In just a few days, Fermin had managed to uncover all of Drake''s associates. His tactics were indeed as formidable as the rumors suggested.


    "The Eaton family may not be much, but we hold considerable influence here," Gand dered. "You failed Liza and wronged the Eaton family. You know what? While we may not control other territories, anyone who dares to do business with the Lowe family will face our wrath."


    Everyone in the crowd was shocked. They had believed that Drake would rise there as a new star, capable of challenging the Houston family. But now, it seemed that this star had been snuffed out before it could even shine.


    Debra struggled to stifle augh. She downed her champagne and ced the empty ss on a nearby table.


    Raising her voice, she said, "Mr. Eaton has made his point clear. Why is everyone still lingering here? Want to fight alongside Drake?"


    Drake red at her. "You''re enjoying this a bit too much, aren''t you?"


    But his threat fell on deaf ears. She said, "I''m leaving. I heard thestpany that crossed the Eaton family went bankrupt." "Debra!" Drake growled, ready to silence her.


    Just then, the guests began to leave. Only a horde of reporters remained, their cameras clicking incessantly.


    "Hey, don''t just take pictures of him. Get some shots over here too," Gand urged, but the earpiece red once again.


    Shifting his demeanor, hemanded, "Didn''t you hear me? Take pictures over here."


    Startled by his aura, the reporters rushed to capture Drake''s grim expression.


    Debra quickly stepped out of the frame,ughing heartily.


    Her eyes scanned the dispersing crowd and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

    Her face contorted with rage, Cathryn grabbed a knife and lunged at Debra.


    Drake''s expression tightened, and Gand freaked out, "What the hell?" He couldn''t let anything happen to Debra, or Juan would not let him off.


    Both men rushed toward her, but another figure moved faster, pulling Debra behind him.

    Drake halted, his outstretched hand dropping to his side. Gand also stopped abruptly.


    With a swift motion, Marion knocked the knife out of Cathryn''s hand.


    Gand


    relieved, but Liza was visibly shaken. She hadn''t expected Cathryn''s hatred toward Debra to


    run so

    Marion turned to Debra, asking, "Are you okay?"


    Debra smiled, "Yeah. I knew you wouldn''t leave me alone."


    Marion tapped her head. "You''re silly."
