He composed himself and stated, “I’ve heard that there’s an arranged marriage in the works. The Hilton family and Elliot family. Carlos and the daughter of the Elliot family grew up together and make a perfect couple. Everyone thinks that they‘ll get married sooner or Later. James told the press a few days ago that the daughter of the Elliot family would be his daughter-in-law.”
Just now, Debbie finally understood why James didn’t like her. She represented a threat to their business interests. It turned out that he had chosen a daughter-in-Law a Long tago. Debbie was an unpleasant surprise to him. And his decision was based purely on the business advantages it would bring.
“I know. Not a problem. Carlos and I love each other. We’ll convince his father to accept me.” Carlos’ family might have sproblems with her right now, but that was no reason for her to give up.
“And Carlos’ grandma likes his niece, though she’s not a blood relative.” Hayden had done some research on Carlos. Although there wasn’t much, he found out something about his family.
Debbie was not blind. She could see that Valerie Liked Megan a lot.

Hayden sighed, resigned to his fate. He still couldn’t win her back. He said in a defeated tone, “Fine. Tellwhy you Lied to me.”
Debbie held the coffee mug to warm her hands.
“When did I lie to you?” she wondered.
Hayden smiled wryly.
“I thought you were married to Emmett, and you didn’t deny it.” He felt played, felt that he made a fool of himself in front of Emmett and her. He didn’t like that feeling, not one bit.
“You and I broke up. Remember? So I have to tell you who I married?
None of your business!” Debbie retorted with a sneer.
Her brutal tone stung. Hayden felt his heart was bleeding. He leaned forward and grabbed her hand resting on the table.
“Deb..
“Get your hands off me!” Debbie said angrily, trying to pull her hand out.
Hayden didn’t move his hands away. He held her hand tighter and pulled it close to his face to smell her scent.

Please.”
Debbie Looked around the coffee shop and found that Hayden and she were all the customers the shop had. She raised her voice and demanded, “Let go of my hand! Don’t push me. I’m getting pissed!”
Hayden looked up at her.
“What’s the worst that can happen? You already lefta long tago anyway.” Sensing her anger, Hayden conceded,
“Fine. I’ll let you go, but don’t walk away, okay?”
Debbie gritted her teeth and nodded. As soon as he let go of her, she asked a barista to bring her a wet towel to wipe her hand.
Embarrassed, Hayden gave a bitter smile.
