Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 851 - Bab 860

Drake collapsed onto the sofa, convulsing. It felt like he was floating on clouds, the near-suffocating pleasure overwhelming him.Kale called out, "Boss, hold on."But Drake was completely oblivious to the outside world, lost in a dream-like state.Outside the house, Marion's face remained cold.His guard asked, "Sir, are we just going to let this go?""Burn this place down," Marion ordered."But..." the guard hesitated.Marion shot him a cold glance, and he quickly complied, setting the plan in motion.Within moments, the newly built mansion was doused in gasoline.Marion lit a cigarette and tossed the burning end into the courtyard. A fire broke out in an instant."What if Drake dies in the fire? Sir, he knows the truth about the car accident.""Don't underestimate him. He won't die, but he'll suffer."Marion watched the towering flames, regretting not killing Drake back then, which had allowed Drake to target Debra and work against him.At dawn, Debra finally woke up.

Kale was annoyed by Liza's arrogance, but Drake remained unfazed."Kale, show your respect to Miss Eaton.""Did you hear that? I am your boss's savior and his fiancée. If you look at me like that again, I'll gouge out your eyes."With her threat hanging in the air, she headed back to her suite.Drake snorted, "Lucky for her. If she had come any earlier, I would have let the fire consume her.""But we can't mess with her family," Kale said with a frown."I know. That's why I didn't kill her when she talked like that.""What do we do now?""Find a place for me to stay.""I've already arranged it.""It should be near Debra's apartment.""But that woman is trouble."They had both thought Debra had only risen to prominence through her connections with Juan and later with Marion.But now, they realized she had the backing of the Mathis family, the Osborne family, and the Potter family. She was also the owner of the McKinney Group.Given how fiercely Marion protected her, Kale d

Juan turned, leaving Shelia alone inside the room. The door was locked, sealing her fate.Downstairs, Sophie was in the storage room, looking at a strange silver mask and an unremarkable black suit. She didn't think these belonged to Juan.As Juan descended the stairs, he saw Sophie about to discard the items. He strode over to pick up the items."Sir, I found them in the storeroom and thought they were no longer needed. I was about to dispose of them.""These are mine. Don't touch anything in the storage room without permission.""Understood.""Also, this house no longer needs a maid. Go and take care of my grandmother. She's getting old and should enjoy her retirement. Don't let her go out without my permission.""But who will take care of the house if I leave?""I'll handle it myself. Just do as I say.""Yes, sir."Sophie gathered her belongings and left the house.Juan looked down at the silver mask. Then he placed it and the suit back in the storage room.He muttered t

Debra took the contract and scanned it. Indeed, it stated that in three months, Juan would transfer all his shares in the Nichols Group to her."I thought you were joking, Mr. Nichols. But it seems you're serious," she said.Juan remained expressionless. "I'm a man of my word, but...""But?""I don't think you'll still be alive by then."Debra's smile froze on her face, and Juan continued, "I heard Drake inject you with a new type of drug. You've been pampered all your life, never knowing real hardship. If you can't make it through the next three months, the company won't be yours."Debra looked down at the contract and noticed a clause stating that if either party died within three months, the contract would be null and void.She sneered and quickly signed the contract."Don't worry. Even for the sake of your company, I will pull through.""We'll see about that."Juan's smile faded as he watched her go. He believed she would make it.As he exited the notary office, Joe appr

"He injected me with a diluted version?" Debra was surprised.She hadn't expected Drake to still have a conscience. But then, another question struck her. "How do you know all this?"Andrew explained, "Marion did a lot for the Bernard family, who had their hands in both legal and illegal businesses. At that lawless place, Marion suffered a lot and even got hooked on drugs. Doctors thought he was a lost cause, but he pulled through with sheer willpower and kicked the habit in a year.""How could it be? I thought Mr. Bernard was kind to him," Debra said, confused."Kindness? For people like us, there's no such thing," Andrew said. "Shawn saw potential in Marion and kept him close. Marion had to take extreme measures to gain his trust. You know, among the four families, the Houston family is the most capable. Marion ending up overseas wasn't an accident; it was part of Caleb's long-term plan. You were probably too young to know, but Marion was the most outstanding and mature among us.
