Chapter 1486

Penulis: Cozy Season
Drake had just managed to get his power back. He couldn't have that kind of money to buy a precious stone like that.

Faced with her doubt, Drake snorted, "Who says it has to be bought?"

"Then how did you..." Debra trailed off, quickly realizing where this was headed.

She smacked his arm, scowling, "You're involved in illegal dealings again?"

"That's the nature of my business. Focus on your own man," Drake retorted.

Marion shot him a cold glare, warning him against messing with Debra.

Drake took a deep breath. "Don't worry. I didn't hurt anyone. They gave it to me willingly, and I'm paying them in installments. They won't lose out."

Debra finally relaxed and asked, "So where did you hide the stone?"

"At a safe place, of course," Drake replied. "It cost me a fortune. Naturally, they'd not find it easily."

"So, the Illuminati members have been collecting treasures like that. Such stones could lure out their leader, right?"

"It was a guess. But after this, I'm pretty sure I'm rig

    Once Drake was taken away, Marion asked, "You really figured it out?""Nope. I was bluffing." Debra shook her head. "Drake hid it so well that even the Illuminati couldn't find it. That's why they grabbed him. They had no other choice. Honestly, the safest thing for us is not to know where it is. Otherwise, we might be next on their hit list.""That's why he wouldn't talk.""I know. He's afraid that if we find out, the Illuminati will come after us, too.""But you told him you figured it out." "I was just messing with him. If I could do that, that'd mean I'm smarter than the entire Illuminati.""You're smarter."Marion reached out and ruffled her hair.Debra got serious. "Now we can't go back to Seamar City yet. If the Illuminati has people here, they must have a base there too. Instead, we should dig a little deeper. Maybe their leader is hiding out here in Orkgate.""Right." Marion nodded....In the car, Kale faltered, "Boss, next time something like this happens, at le

    Late at night, Andrew sat in the study of his house overseas.From the courtyard came the sound of soft rustling noises.About ten minutes later, Barton returned to the room and reported, "Sir, everything's been taken care of.""Good work on them. They went through all that trouble just to find this place, and in the end, they came up empty," Andrew said casually, "Send them back and show them that no one gets into the Potter Mansion and this house as well.""Understood." Barton quickly left.Several corpses were scattered about in the courtyard.At his signal, some hidden guards revealed themselves and dragged the bodies away.In no time, the courtyard was cleaned up, leaving no sign of anything.Andrew looked thoughtfully at a phoenix emblem on his desk.After a while, Barton returned and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Houston are overseas right now. They don't seem to plan on going back anytime soon. What if..." Andrew brushed it off. "I never told anyone about this place. They won

    The members of the special group had their whole lives tied to the Potter family, just like private assassins.At a place like that, Fermin couldn't afford to be careless."Here I am," he announced. "No one is coming to welcome me?"His voice echoed through the hall, but there was no response.Suddenly, the elevator light ahead flickered on. He walked over, and the doors slid open.He stepped in, and it took him to the second floor, which looked like a maze, with the hallways pitch black.As he took a step forward, lights along the left corridor blinked on. He walked down it and saw an open door at the end.Inside, Andrew sat behind a desk, with a faint smile on his face."Mr. Eaton, nice to meet you. I hope you're satisfied with the gift I sent you," he greeted.Fermin threw a badge onto the desk. "What's this supposed to mean?"The badge belonged to the Illuminati. The sun on it symbolized light.Andrew leaned back. "This is an Illuminati badge that was lost on the mountai

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1490

    Andrew picked up the badge from the table and pressed it until there was a sharp metallic sound.He removed a tiny chip from inside the badge and said, "Your information is hidden in this badge. This chip proves your membership. You lost it five years ago, and I found it. What about this proof?""You know?" Fermin's voice was wary now.If he had once thought Andrew was just trying to make a show of things, now he had to reassess the situation.He wondered if Andrew was speaking the truth. If it was true, Andrew was a formidable foe.Finding something long lost like that was almost impossible.Fermin realized that those rumors about Andrew's capability were true after all. He was the most outstanding leader the Potter family had ever had."Since you already know, what is this meeting for?" Fermin asked, unable to figure out Andrew's intentions. "You want core information on the Illuminati?"Andrew chuckled, "Not really. I just promised your father I'd send you and Liza back. Now

    Andrew's smile grew even wider. "There is always a price to pay."Barton raised his knife high and drove it straight toward Liza's shoulder. Just before the blade could sink in, Fermin shouted, "Okay, I agree."Andrew poured himself a cup of tea. "Honestly, whether you agreed or not, I was going to send you home. Now we still have a score to settle. Shall we?"He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.Fermin understood the implication. Without hesitation, he lifted his knife and stabbed it into his shoulder.Liza cried out in shock, "Fermin!""I saw your sincerity, Mr. Eaton. Apology accepted," Andrew chuckled, turning to Barton. "Stop scaring Miss Eaton and have Mr. Eaton escorted home. Then we'll release her.""Yes, sir." Barton nodded.Before this, Liza had always thought Andrew was just a sickly man, smart but not dangerous.Now she knew how wrong she had been. He barely moved from his chair, yet he had them completely at his mercy.For the first time, she was awed. Fermin

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 1492

    To Liza, this seemed like a trivial question.She couldn't quite understand why Andrew wasn't asking more important questions, like who Fermin had met recently, if he had been in contact with the Illuminati, and what he had been plotting."That's my only question," he said. "Answer it, and you're free to go."Andrew still wore his gentle smile, giving an illusion that he wasn't the one who had threatened her earlier.Liza replied, "I didn't go anywhere. He had me stay at a house in the city and barely went out himself. After that event, he took me back overseas. We just didn't go home.""Tell me where the house is, and you can leave," Andrew said, having his phone passed to her.Liza could only write down the address. She said, "It was probably bought by Fermin later on. I don't know the exact location, but I do know it's in this direction. It's at the end of this street on the left, with a pond in the yard."Andrew heard her out without interrupting. "Thank you for the informat

    Marion spoke. "We prefer not to be disturbed. Have the staff leave the estate for the next few days.""Understood." The butler nodded.Debra didn't know Marion owned such a large estate overseas."This place looks like it's been around for a while. When did you buy it?""I didn't buy it. This estate used to belong to the Bernard family.""So, it was owned by Cathryn, right?""She mortgaged it to Conrad, and after the Jovial Hotel incident, it was transferred to Drake."He pulled out a set of keys. "Drake gave these to me, saying he replaced everyone here with people he trusts. We'll stay for a while. Maybe we can dig up something useful."Debra looked around the estate. "You used to live here, right?""Yes." Marion nodded and added as Debra inspected the building. "Shawn had a lot of influence overseas. Even now, some old associates are still loyal to him. I cleared out most of the opponents, but some diehards are still out there. Compared to my house, this place is safer.""

    Marion led Debra to the innermost room on the left. When the door opened, he quickly stepped in front of her to block the dust from the doorframe.It took a while before she could see what was inside.The place was cramped, covering no more than ten square meters. Three sets of bunk beds stood on the sides, their frames already rusted. In the middle was a simple frame holding a copper basin. There was nothing else.Marion had understated it when he called the room shabby."There's nothing much to see here. It's dirty. Let's go," he said, pulling at her arm.But Debra was intrigued. "Which was your bed?""This one." Marion pointed to the bottom bunk in the far corner."So, this is the room you, Robert, and Drake share?""Yeah.""What about the other three beds?""We were the last batch, so it's just the three of us.""You worked as Shawn's bodyguards?""Yeah."Debra walked over to the bed Marion had used. It was still neat, though the room was heavy with the smell of old, s

    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
