Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1588
"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,

Fermin stepped in front of Lara, pressing the barrel of his gun under her chin."Do I need to spell it out for you? Conrad is not a core member of the Illuminati. You are."She might have fooled the world with her perfect disguise, but she couldn't fool him, who was also deeply entrenched in the Illuminati."I remember seeing you about ten years ago," Fermin said, tapping the side of her face with the gun. "I never forget a face. You're that old man's goddaughter, known as an expert in disguise. Now that your cover's blown, take a guess. What will happen next?"Lara's innocent look disappeared, replaced by an insidious smirk."You're making a grave mistake by messing with me," she murmured.Fermin didn't flinch. He pressed the gun against her chest. "Don't test my patience here. I've already killed plenty of people today. One more won't make a difference.""If you kill me, the Illuminati won't let you go. You know what happens to people on their hit list," Lara sneered. "Your fa

Liza was alone in the pitch-black wine cellar. Gunshots echoed from upstairs.She desperately wanted to see what was happening, but the door had been locked.Finally, the noise stopped. But the silence was even more unsettling.Suddenly, the iron door creaked open. Liza hid in a corner, fearing the worst.Then she heard Lara's voice. "Miss Eaton, it's me."Liza peeked out from her hiding spot. Her voice shook as she asked, "What's going on out there?"Lara rushed in and helped her up. "Fermin... He killed everyone in the house."Liza was stunned by the news."But don't worry, his men didn't find this place," Lara reassured her, holding her hand tightly. "But you can't stay here anymore. Fermin is worried about you. If he doesn't find you, he might kill more people. If you go back to him and say you got lost, he won't blame you."Liza was still reeling from the shock. Fermin had always been kind to her, never showing his ruthless side. But those gunshots..."Are you okay?" she

A heavy weight settled in Liza's chest. If it weren't for her, those servants wouldn't have died."I've arranged a car outside," Lara said. "The driver will take you to Fermin. Just make sure he never finds out I sheltered you. Otherwise, Mrs. Houston and I will both be in trouble."Liza didn't want to cause Debra any more problems. She agreed without hesitation.Outside, the driver was already waiting.Lara stood at the doorway, watching as Liza left. The worried expression on her face slowly faded.Stepping back into the house, she surveyed the wreckage around her. The thick, metallic scent of blood filled the air, but she didn't seem to mind. Instead, she casually sank onto the couch, picking up a glass of wine.After a moment, she stood up and walked over to a vintage record player. She placed a new record onto the turntable, letting elegant music flow through the room.She hummed along and began to waltz. Her arms moved as if she were holding someone close, her steps light

Fermin admitted, "I did."Liza's heart sank as she realized he was responsible for the deaths of the Sharp family members."Can't you stop killing people?" Liza asked softly, her voice tinged with pleading.Usually, Fermin couldn't resist her when she acted this way.But this time, his tone was serious. "Liza, this world is brutal. If you don't kill, you'll be killed. I did this to protect our family and the thousands of employees who depend on us. I did this for you."He seemed to regret his words and quickly changed the subject. "Don't go anywhere recently. I don't care what happens to anyone else, but I will make sure you're safe."Liza was confused. Their family's power was immense. No one could challenge them. Only the Illuminati could pose a threat....At the D&M club, Debra had dismantled Fermin's operations. Josh handed her confidential files they had obtained from the Illuminati members.Debra reviewed the list. It included industry elites, entertainment veterans, bu

Even though the rumors were flying that Marion and Debra's marriage was falling apart, she was still the CEO of the McKinney Group."Move aside." The butler stepped out of the villa, and at his command, the guards quickly cleared a path.He walked up to Debra and said, "Mrs. Houston, our master has been waiting for you."Debra knew it was Bert who had saved Michael. She should have come to see him the moment she arrived overseas, but she had to take care of the loose ends first.Still, she felt a little guilty about trapping Fermin.She followed the butler into the house. Bert was in the living room, waiting.Debra didn't know how to start the conversation, but Bert simply lifted his gaze and said, "I know why you're here." "You do?" She was surprised.Bert nodded. "The Illuminati? I've known about them for 20 years. In fact, I was one of their core members."Debra was stunned. She had suspected he had some connection to the organization, but not so deep."I planned to take

Debra listened intently as Bert recounted the past."In my youth, I was ambitious and fearless. This recklessness helped me establish myself here. But 20 years ago, a business failure led me to the Illuminati. They offered to help me regain my footing, and I accepted. For a while, I was blinded by power and status. Later, I discovered that my previous business troubles were orchestrated by the Illuminati to recruit me.""You mentioned you were a core member 20 years ago. Are you still involved with them?" Debra asked.Bert shook his head. "After Liza's mother passed away, I wanted out. I realized the Illuminati wasn't about helping businesses succeed; it was a trap. My role was to provide favors to their people. I turned a blind eye to many things, including the black markets overseas."His eyes clouded over with regret. "The first time I attended one of their banquets, I was shocked. I thought I'd seen it all, but the mix of desire and darkness was overwhelming.""Was the banquet

Bert sighed, "She was always frail. After giving birth to Liza, her health got even worse. She spent most of her time in the hospital, while I was trying to figure out how to cut ties with the Illuminati. Back then, they made it clear. If I wanted out, there'd be a price. It could've been my status or wealth, but never in my worst nightmares did I think the price would be her life."Debra froze. "They killed your wife?"Bert's expression darkened, his voice heavy with regret and hatred. "That day, the hospital called, saying she was bleeding out. I rushed there, but by the time I arrived, all I saw was her cold body in the morgue.""You mean they drained the hospital's blood supply?"A chill ran down her spine. In her past life, she had also suffered massive blood loss during childbirth, only to find out all the A-type blood in the hospital had been transferred by Shelia.But now, she wasn't so sure.Even if Shelia had Juan wrapped around her finger, pulling off something like th

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?
