NovelEnglishHaving been left at such a loss for words, Miranda stopped dead in her tracks. It was as though Debbie had perfectly read her mind. In fact, that was precisely the reason why she had been treating her so cold
ALL throughout these past three years, she would get upset every single tshe thought of Debbie.
She used to have such a good impression of Debbie, believing that she was the one who had been destined for Carlos. Be that as it may, from what she had been told, Debbie left Carlos after the unfortunate car accident and filed for a divorce, had an abortion, and in the end, eloped with another man. Getting so saddened by that, she felt so utterly disappointed in Debbie.
Miranda didn’t bother looking at her, and she didn’t give her any sort of answer as well.
Debbie went ahead and added, “James trickedinto believing that

But Aunt Miranda, if I can find a way to prove myself to you and that I’m telling you the truth, I hope that you will helpwin Carlos back again. Would you please dothis favor? If I have to beg, then I’m willing to do that. This way,
Carlos will also end up being able to regain the executive rights to the Hilton Group. Isn’t that right?”
Everything that Debbie just said sounded quite believable and was within reason. As a matter of fact, James had won the support of the senior managers and successfully secured his position in the company while Carlos was still in a coma.
No one was capable of making him step down apart from Carlos. Having said that, James had done such a good job pretending to be a respectable father while Carlos was suffering from memory loss.
Because of that, the amnesiac Carlos had complete trust in him, and not once had the thought of taking back the Hilton Group ever cto his mind.
Whenever she would get the chance to speak with Carlos in private,
Miranda would always try to remind him that he could easily take back his position in the company. However, Carlos would just simply refuse considering the idea every single time. It even cto a point where he actually gave her a fair warning not to sow the seeds of discord between him and his father.
Given that Miranda still wasn’t saying anything and just kept quiet,
Debbie tried asking once more, “There’s something else I’ve been meaning to ask you about, Aunt Miranda. Was it also James who told everyone what the cause of the car accident was? Did he tell you that it was because the truck driver had been extremely exhausted while he was driving?” With the cause of the car accident being mentioned,
Miranda finally turned around to look at Debbie. This was something she wasn’t expecting to hear, so her curiosity had gotten piqued.
A bit taken aback, she asked her directly, “What are you trying to imply from that?”
Seeming so resolute, Debbie peered straight into her eyes.

“Bite your tongue!” Feeling so anxious, Miranda Looked over towards the door. Upon checking through the glass window and making sure that no one was standing outside the room, she flatly said, “You
should be acting your age. Are you not aware that out of the mouth comes evil? Be mindful of what you say. For now, why don’t you head back to Alorith?
And don’t cback until you could bringsproof that would be enough to prove your innocence. If you can’t cup with anything to prove yourself, I’m telling you right now that you shouldn’t expect getting any help from me, and I will even help James get rid of you!”
With her eyes bloodshot, a smile crept onto Debbie’s face. Finally, she pulled it off and somewhat managed to convince Miranda to give her a chance. As her voice was breaking, she said with gratitude, “Thank you so much, Aunt Miranda. I will go back right away.”
As she watched Debbie walk away and leave the room, Miranda tried to catch her breath and plopped down on the sofa, losing the strength on her legs. Lowering her head, she reflected on the information Debbie had just given her.
In Alorith
The moment Stephanie wrapped up her meeting and stepped out the conference room, her phone suddenly rang.
“Hello?” she said upon picking it up.
“Stephanie, were you trying to reach me? I was a bit preoccupied earlier,” the person on the other end of the call responded.
