Chapter 1233
"She can't take your call right now," Marion replied.
Drake shot up from the sofa. "What do you mean by that?"
"Robert took her."
"Robert?"
Marion hung up the phone and headed straight to the courtyard where Robert used to live.
Kale came into the hotel suite with a cup. "Boss, what would you like for dinner?" Drake muttered with a heavy tone, "Debra is taken by Robert."
Kale froze, wondering about Robert's motives.
Drake took a deep breath. He had warned Debra before, but she wouldn't listen. Now the situation was grave.
He knew Robert all too well. The man was a cold-blooded killing machine, dealing with anyone who posed threats to Theda.
"Get the car. Search the entire city. Find Robert."
"But this is not Orkgate. Our people operate in the shadows here. If Marion's men discover them, all our efforts over the years will be wasted."noveldrama
"I said, find him. No excuses. Get moving."
Drake was irritated. He had always known Debra would cause trouble for him, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon.
Of all the people she could provoke, she chose Robert. Now this was a mess.
...
Late at night, the outskirts of Seamar City were eerily quiet.
Debra woke up to a sharp pain in her forehead. She opened her eyes to complete darkness.

He had hit her so hard that she hadn't even had a chance to fight back. The blood
on her forehead had started to dry.
The door to the basement creaked open, and Theda walked in, carrying medicine and gauze.
"It's Robert's fault," she said. "I'm sorry for his actions."
"I thought you could control him," Debra said, shaking her head weakly.
Theda knelt in front of her and began cleaning the wound on her forehead.

"This wasn't my idea, but that doesn't mean I hadn't considered doing it," Theda said. "When I was child, my family sent me to the countryside. My father was having an affair with my widowed aunt and followed her advice to abandon me there. I did the heaviest chores every day. I was supposed to be a pampered daughter, but I lived worse than the servants. My whole
world was dark, and I stopped talking to people."
She paused, her voice growing colder. "Until one day, they brought me back. That's when I started my revenge. To me, everyone in the Buchan family except my mother was an enemy, the ones responsible formy miserable past. I saved Róbert because he was another person being toyed with by fate. No
matter what he does, I'll forgive him.
In this world, we only have each other."
