Chapter 1424

Author: Cozy Season
Debra groggily opened her eyes, realizing it was a summer afternoon.

She jumped up from the rocking chair, her gaze fixed on the swing set not far away.

It felt like a dream.

"Ms. Frazier," Barton called out. "Mr. Andrew Potter sent me to ask why you haven't changed yet. It's your 18th birthday today. It's a big deal."

Debra panicked. "Oh no, I've slept in. Andrew's gonna lecture me again."

As she rushed away, Barton called after her, "Ms. Frazier, be careful. Don't trip."

"I know." Debra lifted the hem of her dress and sneaked through the back gate.

The maids were surprised to see her there.

Debra shushed them with a gesture and put her hands together. "Ladies, do me a favor. Don't make a sound."

The maids giggled and kept quiet. They all looked away, as if they hadn't seen her.

Just as Debra was about to sneak upstairs, someone suddenly grabbed her ear.

"Gotcha!"

"Knock it off, Jordan."

"Andrew won't be able to protect you this time. Now you're coming upstairs with me."

    "Randy?" Debra repeated. "Sounds familiar.""He visited a few times when we were kids," Erica replied."Oh, really?" Debra tried on a red dress in front of the mirror. "What do you think of this one?"Erica smacked her lips. "Well, it's nice, but you already have a bunch of red dresses.""I love red," Debra replied. "It's bold and beautiful, just like the red flowers in Andrew's garden.""How about this one?" Erica picked up a white gown.Debra blurted, "I hate white.""But you have a few white dresses too. White looks so good on you. It makes your skin look like porcelain." Erica was puzzled.Debra pouted. "Nah, white is for dead people.""Oh, come on. It's a happy day. Can't you say something nice?"Erica tossed the red dress back to Debra. "Wear your red dress.""I knew this one was the best." Debra held the dress up to herself, and the stylist giggled.Debra looked confused. "What's wrong? Doesn't this one look good?""Not really," the stylist replied. "It's just as Mr

    Jordan came downstairs. "Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, I need to report something. Debra slacked off this afternoon. She just woke up."Debra shot him a glare. "Whose side are you on?""Not yours," he grinned.Jordan's mother intervened, "Alright, don't bicker like kids. You're grown-ups now.""She's just dumb. Mr. and Mrs. Frazier are so smart, but she didn't inherit any of it.""What did you say? You're the dumb one.""You're dumb.""I'm not. You are dumb."...The four seniors listened to their back-and-forth and laughed.Dylan Potter said, "Once Debra's coming-of-age ceremony is done today, let her stay at our house for a few days. Now that they both have been admitted to Arcane Academy, it's time they get some good training."Gael nodded. "Good idea. I'm sure they'll learn a lot under your guidance.""I don't want to," Debra and Jordan objected in unison.They would rather do military training than end up under Dylan's strict control.Gael sighed, "You'll learn something use

    "Debra! You came to tattle on me, didn't you?" Jordan shouted, storming into the room.Barton appeared in the doorway soon after, panting, "I'm sorry, sir. I couldn't stop him.""Don't listen to her," Jordan said. "She fell asleep in the backyard."He pointed at Debra. "Admit it. You were slacking off."Debra felt wronged, looking at Andrew with puppy eyes. "I was just too tired, so...""So, you fell asleep." Jordan smugly crossed his arms. "I went through all that trouble to organize your birthday. I picked the cake and managed the kitchen, and you? You slacked off in the backyard. Do you even know how many people are coming today? There are no excuses. Andrew won't back you up on this.""Andrew..." Debra pouted, tugging at Andrew's sleeve.Andrew smiled and winked at Barton, who took the hint and grabbed Jordan by the ear."Sorry, Mr. Jordan Potter, please come with me," he said.Jordan was taken aback. "What are you doing? You've got the wrong person. Debra is the one at fa

