Chapter 1169

Author: Cozy Season
In the restaurant's private room, Drake glanced at his watch. It was already 9:15.

Over an hour had passed, and he still had no idea what was going on at the party.

"Mr. Lowe, with Mrs. Houston's and your support, Ivan will have a bright future. Let me offer you another toast," Grover said enthusiastically.

Drake only found him loquacious.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He looked down and saw a number flashing on the screen. The contact was not saved, but he knew the number all too well.

As soon as he answered the call, Marion's anxious voice came through.

"The party is a trap. Get your people inside now."

"What?"

The air around Drake instantly turned cold.

Grover noticed the change in his expression and asked, "Mr. Lowe, what's going on?"

Drake abruptly grabbed him by the neck, seething. "You old fool, how dare you play tricks on me? If anything happens to Debra, your family will be buried with her."

He grabbed his coat from the back of his chair and barked at Kale, "Get the car

    Before the four bodyguards could move, Debra shouted, "Cathryn, the rules of the game only say the hunters can chase, but it never said the bodyguards could join in."Cathryn snorted, "I made the rules. I can change them as I like. Grab her!""Yes, ma'am." The four bodyguards charged at Debra.She took a few steps back and said, "Have you thought about the consequences?"The bodyguards didn't flinch. She continued, "How much did Cathryn pay you? I can double it."But they were not swayed.Cathryn laughed out loud, "Stop wasting your breath. No one is going to help you tonight. You're dead meat."As the four bodyguards closed in, Debra took a deep breath, ready to fight.Unfortunately, the staircase was too narrow for her movements. Within minutes, she started to sweat.Just then, a figure appeared in front of her, kicking the hunters rushing up the stairs back down. He grabbed Debra's hand and pulled her toward the exit, with the bodyguards hot on their heels."If this goes o

    The door was booted open, and the security guards were sent flying. The sudden commotion caused the masked attendees on the second floor to scatter in panic.Cathryn snapped her head toward the source of the noise. Standing at the entrance was none other than Marion. His white shirt and face were stained with blood.Cathryn hadn't expected to see him again, but where love once filled her eyes, now only hatred remained."Kill them all!" she screamed, her voice echoing through the hall.The hunters charged toward the entrance, but they were quickly overwhelmed as a wave of reinforcements poured in. One by one, the hunters were knocked to the ground.A line of black-suited bodyguards marched into the hall, forming two imposing rows.Drake strode in, his boot pressing down on one of the fallen hunters. He reached down and yanked off the man's mask, revealing an unremarkable face beneath.He snarled, "How dare you stir up trouble on my turf?"The hunters trembled. "We're just hired

    "Marion...""Tell your people to find her. I have something to take care of.""What could be more important than finding Debra?"Marion's eyes glinted with coldness. "Whoever hurts her won't get away with it."When he arrived on the fifth floor, everyone else scattered in panic.Cathryn stood her ground, yelling, "You ruined my plans over and over again. Is Debra so important that you ignore your injuries and come to save her?"At some point, Debra had crept to her side."The game's over," Debra said, a bit breathless.As soon as Cathryn turned around, Debra slammed her to the ground.Cathryn couldn't match Debra's strength. She was easily pinned down."Is playing with life fun for you? Do you get a thrill from killing? This time, I won't show mercy because of Marion and your connection. Tell me everything you know. Don't try anything stupid," Debra said, knowing this was Cathryn's last desperate struggle.Everything that happened tonight wasn't something Cathryn could've or

    Marion rushed over to check on Debra, who was lying on the ground.After making sure she was uninjured, he heaved a sigh of relief. "You scared the hell out of me.""I'm sorry. I miscalculated."Cathryn was frustrated about their interaction. "You will never get the answer from me."With a bitter laugh, she stepped back, tilted her head back, and fell from the fifth floor.The crash startled Drake, who was still searching for Debra. There, Cathryn lay in a pool of blood.The scene reminded Drake of Yvonne, who had died in the same way.Maybe in their minds, suicide was a way to make the men they loved feel regret and sympathy.But in reality, it only earned them cold contempt. No one would pay attention to those who didn't even value their lives.A woman's scream suddenly rang out. Drake looked over with a frown."Boss, this woman is suspicious," reported a guard, dragging over the woman."Get your hands off me. I am Liza Eaton," she snapped, shaking off his hand.The bod

