Chapter 914
Liza had been unable to kick Debra out the day before in front of Drake, but today, Debra had to go. โYou sure? Fine, Iโll go,โ Debra said, walking toward the door. But no sooner had she taken a few steps than Drakeโs voice echoed from upstairs. โStop.โ Liza glared at him. โWhat do you mean? I told her to leave. Didnโt you hear me?โ
โMrs. Houston is our guest. It would be inappropriate if we let her leave dressed like that,โ Drake said, descending the stairs. He nodded at Kale, who draped a blanket over Debraโs shoulders. โI have to go out tonight, so Iโll have someone escort her home. What do you think, Mrs. Houston?โ Drake said.
Debra remained silent. Liza looked from him to Debra, her anger rising. โAre youโฆ I need her to leave now.โ Annoyed by her commanding tone, Drake shot her a cold glance. Liza faltered and fell silent.
Cathryn quickly intervened. โMr. Lowe is right. Letโs have her escorted home tonight.โ โButโฆโ Liza started to protest. โDidnโt you say you wanted to go shopping today? Iโll go with you. By the time we return, Mrs. Houston will be gone,โ Cathryn suggested.
Liza relented, albeit reluctantly. โFine, for your sake, I wonโt argue with her. Otherwise, Iโd kick her out right now.โ Cathryn forced a smile. Drake lowered his voice. โGo upstairs. Do you need me to escort you?โ
โAlright, since no one wants me here,โ Debra said, adjusting the blanket around her. She turned and gave Liza a provocative look. Lizaโs anger flared again. โWhat do you mean by that? Explain yourself. Youโฆโ โLiza, itโs alright,โ Cathryn advised.
โYouโre so arrogant in my house. Iโll tell my dad to teach you a lesson,โ Liza growled. Debra was happy to hear that Liza was going to involve Bert.
Chapter 914
If Bert found out about the schemes behind the banquet, Drake could give up the hope of aligning himself with the Eaton family. Given how much Bert doted on Liza, he would never let her marry someone like Drake. Debra hoped Liza would act on her words.
Kale escorted Debra to her room and instructed Lara, โKeep an eye on her. She leaves at eight tonight.โ โUnderstood,โ Lara replied. As Kale left, Debra said, โLara, could you do me a favor?โ โWhat is it?โ Lara asked.
โAfter I leave tonight, could you find a way to let Liza know that Drake and I are going to the banquet together?โ โBut sheโll cause trouble if she finds out,โ Lara warned. Debra smiled, โIโm counting on it.โ
