Chapter 775
“Mr. Lowe, calm down and think about it. Why would I drug you? And where would | even get something like
that?” Debra reasoned. “Today, you draggedto buy a piano and new clothes right after | woke up. | barely
had tto think before | ended up in that lounge, unconscious. Don’t you think it’s a bit ridiculous to suspect
me?”
His earlier rage had clouded his judgment, but now, Debra’s logic gave him a pause.
“Mr. Lowe,” she added, “I understand you're upset, but you should calm down and think about everything you've
eaten or drunk today.
She knew exactly what she was doing, planting seeds of doubt in his mind. Drake's face darkened as he
remembered the tea from the lounge.

“Kale,” Drake called sharply. “Give that woman a good beating.”
“Yes, boss.” Kale disappeared instantly, leaving Debra and Drake alone.
Debra got to her feet. “Well then, I'll take my leave.”
“Wait,” Drake's voice stopped her cold. “Who gave you permission to cto the third floor?”
Debra’s pulse quickened, but she masked her fear with an air of nonchalance. “Someone broughtup here. |
was curious, so | followed. How was | supposed to know the third floor was...”
She trailed off, deliberately feigning reluctance Drake sneered, “Didn't you once say you wanted to stay here and
make money? What, are you scared now
Debra took a step back, playing along. “Who said | was scared? But what you're doing here is illegal. If this is
reported, your empire could ccrashing down. Frankly, I'm starting to wonder if working for you is worth it. |
might end up in jail before | see any money.”
Her words were bait, and Drake took it. “What do you think this place is? If anyone even- thinks about reporting
me, I'll destroy them. Every secret and every leverage in this city is in my hands. They'd rather die than cross
me.”
Debra’s mind whirled as she remembered the hidden cameras Frederic had shown her earlier. Those cameras
had captured everything, from every angle. No wonder no one dared to report anything.
Not to mention Drake himself, the other guests would not risk exposing their secrets and let that happen.
Drake suddenly ccloser, interrupting her thoughts.
“Ill give you one more chance. If you want to refuse now, it's not too late.”
