"Yes, boss."


    The subordinates quickly carried out Drake''s order, but before they could get out of the hall, Juan walked in. Looking around the empty ce, he remarked, "Looks like I''mte."


    Drake narrowed his eyes. "You knew Debra was the head of the McKinney Group. Why didn''t you tell me?"


    "What?" Juan raised an eyebrow. "I didn''t know."Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Don''t give me that. She was your wife. How could you not know?" Drake snorted.


    Juan remainedposed. "We were only married on paper. I didn''t know anything about her affairs."


    His sincere expression convinced Drake, who took a deep breath and barked at his men. "What are you waiting for? Go smash the party." "Yes, boss."


    "Hold it." Juan stopped them.


    Drake frowned. "What do you want to say?"


    "The Potter family is reputable here. If you attack them, you''ll never be able to stand your ground in this city again," Juan warned.


    "Are you saying even you can''t handle the Potter family?"


    "It''s not that I can''t handle them, but it''s a hassle, especially since Debra has united all the century-old families. The Houston family alone is difficult to deal with. With joint power, they practically rule Seamar City now." "So, your family is useless too?"


    Drake hadn''t expected Debra to be so formidable. In Orkgate, she had appeared to hate men andck any


    backing. But in truth, she hany


    all the


    powerful allies behind her


    At least, in Seamar City, no one would dare challenge her.


    Juan said, "I think it''s better to back up for now. You''ve lost this battle. If you go and cause trouble, you''ll only lose more face."


    Drake huffed, "You want me to swallow this insult? To just take it?"


    Juan thought for a moment. "How about this? I''ll go see them and stand up for you."


    Drake calmed down. "That would be best. I appreciate it."

    At the Potter Mansion, the banquet hall was filled with guests. As Debra stepped out of her car, Randy was busy greeting the guests outside the mansion. "Everything goodtely? You''ve got a granddaughter Congrattions!"


    "Pleasee this way."


    "Oh,e on, no need for gifts."


    Debra got out of her car and joked, "Since when did Mr. Osborne be a doorman?"


    Randy quickly went over to her. "That was sick, Debra, stealing Drake''s guests right under his nose.


    I bet he won''t be sleeping well tonight."


    He had never imagined Debra could be so cunning. In this aspect, she could bepared to Marion.


    "That''s nothing. I think we should


    make sure the security is in ce


    With Drake''s temper, he''ll likely send


    someone to cause trouble," Debra


    said.


    BUMS


    But Randy brushed off her concern. "Cause trouble here? That would be a first. If he dares, I''ll be impressed."
