Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 721

Debra lifted the lid of the gift box. Inside lay a sleek bank card with a small slip of paper showing the PIN.

"What's this?"

"Just take it. I'm a top-tier actor now. You think I can't afford a little gift like this?"

"Alright then, I'll accept it."

Across the room, Marion caught her eye. He was dressed impeccably, his tailored suit fitting him perfectly, every strand of his hair in place. As he moved through the crowd, toasting guests with charming ease, he stole a glance at her. Their eyes met, and they exchanged a subtle, knowing smile.

After tonight, Marion would officially be her fiancé.

The thought filled her with a warm glow, her heart fluttering with excitement.

But before she could fully savor the moment, a security guard hurried over.

"Mr. Andrew Potter had a fall as he was leaving. You should come quickly."

"What?" Debra's face tightened with concern.

Andrew always had his butler by his side. It was unbelievable he fell.

"Let's go check it out together," Erica suggested.

"Alright," Debra agreed.

As the hostess of the banquet, she had to deal with anything unexpected.

They quickly followed the security guard out.

Meanwhile, in a quiet corner of the venue, Cathryn watched Marion like a hawk. Mustering her nerve, she approached him, blocking his view.

Raising her glass, she offered a tight smile. "Marion, congratulations on your engagement. Allow me to toast you."

Marion didn't refuse. He lifted his champagne flute, clinked her glass lightly, and then turned to walk away.

Debra and Erica followed him to where Andrew's car was parked, but before they could reach it, a muffled groan cut through the silence.

Debra spun around just in time to see Erica crumple to the ground, unconscious.

A cold knot of fear twisted in Debra's gut. Before she could react, a rough hand clamped a cloth over her mouth.

A familiar voice hissed in her ear, low and menacing. "Long time no see, Debra."

It was none other than Drake.

The drug worked fast, and Debra's body slumped into his waiting arms.

Nearby, inside a shadowy van, Kale glanced over at Erica, who lay motionless on the ground.

He looked up at Drake. "Boss, what about her?"

"Leave her," Drake replied. "Tell Marion I took Debra."
