Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 793

No one in this crowd recognized her as Juan's ex-wife, but that was to be expected.

Orkgate and Seamar City were worlds apart, and the currency here was twice as valuable. It was reasonable that no one there had heard of Debra, especially since her family had gone bankrupt."

As Debra scanned the bustling venue, Drake suddenly halted, extending his arm in front of her. She frowned at the gesture.

"What are you doing?"

"As my companion, shouldn't you behave like one?"

"So?"

As she played coy, Drake withdrew his arm and snorted, "Whatever."

With that, he turned on his heel, striding toward the hotel entrance. Debra hurried to catch up, taking his arm with a sweet smile. "I was just joking. As your companion, I'll stay by your side every step of the way."

Drake was unimpressed. "I don't like jokes. If you do it again, I'll leave you here. The night here is cold. With your toughness, I believe you can hold up for several hours."

Debra forced a stiff smile. She wouldn't admit that she had momentarily zoned out, missing his words entirely.

Conrad spotted Drake and quickly approached. "Mr. Lowe, this is Mr. Nichols, President of the Nichols Group."

Debra's gaze fell on Juan, who shot her a cold, scrutinizing look. Dressed in a sleek black suit, he exuded authority, his features sharp as a knife.

He sneered, "I thought you'd really vanished. Turns out you just found another benefactor."

Seemingly oblivious to her doubts, Juan continued nonchalantly, "I'll head in first. See you later."

Drake nodded and turned to Debra.

"What's wrong? Feeling sorry?"

"Sorry for what?"

"For your fiancé, of course."

Drake continued as he led her into the banquet hall. "Marion is being locked up by that old relic of the Houston family. Maybe he wants to come and save you. I saw how you looked earlier. You seemed shaken."
