Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 982

But if they both snuck out, he could blame it all on Liza. Bert wouldn't be as hard on him then.

With that thought, Garland hurried after Liza, making sure to emphasize, "Remember, I'm only going to Seamar City to protect you. This is all for your sake."

"I know. You're the best brother ever," Liza chirped.

In Seamar City, Randy and Erica were waiting at the airport.

Randy, with dark circles under his eyes, was seeing double. Everyone looked like Debra and Marion to him.

"Erica, we could've just waited at home," Randy grumbled. "They're not kids; they won't get lost. I finally took a break. I don't want to do fatigued driving."

"Oh, stop whining," Erica retorted. "I'll drive later."

Randy's eyes widened at the thought of Erica's driving skills. He suddenly felt wide awake. "You know what? I can drive."

Just then, Debra and Marion exited the airport. Debra spotted Erica and Randy bickering in the crowd.

"What do you mean by that? Do you think I'm a bad driver?" Erica demanded, twisting Randy's ear.

"Ow! Have mercy. You're the best driver ever," Randy yelped.

Marion cleared his throat, drawing their attention.

Randy's eyes welled up. "Man, you're finally back."

Randy sighed, "We didn't want to distract you. Caleb has stepped in, but Seamar City is a mess. Underground casinos are popping up everywhere, and the drugs of the Lowe Group are flooding the streets again. Nightclubs, bars, and karaoke joints are all hotspots now. Some of our business partners backed out suddenly. I went to see them, and they refused to meet me. It's got to be Drake and Juan pulling the strings."

Debra was taken aback. "Wait, what does Juan have to do with this? Isn't he overseas?"

Randy reasoned, "Who knows if he really went? Who else in Seamar City has the power to steal our partners?"

Marion frowned, deep in thought. Erica hesitated and said, "There's one more thing."

"More bad news?" Debra braced herself.

"It's Andrew," Erica said. "He's sick."
