Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1203

"Just let them go like that? That's too lenient." Randy shook his head as he watched the group walk away.

Debra replied, "They're just workers taking orders. They didn't complete their mission, so there was no money for them. And they got beaten up. Keeping them here is meaningless."

"Fair point." Randy nodded.

Debra turned to Marion. "Are you hurt?"

"Not at all." Marion spread his arms wide for her to check. "They couldn't even reach me."

Randy mimicked their interaction as he turned to Erica.

"Are you hurt? Let me check."

"What do you think? Just a bunch of weaklings."

"Aren't you invincible?"

"That's right."

Barton entered the room and said, "Mrs. Houston, Joe is here."

Joe stepped inside. "Mrs. Houston."

"What's the matter?" Debra asked, unsure of the situation.

She had just left the office, and Joe came to see her. It couldn't be anything good.

"I'll go with you," Marion chimed in.

Debra took his hand in hers and then turned to Joe. "My husband will accompany me. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Joe hesitated. "Mrs. Nichols Sr. wants to meet with you alone."

"You see, she's asking to see me, not the other way around," Debra reasoned. "If she doesn't agree, then there's nothing to talk about. She pledged the box to pay her debt to the Vargas family. She's welcome to redeem it anytime."

"Mrs. Houston..."

"If she won't accept my terms, then we're done here."

She wasn't so harsh with Joe because of his kindness in the past. Had it been anyone else, she would've thrown them out long ago.
