Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1473
"Mr. and Mrs. Houston," Lara greeted, inviting them to take seats. "I know you two rushed here by plane. The food is ready. Let's eat and talk.""Sounds good," they replied.A maid came downstairs and handed a file to Lara. "Miss, here are the files you asked for."Lara nodded and handed the file to Debra."This is the batch of files you mentioned on the phone. I picked out what I thought you'd need.""Thanks.""No worries. If it weren't for you, I'd still be a maid in the Lowe family. You taught me how to take control of my destiny. I'll always remember that.""You made your own choices.""True, but without you, I wouldn't be the head of the Sharp family now."Lara had learned a lot from Drake, which helped her manage the Sharp family so well. Now that Drake was in trouble, she couldn't just sit by.Debra opened the file. It contained records of the Sharp family's financial dealings over the years, including some shady businesses and the favors they had done for the Lowe fam
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1474
"You don't know?" Lara was surprised. "Mr. Lowe came back a while ago but only stayed for two days. He left with a lot of documents. If it weren't for him to step in and clean up the mess, the city would still be chaotic."Debra chewed over her words, figuring Drake must have already realized something was off. His vigilance was impressive, and his intelligence had improved."Would you like to rest here for a couple of days?" Lara asked. "A lot of things have happened recently, but my place is safe enough. And there are other files you might want to check.""Thanks for your kindness, but we can't stay long," Debra declined.With Drake still missing, they couldn't afford any delay. His life might be hanging by a thread now.Lara didn't insist. "I understand. I'll have the files copied and sent to your phone.""Alright.""But there's a lot of material. It might take a while to review them.""It's fine."Before leaving, Debra suddenly turned back. "By the way, have you ever heard

"No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side. If you ever get tired, just lean on me. With me around, no one can hurt you," Marion reassured her."We promised to walk this path together. So, if you ever get tired, you can lean on me too." Debra looked him in the eye. "I am a woman, but I'm strong enough to protect you."Marion chuckled and tapped her nose. "Silly girl. But if that day ever comes, do you think I'd just watch you charge ahead?""Why not? Ever heard of that saying?""Women are any less than men?" "Exactly."The morning breeze turned Debra's cheeks pink, and she tightened her grip on Marion's hand."Are you afraid?" she asked him and herself as well.Back when she faced Jeffrey, she'd been scared. But knowing her friends were there gave her some comfort.Lately, though, her dreams had been different. She kept seeing those masked figures from the Jovial Hotel. The black curtains, the dim lights, the screams...She could only run from those hunters. It al

"One terabyte?" Randy gasped. "What's up with Lara sending all these files to Debra? Did she just give us all the records of her family? How am I supposed to go through all this?""What can we do?" Erica shrugged, polishing her nails. "You're the only one here with top-notch computer skills."She paused, looking at him. "Don't worry. I'll stay here with you. Debra and Marion need to investigate Drake's disappearance. He's been missing for 24 hours.""Yeah, but seriously, this is too much," Randy grumbled. "How am I supposed to find a needle in this haystack? Did Lara do this on purpose to slow us down?""Come on. She's just trying to help.""Can't say for sure. Debra's sharp as a tack, but Lara tricked her twice. What kind of person does that?"Erica stopped polishing her nails. "You might have a point there.""Right? I bet she's hiding something.""Maybe, but Lara is Conrad's love daughter. Before this, she was under Drake's thumb. Without Debra's help and Drake's support, she

At an underground casino, Drake hung limply in the air.His white shirt was soaked in blood, and his body was battered with no part left unscathed.A masked man walked in. He raised his hand, and someone put Drake down."Where did you hide it?" demanded the masked man, his voice cold and hoarse.Drake looked up. His bloodstained face twisted into a mocking smile. "Take a guess. If you get it right, maybe I'll tell you."The air was immediately charged with tension.The masked man held up two identical knives. His deep voice resonated. "I know you're a fan of gambling. See these two knives? One of them is real, and the other is fake. If the real knife goes in, it's the end of your life, and if the fake knife goes in, you'll have a chance to choose again. Want to take a pick now?"Drake's face hardened, and he continued, "You must be familiar with games like this."Before Drake could respond, the masked man shoved one of the knives into his left atrium. The knife was fake, so it

20 years ago, the streets overseas were cold.In the winter, people in slums died every day.They wore thin gray clothes, and when someone died, they'd strip the rotting coat from the body. Even if it wasn't cotton but just straw, it was enough to keep off a bit of the chill.His mother took Drake there illegally. She'd held him in her arms and squeezed into the bottom of the ship's hold, dreaming of reuniting with a man she'd once spent a few months with.But life there was far more complicated than they'd imagined. Drake still remembered how his mother had never even met his father. She'd been roughly shoved out of the gates by security.The villa was opulent, but those cold iron gates separated them from the life inside. That was not a place for people like them. They wouldn't even spare them a single dollar.Unwilling to give up, his mother yelled at the well-dressed woman inside, "Your husband and I have a child. He has the Lowe family's blood in his vines."She thought the

