Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 1701 - Bab 1710

"Hold on," Jordan chimed in. "I was the one who got kidnapped. If anyone's gonna tell you, it should be me.""Alright," Debra said, taking a deep breath. "Go ahead."It had been haunting her in her dreams, which felt so real. They couldn't be just simple dreams."We crossed a lot of people back then," he sighed. "People from the Illuminati. Jeffery orchestrated the kidnapping.""I know that part," Debra said. "You got kidnapped. Your parents tried to save you but died in a car crash. And Andrew lost his legs. But what's that got to do with me? Why was I taken too?"Her parents had never mentioned it. She had no memory of it either."I was just a kid," Jordan said. "I didn't know everything. Maybe Jeffery wanted to take down the four families. He grabbed me and threw you in for good measure. It was a heavy blow to the two families."He looked up and continued, "My parents couldn't rescue me, but your parents managed to save you. Marion and I didn't tell you because we figured tho

Erica still felt uneasy.The other night, she had passed out somehow. By the time she woke up, she found herself in this secret room.Then Yvette showed up. "Erica, I know you're a good kid. Hiding you here is the only way I can protect you. I get that you came snooping around, but it's too risky. Enoch is not coming back anytime soon. You will be safe here.""But I can't just hide here," Erica argued. "I've got friends out there. I need to stand with them. Right now, they are probably freaking out over me."She set down the snacks and stood up. Suddenly, the room spun."Mrs. Osborne...""Trust me, honey. This is for your good."...At the Potter Mansion, Randy woke up at dusk.Debra smirked at William, who was lurking by the door. "Your drugs pack a hell of a punch. He slept all day.""To prevent him from waking up too soon, you know," he chuckled nervously, ducking behind the doorframe.He was afraid of Randy's wrath. The man was a beast when he was angry.Randy rubbed hi

Randy spun toward her. "What did you find? You know where Erica is?""Back in Orkgate," Debra said, "Drake once used an underground tunnel to move me to a clothing store. That tunnel wasn't new, probably something the Illuminati built ages ago, like the creepy games at the gala.""Makes sense." Randy's eyes lit up. He shouted to the team, "Go. Look for hidden tunnels or anything like that."The crew spread out, combing the place.Debra started thinking harder. Marion noticed. "What's wrong?""It's still weird," she said, eyeing the setup. "This looks like Enoch's secret hideout. How did Mrs. Osborne find out? And everyone's gone. Your guys said no one left. So, where is everyone? They can't be all members of the Illuminati."Randy chewed over her words, but he didn't care about that now.Debra kept puzzling it out. If they were, then their earlier words were bunk.She just couldn't figure out why that maid had brought up the kidnapping case from 20 years ago. Her head pounded

Debra instantly thought of the Illuminati."Why are you here?" she asked, keeping her composure."It was Mrs. Osborne," Emma replied. "She brought us here. Said it'd be safe. But those people stormed in. Their leader said something to her, and they dragged her and Miss Mathis off.""Why did she bring you here?""She said it was a safe spot.""You knew all along Mrs. Osborne was hiding Erica, didn't you?"The two maids' faces went pale."You were both at the house that night," Debra pointed out. "And you saw Enoch come back. Erica was upstairs, then ended up in that basement room. Emma, you said you were downstairs all night. You had to have seen her. What really happened?"The air got thick with tension.Finally, Mabel spoke up. "It was Mrs. Osborne's idea.""My mom?" Michael blinked.Yvette was always a loving mother in his mind. She was scatterbrained at times, but she wasn't crazy."It wasn't her fault," Mabel sighed. "She didn't want to play crazy all these years, but s

Dozens of cars roared toward the deep mountains.Sheriff Pedro had the roads locked down tight. One of his deputies approached him. "Sir, are we really backing Debra and her crew?"They'd pulled every man on duty, sealed every mountain entrance, and sent extra hands to help Debra and Marion.That was like risking their necks. If Debra's team flopped, the Illuminati would come after them.Pedro took a long drag on his cigarette and exhaled. "I'm not just helping Debra. I'm helping everyone."He straightened the deputy's cap, dropping his cautious vibe. "We're policemen. Protecting people is our job."The deputy blinked, not expecting that from Pedro, someone who had always played it safe.Pedro stared at the dark sky. Dawn was still not in sight.He had coasted through decades, watching life's ups and downs. He knew the world wasn't perfect, but he still believed in its good side.His job was keeping the peace and weeding out the evil. This time, he was all in. Even if they los
