Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1198
Theda took her seat and continued, "I didn't come right away because I was waiting for someone. As everyone knows, Mr. Nichols' shares are not in my hands. So, I was waiting for the share transfer agreement to be handed over to me. Only then can the ceremony be perfect, right?"Just then, someone knocked on the door.Theda said, "Come in."Robert entered and handed a folder to her."What took you so long?""Sorry.""Never mind."What mattered was that the agreement was now in her hands.She opened the folder, and inside was a thick stack of papers.The first page was blank. She frowned and flipped it over until she saw a big, glaring turtle drawn on it.Her face turned dark. She continued to flip through the papers quickly, surprised to find that the turtle had transformed into an animated gif. Then a fist appeared next to the turtle, and the middle finger was slowly raised toward it."What's this? Where did you get this file?" she huffed.Melody gave no heed to Theda's com

The shareholders exchanged uneasy glances.If it had been anyone else, they might have brushed it off.But this was Drake.They all thought back to the extravagant banquets he had hosted in Seamar City. Many of them had attended, leaving evidence in Drake's hands.If they offended him, he might leak those videos online. Their reputation would be ruined.Melody sneered, "Debra, have you lost your mind? He's just someone from Orkgate. How far could his influence reach? We have appointed Theda as the next CEO. What's your game to stir up trouble here?""That's just a decision. If everyone agrees, we can still revoke it. Isn't that right, everyone?" Debra argued, sweeping her gaze over the room.Those shareholders were as silent as the grave.Melody laughed sarcastically, "Debra, are you crazy? Theda's appointment has already been finalized. Why would we revoke it? Even if Drake holds 45% shares, so what? Without more than 50%, he has no right to remove the CEO.""Don't be so quic

"Well, that's thanks to you, Ms. Buchan," Debra grinned. "If you hadn't given me the agreement, things wouldn't have been so smooth.""What?" Melody caught the keyword and questioned Theda, "You gave her the share transfer agreement? What were you thinking?"She tried to hit Theda, but Robert rushed inside the room and blocked her.Theda looked her in the eye. "Melody, I still hold 10% shares. You better think twice before laying a hand on me.""Ingrate!" Melody spat. "If I hadn't transferred those shares to you, you wouldn't even be standing in this room. You traitor!"Theda was in no mood to argue with her. "Robert, escort Mrs. Nichols Sr. out. She no longer has a place in this company. Send her back to enjoy her retirement.""Yes, ma'am," Robert responded, dragging Melody out of the room.Theda turned to face Debra. "Mrs. Houston, that was a clever move, giving away your stocks just like that. You won, but don't celebrate too early. Trusting others like this isn't always a go
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1201
"No," Joe replied.What was done was done. The shareholders had unanimously voted out Theda. The company was now under Drake's control."Good," Debra said, turning to Ivan. "Let's go."Ivan followed behind her, still in disbelief. With just a few words, she had swayed the shareholders.Now the Nichols Group was firmly in Drake's hands.Randy was lounging in the car, lazily yawning. When he saw Debra and Ivan approach, he quipped, "Took you long enough. All sorted?""Yes.""Wonderful!""Yeah. And I've figured out who was threatening Ivan with his family."Ivan jerked up his head, skeptical about it."You know who it was?""I don't know who's pulling the strings, but the one who told you to act must be Robert."Ivan's brows knitted together. He didn't expect her to suspect Robert."What's wrong? You don't think so?""I don't know.""Your expression says you know something about the mastermind. Don't tell me you're still hiding things from us?"Ivan lowered his head. "I re

"Let's get ready and head to Seamar City," Drake said."Now?" Kale hesitated. "But what about here?"There were moles among them. If they left now, those lurking in the shadows might attack the Lowe Group."A few days won't matter," Drake replied, adjusting his tie. "I have to show up as the new president of the Nichols Group."He had been waiting for a chance like this for years. Finally, he got a hold of a force in Seamar City that could rival Marion.Kale nodded. "I'll book the flights then.""Oh, and make sure to have reporters meet us at the airport," Drake added. "I want everyone in Seamar City to know that I am now a force to be reckoned with.""Got it," Kale replied, puzzled by his enthusiasm.After all, this position was bought with money. There was nothing to be bragged about....Debra and Randy returned to the Potter Mansion.Several captives were tied up in the living room. At that point, Erica's high heel was pressing against one of them.She demanded, "Who se
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1203
"Just let them go like that? That's too lenient." Randy shook his head as he watched the group walk away.Debra replied, "They're just workers taking orders. They didn't complete their mission, so there was no money for them. And they got beaten up. Keeping them here is meaningless.""Fair point." Randy nodded.Debra turned to Marion. "Are you hurt?""Not at all." Marion spread his arms wide for her to check. "They couldn't even reach me."Randy mimicked their interaction as he turned to Erica."Are you hurt? Let me check.""What do you think? Just a bunch of weaklings.""Aren't you invincible?""That's right."Barton entered the room and said, "Mrs. Houston, Joe is here."Joe stepped inside. "Mrs. Houston.""What's the matter?" Debra asked, unsure of the situation.She had just left the office, and Joe came to see her. It couldn't be anything good."Mrs. Nichols Sr. would like to see you," Joe replied.Erica stepped forward. "Debra is part of the Houston family now. We

