Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1581
Fermin stormed out of the police station, the bodyguard following closely behind.He stopped abruptly and slapped the bodyguard across the face."I told you to protect her. What the hell were you doing?" Fermin snapped.The bodyguard lowered his head. "Miss Eaton didn't want me to follow her. And Debra asked me to stay in the greenhouse. This afternoon, when Miss Eaton was heading to the airport, she said she needed to use the restroom. I waited outside, but 20 minutes passed, and she still hadn't come out. I went in to check, and she was gone."He still didn't get it. "I never left my post. There's no way someone took her. Something's not right.""It must be Debra." Fermin narrowed his eyes. "No time to waste. Book me a flight to Orkgate."...Night had fallen.Debra lay down on her bed.Suddenly, the sound of an engine rumbled outside. Headlights flashed through her window, cutting through the darkness.She slowly sat up and walked to the door.At some point, Fermin had en

Even the seasoned Debra felt the pressure when facing Fermin.The rumors about him were true."How did you know the butterfly necklace was a bug?" Debra asked.Liza scratched her head. "Well, hanging out with you guys has made me smarter. Fermin didn't want me near you, but suddenly he let me visit. I figured he wanted to see if you and Marion really split up.""Impressive," Debra smiled."I had to keep up with you smart folks." Liza leaned in. "What's next? Any tasks for me? I'm ready."She was enthusiastic, but Debra didn't want to put her in danger."Fermin has influence in Orkgate. Finding you won't be hard.""But he has no business here.""He doesn't, but the Illuminati does. As a core member, he can easily mobilize their people.""So, what do we do?""I need a favor. It might be dangerous, but I'll make sure you're safe.""I'm in," Liza said, patting her shoulder. "I'm Liza Eaton. No one will mess with me.""Listen carefully," Debra warned. "The Illuminati is powerfu

Debra nodded.Liza recalled Yvonne as Drake's former fiancée.Her messy private life had made headlines. In the end, she lost her mind and jumped off a building.The news of her death had been a sensation. And her father, Conrad, was equally infamous.Liza frowned. "But Conrad and Yvonne are both gone.""The Sharp family is under new leadership now. Lara is in charge," Debra explained. "I'll drive you there, and she'll help you hide."She pulled out an earring and placed it in Liza's hand. "Here, this has a tracker inside. If I'm wrong, the Sharp family is the safest place for you. But if I'm right, things might get complicated."She didn't spell it out, but Liza understood what she meant."You're worried Lara is with the Illuminati. If I stay at her house, it'll look like I got kidnapped by them. That'll put Fermin and the Illuminati at odds.""Spot on. You're smarter than I thought.""Well, I'm a fast learner.""You understand how dangerous this is. Are you sure..." "I'

Andrew's study always had a faint scent of medicine, which had a calming effect.Debra never enjoyed lectures, but Andrew insisted.One afternoon, as she was feeling drowsy, Andrew's sharp answer jolted her awake."The usual way is to find a way out. But if your enemy sets a deadly trap, you need to think outside the box. Lure them in and create an opening for yourself.""Like a diversion?"...Debra's thoughts drifted back to the present.The Illuminati wanted Drake's raw gemstones, but Fermin might not be after the same thing.They were targeting Marion, aiming to destroy him through his marriage to Debra.She just didn't know their ultimate goal. To break up the Four Great Families was just the surface.Even if the four families were declining, the Illuminati couldn't even breach the Potter Mansion, so they must be after Marion's overseas assets. With those resources, they could expand their influence.Fermin, on the other hand, wasn't truly loyal to the Illuminati. They

"What the hell are you doing? Do you know who I am? I need to meet your boss," shouted those wealthy businessmen.Debra's car pulled up outside the club.Josh walked up to her and handed her a piece of clean cloth.She took it, then casually stuffed it into one of the businessman's mouths. A faint smile played on her lips as she said, "Mr. Pearson, long time no see."Harvey broke out in a cold sweat. Soon, more people were brought into the room.Debra took a seat on the sofa and said, "You're all members of the Illuminati, right?""What Illuminati? Never heard of it," they quickly denied it.Debra nodded. "Over the past few days, all your expenses here at the club, including your 'extra-curricular' activities, should be enough to get you locked up for a while. And those shady assets hidden in your companies? Under the local law, that counts as financial crime, doesn't it? The amount involved is massive. Also, bribery, sex-for-power deals... I'm guessing that's a death sentence?"

"Where's Marion?" Fermin demanded.His subordinate kept his head down. "Sir, Marion is in Seamar City under the watch of our people. He couldn't have gone overseas.""Then who was leading these actions?""It's the Houston family's army."Fermin's face twisted into a cruel smile.The Houston family's army only took orders from Marion, but that man was wasting away in Seamar City. Yet his men were active overseas."Sir, should we go back and handle the situation?""Not until we find Liza. I can't leave without her.""But...""No buts. Send someone to find out who's in charge overseas. The rest of you stay in Orkgate and find Liza.""Yes, sir."The subordinate hurried off to relay the orders.Fermin stood in the largest casino in Orkgate. His men had searched every corner but found nothing."Where could she be?" he muttered.In any other city, he wouldn't be this worried. But Orkgate was chaotic, with black markets, casinos, and human trafficking. Many had tried to clean it

Lara pushed the bowl toward Liza. "I heard you liked these kinds of desserts, so I had someone make it for you. I hope it's to your taste."Liza indeed craved dessert, but when it came from Lara, she held back."I just had dinner. Just leave it there. I'll have it later.""Alright, I'll leave you to it."Once Lara was gone, Liza studied the dessert and hesitated.Ultimately, she decided not to eat it. After all, it was still uncertain if Lara was a friend or a foe. There might be poison in it....Debra had wrapped everything up.Fermin's influence in the area had been systematically dismantled. It was difficult to wipe them out, but his key partners had switched to her side.Once everything was set, she anonymously sent a pre-recorded video to Fermin's email.The footage showed how Liza was kidnapped and taken from the Jovial Hotel to the Sharp Mansion. The video cut off abruptly right at that moment.Debra leaned back in her chair, curious about Fermin's reaction. More tha

"Master? Only fools like you believe him," Fermin snorted. "Since you worship him so much, you can meet him in hell."His men began their assault on the Illuminati members. In moments, the scene was a bloodbath.Fermin remained impassive until a subordinate reported, "Sir, everyone is down.""We're going to the Sharp Mansion," Fermin ordered.His men quickly cleaned up the scene and got into a convoy of luxury cars.That day, the streets of Orkgate were filled with the blaring of horns. People were confused, but such scenes were common in the city. To avoid trouble, everyone cleared a path.The entrance to the Sharp Mansion was surrounded. Liza, who was about to go to bed, heard the commotion and tensed up.Lara quickly entered her room, and she asked, "What's going on?""Fermin's men are here. You need to come with me," Lara said urgently.Her mind was blank as she followed Lara to a wine cellar in the basement. Lara straightened her nightgown and headed upstairs.Outside,

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
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1633
"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
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1631
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
