Cathryn's face paled as she realized that Drake had no intention of killing Debra.
"Then why did you even ask for my opinion earlier? How could you do this?" Cathryn's voice grated on Drake's nerves, making him rub his ears in annoyance.
He couldn't stand stupid people, especially clueless heiresses like Cathryn.
But given her connection to Liza, he felt compelled to explain, "If I killed Debra, wouldn't Marion come after me?"
Cathryn was taken aback. "So, from the beginning, you never intended to help me? You just wanted to kidnap Debra to threaten Marion?"
Debra chuckled, "Wrong answer. If he wanted to kidnap me, he would have done it already. Why go through all this trouble to have you negotiate with me first? He wanted to drag you into this. Now that you've helped him kidnap me, you're in the same boat as him."
Cathryn's face paled. She hadn't expected Drake to be so calculating. "Why me?"
She would rather have Marion hate her than know she was the one plotting against him.
"Because you're the Bernard family's heiress," Debra explained. "Your family may be weakened, but there are still loyalists who want to overthrow Marion. By controlling you, Drake controls them. It's simple logic, isn't it?"
Debra felt she had said enough. She extended her hand toward Drake, who frowned in confusion.
"What?"
"Give me some water. I'm thirsty."
Drake kicked the back of the driver's seat.
"Kale, give her some water."
"Yes, boss."
Kale tossed a bottle of water to the back seat. Drake opened it and handed it to Debra. Drinking water while blindfolded was a bit challenging, but she managed.
