Chapter 920

Author: Cozy Season
"Drake, slow down."

Drake didn't respond but slowed his steps slightly.

In the center of the second floor was a large platform, usually reserved for performances. Today, however, Drake had a three-seater sofa placed there.

"Sit," he said.

Suspicion clouded Debra's expression. "You're not planning to pull some kind of prank on me, are you?"

Drake smirked, "Your life's already in my hands. Why would I bother?"

Debra took her seat, while Drake snapped his fingers, the sharp sound echoing in the room.

She cocked her head, eyeing him warily. "What's this? A magic show?"

Suddenly, all the lights went out. Marion slipped into the venue unnoticed, his presence as silent as a shadow.

The crowd didn't panic. Instead, a strange, festive atmosphere settled over the place.

Drake's voice came from somewhere behind Debra. "I once told you I'd show you a glimpse of the future. Tonight, consider it a preview of the Lowe Playground. Since we're partners now, I figured it's only fair to show yo

    Just as Drake was about to shout One, footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the banquet hall.Drake wrinkled his brow. Kale rushed up, exclaiming, "Boss, the Eatons are here.""What?" Drake was taken aback.Seeing people already entering the banquet hall, he quickly grabbed Debra and pushed her into Kale's arms. "Take her away.""Yes, boss." Kale dragged Debra toward a nearby corridor."My shoe!" Debra's shoe had accidentally fallen.Drake spotted it and kicked it under the sofa. But the people on the first floor couldn't escape in time.Bert entered with Liza, only to be greeted by a lurid scene.Liza, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, screamed and covered her eyes.Bert commanded angrily, "Clear the place!"Carter immediately went into action with the bodyguards.The guests present were all Drake's clients who never expected Bert to suddenly appear. Their enthusiasm vanished, and they hurriedly left, while the women arranged by Drake scattered in panic.Seeing th

    "Miss Eaton, you are joking," Drake said. "Look around. She is not here."He leaned in slightly, his voice cool and deliberate. "If you don't believe me, feel free to search the place.""You must have hidden her somewhere," Liza snorted, turning to Bert. "Dad, you saw everything. This man here is unfaithful and despicable. I will never marry someone like him."Bert let out a measured breath, turning to Drake. "Liza is my dearest daughter. When I agreed to this marriage, it was because you seemed like a promising young man with sincerity. But now, it's clear that you're unfit to be her husband. Consider this engagement annulled."Drake tried to argue, "I...""There's no need to explain," Bert interrupted. "While this marriage won't proceed, business is another matter. To compensate for any loss of face this decision may bring to the Lowe family, I'll ensure our partnership remains intact."Drake's tense features relaxed into calmness. He had long grown weary of Liza's spoiled, ent

    Debra's breath hitched in her throat.If Drake came in now, Frederic would be doomed.Outside, Kale said, "Boss, I have a room card. Why don't we just go in?"Drake ignored him and demanded again, "Debra, I'm being very polite right now. Don't make me break down the door."Debra glanced at Frederic, who already had his gun drawn. She quickly reached out and pressed down on his hand, shouting toward the door, "Just a moment."Drake picked up on the tremor in her voice. "What's going on? Is someone with you?"Debra's heart skipped a beat. "No, I'm taking a bath.""At such a point? You think I'm that gullible?" Drake scoffed, his patience wearing thin. "Hurry up, or I'm coming in.""Boss, don't waste time with her. She's been holed up in there for ages. Something's definitely up," Kale said, swiftly using the room card to open the door.The room was empty, but the bathroom door was tightly shut.Debra's panicked voice echoed from the bathroom. "Who let you in?"Drake frowned, a

