Chapter 907
Liza was in a foul mood, and Cathryn was in no state to comfort her.
โLiza, Iโm not feeling well either. Iโm going upstairs to rest,โ Cathryn said.
โWhatโs wrong with everyone today?โ Liza muttered, bewildered.
Upstairs, Kale pushed open the guest room door to reveal a room with windows nailed shut and door locks removed.
Debra turned to Drake. โWhatโs the meaning of this?โ
โYouโre the head of the McKinney Group, always keeping a low profile. The last time you revealed your identity, it gave me quite a shock. I canโt risk you escaping through the window,โ Drake replied.
Debra walked to the window, examining the iron plates that sealed it shut. She laughed suddenly.
Drake frowned. โWhat are you laughing at?โ
โIโm laughing at how smart you are sometimes. Yet sometimesโฆโ Debra turned to face him, her expression serious. โYouโre brilliant.โ
With the windows sealed so tightly, Marion would surely notice from outside. It would be easy for him to pinpoint her location. Perfect for a quick escape later.
Drake stared at her for a moment, his gaze intense. Debra stepped forward, extending her hands. โDo you want to handcuff me?โ
Drakeโs frown deepened. โArenโt you afraid?โ
โNo, Iโm not. Leaving here would be a living hell for me anyway. I might as well stay here. Maybe next time you see me in pain, youโll give me some drugs to ease it,โ Debra said, her voice steady.
Drakeโs expression darkened. He had previously ordered Kale to withdraw all the new drugs, and many clients had come begging for more. But Debra hadnโt shown any signs of desperation, making him feel like he was the one chasing after her.
โKale!โ
โBoss?โ
โLock her up. Donโt let her out without my permission.โ
โUnderstood.โ
Kale left, slamming the guest room door shut behind him.
Debra looked at the removed door handle and couldnโt help but laugh. It seemed Drake had prepared this luxurious prison for her. The room was spacious, with a bed, TV, bathroom, and even a bathtub. Anyone who didnโt know better would think she was on vacation.
Debra lay down on the soft bed, feeling secure knowing that Marion was waiting outside. She quickly fell into a deep sleep.
In the evening, Drake was in his study, reading the newspaper. Kale entered and reported, โBoss, sheโs still in the room, not making a sound.โ
โNot a sound?โ
โNothing.โ
โNo pleading? No demands?โ
Kale shook his head, and Drake lost all interest in his work. He pondered for a moment before asking, โDo you think sheโs doing this on purpose?โ
โOn purpose?โ Kale echoed, puzzled.
โShe deliberately let us capture her to extract information from me,โ Drake mused.
