Chapter 728 Chapter 728 But if Marion wasn't coming, Debra didn't know what would happen to her.
The thought sent a shiver through her bones. She pounded her fist against the door, frustration fueling her. "Open up. I need to speak to Drake." "Save your breath, Ms. Frazier. No one opens that door without his orders." "So, if I die here, that's fine with you?" "Even if you die, I can't open the door without his orders." Realizing the futility, she stepped away from the door, her mind racing. Waiting for Drake to release her wasn't an option. She needed a plan.

Hours crawled by, the silence inside the cellar thickening like a shroud. Outside, Lara shifted nervously. It had been almost ten hours, and not a sound had cfrom within. Upstairs in the study, Drake was playing chess alone.
Kale entered, carrying a tray of dinner. "Marion's men seem to have vanished. We're still looking for their hideouts. Someone inside the city might be helping them." Drake barely glanced at the meal.

The maids on the first floor hurried towards the underground wine cellar, each carrying buckets and pumps.

Drake waded into the cellar, the wine now waist-deep. From behind him, Kale shouted, "Boss it dangerous." "BossXit@dangerous." "Debra!" Drake's voice thundered through the flooded room. "Cout!"
A moment later, Debra's head surfaced above the swirling winen gasping for air. Her once-white dress clung to her body, now stained a deep red. Yet despite her disheveled appearance, there was a glint of triumph in her eyes.
Drake was pissed off, letting out a dark, humorless laugh.
When Kale rushed in, he pointed at Debra and ordered, "Gether and take her to my room.