    Debra casually sat down on the nearby sofa and poured herself a glass of wine."My clothes are wet. I can't wear them. Get me something new.""How did your clothes get wet?""I didn't take them off before getting in the bath."Drake was just about to ask more questions when he turned around and saw Debra acting as if she owned the place.Taking a deep breath, he asked almost existentially, "Are you even a woman?""Of course, I am. 100% certified," Debra answered matter-of-factly, glancing at him. "You have the nerve to watch me bathe. What do I have to feel embarrassed about?"Drake was stifled by her retort. A tight knot of irritation coiled in his chest, and he shouted toward the door, "Kale, bring Mrs. Houston a change of clothes."Debra chimed in, "Something lightweight, please."Drake laughed, though there was no humor in it. "You've got the nerve to make demands? Do you have any idea how expensive that dress is?"She flashed a sly smile. "Oh, come on. A man of your stat

    The car ride back to the Lowe Mansion was filled with heavy silence. Debra, forced to wear handcuffs and a blindfold, heard nothing but the hum of the engine.She decided to break the silence."Feeling down?""Shut up.""What happened after Mr. Eaton Sr. showed up?""Want me to sew your mouth shut?"Debra couldn't help but feel a twinge of satisfaction at Drake's anger.It was clear that his engagement to Liza was on the rocks. Without the Eaton family's support, Drake's business there would crumble.It wouldn't take more than a week for their operations to fold, and those business owners, who had been trying to curry favor with him, would have to reassess their strategies.Drake's foul mood was understandable."Boss, tonight's events were suspicious," Kale said. "Miss Eaton mentioned that a maid told her about Mrs. Houston accompanying you to the banquet. Should we investigate it?""Of course," Drake said. "Find that maid and bring her to my study. I'll question her in pe

    Liza turned her head and took in their interaction."Drake, you're despicable!" Liza shouted. "Just a moment ago, you claimed Debra wasn't with you. Now you have the nerve to bring her over. I can see you have no respect for me."She raised her hand high, ready to slap Drake. Kale stepped forward and caught her wrist in an iron grip."Let me go!" Liza shrieked, struggling against his hold.But Kale stood his ground. Drake coldly stared at her, fed up with her arrogance.Now that their engagement was broken and Bert wasn't around, he saw no need to humor her anymore.Debra tugged at Drake's sleeve and whispered, "You've made your point and should let her go. She's still an Eaton."He turned to her. "You weren't so timid when you confronted me.""She's irrational," Debra said. "You're unlike her, are you?"Unwilling to quibble with her, he instructed Kale, "Let her go."Kale released Liza's hand, stepping back without a word.Liza turned to Drake, who wasn't looking at her w

    Lara anxiously looked at Debra, holding her breath.Debra met Drake's eyes and said, "Yes, I did it on purpose."As Drake's eyes narrowed, she added, "Those jewels were expensive. I couldn't wear them when you had a fiancée. I was going to pretend I forgot to wear them, but Lara didn't understand, insisting on bringing them to me. How could I accept them?"She glanced at Liza and asked, "Miss Eaton, you agree with me, right?"Liza scoffed, "At least you know your place."Disinterested in going on the conversation, she hooked her arm through Cathryn's and said, "Let's go."Cathryn's mind was elsewhere. She wanted to see how Drake would handle Debra.Drake turned his attention back to Debra."Boss," Kale started to speak, but Drake cut him off with a dismissive wave. "So, this was all just a misunderstanding?""Exactly," Debra responded quickly, knowing when to stand her ground and when to back down.Drake believed her, given how scared she had been at the gate earlier."It's

    Debra took a deep breath, trying to hide her worry. She couldn't let Drake suspect her relationship with Lara."Alright," she said nonchalantly, heading upstairs.But then, a sharp slap echoed from below. She looked back and saw Lara crumpled on the floor."What the hell?" she shouted.Drake shot her a cold glance. "Go on."Lara quickly spoke. "It's all my fault. Mrs. Houston, don't worry about me. I'll take whatever punishment."As Debra was unwilling to move, Drake signaled to Kale. "Escort Mrs. Houston upstairs.""No need. I'll go up myself," Debra said, ascending the stairs.Drake shifted his attention back to Lara, who was shaking like a leaf."Boss," Kale ventured cautiously, "she messed up your plans. Should we deal with her?"Normally, Drake wouldn't hesitate to exact a severe punishment, but this time he only looked disgusted."Dock her a month's pay.""What?"Drake's gaze flicked toward him, cool and sharp. "Didn't you hear me? Fine, forget it."Before Kale coul

