Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1000

"Debra!" Drake growled. "I came to track down the guy who set me up. Give me back the key."

"Oh, come on. Are you seriously trying to tell me that someone managed to smuggle out thousands of machines under your nose and set you up? No kidding. You're the CEO of Lowe Group, infamous for your ruthless control. Who'd dare cross you?"

Drake huffed, "Ruthless control? Where'd you get that idea? Sure, the reputation precedes me, but that doesn't mean no one dares pull tricks under my nose."

Debra dug at her ear, unbothered by his outburst. "You mean, this whole thing has nothing to do with you? Alright, I believe you, and so does Marion. But how are you going to convince others? After all, you were caught at the docks for transporting over 100 machines. Only Kale and you were found at the scene. How could anyone not suspect you?"

"I told you. It was a setup."

"And who was it?"

"I had the guy in control, but as soon as the police showed up, he escaped."

His explanation sounded weak, even to himself.

Debra stepped closer to him and said, "I saw it with my own eyes. Every machine we confiscated from that arcade was one of the Lowe Group's products. If I remember correctly, you prohibit selling those machines outside Orkgate, right? And your policy is crystal clear. Only your own venues can circulate these machines. So, no matter how you spin it, you're the one responsible. Who could move so many machines without you noticing?"
