Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1560

Lara also had a dark memory of the Jovial Hotel.

That was where she had overthrown Conrad, but she managed to keep her composure on the surface.

The hotel was still bustling with people coming and going. Debra held Lara's hand as they walked into the hotel.

The pale moonlight cast a cool glow on Debra's face. People around them couldn't help but stare. Everyone knew about the troubles in Debra and Marion's marriage.

Debra noticed the looks but kept a faint smile on her face. She knew too well these people were judging her, wondering how she would react to seeing Marion later.

Grover stood at the hotel entrance, welcoming the guests. When he saw Debra and Lara, a smug look crossed his face.

The last time they met, he wasn't important enough to stand with them. But now, he was the host of this grand banquet.

"Mrs. Houston, Ms. Sharp, long time no see. How have you been?" he greeted.

Most of the other guests were to watch the fun. In the past, Debra would have been the center of attention. But now, with her marriage to Marion on the rocks, she was just another face in the crowd.

"Mr. Trennery, you look spirited. Things must be going well for you," Debra replied, looking around. "And where is Ivan? How is he doing?"

Grover's smile froze.

Ivan had been used as a pawn and killed. Everyone in the circle knew, but no one dared to mention it in front of Grover.

"I thought this was Drake's place." Debra shrugged. "You never mentioned it."

"I thought it was a minor issue." Lara paused. "But ever since Drake went to Seamar City, things in Orkgate changed. The Trennery family took over the Jovial Hotel almost overnight."

"When did this happen?" Debra asked.

"Around the time you and Marion were here last," Lara replied.

Debra remembered. It was right when Drake was captured.