Young Drake made a bold statement, never knowing the price behind it.Shawn finally glanced at him, but Marion jumped out, calling him incapable.That was the first time Marion stabbed him in the back, but he didn't resent Marion.After all, everyone wanted a chance to climb up.In the end, Shawn let him stay. For a while, he imagined himself standing behind important figures, wearing a bodyguard uniform. But he had been too naïve.Shawn didn't want just any bodyguard. He needed enforcers who could clean up loose ends.He picked kids from the slums one by one. Then he locked them all in a dark, windowless dungeon. The training was brutal. Every inch of his body was covered in wounds.Marion tossed him the only bottle of medicine.Robert scoffed, "Leave him be. This isn't the place for him."But Drake would never go back to the slums. He would rather die.Of course, he knew why Marion and Robert had been chosen. With their skills, they were bound to be Shawn's most trusted men

"Are you going to confess or not?"A sharp voice reached Drake's ears. Through blurred vision, he saw someone pick up the whip again.His lips curved into a faint smile. "Come closer, and I'll tell you."The interrogation had already gone on for a day. No matter how tough someone was, they couldn't hold out any longer.The henchman smirked and stepped forward. Drake's voice was barely audible, but he had to go closer."That thing is in hell," Drake whispered, suddenly breaking free from the ropes that bound him.In the next instant, he snatched the whip and wrapped it around the henchman's neck.Then, like the first time he killed someone, he pulled back with all his strength.Both times were life-or-death situations. Despite his struggles, the henchman couldn't avoid his fate. In less than a minute, his life was choked out.Drake slumped onto the ground, feeling drained. That knife was still lodged deep in his chest.Suddenly, light footsteps came from outside the room.Dra

The Illuminati was so eager to take back the Jovial Hotel. Its significance to them was plain to see.Just then, a round of gasps interrupted her thoughts.Debra looked up and saw a woman in an elegant outfit descending from the second floor. Her beauty was undeniable, drawing the attention of many people."That's Mr. Trennery's goddaughter," Lara snorted.Grover was doing the same thing Conrad had done before, using his so-called goddaughter to lure in wealthy businessmen. It was disgusting.Yvonne had ended up jumping to her death. It was unknown how long this woman could hold up."Lexie, come here," Grover called out warmly.Lexie Trennery beamed. Her elegance was ethereal, and her pure innocence far exceeded Shelia's back in the day.The wealthy businessmen stared at her as if she were a perfect commodity on display.Lara frowned. "That bastard is planning to make a fortune off her tonight. Or maybe he wants to use her to gain power and influence."But then, the crowd's a

Lara also had a dark memory of the Jovial Hotel.That was where she had overthrown Conrad, but she managed to keep her composure on the surface.The hotel was still bustling with people coming and going. Debra held Lara's hand as they walked into the hotel.The pale moonlight cast a cool glow on Debra's face. People around them couldn't help but stare. Everyone knew about the troubles in Debra and Marion's marriage.Debra noticed the looks but kept a faint smile on her face. She knew too well these people were judging her, wondering how she would react to seeing Marion later.Grover stood at the hotel entrance, welcoming the guests. When he saw Debra and Lara, a smug look crossed his face.The last time they met, he wasn't important enough to stand with them. But now, he was the host of this grand banquet."Mrs. Houston, Ms. Sharp, long time no see. How have you been?" he greeted.Most of the other guests were to watch the fun. In the past, Debra would have been the center of a

Debra instinctively tried to open the bag, but Drake stopped her. "Open it when you get to Orkgate."Debra paused at his serious expression. "Alright."She took the bag and went upstairs.The trip didn't need much packing. The last time she had gone there, she had been with Marion.She quickly shook her head, trying to push him out of her mind, but the longing wouldn't go away. Back then, Marion had taken care of everything. All she had to do was trust him.By evening, she landed in Orkgate.A car was already waiting for her at the airport.Inside, Lara sat elegantly in a purple dress, looking even more refined than before."I've already arranged your accommodations. The Sharp family may not be as powerful as the Lowe family, but at least we can offer a decent place to stay.""I already spoke to Drake. I'll be staying at the Lowe Mansion tonight.""That's fine. But no one's been living there for a while. It hasn't been cleaned. I can send someone over now to take care of it b

