Chapter 505

Debra hadn’t allowed herself to dwell on the car accident that had claimed her parents‘ lives and left her an orphan at such a tender age.

She had always assumed it was just a tragic accident. But now, as she sat across from Andrew, the past came roaring back, shrouded in a sinister new light.

“Marion’s parents didn’t die in that accident,” Andrew said. “It was all a ruse. Marion’s mother, Itzel, survived. Caleb sent her abroad to keep the truth hidden and to ensure she could give birth in peace. Soon after, Marion was born.”

Debra’s mind reeled. Rumors had painted Itzel Houston as a vengeful mistress, driven mad by her illegitimacy and resentment towards the Houston family.

But on the cruise ship, Marion had confessed that these were merely rumors. Itzel was no mistress, but Dwayne’s rightful wife.

“Who wanted to kill Marion’s parents?” Debra asked, her voice urgent. “And what does this have to do with my parents‘ deaths?”

Andrew toyed with a ring on his finger, his expression thoughtful. “Back then, several prominent familles guarded a secret about Seamar City. They were the Potters, the Houstons, the Osbornes, and the Fraziers.

Debra’s head snapped up with shock.

Andrew continued, “The Houstons, being a military family, held the most critical information. And your family, renowned for its scholarly prowess, was seen as a formidable asset in Seamar City. You married into the Nichols family because they valued the Fraziers‘ long–standing reputation, even though your family’s influence has waned in recent years.”

Debra remembered the stories of her family’s past glory. Her parents used to take her to their family shrine, and they would go back to their hometown during the New Year.

But since her father’s death, she hadn’t been back.

“What is the secret of Seamar City?”

“Marion didn’t want to involve you, so he kept silent. Don’t blame him. That team could save lives in critical moments.”

“So, you’re here to plead on Marion’s behalf?”

“I just hope you don’t do something you’ll regret.“/

Debra pressed her lips together, and Andrew added, “I can see you care about Marion. He’s willing to give up everything for you. Can’t you pretend not to know anything and embrace your happiness?”

Debra bit her lip, forcing herself to stay calm. “How did my parents die? Were the people who harmed Marion’s parents the same ones who took mine?”

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Debra muttered in disbelief, standing up. “How can you not know? You’re the head of

the Potter family. You have access to all the information. The fact that you know about the past means you’ve been investigating. You must know who’s behind this.”

Andrew broke into a violent coughing fit. Realizing she had been too harsh, Debra quickly moved to his side, her anger replaced by concern.

“I just want to know who murdered my parents,” she said.
