Chapter 893
Debra quickly formulated a plan and walked toward the champagne tower that Liza had knocked over earlier.
When no one was looking, she bent down and used a shard of the broken glass to lightly cut her ankle.
“Ouch!” she grunted, drawing the attention of many guests.
Liza recognized the voice and turned to see Debra. Her eyes narrowed as she remembered how Debra had
wronged Cathryn.
She marched over, ready to give Debra a piece of her mind. But just as she was about to strike, Bert shouted,
“Liza, stop!”

“Enough,” Bert said sternly. “Today has been chaotic enough, and your spoiled behavior needs to change. She is
our guest, and she’s injured because of your antics. If you hit her, people will say our family has no manners.
With that, he approached Debra. She was taken aback, wondering what this notorious old fox was up to.

Debra was confused by the turn of events but relieved that she had avoided a confrontation with Liza and was
temporarily under Bert's protection..
She wondered if he was being cautious because of Marion's influence.
“Mrs. Houston, lethelp you upstairs,” the maid offered, gently assisting Debra.
As they headed upstairs, Debra glanced at Melody, who had been silently enduring the humiliation. Debra
deliberately gave her a provocative look, which infuriated Melody even
more.
Debra had thought Melody held significant importance in Bert's heart, but now she wasn’t
so sure.
