Chapter 1155

Author: Cozy Season
The call ended abruptly, leaving Ivan to stew in his thoughts.

He hadn't intended to waste time on Debra, but since it was an order from his boss, he decided to play along.

By noon, Ivan had prepared a lavish lunch. The table was laden with exquisite dishes—a far cry from the simple meals Garland had grown accustomed to at the Eaton Mansion.

He shook his head, marveling at the luxuries Drake enjoyed.

Garland watched Ivan meticulously arrange the plates. The kid seemed clueless that Debra was toying with him.

Debra descended the stairs, supporting Marion. In the meantime, Drake and Kale came down from the other side.

Ivan stole a glance at Marion and quickly looked away.

Debra, on the other hand, surveyed the table and commented, "Well done, Ivan."

"Thank you, Mrs. Houston. I'll get back to work," Ivan replied, dutifully returning to the kitchen to clean up.

Garland clicked his tongue. "Using a kid as a servant. That's a bit cruel."

He sympathized with Ivan, who seemed to be a

    Ivan grew anxious at the news.Debra took Marion's hand and said, "Let's go upstairs and order some takeout.""Sure." Marion followed her obediently.Garland thought Debra was exaggerating, but when he took a bite, a foul, fishy taste instantly filled his mouth. He could feel the fish scales dancing on his tongue."Actually, this is quite... gag... good. Keep it up... gag. I need to go upstairs for a second." He covered his mouth and rushed upstairs.The food looked good but tasted awful. Debra's earlier comments were actually mild."Wait." Liza dropped her fork and chased after him.With a poker face, Ivan walked over to the dishes he had prepared and dumped them into the trash.The time left for him was limited. He needed to speed up his plans.That afternoon, an invitation arrived at the Lowe Mansion.Kale handed it to Drake, who glanced at it briefly. "They think I'll go to every little gathering?""Boss, this invitation isn't for you," Kale reminded him.Drake frowned

    With his guilt over Marion's injury, Drake would ensure Debra's safety.Marion smiled, "Yeah. You're right."Debra nestled against his chest. "When do you think we'll live a peaceful life?"Every day was a constant battle. It was exhausting. She could only find a moment of peace when she was with Marion.She added, "I've been thinking a lot lately. If we were just ordinary kids, with our parents still around, friends by our side, and no backstabbing or life-and-death struggles, life would be so much easier."Marion reassured her, "Trust me, it won't be far ahead."Debra gave a small smile. "But deep down, you know as well as I do. If the mastermind stays hidden in the shadows, we'll never get close enough to them. Even if we don't provoke him, they'll come after us."Her voice dropped lower. "And when that happens, none of us—Randy, Erica, Andrew, and Drake—will come out unscathed."Clearly, whoever was behind all this was powerful. They were the cause of Marion's and her paren

    "Sure." Ivan caught the dress.Lara presented another box. "Mrs. Houston, there's one more.""Another one?" Debra opened the box to find a black chiffon gown."It's mine," Liza exclaimed, rushing over.Seeing the beautiful gown, she beamed with joy. "This dress is called Black Sand Star River. I should praise their good taste."She held the gown up to herself, admiring it. Debra realized that the invitation was extended to Liza as well.Drake emerged from his study and looked down from the second floor. "What? Feeling left out because someone else got a designer gown?""Not really. Mine is being ironed now," Debra replied.Drake frowned, glancing at Kale. "Why didn't you tell me she was going too?""I thought you didn't care, Boss."Drake seethed. "Don't you know the gala...""Mr. Houston agreed to her attending," Kale explained.Seeing Ivan was also there, Drake came down and said to Debra, "Come with me.""Why?""To take a walk in the garden."Liza, engrossed in her go

