Chapter 834

Author: Cozy Season
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

    The Eatons and the Lowes were both here in Seamar City, eager to expand their empires.To celebrate, they threw a banquet so grand it made the locals dizzy with anticipation. Every merchant worth their salt was scrambling for an invite.The whispers on the street were that the alliance was set to become the next big thing, a juggernaut to rival the McKinney Group."Madam, are you attending?" Ben's voice crackled over the phone.They had received an invitation, but it was addressed to Tracy.If Tracy didn't attend the banquet, it would be a slap in the host's face. A clash with them could spell disaster for the McKinney Group."I'll be there.""But the invitation isn't for you. If you show up, won't that cause a stir?""The invitation is for the head of the McKinney Group. And that's me.""You're going to reveal your identity?"That would cause a stir online, especially since the internet was now filled with negative comments about her private life. People called her a gold-di

    "Haven't they arrived yet?" Drake grunted.Kale shifted uncomfortably. "I've sent someone to notify Mr. Eaton, but it seems he has his own agenda.""What the hell?" Drake's face darkened. "Are they playing games with me?"Kale quickly reassured him, "They don't dare, sir, given the fact that Miss Eaton is going to marry you."Drake scoffed, "Because of marriage, huh?"He could sense their arrogance. They acted like marrying their daughter to him was some big favor."Tell them this," Drake snarled. "If Fermin doesn't show up tonight, the engagement is off."Kale paled. "Sir, don't be impulsive."The Eaton family was old and influential, with complex networks of power. Although Drake had surpassed the previous head of the Lowe family, he was still young, and no one knew how deep the Eatons' influence ran. Offending these people could seriously impact their future business.Drake tugged at his tie, irritated about Fermin's lack of respect."What about McKinney Group?""I heard

    The room buzzed with whispers."Isn't that Debra Frazier? What's she doing here?""I heard she disappeared during her engagement party and ran off with Andrew Potter.""Ugh, what bad luck running into her here!"The upper echelon of society was a viper's nest, ready to strike at the first whiff of scandal.Debra, with her tarnished reputation and fallen family, was a prime target. Her previous marriage to Juan and Marion's protection were the only reasons she was tolerated in their midst."Ms. Frazier, your reputation isn't looking too great," Drake scoffed, descending the staircase.His voice sent a shiver down her spine, but Debra kept her composure.The crowd parted as Drake approached, businessmen eagerly trying to catch his attention.Kale blocked them, allowing Drake to reach Debra unimpeded.Eyebrows raised and lips pursed in disapproval, the elite watched the scene unfold."Look at her, clinging to Mr. Lowe this time.""Relying all on her looks, she thinks every man

    Drake laughed, "Did you think that by stealing Tracy's invitation, you could just waltz in here like you were invited?""Stealing? No," Debra responded. "It's for the President of McKinney Group, so here I am."Judgmental whispers then filled the air. The guests didn't bother to hide their disdain."She's got some nerve to pose as Mr. McKinney.""She must have gotten in here on Tracy's coattails. What a phony coquet!"Drake listened and smirked, "Did you hear that? It's not that I doubt you, but no one here is convinced.""Sounds like you don't believe me either," Debra countered.Suddenly, a group of bodyguards from the McKinney Group stormed into the room, forming two neat lines.Ben strode in and made his way straight to Debra's side. "Everyone, allow me to introduce Ms. Frazier, President of McKinney Group. She's been keeping a low profile out of respect for the Nichols family's rules, but now that she's severed ties with them, she's ready to reveal her identity. Ms. Frazie

    Drake's expression darkened as he looked at Debra's playful smile.He had never imagined that the person behind the McKinney Group would be Debra. All the things she had said about being a fallen heiress and poor worker were all fake.He had been played the whole time."Boss," Kale called out, noticing that the guests were gathering around Debra.He lowered his voice and whispered, "There must be something wrong with those documents.""Do you think I haven't noticed?" Drake said, having observed the guests' strange expressions.Debra raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Lowe, I owe you thanks for keeping me by your side these past few days. I've learned a lot, especially about how to hold someone's weaknesses against them."Drake squinted at her, but she was unperturbed as she addressed the guests, "I notice that Mr. Eaton hasn't arrived yet. I suppose he won't be coming tonight, will he?"The guests remained silent, and she continued, "As it happens, the McKinney Group is co-hosti

    Debra shook her head and added, "If you ask me, you should return to Orkgate as soon as possible. That's where your foundation is. Your tactics won't work here."With that, she turned to Ben and said, "Go get the car. Let our people escort the bosses to the Potter Mansion. Mr. Andrew Potter has arranged a banquet to welcome everyone.""Yes, ma'am." Ben sprang into action.Soon, only Drake and Kale were left in the vast banquet hall.Drake ripped off his tie. "Go find Fermin. If he doesn't show up by midnight, there will be a price to pay."To pacify him, Kale quickly responded, "I'll get it done right away."After Kale left, Drake kicked over a nearby chair. Edgar finally emerged from the corner with a sneer. "Never seen you so desperate before."Drake was annoyed further, not expecting Edgar to show up again after the last dismissal."We've both been played by Debra," Edgar said. "If you had lent me the money back then, I could have regained control. But it's not too late now.

    "Yes, boss."The subordinates quickly carried out Drake's order, but before they could get out of the hall, Juan walked in.Looking around the empty place, he remarked, "Looks like I'm late."Drake narrowed his eyes. "You knew Debra was the head of the McKinney Group. Why didn't you tell me?""What?" Juan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't know.""Don't give me that. She was your wife. How could you not know?" Drake snorted.Juan remained composed. "We were only married on paper. I didn't know anything about her affairs."His sincere expression convinced Drake, who took a deep breath and barked at his men. "What are you waiting for? Go smash the party.""Yes, boss.""Hold it." Juan stopped them.Drake frowned. "What do you want to say?""The Potter family is reputable here. If you attack them, you'll never be able to stand your ground in this city again," Juan warned."Are you saying even you can't handle the Potter family?""It's not that I can't handle them, but it's a hassle,

    The Potter family was an ancient and respected clan in Seamar City, second to none in terms of reputation and influence. Never in his life had Randy seen anyone disrupting any event hosted by the Potters.Debra said, "Just in case. Drake is unpredictable and violent. There's nothing he won't do.""Alright. I'll get ready. If he dares to show up, I'll make him lose so much face that he'll have to hide in Orkgate for the rest of his life," Randy replied.Just then, Erica emerged from the banquet hall. "Randy, what are you dawdling for? There's still a lot to do inside."Debra's face lit up with a smile. "Erica."Erica froze for a moment before spotting Debra standing by a car. Erica's eyes welled up, and she rushed over to hug Debra tightly. "Oh, sweetheart, I thought I'd never see you again."Randy tugged at her clothes, reminding her, "People are watching. Mind your image."To the public, Erica was always known as an iron businesswoman. But in private, she and Randy were quite t

    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?
