Chapter 181
Marion’s throat rolled. He reached out and supported Debra’s neck. Just as he was about to fiercely kiss her, Marion regained his senses. Suppressing the desire in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, “If you still think this way when you’re sober, I won’t let you off, but… not now.”
Debra’s eyes remained confused. Marion’s hand struck Debra’s neck,
and she fainted in his arms the next second.
Marion wrapped Debra’s body tightly in a towel, then carried her up in his arms.
Ralph and Rosalie were outside at that moment. Ralph didn’t understand what had happened, but Rosalie looked tense.
Marion emerged from the room carrying Debra. His cold gaze swept over Rosalie.
Rosalie, afraid and guilty, averted her eyes.
“I’ll settle this score with you when I come back!”
Leaving those words behind, Marion hurriedly left with Debra.
Ralph, puzzled by what had happened, looked suspiciously at Rosalie beside him and asked, “What’s going on here?”
“It’s Marion’s fault! It has nothing to do with me!”
Rosalie mumbled those words and walked away.
In the hospital, Debra had an intravenous drip. She had been unconscious for over two hours.
Her face was pale, looking extremely weak.
When Debra slowly woke up, it was already evening.

“Erica…”
Debra’s voice was hoarse.
Erica was by her side. Upon hearing Debra’s voice, she quickly approached. “You finally woke up. Where does it hurt? I’ll call the doctor right away!”
“Wait a sec!”
Debra grabbed Erica’s arm and asked, “Where is Marion?”
“Marion and Randy went out. I don’t know where or why. They didn’t tell me.” Erica looked worried. “What exactly happened? I was scared when
I received the call!”
Debra recalled.
She remembered being drugged, but her memories afterward were
blurry.
As Debra carefully recollected, the scene of her pulling at Marion’s clothes suddenly flashed in her mind.
Debra blushed suddenly.
“What’s wrong? Did you remember something?” Erica asked nervously.
Debra quickly shook her head. “I didn’t remember anything!”
Erica was puzzled. “Why… such a strong reaction?”
Debra quickly looked away, composed herself, and said to Erica, “I just went to the family banquet as usual. Rosalie arranged for me to meet Erick, the current head of the Copeland family.”
“The one who’s over forty, married two wives, and divorced them both,
Erick?”