    "No," Drake refused flatly.It was not like he owed her anything.He added, "If you want people, ask Marion. I don't have any."With that, he turned to leave. Until he reached the door, Debra didn't call after him."Is this how you ask others for a favor?" Drake grumbled under his breath.Then he stopped in his tracks and looked back at her. "Fine. I'll lend you the people."Debra gave a grateful smile. "Thank you."Drake had a nagging feeling he'd been tricked. Yet it also felt like his softness gave her the opening she needed.He watched sullenly as Debra happily headed toward the living room.Kale emerged from the shadows. "Boss..."The sudden voice startled Drake. "When did you get here?""I've been here the whole time.""Then go prepare the manpower for Debra. Also, find out which hotel is housing that banquet. Have our people keep a close eye on things and tell the manager not to let any suspicious people slip in.""I've investigated the venue, and there's a catch."

    "Go tell them that I've agreed to this meal. I also hope they can show me their sincerity," Drake added."Understood." Kale quickly relayed the message to the Trennery family.Meanwhile, Debra was busy preparing for the party.This fashion gala was prestigious internationally. She was eager to meet the organizer of such a big event."What do you think of my dress?" Liza twirled in front of her.Preoccupied with plans for the party, Debra commented without looking up, "It looks great."Liza snapped her fingers. "Hey, don't brush me off."Debra looked up at her black gown and said, "It looks good, seriously."Liza pouted and turned to look at herself in the mirror. She had always wanted to attend such a party."Mrs. Houston, the staff you requested is ready." Kale walked in with a group of bodyguards.Each was dressed in a black suit and sunglasses. Their posture was imposing.Debra surveyed them. "Good. They look quite reliable.""You're bringing people?" Liza was puzzled.

    "Miss Eaton, our events are held in high-end venues, with a strong focus on privacy. That's why all the ladies must wear blindfolds when getting into the car," the driver explained.Liza didn't buy it. "Are you kidding me? What if it ruins my makeup? What's going through the organizer's head? I don't care. I'm not wearing one of those. It's not like we could remember the route."The driver forced a smile. "We understand, Miss Eaton. Since you're invited, you must be a well-known lady in the circle. If you don't wish to wear a blindfold, we'll just block out the windows in the car.""That's more like it," Liza hummed, dragging Debra into the car.It was then that Debra noticed something odd. The car's windows were specially tinted, not just from the outside but also from the inside. They couldn't see outside, and nobody could see in.The organizer was very thoughtful.Debra had planned to see if Drake's men were following them, but this arrangement made it impossible.She wasn't

    "They say this banquet happens every three years. Only real socialites who pass a rigorous screening can attend. You know, this international brand is super famous in our circles. It's luxury at its finest. Ladies invited to this event must be between 18 and 25 years old. If you're over 25, you can't enter. And there are strict rules about height, weight, and figure," Liza introduced.She was always eager to attend these kinds of banquets.But Debra's attention was on the crowd. She noticed everyone else was wearing black dresses, making her stand out in her white dress."Are you listening? I'm giving you a crash course here.""Yeah. Keep going."Debra glanced around the venue, trying to spot Drake's men. Sure enough, she saw several men in black patrolling outside. The Lowe family crest on their uniforms reassured her.But soon, a wave of worry crept in because this hotel was owned by the Sharp family. Conrad was a profit-driven opportunist who would switch sides if it benefitte

    The hotel manager was just a lackey of the Sharp family.Normally, Drake would never tolerate such actions."Debra is there. If we make a scene, she might blame me for ruining her plan," Drake replied, glancing at his watch.It was eight o'clock. At the latest, the party would end by 11.He ordered, "Keep your people on watch. If anything happens inside, have them rush in immediately. If anyone suspicious enters, send them in. If no one's out by 11, smash the hotel.""Yes, boss."...At the hotel, the socialites walked the red carpet, attracting reporters to snap pictures.Such parties always made it to newspapers and magazines and might even show up on international news.Debra, in her mermaid gown, was the center of attention. Liza realized that everyone else was wearing black gowns, while only Debra stood out.Liza whispered, "You're the lucky dog, the star among us.""Star? I don't think so," Debra replied."Anyway, lucky you. You're the woman of the hour," Liza muttere

