From Juan''s expression, Debra could tell he couldn''t let go either.

They needed to avenge their families. At the same time, they couldn''t let the Illuminati harm those around them.

To do that, they needed to know both themselves and their enemies. That was the key to victory and what Andrew had taught her.

"If you''re scared, I''ll handle it," she said. "I never nned to tell you about this. Now I hope you''ll respect my choice."

Juan pressed his lips together, not saying anything else.

Whether it was the past or now, he always loved Debra in his own way. He thought he could protect her, but in the end, he never understood her.

Making choices for others, no matter how noble it sounded, would often cause more trouble.

"Alright, do it your way," he said. "But remember, if something happens to you, the people around you won''t be happy."

"Don''t worry. To survive, I''d let go of my pride rather than be headstrong with those people."

"Alright. If you ever need anything, send Ben to find me."

"Okay."

Jordan stepped forward and pulled her behind him. "Don''t bother. The Potter family can protect her just fine."

Juan ignored him and turned to leave.

Jordan didn''t hide his annoyance. "What a pain!"

"Come on, he''s just trying to help," Debra said. "I''ll have to trouble you and stay here for a while."

"No worries. You can stay for as long as you like. But Marion..."fnf7ff Newest update provided by find?novel/fnf7ff

"He shouldn''t being back for now."

Drake didn''t miss the dimming of her eyes, but he said nothing.

Jordan reassured her, "Whether hees back or not, I promised Andrew I''d take good care of you."

Debra looked up in surprise, and he quickly looked away.

"I''ll have someone prepare a room for you."

"Okay."

Debra didn''t think much of it. After Jordan left, she was about to leave as well.

Drake called out, "Wait."

"Anything else?"

"Why were you lying?"

"What do you mean?"

"Jeffery was responsible for your parents'' deaths, but he is already dead. The grudge is settled. Even though the Illuminati was involved, you''re not the type to seek out danger. You didn''t have to go overseas and investigate them. They weren''t nning to target you or Marion, after all."

"Says who? We came to this just because of them."

"That''s because you crossed a line by investigating them. Stop pretending. You know what I''m talking about."