    Barton shook his head."Why would Jordan betray us? It doesn't make sense," Debra pressed. "Isn't this part of your plan? With Liza captured, we're in a tight spot. Just tell me the truth.""I really don't know," Barton replied with an innocent look.Debra panicked. She couldn't tell the truth from lies anymore or if this was part of some scheme. She wasn't sure if Jordan really betrayed them or if Andrew was really sick.These questions swirled in her mind and drove her crazy."Where's Marion?" she finally asked.If Andrew was gravely ill, Marion wouldn't leave his side.Barton replied, "Mr. Houston has been tied up with matters at home. He hasn't returned since he left in the morning.""He's gone all day?" Debra's eyes narrowed.That didn't add up. With Marion's efficiency, there was no way he'd take so long to handle family issues.While Debra was struggling to make sense of it all, Garland burst in, looking frantic."What do you mean Jordan is a traitor? And Liza's been

    "Hey, don't touch me!" Liza shouted, struggling as the bodyguards grabbed her arms.Jordan came down the stairs and asked with a frown, "Where are Debra and Erica?""Sir, they escaped," one of the guards reported.Jordan slapped him and spat, "Useless!"The guard bowed his head and stepped back.Liza glared at Jordan. "Traitor! You're even worse than Drake. You sneaky backstabber!"Her string of insults didn't faze him one bit.She continued, "Let me remind you, I am Liza Eaton. If you dare lay a finger on me, my dad won't let you off the hook."The guards all had a headache coming on. She had repeated it so many times, but they couldn't deny the power of her family.One of the guards ventured, "Sir, what should we do? Let her go?"Jordan glanced at Liza. "Take her away and lock her up.""What?" Liza shouted, "You have the nerve to lock me up? Just so you know, if I get even a scratch, my dad will chop you into pieces.""Gag her.""Yes, sir."The guards gagged Liza and dr

    "No need to chase further," Jordan said."Why not?" demanded a figure coming out of the corner.He was cloaked in a black robe, his face hidden behind a white mask. His voice was deep, altered by a voice changer."Messing with the Eaton family is not a wise decision," Jordan replied blandly."So what if I mess with them? They're nothing," said the masked man, raising his hand.At the signal, a bunch of bodyguards rushed downstairs.The guests at the party had no idea what was happening, and the cameras were soon shut off."What's going on?" the reporters protested as they were driven out of the hotel.The remaining ones in the hall were shocked. Given their experiences, they knew something big was about to happen. The only thing they could do was stay quiet."Back off. You don't want to hurt Miss Eaton," Erica shouted.But Debra heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the hall. Alerted, she said, "Something is not right. We need to run.""Relax. I dare them to lay a finge

    Debra's voice turned icy. "Did you have something to do with Andrew's worsening condition?""I don't have time to waste talking to you," Jordan replied, turning to the guards. "Escort Mrs. Houston out.""Yes, sir." The guards moved toward Debra.She sensed their malice and stepped back.Erica's shouting came. "Run."She grabbed Debra's hand, and the two of them bolted down the stairs.Unsure of the situation, Liza trusted her instincts and followed them."After them!" The guards gave chase.Liza suddenly had an idea. She stopped in her tracks and stood boldly in front of the guards. The unexpected move forced them to screech to a halt.She declared, "I am the daughter of the Eaton family. If you dare lay a hand on me, my dad will make sure you regret it."Debra and Erica, who had reached the exit, heard her words and felt helpless. At such a time, no one would care about her status anymore.The guards ignored the threat, ready to act, when Jordan suddenly called out from the