    Juan unconsciously twisted the ring on his finger."Found it!" Randy shouted.Everyone moved toward where he was pointing. There was an old iron chain. Below the chain was something indiscernible, but it looked creepy."Try your might," Garland said, stepping forward.Together with Randy, he tugged at the iron chain. The chain grew tauter, and the ground in front of them began to shift, revealing a hole about three square meters in size.Liza hid behind Debra, unsure of what was lying ahead. "What is that?"The place seemed untouched for ages and smelled ancient."Isn't it obvious? It's a pit," Erica said. "It's normal to have pits when digging mountains, but the Potter family isn't building a subway down there, so why this pit?"Debra said, "Let's go down and see.""Behind me," Marion said, taking her hand.He pulled out a flashlight and led the group to descend the old stairs. Debra noticed the stairs on both sides and a slide in the middle, with faint wheel tracks still vi

    "It's fine. You just need to find the location of Fire."Garland asked, "What is that?""In the human body, the heart symbolizes fire," Debra explained. "This place is surrounded by mountains and water, making it an ideal location."Erica bent down to examine the diagram on the ground. "Is it here?"She pointed to the south, where the mountain range was gone, replaced by a clear, unobstructed mountain path.Evidently, the mountain moved by the Potter family was the Fire position."But that doesn't make sense," Liza muttered, feeling a chill run down her spine. "There's nothing but barren land. Could it really be underground?"The ground was in ruins. It was unlikely anything could be beneath it.Marion thought for a moment. "Let's go down and take a look.""How?" Randy shivered, afraid they'd ask him to go down first.Erica chimed in, "I don't think the Potters would be foolish enough to leave the treasure unguarded. There's no way they'd let us walk right in without resistan

    "Sounded like mystical gibberish," Erica echoed.Debra strode to a nearby patch of grass, picked up a stone, and began drawing symbols on the ground.She explained, "Three solid lines represent Heaven, and three broken lines represent Earth."Immediately, two opposing symbols appeared on the ground.She continued to draw. "This solid line is the positive pole, and this broken line is the negative pole." "Is this a trigram?" Randy asked."Thunder rises like a bowl. Mountain inverts are like a cup. The lake is broken above, and the wind is broken below," Debra said as she drew the remaining trigrams.Marion quickly figured it out. "That's our true heiress of the Frazier family."The Frazier family was known for their scholarly wisdom and military strategy. A century ago, they were legendary figures.Debra looked at the trigrams and said, "When I was little, I had to learn everything. I wasn't an expert in ancient texts, but I had a basic understanding of them. The trigrams are

    After half an hour of driving into the mountains, everyone was exhausted."Damn!" Randy yelped, his voice jolting everyone awake.The car made a sharp turn and came to a halt. Everyone screamed, and it took a while for them to calm down.Liza grumbled, "Can you even drive? If not, let me take over.""Did the tire blow out?" Erica wondered aloud.She opened the door and got out, followed by Randy and the others.Erica inspected the tires and frowned. "The car can't go any further. There's a huge rock. Quite dangerous."Randy grumbled, "Looks like Andrew doesn't even bother to maintain his property."Erica rolled her eyes. "Well, there is an iron gate. Only the Potter family members are allowed in. According to Andrew, no one has been here for years. Who would bother clearing the road?""True." Randy walked to the side and saw that the road ahead was covered in loose stones, probably fallen from the surrounding mountains."I thought they had leveled the mountains. Clearly, not

