Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1235

"Because here..." Marion continued, tapping his temple, "you're not as good as me."

Robert's sharp instincts quickly picked up on something unusual. The area around the courtyard had been surrounded. Given the footsteps, he could roughly tell their number. There were at least a hundred people.

He couldn't believe Marion had mobilized such a force just to rescue Debra.

"As I said," Robert continued, "as long as I'm here, no one gets through."

His eyes glinted with cold determination.

"Sir, we've found Mrs. Houston and Ms. Buchan," someone reported.

Robert snorted, "That's impossible. Stop bluffing."

"They're in the basement of the Buchan Mansion," Marion smirked. "You like playing tricks, and I play along. Truth be told, I came here for you."

Robert was still holding the detonator, but it was no longer a threat.

Marion had figured out the game. At first, they hadn't found Debra and Theda in the basement because Robert had moved them. Later, when they were gone, Robert brought them back.

It was a clever trick that could fool anyone except Marion.

"Now you understand why I was the mind of the Bernard family all those years, and you were just the muscle."

"I am the muscle, and you can't beat me. I can just kill you and Debra. Then Theda can reclaim her power in Seamar City."
