In just a few days, Fermin had managed to uncover all of Drake’s associates. His tactics were indeed as formidable as the rumors suggested.
“The Eaton family may not be much, but we hold considerable influence here,” Garland declared. “You failed Liza and wronged the Eaton family. You know what? While we may not control other territories, anyone who dares to do business with the Lowe family will face our wrath.”
Everyone in the crowd was shocked. They had believed that Drake would rise there as a new star, capable of challenging the Houston family. But now, it seemed that this star had been snuffed out before it could even shine.
Debra struggled to stifle a laugh. She downed her champagne and placed the empty glass on a nearby table.

Drake halted, his outstretched hand dropping to his side. Garland also stopped abruptly.
