Chapter 1175

    Drake wanted to argue, but Debra simply wrapped her arm around Marion''s neck and waved him goodbye.


    Downstairs, Liza nced at Cathryn''s body. Her former friend was now disfigured and lifeless. After a moment of hesitation, she tore off the ck veil from her dress and went over to cover Cathryn''s face.


    She had once considered Cathryn her only true friend, but Cathryn had never cared about her.


    Liza couldn''t help but feel sorrow, but there was no point in holding onto resentment. She wiped her tears and followed the others out of the venue.


    Watching them leave, Drake fumed. "They just left like that? Why should I stay and clean up this mess? Is that fair?"


    "Boss, it''s not fair. We should..." Kale chimed in.


    Drake shot him a cold nce. "And what about here? What about the people we''ve captured? Do you think these idiots can handle it?"


    Those guards were ashamed, further lowering their heads.


    Drake tugged at his tie in frustration. He hated wearing it, especially when he was angry.


    With a sharp exhale, he ced his hands on his hips and barked, "Search this ce thoroughly. You, bring me that old bastard, Conrad."


    "Yes, Boss." The men quickly set to work.


    Kale spoke up. "Boss, Conrad''s already here, waiting outside."


    "Bring him in."


    "Right away."


    Kale quickly had people bring Conrad inside.


    Flustered, Conrad bowed to Drake, who was standing on the stairs. Mr. Lowe, I swear I didn''t know my people would do something like this. Is everything okay? Your friends didn''t get hurt, did they?"


    Drake despised fence riders like Conrad. He walked down the stairs, pulled out his gun, and pressed it to Conrad''s temple. "You''ve got guts to block my people."


    Conrad was drenched in cold sweat. "Mr. Lowe, please, calm down. I didn''t know anything about this."


    Drake knocked him over with the gun''s barrel and kicked him hard in the chest. "You didn''t know? Do you think I''m stupid?"


    Drake kicked him several more times, leaving him dizzy and gasping for air. They rented and decorated your ce, and you''re telling me you didn''t know? Do you have a death wish?"


    Conrad''s forehead was bruised from the kicks. He quickly begged for mercy. "Mr. Lowe, I was wrong. Please, spare me."


    "Tell me, who''s behind all this? Who gave you the nerve to stop me?"


    "I''ll tell you." Conrad scrambled to speak. "It was Cathryn. She came to me and gave me all the assets she inherited from the Bernard family, 1 was greedy and agreed to help her, but didn''t know she was targeting Mrs. Houston."


    "Bullshit!" Drake grabbed his cor and pulled him up. "I told you to protect Debra, and now you''re telling me you didn''t know Cathryn was after her? Say it again. I dare you!"
