Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 777

The atmosphere in the room shifted.

"Get in here," Drake called out.

Debra stepped inside calmly. Since she dared eavesdrop, she wasn't afraid of Drake finding out.

Even if Harland hadn't shown up, she would've walked in herself and confronted Drake.

Drake's eyes narrowed. "It's you."

She didn't blink. "Mr. Lowe, you're playing a clever game, aren't you? I came to you with good intentions, hoping to cooperate. But it seems you've been less than forthcoming."

His voice dropped another degree. "What are you getting at?"

Debra took a step forward. "For years, you have systematically bled Ralph dry and ruined my family. Now your attention is on me. Every time I pressed you for answers, you dodged. Now I understand why. You're after the treasure in Seamar City."

Though Ralph had confessed to hiring someone to kill her parents, Debra and Marion had uncovered another layer of the truth. The car her parents were in had been tampered with. Someone else had played a hand in their deaths.

She had probed around without getting a definite answer. Drake and Kale's conversation just confirmed her suspicion.

Seeing that his deception was exposed, Drake didn't bother to hide it anymore. "You should be thankful you still have some value. Marion has abandoned you, and I suppose you know what happens to those who are discarded."

"Oh? How do you propose we cooperate?"

"I'll help you get the treasure and take down Marion. But you have to promise me you'll help me rebuild the Frazier family. Help me reclaim my position."

"That simple?"

"Yes," Debra paused. "Ralph is already in prison. I have no other family. Marion abandoned me, and Juan has long moved on. I can't live off a meager salary for the rest of my life. If you help me rebuild the Frazier family, we will continue to cooperate with you. Our fates will be tied together."

Debra's words left no room for doubt, and even Kale appeared convinced.
