Chapter 954

“Shut up! I don’t need your opinion,” Liza huffed, turning to leave.

Debra called after her, “Leave the invitation. I’ll need it in two days.”

Liza was pissed off, knowing Debra was taunting her. Her fists clenched at her sides, but there were more pressing matters at hand. So, she bit her tongue and flung the invitation back onto the table.

Debra scoffed, seeing through her intention. “Save yourself the trouble. She won’t see you.”

Liza froze mid-step and turned back to face her. “How so?”

“If she wanted to see you, she wouldn’t be ignoring your calls and messages,” Debra replied nonchalantly. “In families like ours, it’s better not to invest too much emotion. You treat her as your best friend, but she leaves you for interest.”

“You’re lying!” Liza snapped, her voice trembling. “You’re just trying to drive a wedge between us. Cathryn would never treat me like that.”

“Let’s make a bet then,” Debra said, her smile widening. “If you manage to contact her before the party, I’ll admit defeat. You can vent all your anger on me, however you see fit. But if you lose…”

“What if I lose?” Liza asked warily, narrowing her eyes.

“You agree to one condition of mine. I haven’t decided what it is yet, but when I do, you’ll have to go along with it,” Debra said confidently.

Liza snorted. “Don’t get wise with me. I won’t lose to you.”

With that, she stormed out.

Debra shook her head. ‘Liza is not a bad person, but her brain is a bit slow.’

Chapter 954

Marion walked in, carrying bags of takeout. Debra’s eyes lit up the moment she spotted the logo on the bag.

“How’d you know I was craving this place?” she asked eagerly.

“Someone was talking in her sleep last night and drooling all over her pillow,” he replied with a smirk, putting the bags on the table.

“I was hungry last night,” she said, popping a dumpling into her mouth.

Their nightly aerobic workouts left her starving and exhausted. By the time she was done, all the restaurants were closed. She could only dream of food.

“Take it easy,” Marion said, watching her eat. “Don’t choke.”

“I won’t,” she replied, sipping the coffee he’d brought her. “Did you see Liza just now?”

“I did,” he replied, chuckling. “I watched the whole show from the door.”

The guards had called him when Liza showed up. He’d rushed back, worried something serious was happening, but once he heard who it was, he relaxed and even made a detour to get Debra’s favorite food.

He asked, “Weren’t you worried Cathryn would soften when she saw Liza?”

Debra shrugged. “Not really. If she were going to feel sorry, she would’ve done it already. If she really saw Liza as a good friend, she wouldn’t be engaged to Drake.”

“But there’s always a chance,” Marion pointed out.

Debra’s smile turned sly. “That’s what I have you for, isn’t it? I’m counting on you to make sure Liza doesn’t get anywhere near Cathryn before the party.”

“Are you asking me to cheat?”

“Bingo.”
