Chapter 921
Just as Drake was about to shout "One," footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the banquet hall. Drake wrinkled his brow. Kale rushed up, exclaiming, โBoss, the Eatons are here.โ
โWhat?โ Drake was taken aback. Seeing people already entering the banquet hall, he quickly grabbed Debra and pushed her into Kaleโs arms. โTake her away.โ
โYes, boss.โ Kale dragged Debra toward a nearby corridor.
โMy shoe!โ Debraโs shoe had accidentally fallen. Drake spotted it and kicked it under the sofa. But the people on the first floor couldnโt escape in time.
Bert entered with Liza, only to be greeted by a lurid scene. Liza, who had never witnessed such a spectacle, screamed and covered her eyes.
Bert commanded angrily, โClear the place!โ Carter immediately went into action with the bodyguards.
The guests present were all Drakeโs clients who never expected Bert to suddenly appear. Their enthusiasm vanished, and they hurried away, while the women arranged by Drake scattered in panic.
Seeing the crisis resolved, Marion took the opportunity to slip away. His men met him outside.
โBoss, what happened inside?โ one of them asked.
โNothing major. Keep an eye on Drake,โ Marion replied, ready to remove his mask when another bodyguard spoke up. โJuan is also inside.โ
โWhen did he go in?โ
โRight after you.โ
Marion kicked the bodyguard. โWhy didnโt you tell me earlier?โ
The bodyguard looked aggrieved but said nothing. Marion glanced at the hotel, now sealed off by the Eatons, and vaulted over a nearby wall.
Inside the banquet hall, the lights had returned to normal. Drake descended from the second floor.

โMr. Eaton Sr., I didnโt expect your visit. I should have arranged for someone to pick you up.โ
โPick me up and see this?โ Bert slammed his cane onto the floor, his anger palpable. Drake, however, remained unfazed.
โThis is just a common business tactic. If you donโt like it, such events wonโt happen again.โ
Liza, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger, interjected, โDrake, how can you be so vulgar and shameless? And you call this a business tactic? The Eaton family would never stoop to such levels.โ
โEvery place has its rules. This is how we do things in Orkgate,โ Drake responded indifferently.
Liza grew more disgusted with him. She then remembered the aim of her visit.
โYou brought Debra to this kind of banquet. Does that mean youโre having an affair with her? Where is she? Hand her over.โ
โDebra?โ Drake muttered with feigned confusion. โDidnโt you ask me to send her back?โ
โStop lying!โ Lizaโs voice rose, trembling with anger. โThe maid at home told me everything. You brought her here and prepared all those expensive jewels. If youโre not interested in her, then whatโs this supposed to mean?โ
