Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1183

Outside a church, Drake leaned against his car, lighting a cigarette.

By the time he finished smoking, Kale had sealed off the church with his team.

"Anything?" Drake asked.

Kale gestured for his men to bring over a few boxes. Inside lay black cloaks and white masks resembling those from European theater.

"Nothing else?"

"No."

Drake picked up a mask and turned to Debra, who was sitting in the car. "Is this it?"

Debra looked at it and nodded. "That's the one."

"Pack them up and take them away."

"Your one-swoop takedowns are pretty polished."

"It's passable."

"That wasn't a compliment."

Drake had brought her there so early in the morning. She had thought there was some urgent matter, but it was just sealing off the church.

"If you shut the church down, how will we catch them in the net?"

"I've taken control of the Jovial Hotel. Do you think they'd still come back?"

"Makes sense. So, you do use your brain occasionally."

"Of course."

"I'm doing you a favor by eliminating a potential threat."

"Shut up. They're after you, not me."

"Same difference. We're in the same boat. I gave you the share transfer agreement. You don't know who they will go after once they find out."

"Come on. If it weren't for you..." Drake stopped mid-sentence, catching Debra's reflection in the rearview mirror. "I need to expand my influence in Seamar City. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the risk."

Marion's car arrived, pulling up at the church entrance.

Debra said, "Yeah. We both get what we want. Thanks for everything. Until we meet again."

Drake watched her carefree expression in the mirror as she left. Frustration bubbled in his chest.

He'd always known Debra would leave once her business was done. But when the moment came, he felt like he had suffered a great loss.
