Debra pulled Marion's hand away. “Alright, no more talk like that.”
Outside, the night deepened. Lara stood at the gates of the Lowe Mansion, hesitating to
enter.
The security guards spotted her, “Lara?”
Lara froze in place. Her first instinct was to run away, but a glance toward the shadows revealed Marion's men
watching her intently.
Caught between flight and surrender, she noticed a black car slowly emerging from the gates. Her gaze drifted
to the figure in the back seat, and she stopped cold.
‘Juan? What is he doing here?’

Before she could make sense of it, Kale, who was escorting Juan out, noticed her presence.
He demanded, “What are you doing back here?
Lara was startled and instinctively took a step back. Her face went pale as she stammered, Mr. Mclean, it's
Marion and Debra. They sentback.”
“Sent you back?” Kale was skeptical. “Cinside.”
“Okay.” Lara paused and explained urgently, “I didn’t tell them anything. They broughtback and left.”
Kale didn’t even spare her a glance. “Save it for Mr. Lowe.”
Lara trailed him into the estate.
In the living room, Drake crouched low, holding a magnifying glass as he examined the dust in the grooves
between the floor tiles.
Rising to his full height, he turned to the cleaning staff. “This spot isn’t clean. Do it over.”
“Mr. Lowe, we've been cleaning all day,” complained one of the cleaners.
The entire cleaning crew had been at his mercy ever since Marion had sent them over. Every tthey thought
they were done, Drake found sabsurd excuse to make them. start over-cracks in the walls, smoke residue in
the bedroom, bird droppings on the air
conditioning unit.
The tiles already gleamed so brightly they could see their reflections, but quitting wasn’t an option.
Drake's sharp gaze swept over them. “Didn't Marion pay you? If he hired you to clean, you clean until | say it's
done. If it’s such a burden, tell him to pay you more.”

The cleaners lowered their heads, groaning inwardly about his fastidiousness.
Satisfied with their silence, Drake finally shifted his attention to Kale and Lara.
The moment he saw Lara's face, his anger roared back to life. Narrowing his eyes, he took a deliberate step
forward. “What brings you back?”
Lara stammered in fear, “Boss, | didn’t say anything.”
Drake stopped just inches away from her. “Did Debra ask you to deliver a message?”
“No,” she whispered.
“No?” he snorted, turning back to the cleaners. Marion's people messed up the garden out front too. Go clean it
up.”
The cleaners were stunned, and he added, “And mop the floors three more times.”
