Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 686

As Debra and Marion walked hand in hand out of the house, Debra couldn't shake off a sense of unease.

"Is Caleb reliable?"

"Well, I can't say for sure. But you remember the engagement banquet my parents were supposed to have? Caleb wanted to handle that too, but my dad was against it. Now, he finally has a chance to be involved in my engagement, so let's just let him have his fun."

"Well, let's hope it's not too over the top."

She hadn't even finished her sentence when suddenly, the alarm sirens pierced the air. Squads of guards scrambled into formation, and a booming voice echoed from the speakers overhead.

"Attention! Mr. Marion Houston is about to get married. All departments prepare for security measures. All personnel on alert!"

Debra covered her face with her free hand, embarrassment flooding her cheeks. Hopefully, things at the engagement banquet wouldn't get out of hand.

When they arrived home, Debra found Erica had called multiple times, and when Debra finally called her back, Erica's excited voice burst through the phone.

"Debra, wow! You've finally shaken off Juan for good."

"How did you know?"

She hadn't even had the chance to tell Erica yet.

"How could I not know? The whole country knows by now."

A sinking feeling settled in Debra's stomach. She quickly turned on the TV, and sure enough, there was the breaking news.

[Mr. Houston to marry Ms. Fraizer.]

The news broadcast played on a loop, leaving Debra in shock. Caleb wasn't just announcing it to the family; he was announcing it to the entire world.

"I finally understand why your dad refused to let Caleb organize his engagement banquet," Debra muttered, shaking her head.
