Debbie and they had Lunch together. ALL the other family members ate their food silently. No one dared to speak a word against Debbie at
Carlos’ presence. It has been said that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. They chose the latter option.
When the couple left the house, Valerie finally broke the silence and told James, “Just live with it. Don’t start a fight with Carlos. He’s going back to work tomorrow. We can deal with her then.
James let out a cold hum.
“But that means I go back to work, too! I’m not that free.”

The living room was quiet with only the sound coming from the TV.
Valerie cursed Carlos’ grandfather in her mind, ‘Douglas, why do you makehate you so much even when you’re ill and in the hospital?
You’ve kept Debbie’s grandmother in your heart for your whole Life.
You’ve missed out on her but you still tried to make her granddaughter marry into the Hilton family.
When you wake up, you’ll realize what a big mistake you’ve made…*
It wasn’t too long before Debbie began to feel exhausted and sleepy.
She hadn’t fully gotten over the jet lag yet. It was about two o’clock in the morning in Alorith. Her body wanted sleep according to her biological clock.
On returning to her bedroom, Debbie dove onto the bed and hit the hay immediately.
Shaking his head helplessly, Carlos had no choice but to head to the study and catch up on his work.
The next day, Carlos went to work in his branch company. Since he wasn’t at home, Debbie thought she’d better stay in the bedroom and avoid the other family members.
So she lay in the bed, and played on her phone inside the bedroom.

“I haven’t gotten over the jet lag yet. Is it bedtthere yet?” Debbie asked.
“No, it’s still early. I’m having fun outside,” Kasie said. Hearing the loud music and cheering on the other end, Debbie guessed that Kasie might be having fun in a bar. But soon enough, the noise subsided— probably because Kasie had walked to a quieter corner to talk on the phone.
“I saw your comment. I’m touched, really. Thanks, Kasie. You always got my back!” Debbie expressed her gratitude sincerely
“Of course! We’re best friends. Though Emmett deleted my comment and handled everything, watch out for Megan. That girl is bad news.”
Debbie had been aware of it. But to reassure her friend, she said, “Oh,
I know. Carlos is always busy, too busy to take care of stuff Like this. He doesn’t care that much as long as I’m not hurt.” To stop
Megan’s flood of tears, Carlos had asked Emmett to do damage control and delete all those comments against her. But that was all he did. He even told her that Kasie was Debbie’s good friend and that
Debbie would handle it herself.