"This way, please." Barton gestured.Joe conceded, "Okay. I'll negotiate with Mrs. Nichols Sr."...In the Nichols Mansion, Melody received the call."What? Marion is coming too?" she spluttered.Marion had always been at odds with them. Then he married Debra, making the Nichols family a laughingstock.She'd never let him set foot in her house."Madam, please bear with it," Joe said.If they didn't let Marion in, the talk with Debra was out of the question.Melody took a deep breath. "Fine! Let him in."A little humiliation was nothing if she could regain control of the Nichols Group.Sophie came up to pour a cup of tea for her."Take it easy, Madam. Anyway, Mrs. Houston is better than an outsider.""Theda took my shares and defied me. If only I had another grandson, things wouldn't have been like this."Theda took her shares, and Debra dismissed Theda. It was a double blow.Sophie sighed, "If she hadn't divorced Mr. Nichols back then..."Melody snorted, "You think we s

"What do you mean?" Debra said."I don't want those things anymore. They're all yours," Melody explained. "But you must return those shares.""Are you sure you understand the situation?" Debra asked. "My shares are worth far more than a hundred chests like yours. You're letting greed cloud your judgment.""I..." Melody faltered.She certainly knew the worth of the shares, but this was already her best offer."Those shares were given to you by Juan. Don't you care about his feelings?" Melody argued, glancing at Marion.He met her gaze, and she quickly looked away. "You didn't spend a single dime on the shares. My jewelry should be enough for your appetite.""You see, Juan willingly transferred the shares to me. I didn't force him," Debra reasoned. "It's a done deal. As for your treasures, I've kept them long enough. You're welcome to redeem them anytime.""I..." Melody's face darkened.With Juan absent, she didn't have enough money to reclaim those items. Worse still, the share

Debra's eyes narrowed at this guy she'd never heard of.Michael had kept it under wraps, proving he had never fully trusted her."Mrs. Houston," Jason said, "I'm here for Mr. Austin to negotiate. He called this shareholder vote in the name of the biggest stakeholder. He's got the right to kick it off. Any objections?"Debra plopped into the head chair. "Cut the polite crap. Everyone's here. Objections or not, this vote's happening, right? No way it's that simple.""Mrs. Houston," Jason said coolly, "today's vote's straightforward: who's better suited as the McKinney Group CEO, you or Mr. Austin? Everyone here sees what you both bring. In the past two years, you've barely shown up. Mr. Austin ran the show, held a key role, and raked in profits. He's the clear pick for CEO.""So, you're saying I suck as the boss?" Debra shot back.Michael didn't even show, sending this random assistant instead. That already pissed her off.Now this guy's veiled jabs annoyed her even more."I'm ju

Debra's heart sank.Back when she'd teamed up with Michael, she had nothing, offering him Frazier Entertainment shares to seal the deal. Later, Frazier Entertainment merged into the McKinney Group, and she handed it off to him.To keep her identity hidden, she'd tossed him more shares. With Frazier Entertainment, he'd racked up 30%.She'd thought he deserved it. For two years, he'd run the show plenty. She'd never seen this coming."Madam, you there?" Ben's voice shook.This was huge and should stay quiet. Otherwise, the company would fall into chaos.Debra's blood ran cold. She hadn't expected Michael to go so far."I'll be there soon," she said, hanging up.She turned to Marion. "Michael scooped up loose shares. He's gunning for a vote as top shareholder."Over 40% wasn't half, but it made him the biggest player. Calling a vote was his right.Debra only had 40%. If 10% of the rest sided with Michael, he could oust her."Don't sweat it," Marion said. "We'll hit it together.

That shut everyone up.If Jordan was right, Drake was gambling with his neck."That's too risky. I've gotta drag him back." Debra spun to leave.Erica grabbed her. "Jordan's guys are on it. They'll ping us if they find him. You can't go out like this and become their target.""I'm not their focus anymore," Debra said. "They'll zero in on Drake."She looked at Marion. "Get your people searching. We need his trail fast, or he's dead."Once the Illuminati squeezed the stone's location out of Drake, they'd kill him.Orkgate was now controlled by Lara. Drake had no other value for them."On it," Marion said.They split up. Erica and Randy tapped their networks."Debra, don't freak," Jordan said. "Drake is not dumb. Injured like that, he couldn't have gone far. As long as he keeps that secret, they won't kill him."Debra nodded. "Hope he doesn't do anything stupid."She should've seen it coming. A proud guy like Drake couldn't handle being down for so long.His injuries were bru

