Debra lifted her head, and Drake continued, "When she said this, it didn't seem like it was baseless." Debra
plotting against him was one thing, but opposing him here in Orkgate was a huge joke. Even if Ava wasn't the
brightest, she couldn't have made up such a lie.
Debra met his gaze with a calm defiance. "Yes, | did."
For a moment, the air between them seemed to freeze. Then, with a slow smile, she continued, "I told him if he
wanted to takefrom you, he'd need an army. And guess what? He panicked and ran off. Ava must have
misunderstood. | just didn't expect her to make up something so ridiculous."
Drake's lips curled slightly. "That sounds reasonable."
"Of course, it does. This is my first tin Orkgate. How could | have ties to a mongrel? And trust me, that man
won't cnear your casino again. Competing with you over a woman? He's probably shaking in his boots
somewhere." Drake gave a nhoncommittal grunt, seemingly satisfied. "Fair enough."
She almost laughed at his ego. If only he were as sharp as Marion or Juan, her little act wouldn't have fooled him
so easily.

"I had someone prepare all this sheet music for you."
"This is more than enough to play until dawn. This is personal."
Drake got up from the sofa and lazily told the people behind him, "I'm going to the lounge. Make sure she plays
every piece." "Yes, boss," cthe obedient reply.
Debra sighed, having to accept it.
In the lounge, Drake's eyes softened
as the music drifted in. Kale, who stood at his side, frowned. "Boss, do you really trust her? What Ava said might
not be all lies. If Debra
secretly contacted Marion's people, keeping her by your side could be a serious risk."
"You're worried about a woman?" Drake brushed it off. "You seem to have a lot of opinions about her."
"She is Marion's woman," Kale emphasized.
Drake's mood soured at the mention of Marion. "What are you getting at?"
"Marion won't just let his woman fall
into our hands. If they ese yrorking