Even though Jordan had put it mildly, Drake's pride was still injured.His name alone used to instill fear. The other big shots in Orkgate had to yield to him.But with Fermin's interference, the power dynamics had shifted. Although Drake had regained control of the Lowe family, they were facing reforms.Orkgate was now more chaotic than ever. On the surface, everything looked calm, but behind the scenes, there was a storm brewing. Everyone was eying the throne."I'll go back now," Drake said suddenly.Debra frowned. "Kale, stop him."Kale immediately stepped in to block him.Drake's expression darkened. "Your boss is me, not her.""Boss, you can't go out now," Kale said.The people from the Illuminati were probably waiting outside the villa for Drake to come out and step into their trap."Lara is still there," Debra chimed in. "The Sharp family has some influence in Orkgate now, and the Trennery family wouldn't dare to act recklessly. They couldn't be so stupid as to attack

In just three days, D&M had booked out all its spots for the next month.Even though it covered more than ten thousand square meters, it was still packed to the brim.A knock sounded at the door.Debra was in a good mood. "Come in."The door opened, and it was Jordan with a hesitant look.She realized that he'd seen the news. "Are you upset that I didn't tell you in advance?""You must have your reasons. I won't ask, and you don't have to say anything. But don't you think the club's name is a bit too obvious?" he replied. "Anyone could guess that it's related to you and Marion. If the Illuminati finds out, wouldn't everything you've done be for nothing?"Debra brushed it off. "It could be Drake and Marion."Right now, the news about her only focused on her romance with Jordan. Their cohabitation had been exposed, but neither of them had clarified anything.Jordan had thought she didn't care about the rumors. But now, it was clear that he had misjudged. Debra was dropping smoke

Drake turned and left the room, closing the door behind him.Debra then heard him locking the door. Her face darkened instantly.Clearly, that made her escape impossible.Kale stepped forward to support him. "Boss, what's the plan?""Debra wants to open a nightclub to go up against the Illuminati. She plans to gather customers and get more intel on the Illuminati," Drake replied. "It's a good idea, but she's never run a nightclub before and doesn't know the ins and outs. A new club can be easily targeted, and fights are constant, especially in chaotic places. She and Marion are in a cold war. He can't help her clean up the mess. We'll have to take care of it for her." Kale nodded. Though he hadn't liked Debra at first, after spending some time with her, he realized she was a righteous person.Drake continued, "I remember that some of our employees used to work in this line of business. Get them here and sort through them carefully. They have to be our people with decent looks."

"Take a guess," Debra grinned.Jordan sighed, "If you're just looking for some fun, I won't stop you. But you can't go overboard, alright?"Debra laughed, seeing that he was taking it seriously.It seemed that in just seven days, her reputation in Seamar City had become quite something. Word had spread that she was a flirt and was slowly letting herself go.Several partners were even trying to push male artists into her arms.She didn't see this as a bad thing. No one could resist handsome boys. That was right up her alley.After Jordan left, Ben called."Madam, we need to transfer another sum of money overseas today, about 30 million dollars.""Send it.""But in just seven days, we've already transferred 70 million dollars."Though it was Debra's decision, 100 million was no small amount for the company."Do as I say. Don't tell anyone about it. If we can't pay it back by the end of the year, I'll cover it myself.""Yes, ma'am."Debra hung up the phone and pulled out the

"Pacemaker. Increase the voltage." The sound of the doctor's urgent voice echoed in her ears.There was a lot of blood. She could feel it, and the sharp pain was attacking her mind.Debra felt disoriented. She thought she saw the operating room ceiling, bright lights blinding her eyes.Everything in front of her was blurry, like something that had happened in a past life.Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.A cold sweat ran down her back. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jordan sitting beside her.The house was calm and peaceful. Everything that had happened was just a dream.It had been a long time since she had such a nightmare. She didn't know if it was because Marion hadn't been by her side lately, but she couldn't shake the sense of unease.Jordan had soaked a towel in warm water and placed it on her forehead."Without Marion around, you just can't take care of yourself, can you?" he said."What's wrong with me?" Her voice was hoarse."You've got a fever, and y

"Debra, I can explain," Marion started.Debra cut him off. "There's nothing to explain between us. I know what you're about to say, but I don't want to hear it."She paused deliberately before adding, "You should know why I divorced Juan. I've told you before. If you ever betray or deceive me, I will turn around and walk away without a second thought."Marion didn't know how much of this he was taking in, but he didn't interrupt her.She continued, "From today on, we're done. I don't want to have anything to do with an emotionless killer. Don't waste my time. I just want to find someone who loves me, while you don't even have the capacity to love."Her words were harsh, and the people around them sighed.They didn't know the full story, but they saw everything Marion had done for Debra. No other man in the world would do the same.For her, he could even give up his life. If that wasn't love, then what was?"Alright, I understand," Marion choked a little, looking sad.From his