    The journey into the mountains was unlikely to be peaceful.Marion sensed her unease and took her hand in his. "Don't worry. I'll bring enough people to ensure everyone's safety.""Alright." Debra nodded.Precaution was indeed necessary.That night, she knocked on Andrew's door."Come in," came his calm voice from inside.She pushed the door open and saw Andrew playing chess under the dim glow of a single lamp."Andrew," she started."I know." Andrew lifted his gaze and said, "You're eager to find out who's behind all this."Debra paused. "Is the treasure really hidden in that mountain?""I don't know.""You don't?""That mountain was leveled by my ancestors decades ago. They spent five years on the project, but after that, the land was left untended and eventually became overgrown. Now, it's nothing more than an ordinary mountain trail. I've sent people to search for it before, but they found nothing.""So, you suspected all along that this mountain might be hiding someth

    Debra noticed everyone's eyes had settled on her.She asked, "Remember those ledgers?""Yeah. The ledgers only contained numbers alongside regular inventory records," Erica replied.Debra mused, "If those four ledgers truly hide a treasure map, could those numbers represent geographical coordinates?"Erica shook her head. "But there are so many numbers. How could it be..."Marion cut in, "It's possible."Randy tilted his head. "How so?"Marion explained, "31°N and 120°E mark Seamar City's position relative to the equator, but Seamar City has more precise coordinates."Debra said smoothly, "Seamar City spans from 120°52' to 122°12' east longitude and 30°40' to 31°53' north latitude. Don't the numbers 30 and 120 seem familiar?"Erica clapped her hands. "Those numbers appeared repeatedly in the ledgers. They were highlighted in red.""What if they correspond to coordinates centered around Seamar City's downtown?" Debra said."30... 120..." Erica murmured, her finger tracing the

    While the others might not know Debra's uniqueness, Andrew certainly did."Sir, shouldn't we thank Mr. Nichols?" Barton said."It's best not to contact him at this time." Andrew shook his head. "The mastermind wants to reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Why not grant his wish and find the treasure?""But if we do that, won't Seamar City fall into chaos?""Seamar City is already in chaos. I'll set off another fire."...Debra and the others returned to the Potter Mansion.Barton greeted them, holding old scrolls covered in dust."Where are you going with all that?" Erica asked wonderingly.Barton glanced at the scrolls in his hand and said, "These are maps of the old city area from decades ago. Mr. Andrew Potter said they need to be aired out to remove the musty smell, so I took them out, planning to air them tomorrow morning.""Maps of the old city area?" Garland curiously remarked. "Can I take a look?""Come on. They're so dirty," Liza chimed in."You don't unders

    In the office of Donaldson Corporation, Vickie was fuming.She complained, "Juan never intended to help me. He was just pretending to switch sides. Boss, this mess was all because of him."She pointed at Juan, who frowned with displeasure.Across from her was a man sitting behind the desk. His posture was straight in a sharp suit, but his face was covered with a white mask, making it impossible to read his emotions.He croaked, "Is that so?"Juan sneered, "Such a petty scheme was never going to shake Debra's standing. She has Marion and Andrew by her side. As long as those two are alive, the McKinney Group will remain untouchable, standing strong against us."He turned his gaze toward Vickie and added, "No offense, but she's useless. Aside from bearing a slight resemblance to Debra, she has nothing of value."Vickie glared at Juan, seething with rage. She wanted to lash out but dared not go out of line in front of the masked man."I think you're just hung up on Debra," she snor

    On the big screen, a comparison of Vickie's before-and-after photos appeared. The details were thorough with her initial consultation, follow-up appointments, and the final results of her plastic surgery.It also included information about Vickie's so-called adoptive father. This proof was solid.A reporter stood up and asked, "A recent article from New Age has been accused of containing false information. Mrs. Houston, was this article published under your instruction?"Garland tried to get up and clarify, but Debra beat him to it.She replied calmly, "That article was written by a friend of mine. He was too eager to clear my name to verify the content. It was provided by a third party and later proved to be a trap. If anyone wishes to know the details, you may approach me after this press conference. I will provide you a copy and let you see their filthy tricks."Another journalist followed up, "Mrs. Houston, how can you prove that you are the real heiress?""Vickie claimed to
