Chapter 1110

Drake shifted uncomfortably. “Are you interrogating me?”

“How could I?” Debra replied innocently. “But you know, the people I brought today were trained by Caleb. He hasn’t left Orkgate yet, and knowing his temper, if he finds out Marion was hurt, he won’t let you off.”

“Am I supposed to be afraid of him?” Drake snorted.

“That’s why I’m trying to have a calm conversation with you,” Debra said nonchalantly, resting her chin in her hand.

Drake fidgeted, finally cracking. “Theda wants to work with me.”

“On what?”

“That’s not important. I haven’t agreed. I turned down Robert, and he said he wanted to meet Marion. You know, Marion threw him into the sea years ago. Robert wanted his revenge, and I just brought them together.”

“How did he even survive in the sea?”

“I’ve no idea. The world is full of surprises. Let’s just say Robert had good luck.”

“Good luck?” Debra laughed. “That’s an ocean. If you were thrown in, I doubt you’d survive. If Marion really wanted him dead, he would have just finished him off with a knife. And now Robert is alive and well, even plotting to kill Marion.”

“What are you implying?”

“Marion let him go on purpose. Just like he let you go. Don’t you get it?”

Drake’s frown deepened. “Stop trying to whitewash Marion. He is just an unscrupulous person who stops at nothing.”

“Yes, he’s ruthless to get what he wants, but he has never been a vile person,” Debra said, standing up. “I don’t want to get involved in your past grudges, but I won’t let you hurt him.”

Once Debra left, Kale quickly entered the room.

“Boss, did Debra come to settle scores? Did she hurt you?”

“Hurt me? Do I look like I’ve been hurt?”

“No?”

Kale had noted Drake’s sullen face the moment he entered. Debra was a master of sharp retorts. Clearly, Drake was suffering from them.

“She said Marion kicked me out for my good,” Drake muttered.

“What?” Kale froze.

“For my good?” Drake repeated doubtfully.

“Well, she is Marion’s wife. Of course, she’d speak in his favor.”

“Right? I feel the same.”

“Yes.”

Drake continued to mutter, “Marion kicked me out and effortlessly took over the Bernard family. And it was for my good? Can you understand the logic?”
