Chapter 181

Marion’s throat tightened. He reached out and supported Debra’s neck. Just as he was about to fiercely kiss her, Marion regained his senses. Suppressing the desire in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, “If you still think this way when you’re sober, I won’t let you off, but… not now.”

Debra’s eyes remained confused. Marion’s hand struck Debra’s neck, and she fainted into his arms.

Marion wrapped Debra’s body tightly in a towel and carried her out. Ralph and Rosalie were outside. Ralph didn’t understand what had happened, but Rosalie looked tense.

Marion emerged from the room carrying Debra. His cold gaze swept over Rosalie, who, afraid and guilty, averted her eyes.

“I’ll settle this score with you when I come back!” He left those words behind and hurried away with Debra.

Ralph, puzzled, looked suspiciously at Rosalie and asked, “What’s going on here?”

“It’s Marion’s fault! It has nothing to do with me!” Rosalie mumbled, then walked away.

In the hospital, Debra had an intravenous drip. She had been unconscious for over two hours. Her face was pale and extremely weak. When Debra slowly woke up, it was evening.

“Erica…” Debra’s voice was hoarse. Erica was by her side and quickly approached upon hearing her. “You finally woke up. Where does it hurt? I’ll call the doctor right away!”

“Wait a sec!” Debra grabbed Erica’s arm. “Where is Marion?”

“Marion and Randy went out. I don’t know where or why. They didn’t tell me.” Erica looked worried. “What exactly happened? I was scared when I received the call!”

Debra recalled being drugged, but her memories afterward were blurry. As she carefully recollected, the scene of her pulling at Marion’s clothes suddenly flashed in her mind. Debra blushed.

“What’s wrong? Did you remember something?” Erica asked nervously.

Debra quickly shook her head. “I didn’t remember anything!”

Erica was puzzled. “Why… such a strong reaction?”

Debra looked away, composed herself, and said, “I just went to the family banquet as usual. Rosalie arranged for me to meet Erick, the current head of the Copeland family.”

“The one who’s over forty, married two wives, and divorced them both, Erick?”

Both Erica and Rosalie were cunning, so Erica quickly figured out Rosalie’s purpose.

“How dare she? You are still Mrs. Nichols! Is she asking for trouble?”

“She was convinced that Juan and I would divorce, so she wanted to find a way for the Copeland family to climb higher.”

Debra understood Rosalie’s intentions, but she never expected her to plan such a thing at such an important family gathering. If she had noticed at the time, perhaps things wouldn’t have escalated.

“And then? Did she drug you?” Erica’s expression became serious. This wasn’t a simple scheme.
