“What?” ‘Is she going to yell atin front of everyone or something?’ she thought to herself.
With a mocking smile, Valerie continued, “I don’t care whether you’re a bad student or not. But I won’t have a thief as a granddaughter-in-law.
Your behavior has brought shon the Hilton family.”
“A thief? What do you mean?” Debbie couldn’t believe her ears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtValerie said with a cold smile, “Ever since you set foot in this house, things have gone missing. I lost a string of Buddhist prayer beads,
Megan lost a limited-edition lipstick, and Miranda lost a limited-edition handbag.
Debbie finally got it.
“So, you think I stole them?”
“I don’t think. I know,” said Valerie firmly.
Debbie was at a loss whether to Laugh or to cry. Taking a deep breath, she defended herself by saying, “Grandma, you may not know it, but your grandson treatsvery well. He’s givena ton of precious gifts.
Each of them is much more expensive than your string of beads. As for
Megan’s lipstick, your grandson built a lipstick laboratory for me.
Well, Aunt Miranda’s limited-edition handbag might be valuable. But use your head. Your grandson provides forquite nicely. Why would I need to steal anything?”
Pride was written all over Debbie’s face. Not until now did she realize that Carlos had given a lot to her, and she felt so grateful.
With knitted eyebrows, Carlos stared at his grandmother and said angrily, “Debbie may be a bad student, Grandma, but she’s better than that. Quit trying to frher.”
Valerie scowled at him and snapped back, “I’m not lying! Before she chere, we never lost anything. She must be the thief! Besides, she always tries to bully Megan. If I hadn’t been with Megan, this woman would’ve probably beaten her. She eats too much. She’s lazy, and doesn’t respect her elders. She doesn’t wake up until noon. What’s worse, she even cheated on you. Carlos, I won’t accept this woman as my granddaughter-in-Law.”

She had done so much housework to please Valerie, but she thanked her by calling her a thief.
“I don’t give a rat’s ass what they think of me. But I do care about.
Carlos’ opinion. Does he think oflike that too?’ she thought to herself.
She didn’t dare to look Carlos in the eye, as she was afraid that she would see disappointment glinting there.
Carlos leaned against the couch, his face deadpan. When he heard
Valerie’s accusations against his wife, he held Debbie’s hand and began to play with it.
Debbie was left speechless. ‘What’s he doing? I thought we weren’t on speaking terms. Is he trying to defend me?
