Chapter 753
Late into the night, the square was empty. The mongrel, who had just wrapped his arm around Debra, quickly pulled away.
โMs. Frazier, I didnโt mean anything by that earlier. Please, donโt go telling Marion.โ
โI know you didnโt. Honestly, if it werenโt for you, Iโd still be stuck in there.โ
Just now, she had unexpectedly spotted William pacing outside the lounge. His appearance was good, but his accent was funny.
โWhereโs Marion? Has he come?โ
โOh, heโs here. The moment he heard you were in trouble, he flew over and dragged me along. I had to push back several surgeries. Ms. Frazier, you should compensate me.โ
But the news made Debra anxious. She grabbed Williamโs arm, her voice urgent. โWhere is he? You need to make him leave. Drake already has people ready to capture him.โ
โMarion loves you more than his life. Do you think heโll just leave? He guessed youโd try to get into the casino, so Iโve been posing as a businessman, gambling for days to keep an eye on things. Finally, you showed up. Letโs get out of here. This place is a nightmare.โ
โAlright,โ Debra agreed at first, but then something made her pause. โWait, Harland saw us leave together. Heโs probably already informed Drake. In less than twenty minutes, his men will be all over this place. We wonโt make it out in time.โ
โThen what do we do?โ William asked, panic rising in his voice.
โThe upper floors of the casino are definitely where theyโre hiding their criminal operations. I canโt leave just yet,โ Debra said, her eyes narrowing with determination.
โBut itโs too dangerous. One wrong move, andโฆโ William made a throat-slitting gesture.
โAs long as Marion doesnโt show up, Drake wonโt kill me. Since youโre here, it means youโve infiltrated this place, right?โ
โYeah, Marion came on his private jet. Over the years, heโs planted a lot of people here,โ William said and paused. โDonโt tell me youโre planning to take down the entire Lowe family.โ
โWhy not?โ Debraโs gaze sharpened. โListen to me. You need to get back to Marion and tell him to lay low for now. Have him rally all the manpower and resources he can to gather evidence on the crimes of all the powerful families in Orkgate. Iโll stay close to Drake and work from the inside. Once I have any information or clues, Iโll get them to you.โ
โThatโs too dangerous.โ Williamโs protest was cut short by the rumble of car engines roaring in the distance.
โThereโs no time. Go!โ Debra urged, pushing him toward the street.
If William got caught, everything would be over. He bit his lip, sprinted toward his car, and drove off.
Debra exhaled a shaky breath. As long as Marion stayed hidden, she would be safe.
