Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

On the second floor, Jordan received the news. "Fermin?"

"Yes, it's definitely him," replied the guard, handing over the watch.

Jordan examined the watch. It was one of a kind, custom-made exclusively for the Eaton family.

In their world, watches symbolized status, and this one undoubtedly belonged to Fermin.

To this day, no one had ever dared challenge the authority of the Eaton family head.

"I'll go take a look," Jordan said, signaling for a group of bodyguards to follow him downstairs.

Fermin was already standing in the center of the lobby.

When Jordan arrived with his men, Fermin didn't flinch. Just standing there, he exuded an oppressive aura that made it hard for others to breathe.

"Mr. Eaton," Jordan greeted him. "What brings you here at this hour?"

"I don't waste time with pleasantries," Fermin replied curtly, extending his hand. "Where's my sister?"

Unfazed, Jordan stepped forward and placed the watch in Fermin's hand. "Miss Eaton found the place entertaining, so I invited her to stay as a guest. Don't worry, Mr. Eaton. When she's had enough fun, I'll send her back. She won't be mistreated under my watch."

A cold smile tugged at the corner of Fermin's lips, his eyes glinting with an icy intensity that seemed to drop the temperature around them.

He took a step closer, his voice low and menacing. "Do you think I believe that?"

Jordan's smile faltered slightly.

"You have three seconds to hand her over." Fermin raised three fingers and then pointed at those guards behind Jordan. "Or all of you will die."

The tension in the room hit its peak.

"Well said," a voice interrupted from outside the hall.

Erica strode in with a group of bodyguards, shattering the fragile balance. "Liza is a guest of the Mathis family. How dare you kidnap her without cause? I suggest you hand her over now. Otherwise, we'll raze the Royal Grand Hotel to the ground."

"Nicely put Jordan smirked. "But you think you can accomplish anything here with just those people? In Seamar City, there are people with more sway than you."

"Then count in the Osborne family." Randy's voice boomed from the entrance as he marched in with his men. "You might be riding high

as

the president of the Lowe Group, but you're just a big fish in a small pond like Orkgate. Seamar City isn't the place for you to throw your weight about."

Fermin raised both hands. "What now?"

"The Mathis and Osborne families joining forces. Impressive," Jordan sneered. "But you're not the only one to have backups."noveldrama

Juan appeared on the second floor, flanked by his men. He walked to the center of the balcony, looking down on everyone.

Randy's and Erica's faces darkened. As they expected, Juan was involved in this matter.

"Your words don't matter," he claimed. "I am the king of Seamar City."