    Liza pushed against Drake, tears streaming down her face. She didn't notice that with every word she spoke, his expression grew paler.Hunter's Game. The name hit too close to home. Games like this left few survivors. There was no way a weak woman like Debra could last two hours.She had found a safe zone but ran off to draw fire. Only a stupid person would do something like that."Find her!" Drake growled, barely suppressing his anger. "Tear this place apart if you have to, but find Debra."Liza collapsed to the floor, trembling. She never imagined she'd face something so terrifying in her life. Her world had been perfect, with all the glitz and glamour. She had no idea it could be so dark and horrifying."Found her!" someone shouted from upstairs.Marion appeared, carrying someone in his arms. Debra was draped in his coat, exhaustion etched on her face."Debra..." Drake started to move toward her but stopped.Debra tapped Marion's shoulder. "Put me down. I can walk now.""Al

    Drake wanted to argue, but Debra simply wrapped her arm around Marion's neck and waved him goodbye.Downstairs, Liza glanced at Cathryn's body. Her former friend was now disfigured and lifeless. After a moment of hesitation, she tore off the black veil from her dress and went over to cover Cathryn's face.She had once considered Cathryn her only true friend, but Cathryn had never cared about her.Liza couldn't help but feel sorrow, but there was no point in holding onto resentment. She wiped her tears and followed the others out of the venue.Watching them leave, Drake fumed. "They just left like that? Why should I stay and clean up this mess? Is that fair?""Boss, it's not fair. We should..." Kale chimed in.Drake shot him a cold glance. "And what about here? What about the people we've captured? Do you think these idiots can handle it?"Those guards were ashamed, further lowering their heads.Drake tugged at his tie in frustration. He hated wearing it, especially when he was

    Conrad realized his blunder and quickly corrected himself. "I really didn't know, I swear. I've been loyal to you for so many years.""Loyal?" Drake snorted. "Well, if you're so loyal, why don't you go down and keep your daughter company? Die for your cause.""What?" Conrad was shocked. "No matter what, I'm the head of the Sharp family. You can't do this to me. Aren't you afraid of me exposing your deeds?""You could try," Drake sneered, spreading his arms. "Go ahead and expose everything. Let's see if you're quicker than my bullet."Conrad hesitated, and Drake continued, "If you tell me who you've been working with, I might spare your life. The choice is yours. Think carefully before you answer."That was extra lenience. In the past, Conrad would have been dead even if he was willing to speak.Conrad gritted his teeth and raised his head. "There was no one else, just Miss Bernard."Drake's smile faded. "Is that so?""Now that I'm in your hands, do whatever you like. You're the

    "I know you hate Conrad. If you ever get the chance to kill him, I hope you won't.""You've never been in my shoes. Don't preach to me about what's right. Do you think just because he's my father, I should spare him?""I'm not asking you to spare him. He's a beast, but you're human. Ruining your life for someone like him isn't worth it unless you think your life has lost all its meaning. If that's the case, killing him might bring you some relief. But I believe you still want to live. If you kill him on impulse, you'll regret it later.""What should I do then? Let him live as if nothing happened?""Who said staying alive is a blessing? Sometimes, living is the worst punishment."...Lara sneered at Conrad, who was eager to snatch the gun in her hand."Boss, I've made up my mind," she said. "I want him to live."Drake was surprised, but she continued, "I want him to live in hell."She then slashed Conrad's wrist with a knife, causing him to howl in pain."Hand over the Sharp f

