Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1127

That was a jab at his intelligence.

Drake sulked, "Who are you insulting? Of course, I noticed."

"You did?" Debra said. "I thought you were scared of Fermin's status, so you didn't kick them out."

"I was just being kind for your sake," Drake stated. "If they were not your friends, I would have kicked them out long ago."

Unhappy about her challenge, Drake turned to leave.

Debra quickly stopped him. "Take it easy. I was just kidding. I'm sorry, okay?"

"It's too late. Apology unaccepted," Drake scoffed, shaking off her hand.

But then, something occurred to him, and he asked, "Wait. You'd never apologize to me for no good reason. What do you want?"

"Well, I need a favor," she replied.

Ignoring Drake's annoyance, she continued, "Anyway, if I can find their hideout, you can take them out more easily. Just leave the investigation to me. Don't worry. I won't charge you any money."

"No need." Drake cut her off. "It concerns my family, and I'll have Kale handle it. If I find out anything, maybe I'll tell you. Just stay out of it."

"Well," Debra paused, "investigation takes a lot of brain work. I'm afraid..."

Drake glared at her. "Are you going to say I can't handle it or even mess it up?"