    Debra perked up. "You can't take back a gift. Wait and see. I'll find you."She rushed back to her room.Jordan was supervising the cleaning. "Hey, we just mopped the floor. Are you doing this on purpose?"Debra ignored him. Finding the gift was her top priority.Erica, who had been looking for Debra, came to the third floor. Debra was on the floor, using her phone's flashlight to look under the bed."What are you looking for?" Erica asked. "We have less than two hours before the guests arrive. Come on, let's get you ready.""An hour is enough," Debra replied. "I'm looking for the gift Andrew prepared for me.""What gift? You've got enough already.""Andrew said a girl's coming-of-age gift has to be special and luxurious.""But everything he gives you is luxurious.""Andrew said as long as I'm happy, he'll give me anything.""Damn rich people."Debra had searched every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of the gift.Erica helped but gave up quickly.Half an hour later

    Erica pulled Debra out of the room. "Alright, my lady, it's time to get all dolled up. After today, you'll officially be an adult. Enjoy your last bit of childhood while you can."Debra had been looking forward to this day, but when it finally came, she felt a little melancholic.After this, she would become an adult, which meant no more being spoiled or throwing tantrums.Several big shots arrived for the party. Since the Frazier family's place wasn't as big as the Potter family's, they had decided to host the dinner at the Potter Mansion.The Potter Mansion had never been open to the public before, let alone hosting guests. It showed how much importance both families attached to Debra.A sleek car pulled up in front of the mansion. Jeffrey stepped out first and opened the car door for Claudia.In an aqua dress, the international film star grabbed everyone's attention as soon as she made her entrance.Jeffrey offered her his arm. Claudia smiled sweetly and linked her arm with h

    Fermin looked away, his ears turning red. "You look better than before.""What do you mean by that?" Debra huffed."Keep your voice down.""No way.""I'm out of here."Jordan quickly left the room.Erica patted her shoulder. "Alright, it's about time. Let's head downstairs."Debra pouted but soon realized she had a bigger problem."I can't walk.""Huh? You've never worn heels before?"Debra shook her head. She had focused on her studies and had no time for high heels."What should I do?""Just don't run around like you're wearing sneakers, okay?"...Downstairs, Juan arrived right on time.Most of the important guests were already there, including his parents, who were chatting with Gael."Juan, come here," Claudia called, waving him over.She said, "This is my son, Juan, and this is Mr. Frazier, the CEO of the Frazier Group.""Nice to meet you, Mr. Fraizer," Juan said, shaking hands with him."Likewise," Gael replied, impressed. "I've heard things about you. Your fa

    A spotlight shone down, and a flash of red caught Juan's eye.Debra's red dress was bold and eye-catching, but on her, it felt completely natural.Like any debutante, she looked a bit shy.Juan was captivated by her flawless features and refined temperament. She seemed to deserve every beautiful word in the world.An unexpected pang of pain struck his chest. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, like his heart was stolen."Thank you all for coming to my 18th birthday celebration. I've prepared a piano piece for everyone. I'm not great at the piano, but I hope you'll like it," Debra said shyly, casting her eyes downward.She walked over to the white piano and began playing a light, cheerful melody.The audience enjoyed the music. Only Juan kept staring at her, feeling increasingly sure he had seen her and had heard her music before. He just couldn't remember when.Erica murmured from a distance, "Hope she won't hit the wrong note. I supervised her practice all night.

    Andrew gathered his thoughts and got dressed. He opened his bedroom door to find Jordan standing outside, looking concerned."Are you okay?""I'm fine."Andrew reached out to pat Jordan's head, but in the end, his hand landed on Jordan's shoulder."Let's get down."Jordan couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with Andrew. Everything had been fine during the day, but now he seemed like a different person.In the banquet hall, Debra's high school friends were celebrating her birthday. After taking some group photos, Gael took her around to greet their family friends, proudly announcing that his beautiful daughter had come of age.Andrew watched with a gentle smile."Andrew." Debra spotted him from across the room, her eyes lighting up.Debra lifted the hem of her dress and trotted over.Erica saw her unsteady footsteps. "Hey, slow down,"When Debra reached Andrew's side, she was slightly out of breath."Do I look good today?""You look beautiful.""Why did you c

    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.

    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?
