Chapter 845

“You didn’t tell me about the engagement part,” Debra said to Marion. She had noticed something different earlier when she entered the banquet hall, but she didn’t believe Marion was behind it.

“Not my idea,” Marion replied. “When I was pushed downstairs, they only told me to change my clothes. They didn’t mention it was an engagement party.”

“They?” Debra’s gaze shifted to Randy and Erica. “It was you guys.”

Randy smiled awkwardly, and Erica quickly explained, “Well, the last engagement party didn’t go as planned. We wanted to make up for it, but who knew…”

No one had expected Juan’s arrival to cause trouble. It was infuriating.

Debra turned back to Marion. “I thought you were planning a surprise for me.”

It would have been a pleasant surprise if it weren’t for the disturbance.

Marion pinched her nose and said, “Who said I didn’t plan anything? It’s just that they took matters into their own hands and almost ruined my plans.”

“Wait, you had plans and didn’t tell us?” Randy exclaimed, feeling left out. Usually, for big events like this, Marion would ask him to help with the preparations. But this time, Marion had done everything secretly.

Erica tugged at Randy’s arm and said, “Calm down. Remember the ship confession? We didn’t know about that either.”

“That’s true,” Randy muttered, feeling a bit jealous. He refused to be outdone in the romance department, even by his best friend.

Soon, the news of the lively party and the Lowes’ subdued one went viral. Except for Marion, no one could conceive and execute such an underhanded plan.

Drake was furious when he saw the news. Just then, Kale entered the room with updates.

“Boss…”

“Have you found him yet?”

“Mr. Eaton ran away.”

“What do you mean he ran away?”

“His family can’t find him. We’ve been searching for him too, but we’re not familiar with the area, so it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Seamar City was big, and they didn’t have the resources and convenience as in Orkgate, making the search slow and painful.

Drake clenched his fist, his anger barely contained. “Fermin Eaton!”

Kale added hesitantly, “And Miss Eaton…”

Drake frowned. “What about her?”

“She landed overseas yesterday. She was forcibly sent back by Marion and is furious about it. When she heard you were in Seamar City, she rushed back. She’s already here,” Kale reported.

Drake sighed, “Ugh, she’s courting trouble.”

Liza was a spoiled princess, used to getting her way. Marion had warned her not to set foot in Seamar City again, but she had defied him and returned. There would be endless trouble waiting for her.