    Erica rushed forward and said, "Barton, you're here just in time. I need to ask you something."Barton cut her off. "Mr. Andrew Potter's condition has suddenly worsened. It's very serious right now. Please come back with me immediately.""What?" Debra exclaimed. "He was fine yesterday."An image of the previous day suddenly popped into her mind. Jordan had gone into Andrew's room right after she left."Do you know about this?" Debra asked. "Jordan is the new president of the Lowe Group?"Barton, as Andrew's trusted aide, was supposed to know if this was part of Andrew's plan."What?" Barton was puzzled. "Mr. Jordan Potter?"Debra decided to go upstairs to confront Jordan. Erica quickly reached out to stop her."Where are you going? Didn't you just say we can't go up there earlier?""I have to go and ask him. What is he doing? Betraying the family?""Betrayal it is," Liza chimed in. "I'm going with you."She grabbed Debra's arm and rushed up the stairs.The guards immediatel

    "What's going on?"Liza looked around, and her gaze landed on a huge pendulum clock on the wall.It gave a low, echoing chime. Debra looked over and saw it struck eight at night.A beam of light shone down onto a sofa on the second floor. Sitting on it was a masked man.Debra stared at him and had an oddly familiar feeling.Erica had the same feeling. "This guy...""Welcome to the party. I am the Lowe Group's new president."The voice was so familiar that both Debra and Erica froze in shock.Liza patted them on the shoulder. "Is that Andrew's brother? Did I hear wrong?"She didn't know what was going on, but the new president turned out to be Jordan.Just a few days ago, when they saw the news, he hadn't said anything.On the second floor, Jordan removed his mask, revealing a frosty face. Everyone stared at him in surprise because Jordan had disappeared from Seamar City for an entire year.He used to be reckless and lazy. Somehow, he became the new president of the Lowe G

    "What is this? Do I have to wear this ugly thing to attend your party?" Liza grumbled, tossing the mask back with disdain. "I spent two hours on my makeup. If I wear this, all that effort will go to waste. No way I'm wearing it."The security guard replied politely, "I'm sorry, but rules are rules. Without the mask, you can't go in.""I've never heard of such a ridiculous rule," Liza huffed, ready to leave.Debra grabbed her hand. "Don't you want to have fun anymore?""I..." Liza hesitated.Debra leaned in and whispered, "The new president of the Lowe Group is trying to impress people. Just put on the mask and take it off once you're inside. What are they gonna do? Can they just throw you out?""Sounds like a plan." Liza nodded. "Even Drake didn't dare mess with me. Why should I care about them?"She picked up the mask again and put it on.Erica nudged Debra. "I guess you're going to be a pro at handling kids."Debra pressed a finger to her lips.The three of them entered the

    Faced with the same question, Debra explained again, "Got it from a fall when I was a kid.""Fell?" Erica muttered, skeptical. "It doesn't look so."She suddenly remembered something major from back in the day. The major families all sent their representatives over.There had been a little girl who was injured on her back and rushed to the hospital.Erica remembered it well because Andrew had been holding that girl."What's wrong?" Debra turned and saw Erica spacing out.Erica came to her senses. "Ah... Nothing. It doesn't look like a fall.""You're talking like Liza." Debra twirled in front of the mirror and said, "What do you think? Should I change into something else? It doesn't look so good if it reveals the scar.""Why not wear this one instead?" Liza came out, holding an azure gown. "It's pretty and not too flashy."Debra took it and nodded with satisfaction. "This one it is."Liza grabbed Erica and pulled her toward the changing room. "I picked one for you too. Let's g

    At her call, ten bodyguards walked into the room.Debra explained, "For safety's sake, these are our bodyguards for the day. Get familiar with them so there are no misunderstandings later."Liza was unimpressed. "Are ten of them enough? I usually bring 20."Erica snorted, "You want 20. Ask your daddy. Too many people will be arrestive.""What? Are you judging me?" Liza fumed."I am. I haven't even slapped you yet," Erica countered, rolling up her sleeves.Debra quickly stepped in. "Alright, it's about time. Let's go."She grabbed Erica's arm and headed toward the door. Liza followed them reluctantly.The whole morning was spent at a salon. Debra and Erica kept yawning, but Liza was full of energy."Is she really a spoiled lady?" Erica muttered, trailing behind Liza. "My barn needs a workhorse like her."Finally, they arrived at the store Liza had mentioned. Debra and Erica were grateful for a short break.Liza pulled Debra over.
