Marion observed Debra''s expression and sighed, "With Ralph''s capabilities, he never could''ve made that ident look wless. It was all just a trap set by the Lowe family. Ralph took the me for a murder that wasn''t his."


    "What?" Debra was shocked.


    "The person who set Ralph up was the previous head of the Lowe family. He had been working with K for over 20 years. Drake traded this secret for his release from the police station."


    "You never told me this."


    "I just didn''t want you to be heartbroken."


    Debra felt a sharp pain in her chest. As expected, the car ident that killed her parents wasn''t that simple.


    "You weren''t worried about me being heartbroken," she said. "You were just afraid I''d lose my mind and relentlessly pursue the truth just like you''re doing now."


    Marion had been enduring all these years, trying to find the killer of his parents. He kept the pain all to himself.


    "Don''t worry. Even if I find out the killer is someone else, I won''t act rashly," Debra said.


    "Good." Marion nodded.


    Debra nced at Drake and muttered, "Even though the Lowe


    family was behind the


    Thet


    the


    real Culprits were K and the one who''s been hiding in the shadows."


    "Who killed your parents and mine is the same person. We''ll find him. I


    believe that day isn''t far off. not


    said. "I''ve already had William spread the news about Drake'' worsening condition. Those behind all this are supposed to act soon. They''d rece Drake with someone


    else or take matters into their own hands."


    William spread the news in the living room as Marion had instructed.


    Ivan paused from cleaning dishes, while Erica and Randy were both stunned.


    "How is this possible?" Erica said. "Wasn''t Drake fine earlier? How did something happen so suddenly?"


    "I know this sounds sudden, but his injuries are severe," William said, stifling augh. "It was just a final burst of energy."


    Randy nodded in understanding.


    "That


    he


    cins it. I felt strange when


    to stab Ivan with a knife


    despite his bad condition."


    "Who is dying?" Gand eximed,ing downstairs with Liza.


    William sighed, "It''s Drake. He doesn''t have much time left."


    "What?" Gand was astounded. "We just arrived, and now Drake''s in trouble. Are we his curse?"
