Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Liza and Garland rushed to the airport.

Debra couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to Bert's sudden illness. The last time they met, he was in perfect health.

"Hey, stop poking at your food. It's becoming mushy," Drake grumbled across from her.

Debra snapped back to reality, realizing she had poked several holes into her food.

Marion picked up dishes for her and countered without looking up. "Just eat your food."

Kale rushed in from outside and reported, "Boss, we found an underground passage at the Jovial Hotel. We followed it and found that it led to a church."

"A church?"

"Yes, a big church on Hailstone Road. The priest there holds sermons during the day."

"What kind of sermons?"

"I'm not sure."

Debra frowned. "The atmosphere last night was creepy. Those people wore masks, and it felt like a cult. Like some kind of ritual, and we were the sacrifices."

She recalled the events and continued, "Cathryn said she spent all her fortune on the setup. I don't think her money went to Conrad. It must have been given to those behind the scenes."noveldrama

Drake caught the key information. "All her money? What did her family have left? Marion took all their fortune."

Marion explained, "I returned it."

Drake almost called Marion a fool, but then it hit him. "You returned it to avoid being entangled with Cathryn, didn't you? For Debra s sake? How touching."

Debra was equally surprised. "When did you return it?"

Marion replied, "As I said, I'd remove any obstacles in our way. That wasn't a big deal."

During his years abroad, he had built up his own power. The Bernard family didn't

matter to him anymore.

Hisk of contacts was still

by returning the Bernat

family's wealth to Cathryn could ng

truly be free of any debt to her.

Drake laughed at Marion's stupidity. He'd never go so far for any woman.

Liza and Garland arrived home in the evening.

Dragging his suitcase, Garland

entered the brightly-lit hall and

hurriedly asked, "Where's my dad?

Take me to him."

"I'm right here." A voice came from behind him.

Garland and Liza turned around at the same time, only to be whacked on the head with a cane.

Bert grunted, "You two rascals, running away from home. From now on, you're not going anywhere."
