sneezed again, then bolted for the car. "I'm out of there. It's freaking cold."He had treated so many patients, but this was the first time he had fallen ill.Debra, still out cold, was loaded into the back. Marion stayed close, tending to her.By the time they reached the Potter Mansion, it was the middle of the night.Wil

William rubbed his eyes in disbelief.They had taken the emergency lane to the hospital, but Marion and the others arrived right behind their heels after going through a battle."We floored it. That's not the point," Erica replied.Marion and Jordan were already striding into the hospital.Randy grabbed Erica's arm. "Come on. Let's go.""Huh? William is still here." She was puzzled.Inside, the operating room's red light glowed.Marion arrived first. The hospital director greeted him, saying, "Mrs. Houston is in surgery now. Our top doctors have assessed her. The wound's been handled perfectly, and she is out of danger."Marion's face softened a bit. Erica heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God. She's fine now."They'd been terrified seeing Debra collapse in a pool of blood."You're wiped out. Why don't you rest a bit?" Erica said, turning to Marion."I'll wait here," he replied, his eyes glued to the red light.Until it turned green, he couldn't rest his mind at ease."Well

Michael raised an eyebrow. "My plan never included you. Does our master know you snuck here from Orkgate? And you've got the nerve to question me?"Lara glared at him, her body aching from the burns. Her face twisted with anger."Take Miss Sharp back for treatment. It will take two hours to get back, so she'll have to tough it out," Michael ordered, unfazed.Before leaving with his crew, he lamented sanctimoniously, "Such a shame, ruining a pretty face like that."Lara clenched her fists, incandescent with rage....In the ambulance, Debra coughed up another mouthful of blood. It splattered right onto William's white coat."Aw." William almost griped about the mess, holding back only at the sight of her bad condition.He had to save her, no matter what. It was a promise he'd made to Andrew.He didn't even want to think about what would happen to him if Debra didn't make it today."Maybe another shot of painkiller? We've gotta get that bullet out fast," a medic suggested."Yo
