Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 978

"But I heard you say you wanted to exchange true hearts," Marion said.

"I did," Debra replied. "My desire to save Liza is genuine. But that doesn't mean I have to die for it."

"So why go through all this trouble? Trying to manipulate her feelings?"

"Not manipulation but a little strategy. Someone has to take the first step in any relationship."

Marion sighed, flicking her nose. "Always scheming, aren't you?"

Debra grinned, her earlier sharpness replaced by a playful gleam. This move had been unexpected, but it had worked beautifully.

Not only had they caught Edgar, but Liza now owed her a huge favor. Even if there was some calculation involved, her desire to save Liza was genuine.

Suddenly, Debra remembered Frederic, who had been with them. When she turned to ask about his injuries, she found him gone. Edgar was missing too.

She frowned, wondering if Frederic had taken Edgar away on Fermin's orders.

"Hey, are you two done talking?" Liza complained. "It's freaking cold here."

She had tried to get into Frederic's car, but he had locked it, leaving her to rely on Debra and Marion.

"Let's go," Debra said, taking Marion's hand as they started to walk away.
