Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1601

"What are you doing?" Debra shot to her feet. I'm telling you this so that you can get ready. I'm not sending you to Orkgate and take her head off."

"Doesn't she deserve it?" Drake fumed, shoving Kale aside. "I can handle being played by you, but who the hell is she to mess with me?"

Debra ignored the rant. "Chill out. This is no rushed work."

"How am I supposed to chill?" he snapped. "Orkgate's my turf."

He'd just visited Seamar City, and now his home base was slipping away. Anyone would lose it over that.

"You going back now won't help," Debra said. "The Lowe Group's a tangled mess. You're the boss, sure, but you can't take on the Illuminati behind it. What's confronting Lara gonna do? You'd stand there, powerless to even touch her. That'd just piss you off more."

"Mrs. Houston has a point, sir," Kale chimed in. "Better to heal up first."

Drake shot him a glare, and Kale shut up fast.

Debra went on, "I faked some security footage and gave it to Fermin. Made him think the Illuminati had taken Liza, hoping to spark a fight between him and them. But even Fermin couldn't touch Lara. You think you're tougher than him?"

"What do you mean by that?" Drake's face darkened. "Are you saying I'm weaker than Fermin?"
