Chapter 1271
Everyone was deep in thought when Debra caught sight of Jordan standing a short distance away.
She hadn't noticed when he arrived, and neither had anyone else. They were all too absorbed in watching the
news to pay attention.
Randy followed Debra's gaze and looked over. He jumped. "Jordan, you scared the hell out of me. Why did you
walk without a sound?"
"I've been here for ages," Jordan replied calmly. "You were all so focused on the news that you didn't notice me."
"Kid, looks like being in the army really changes a person. | didn't even notice you sneaking up. You've gotten
pretty good at hiding your presence," Erica chuckled, patting his shoulder.
Jordan frowned. "I'm not a kid anymore. | have a name. Stop callingthat."
Erica wasn't bothered. "You'll always be our little brother. Don't forget who taught you how to do a spinning kick
when you were little."
As the tension eased a little, Debra spoke up. "Let's head to the office. Who knows what kind of chaos is brewing

rising, his ancestors were probably still shining shoes for others. Don't worry. I'll take care of him."
"Word sure spreads fast," Randy chimed in.
"Yeah." Erica nodded. "We heard people gossiping about the Carrillo family causing trouble the moment we got
there yesterday. But when we saw that guy half-dead from your beating, we didn't bother asking for details. The
last person who dared to challenge the Houston family like that? Who knows where their bodies ended up? I'll
make sure we settle this score properly."
As everyone discussed ways to deal with the Carrillo family, Marion suddenly grabbed Debra's hand.
"Cwith me."
"What's wrong?"
She followed him out of the house. Jordan's gaze unconsciously darted to them.
Once they were in the car, Debra asked, "What can't be said inside?"
While driving, Marion replied, "I'm taking you to the office first."
"Right now? Shouldn't we tell Randy and Mathis?"
"This is something we need to discuss alone.
His tone was calm, but Debra could sense that whatever he wanted to talk about was serious.
