Behind Liza, Drake spoke up. "That''s right. Who would darey a hand on Miss Eaton? That would be suicide."


    Liza crowed, "Tell me about it."


    Drake''s eyes grew even colder. Debra, aware of Drake''s disdain for the arrogant heirs of wealthy families, feared he might lose his temper.


    She quickly intervened, "Mr. Lowe is kind enough to take us in, and he was once engaged to you. You should be more polite."


    "Exactly," Gand chimed in. "You should learn from Mrs. Houston and be humbler."


    Liza was unimpressed. "But Dad said a girl should be tough and not let anyone push her around. Should I listen to you or Dad?"


    Gand was at a loss for words. From a young age, Bert spoiled Liza, giving her the best of everything and ensuring she never faced any hardship.


    This upbringing had made her arrogant and willful, believing her family name could protect her from anything. It had, except for that one time when she helped Cathryn and incurred Marion''s wrath.


    In fact, Bert was contemting whether to let Liza face some challenges. After all, relying on the family wouldn''t always be an option. No one would stand by her unconditionally after he was gone.


    "Marion and I are doing fine here," Debra exined. "We have


    everything we need. You''ve been out


    for long enough. Isn''t it time to go home?"


    Before Liza could respond, Gand cut in, "We haven''t had enough fun yet. We n to stay a few more days."


    Liza was puzzled. They had been in e for so long, and there wasn''t much to do. Yet Gand was


    to leave.


    Debra raised an eyebrow. "A few more days?"


    Gand stammered, "A few more days."


    "If that''s the case, why not stay here with us?" Debra suggested. "The more, the merrier."


    Gand instinctively wanted to refuse, but Drake interjected, "Wait. This is my house, and I don''t agree."


    Debra shook her head. "Well then.


    Vol


    think Marion''s injury is almost


    healed. Why don''t we go back Seamar City together? The medical facilities there are better."


    "That sounds great." Liza nodded eagerly. "There''s nothing worth staying for here. Let''s go back."


    Drake huffed, "What do you mean by that? Orkgate isn''t as good as Seamar City?"
