Chapter 820

The car accident staged by Yvonne had badly harmed Debra. As Marion helped her into the bath, his eyes darkened, taking in the bruises and cuts that marred her skin.

Debra cupped his face. “What’s that look? Feeling sorry for me?”

Marion’s anger dissipated like smoke in the wind. He gently flicked her forehead. “I won’t get you into trouble ever again.”

“This was a special case,” Debra replied, rubbing her forehead. “I promise it won’t happen again.”

She hadn’t expected Yvonne to be so unhinged. But ironically, it was thanks to Yvonne that she had gained even more of Drake’s trust.

She pinched his serious face. “You have no idea how much valuable information I got from this close call.”

“Should I be thrilled about that?”

“Of course. I struck gold.”

Marion flicked her forehead again, a little harder this time. “If you weren’t already banged up, I’d bend you over my knee.”

Debra pouted. “You’d hit a wounded woman?”

Marion’s resolve crumbled. He sighed, his voice softening. “How could I ever lay a hand on you? If anything, I should be kicking myself. If I’d been more on the ball, you wouldn’t have been in harm’s way.”

Debra covered his mouth. “Don’t beat yourself up.”

Marion’s eyes softened as he held her hand. “Alright, I won’t say it again.”

A knock echoed through the door. Barton’s voice filtered in. “Mr. Andrew Potter is waiting in the study. He’d like to know when you’ll be joining him.”

Before Debra could respond, Marion called out, “We’ll pick this up tomorrow.”

Debra swatted his arm lightly. “We’re coming right away.”

Marion protested, “Debra…”

They could discuss business anytime. There was no need to rush.

Debra pinched his nose. “It won’t take long.”

Marion had to compromise, and moments later, they entered the study room hand in hand.

Andrew looked up from his desk, taking off his gold-rimmed glasses. “Ah, the lovebirds, grace us with their presence. I must say, you two are inseparable.”

Debra blushed, trying to pull her hand away, but Marion held firm. “Absolutely.”

He guided Debra to the couch. Andrew tossed a folder to Marion.

“Drake just announced his engagement to Miss Eaton. We need a coping strategy.”

“Miss Eaton?”

Debra was surprised. In her previous life, Drake had been engaged to Yvonne, allied with the Sharp family. The Eaton family was based overseas, having nothing to do with Drake.

Andrew leaned back in his chair. “Surprised me too. I thought he’d marry Yvonne Sharp.”
