“But there’s one thing | know. Drake keptaround as a backup for Yvonne. If something ever happened to her,
| was supposed to step into her role and take over her duties,” Lara said, looking at Debra. “It wasn't just
Yvonne's beauty that drew those CEOs to her. What they really wanted was the thrill of sleeping with the Sharp
family’s daughter and Drake's fiancée. After all, on the surface, the Sharp and Lowe families were untouchable,
but behind the scenes, those men were feeding their egos by having someone so far out of reach.”
Her voice dropped, her shevident. “Honestly, | thought if I could take over Yvonne's position, I'd find a way
to gather evidence against those people and expose Drake’s crimes. But instead of puttingin Yvonne's

intervene.”
She glanced at Marion’s men and instructed, “Take her out.”
“Yes, ma'am.”
After Lara was led away, she turned to Marion.

“Her expression gave herself away. Besides, I'd never let you take risks alone.”
“Were you at the banquet too?”
“Of course.”

“If he'd counted to three, would you have stepped in?”
“That's a loaded question. If | say yes, it means | don’t trust you. If I say no, it means |
don’t care about you.”
“So? Which is it?”
“Yes, | would've stepped in.”
“But he wasn’t really going to kill me.”
“I know, but I couldn't take that risk, not with you.