Outside their room, Drake froze mid-knock.His head was down, and his expression was hidden. Eventually, his hand dropped, and he sighed.He turned around and shuffled downstairs, leaning on the wall. He was a broken mess now, unwilling to drag them down....Debra woke up the next morning, reaching for Marion.He wasn't there. She bolted upright, threw off the covers, and ran barefoot downstairs, shouting, "Marion?"In the hall, Marion and Jordan turned as she stumbled in, still in her pajamas.Marion rushed up, slipping off his slippers for her. "What's with the panic?""I didn't see you." She heaved a sigh of relief. "Thought you'd...""Any luck?" Jordan asked Kale, who'd just walked in.Kale shook his head. "Not yet.""What's up?" Debra asked, clocking everyone's grim faces."Drake's gone," Marion said. "No note, nothing. We're looking.""Did the cameras catch anything? Could it be the Illuminati...""Not them. He walked out himself.""Why the hell would he just up a

Debra jolted awake from a nightmare, her forehead slick with sweat."Still torn up about Michael?" Marion's voice came from beside her.She settled into his arms, finally feeling a little relieved. These past two months, they'd faced everything alone. She hadn't curled up with him like this in forever."It's my fault," she whispered. "If I hadn't trusted Michael so much, the Eaton family wouldn't have been a mess. Mr. Eaton Sr. wouldn't have been in the hospital.""It's your fault," Marion said, patting her back. "Even without your trust, the Illuminati would've found a way in. That was their goal.""I just can't wrap my head around why Michael's one of them," she said.She'd spent all night recalling the past, from meeting Michael to building the McKinney Group with him. He was key to its success, but everything had been a lie."Maybe he was never with us," Marion said. "The Illuminati's everywhere. Didn't you check his background when you teamed up?""I..." Debra faltered.S

"We're all in it for ourselves." Michael shrugged. "Jeffery did his part for the Illuminati, so I'll cut you some slack.He pushed the teacup to Juan. "But I don't buy it that you're all-in. Following in Jeffery's footsteps sounds nice, but you killed him, which shows your ruthless nature. We need people like you. I don't care if you're Debra's mole or chasing your angle. Save your energy. It's pointless. Just do your job and back us up. I won't say a word about it.""Should I thank you for it?" Juan scoffed.He'd thought Michael was forced into it, but now he saw how naïve that was.Though young, Michael was already a core member, suggesting his connection to the Illuminati dates back a long time.Only intelligent and influential ones could enter the core circle. That meant he hadn't defected midway.Michael sat down across from him. "Don't look at me like that. We're not the same, and you know it.""When'd you turn on Debra?" Juan asked."Doesn't matter," Michael said, smilin

It was true they were both members of the Illuminati, but Fermin never signed up to be a lapdog.Back then, he'd teamed up with them for mutual gain. But the Illuminati wanted more than a partnership. They wanted the Eaton family on a leash.When Fermin didn't bite, Michael added, "I saw Miss Eaton crying her eyes out. We go way back. Should I cheer her..."Before he could finish, Fermin's knife flashed to his throat, nicking him. Blood trickled, but it was just a scratch."Stay away from her," Fermin growled. "Touch her, and I'll end you.""I'm just being nice here," Michael chuckled. "But if you're not cool with it, I'll drop it. But those terms? Think twice. We only help our own. If you keep playing your own game, that heart goes elsewhere. And trust me, you won't find another match."Fermin hated to admit it, but Michael was speaking the truth. Without the Illuminati's help, he couldn't find a match for Bert's heart.He lowered the knife. "Fine, it's a deal. Get your people

She only had Fermin and Bert left in this world.She had no mom and no real friends. She couldn't lose Bert or watch Fermin turn into this.She didn't want Debra's crew hurt either.Fermin pulled her into a hug. "Don't worry. Dad will be fine. I'll make sure of it."His promise unleashed her tears. The hospital hallway echoed with her cries.Once she calmed down, Fermin had someone take her away.A guard stepped up. "Mr. Eaton, our master is waiting ahead.""You've tailed me this whole way," Fermin said coldly. "Gonna keep it up? I don't like shadows."The guards stayed silent, just following orders. If their boss said stick to Fermin, they'd die before leaving his side."Loyal dogs to your master," Fermin scoffed, brushing past them.He walked into an empty ward. A tall figure in a white shirt stood by the window."You've really opened my eyes," he said, surprised."I'm flattered, Mr. Eaton," Michael said, turning around.His crisp white shirt had dried bloodstains. Notic

Liza rushed to the ICU upon receiving the news.A bodyguard stopped her. "Mr. Eaton said no one gets near the room and disturbs the patient's rest."Liza smacked him, and he bowed his head.Her eyes were red, her vibe darker than ever. "That's my dad in there. Why can't I go in? Move!""Mr. Eaton forbids it. Please, don't make things hard for us," the bodyguard said, stuck.No one there dared to defy her. They all knew how much Fermin doted on her."I don't care," she snapped. "Step aside, or I'll have my brother skin you alive. Let's see if you still block me."Her threat chilled him. She might be bluffing, but Fermin wouldn't."What's the ruckus?" Fermin's voice cut through."Mr. Eaton." The bodyguard bowed his head."Didn't I tell you no one gets near?" Fermin's tone dripped danger.Coming with him was a group of elite guards. The bodyguard was daunted by their aura.Liza stepped forward. "Dad is in a bad condition. Why wouldn't you let me see him? Does this have anythin