    "What? Mrs. Houston would never do something like this. Maybe the car hit a nail on the road," replied the guard."What are you waiting for?" Melody sulked. "Get a car to send us back."It was a scorching summer day. She wouldn't just walk home like that.The guard hesitated. "I'm sorry, Madam. Mr. Andrew Potter took all the cars out today. There's nothing available to send you back."Melody's face darkened. "Are you telling me the Nichols family doesn't have a few cars to spare?"She was already upset about giving all her savings to Debra, and this incident was the last straw.The guard explained, "Mr. Andrew Potter is thrifty. I'm sorry, but you might have to walk about two kilometers to the commercial street to catch a ride. Mr. Andrew Potter likes his quiet, so no cars are allowed in this area."Melody was furious. "You did it on purpose."Erica came out of the house. "What are you talking about? We've always been polite to our guests. Well, there is one vehicle available,

    At the Potter Mansion, Melody laid everything she owned on the table."This is all my savings. When can I get that 10% share?" she asked.Debra was amazed by the dazzling collection of treasures. She clicked her tongue. "They say no one in Seamar City understands jewelry better than you. True that. Your lifetime's collection is breathtaking."Melody was not flattered at all. Her mood soured even further.Debra picked up a bracelet from the table. "Take this bracelet, for example. Its value must be millions. I have to say, an impeccable eye."Melody picked up the sarcasm in her tone. "Yes, these things are fine. But now, they're all yours."Debra set the bracelet down, her smile unwavering. "Well, business is business. I need some assurance before I can help you. Now that I've seen your collection, I feel much more at ease. Don't worry. You'll have your 10% share within seven days.""Why do I have to wait seven days?" Melody grumbled, dissatisfied.Debra sighed, "I don't want to

    Melody was weak, her breaths shallow."Joe has been waiting outside," Sophie said. "I'll let him in now."Joe came in and stood by the bed. "Madam, what can I do for you?""I plan to use all my savings to buy back the 10% shares.""Madam..."Joe hesitated, knowing what they were facing. If Melody did that, she would have nothing left."I've made up my mind. Help me up first.""Yes, Madam."Joe assisted her to stand. Melody slowly walked to the safe and used her fingerprint to open it. Inside, there was only a set of keys and a card.Melody took them. "Wait for me downstairs. We'll go to the vault in half an hour."Joe was taken aback. The vault was a secure storage facility for the rich, housing anything from jewelry to property deeds. It was said to be as secure as a national treasury, impossible to breach."Madam, are you planning to give all your money to Debra?" he asked."What else can I do?" Melody replied bitterly. "I can't let the shares fall into outsiders' hands."

    "Will you harm Debra?""Never.""Mark your words."Marion wrapped up the talk and left the room....Downstairs, Debra and Erica were chatting with Randy.When Marion came down, Randy muttered, "What took you so long? Drake's already gone."Marion hummed in response, uninterested in anything about Drake.Debra asked, "Did the conversation not go well?""Seriously?" Randy sighed. "Even you couldn't get Andrew to talk? That guy must have a mouth of steel.""Quit rambling nonsense." Erica gave him a light smack on the arm. "After all this chasing around, we still don't know what the treasure is.""At least we know one thing. Andrew knows the truth, right?" Debra chimed in, looking at Marion for confirmation.Marion sighed, "If he doesn't want to talk, no one can make it.""That's true," Randy muttered. "Honestly, who in this world has a tighter mouth than him? No wonder he works in intelligence. He could be the chief of the CIA.""Would you stop running your mouth?" Erica sc

    "You mean the Buchan family might use this as an excuse to remove Theda?" Erica asked."Their business wasn't big to begin with. It was Theda's skills that gave them status in Wrastow City. I heard Theda likes to go it alone and has offended many people. Those veterans aren't fond of her. Now that she's caused the Buchan family such losses and lost the Nichols family's support, the elders will want her out. To keep them quiet, she needs leverage," explained Debra.Erica stroked her chin. "So, Theda must repay the company's losses, or those veterans will use this as an excuse to remove her."Debra nodded. "Theda holds a 10% stake in the Nichols Group, but it's her personal asset. It doesn't benefit the Buchans. If she can't sell these shares to fill the deficit, the shareholders won't let it go. So, I'm sure when the news of the Nichols Group selling Buchan Entertainment at a low price reaches Wrastow City, the shareholders will demand Theda to pay for the losses.""Brillant! Let's

