Chapter 925
The car ride back to the Lowe Mansion was filled with heavy silence.
Debra, forced to wear handcuffs and a blindfold, heard nothing but the hurn of the engine.
She decided to break the silence.
“Feeling down?”
“Shut up.”
“What happened after Mr. Eaton Sr. showed up?”
“Want me shut?”

Debra couldn’t help but feel a twinge of satisfaction at Drake’s anger.
It was clear that his engagement to Liza was on the rocks. Without the Eaton family’s support, Drake’s business there would crumble.
It wouldn’t take more than a week for their operations to fold, and those business owners, who had been trying to curry favor with him, would have to reassess their strategies.
Drake’s foul mood was understandable.
“Boss, tonight’s events were suspicious,” Kale said. “Miss Eaton mentioned that a maid told her about Mrs. Houston accompanying you to the banquet. Should we investigate it?”
“Of course,” Drake said. “Find that maid and bring her to my study. I’ll question her in person.”
Debra frowned, frustrated about Liza’s big mouth and worried about Lara’s safety. In the villa, Liza was instructing the servants to pack her and Cathryn’s belongings. Cathryn was confused. “Liza, what are you doing?”
“You have no idea how despicable Drake is,” Liza seethed. “I thought he was just low- class, but he’s rotten to the core.”
She gritted her teeth, eager to tell Cathryn everything she had seen at the banquet, but on second thought, she held back.
Cathryn had never experienced such things, and Liza didn’t want to burden her with such sordid details.
“Just trust me on this,” Liza said, taking Cathryn’s hand. “Stay away from men like Drake. You shouldn’t have anything to do with him.”
Cathryn guessed something bad had happened between Liza and Drake.

Trying to calm down Liza, she said, “He is your fiancé, and you don’t have to fuss over trivial things.
“Humph, my dad has agreed to call off the engagement,” Liza declared. “We’re done.
“But…” Cathryn tried to reason.
“Drake is not a good person,” Liza insisted. “Do you him?”

Drake’s car pulled up to the front gate, and Debra caught sight of Liza inside.
“Crap!” Debra quickly hid.
Drake frowned at her reaction. “What are you doing?”
“What do you think?” Debra retorted. “If I go in there now, she will tear me to pieces.”
Drake snorted and pulled her out. “What are you afraid of? She’s no longer my fiancée.”
He then dragged her through the gates.
“You’re crazy!” Debra protested, struggling to free herself.
But no matter how hard she tried, it was futile against his strength.
