"Three months is it," Debra agreed, leading Jade and the others to leave.In three months, she would take over Juan's company.Juan silently watched her leave. Suddenly, the sharp crack of a slap echoed in the air.Standing before him, Melody snapped, "How could someone so foolish be part of this family? You've brought disgrace upon us all. Go after her and dissolve your promise. Do you hear me?"She pushed him, desperate to protect the family's legacy that had been built over decades. But no matter how hard she pushed, Juan didn't budge.Finally, he grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Have you had enough?"Melody froze, shocked by his tone.He added, "I've spent my life following your rules. I owe this family nothing, but I owe Debra everything. Grandma, I'll pay you back for raising me and make sure you're comfortable for the rest of your life."Without waiting for a response, he turned to Sophie, who had been lingering by the door. "Pack her things and take her back to the ol

The icy look in Juan's eyes daunted her. Shelia tried to leap off the bed, but Juan was quicker.He seized her hair, yanking her back so forcefully that clumps of it tore free.She screamed in agony, but Juan didn't stop there. He calmly reached beneath the bed and pulled out a coil of nylon rope."No, what are you doing? You can't..." Shelia's protest was cut off as he slapped a piece of duct tape over her mouth.She thrashed, but it was no use. With each twist of the rope, Juan's control over her tightened.He drew the curtains, shrouding the room in an oppressive darkness. Her muffled cries were the only sounds in the room.Shelia trembled in terror, tied down and unable to move.Juan stood over her, his voice void of emotion. "From now on, you'll stay right here as Mrs. Nichols. I'll feed you and bring you water, but you won't see the light of day or anyone else."Shelia's eyes widened in terror, her screams muffled beneath the tape."Don't worry," Juan added, unfeeling. "

Debra had returned in a hurry, unaware of the rumors.Michael glanced at Ben and said, "Debra just got back. Let her settle in and get familiar with recent business. We'll handle everything else later."Ben nodded. "Madam, there are too many eyes around here. Let's head upstairs first."Debra noticed the nervous glances from the employees. Without saying anything, she followed Michael and Ben up to the office.The moment Debra stepped inside, her eyes landed on the massive pile of paperwork stacked on her desk.She gasped, "Geeze! I'm sorry for putting you into this, Michael."Michael brushed it off, "No big deal, just a few simple contracts. All I had to do was sign."While he busied himself organizing the files, Debra turned to Ben. "Why are people avoiding me? What's going on?"Ben hesitated. "It's about you and Mr. Andrew Potter."Debra was baffled. "What about us?"Michael handed her a newspaper. Printed on the front page was a picture of her and Andrew entering the Pott

Debra said mysteriously, "This isn't about my title. This person seems interesting. Set up a meeting. I think I've found us a goldmine."She eased into the chair. Michael saw no point in it, but he knew better than to refuse her requests.He handed the newspaper to Ben. "Make it happen."Ben nodded but paused at the door.Debra looked up, asking, "Didn't I tell you to contact them? Why are you still here?"Ben held up the newspaper, pointing at a gaudy square in the bottom left corner. A cartoon Batman glared out, surrounded by decorative borders. The line went like this: "Bringing justice to the world! Add me on WhatsApp via the QR code below and submit your articles. P.S.: I'm the owner of New Age."Debra blinked, momentarily speechless. In this day and age, this was either genius or madness.She pulled out her phone and scanned the code. Up popped a profile, Batman staring back at her. She shook her head, half-expecting to hear a dramatic "I am Batman."She sent a friend req

Ben asked, "Should I have him brought to you?""No need," Debra replied, her stride unbroken. "I'll handle this myself."She pushed open the office door. The chair was facing away, but the nameplate on the desk read: CEO, Garland Eaton.The name rang a bell, but she couldn't quite place it.The chair spun around, revealing a man dressed in a casual sweatshirt and pants, black-rimmed glasses perched on his nose. He was handsome, with bushy eyebrows and eyes that sparkled with mischief.Debra thought he was a little over the top."Looking for me?" Garland asked, leaning his chin on his hand as Debra's entourage filed into the office.Debra had learned something during her time in Orkgate. Sometimes, a show of force was necessary.But Garland seemed unruffled, pulling out his phone to record it.His voice was lazy yet magnetic. "Ladies and gentlemen, behold. Gangsters are harassing innocent citizens. Is there no justice left in this city?"Debra stepped forward, snatched the pho

Garland scratched his head. "I'm broke, you know. I'll need a million a month just to scrape by.""Not a problem.""I need funds.""I'll invest.""I don't have a place to stay.""We provide housing and meals.""Deal.""Pleasure doing business with you."Debra shook his hand firmly, and Ben watched with astonishment.Garland was soaking them, but Debra agreed without even negotiating. That was not the right way to do business.Debra said, "Draft up the contract. I want it signed immediately.""But..." Ben hesitated, hoping she would reconsider the matter.Debra shot him a look, and he quickly replied, "Right, I'll get on it."As she came out of the office, the employees hurried back to their seats. It was like a melodrama happening in real life.Outside, Ben finally dared to voice his concern. "Madam, why are you throwing so much money at this guy?"Garland was not a household name around here. His agency might have gained some attention, but it was worth millions at most

"Mr. Eaton," the secretary protested. "Your father expects your presence at the banquet. Don't forget why you're here."A young security guard, munching on chips near the door, interrupted, "Come on, man, let's not make this hard for everyone. Just leave quietly."The secretary ignored him, and he had to turn to Garland. "Boss, he's not listening to me."Garland said, "If he doesn't leave, you leave. Your choice."The security guard sprang into action, using all his strength to drag the secretary away. "Sorry, buddy! I don't want to lose my job."The secretary glanced back at the office and anxiously shouted, "Mr. Eaton, please hear me out."Garland put on noise-canceling headphones. "No. Release the dog!"A large bulldog outside barked loudly, and the secretary, along with his men, was pushed out of the building.The secretary was trapped in a dilemma. He wanted to force his way back inside, but that would annoy Garland, the future head of the Eaton family. But if he didn't do

Debra asked, "Is the Eaton family that powerful?""They're leagues above Edgar. Even Drake pales in comparison to them," Andrew replied, shooting a look at Marion. "Ask Marion how much trouble he had taken over the Bernard family. The Bernards are nothing compared to the Eatons."Debra fell silent, the gravity of the situation sinking in.Andrew added, "And this gentleman here packed Liza and Cathryn and shipped them out of the country. That takes a special kind of nerve."Debra blinked. "Packed them?"Andrew confirmed, "Yes, in a cargo container."Debra glanced at Marion, who explained, "They forced my hands."Andrew reasoned, "Liza is pampered in her family. Her father learned about this and immediately sent people here to expand their business and compete with us."If the Eatons came in, it could upend everything. They were the real deal, unlike Edgar, who lacked the capability, and Drake, who had to act in secret due to Marion's presence.The Eatons had both wealth and leg

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. 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