    "What do you mean?" Debra was confused.She turned to Randy and asked, "Didn't I tell you to pick them up? What's the 250 bucks?""He despised my car and called for a luxury ride. My car was right there in front of him, and the dispatch went to me," Randy explained.Erica grabbed his ear and asked, "When did you start picking up fares behind my back?""Ow, it hurts!" Randy yelped. "I'm just making a little extra money. I've helped Marion run errands a lot. Picking up someone along the way is nothing unusual.""Including girls?" she asked.Randy smiled obsequiously, "Well, it's the system dispatching. Sometimes I don't even know if it's a guy or a girl, but my front seat is reserved only for you."Erica let go of him. "That's more like it."Drake had no time for their banter."When can I take office?""Just wait a little longer.""Wait?""In 24 hours, I'll make sure you take office of the Nichols Group."Erica whispered to Randy, "I've never seen anyone so eager to start wo

    "Forget it," Marion chimed in. "I'll ask him when we get back."Among them, he knew Andrew best.Debra's phone suddenly rang, attracting everyone's attention.She held it up and said, "It's probably a scam call."Marion pressed the Answer button, and Drake's voice came through."Debra? Tell Marion to send someone to pick me up at Seamar City Airport."Randy almost slammed on the brakes. "Wasn't this supposed to be a scam call? Why is this guy here?""Randy?" Drake sneered over the phone. "Let this guy pick me up."He hung up, and Debra gaped at the screen. "Did he change his number?""No, you just never saved it," Marion replied....An hour later, at Seamar City Airport, Drake and Kale were still waiting."Boss, do you think Mrs. Houston is not coming?" Kale asked tentatively.Drake checked his watch. "Marion burned down my house. I haven't settled that score yet. Picking me up is the least he can do.""You're right, boss," Kale agreed.Soon, a black Cadillac pulled up

    Caleb asked, "What was recorded in those accounts? Do you remember?"Debra replied, "The accounts showed some strange discrepancies. The income and expenses for the Fraizer, Osborne, and Houston families didn't match up. There were big differences in food and goods records, with a combined loss of 1.2 million. Meanwhile, the Potter family gained the same amount that same year. Marion and I believed the three families were subsidizing the Potter family.""Subsidizing the Potter family," Caleb muttered in thought. "Let me think this over."Randy blurted, "What's there to think about? It's obvious. The Potter family's leader was obsessed with intelligence gathering and clueless about everything else. In the end, we had to cover for them."Erica smacked the back of his head. "Do you ever think before you speak? Look at Andrew now. Does he look like someone who doesn't know how to make money?""It doesn't mean his dad or ancestors were good at it," Randy retorted.While they were bick

    "I know my dad. If there was a family heirloom, he might have stacked it away," Randy said thoughtfully."Why?" Debra was puzzled.Randy shook his head. "Not everyone is like Marion's parents. They were true love to each other."Debra didn't get his meaning. Erica leaned in and whispered, "Randy's parents had an arranged marriage. They both had someone they liked.""I see," Debra murmured.It was just surprising that Randy turned out so carefree despite the situation in his family.Randy added, "I'll go home and ask my dad. If we find it, then we can confirm that the Nichols family took the gem from the Frazier family."Everyone nodded in agreement.Debra turned to Caleb. "Grandpa, you said these four rings are the symbols of the Four Great Families. What's the secret behind them? Is it the treasure of Seamar City?"Caleb sat down, recalling the past. "The treasure of Seamar City is just a legend. My father came here during the wars of the last century. The four families each
