"Shaken? Marion is such a weak man. Can his grandfather lock him up if he really wants to save me? He is just pathetic. Don''t worry. I won''t change my mind. In this world, no one is reliable but yourself," Debra said.


    "Well said," Drake replied, a hint of approval in his voice. He smiled, adding, "Once we bring Marion down, I''ll hand him over to you. You can do whatever you want with him-whips, canes, anything you like. I guarantee we''ll make him beg for his life." His words shook Debra''s nerves, but she kept her calm facade intact. "Alright, I imagine that day won''t be far off."


    As they stepped into the banquet hall, all eyes turned to them, sses raised in greeting.


    "Mr. Lowe doesn''t usually attend events like this. What brings him here tonight?"


    "Didn''t you notice hispanion? I''ve got the scoop that Miss Sharp has fallen from grace. Thisdy is his new favorite. Mr. Lowe brought her here to unt."

Although her body bore no significant injuries, a cut on her forehead marred her once beautiful face. Conrad had sent her to the hotel, fearing she would implicate the Sharp family.

    "But Mr. Sharp said..."


    "If you don''t listen to me, I''ll jump from here and make the Sharp family the biggest joke in Orkgate."


    Her face contorted in fury, and the maid, terrified that Yvonne might really jump, hurried toply.
