NovelEnglishHowever, he knew that would only work for a time.
“Well, it’s not easy to explain everything in detail, Carlos. But in short, Debbie is
Curtis’ niece, and in the tough times that followed, he chose her over you. That should be understandable, I think. Any reasonable man in his situation would have done the same. To protect Debbie, he worked hard to take down all the negative news posts about her from the Internet.
Anyway, he didn’t know why I had told Debbie that you were dead. It was just a test of her loyalty to you, but she failed. What else could explain her rush decisions which followed almost immediately? Couldn’t she have waited a little longer, at least to confirm, or if not, to mourn her husband? It surprised me how quickly she replaced you with another man. You know what? Three years ago, under her influence, you put Lewis behind bars, on false charges. That woman has always been a problem, but you were not willing to accept it.” Thinking back of Lewis going to jail and every other disagreement in the family because of
Debbie, James fought to contain his tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarlos’ face darkened. Already, he knew Curtis was Debbie’s uncle. For that fact, what James was saying added up
“Here is the thing Carlos,” the old man said, a thoughtful look on his face. He then took a calculated pause, and studied Carlos for his reaction. When he was certain to have gotten attention, he continued, his pitch dropping for effect, “Stephanie has always loved you, and you should have stuck with her. And it was the worst heartbreak for her when you married Debbie. That’s the reason Stephanie left Alorith.
Despite all the pain you caused her, when she knew you had a car accident and Debbie had divorced you, poor Stephanie cback from abroad, just to be by your side. The girl has done everything possible to take care of you. How can you be so insensitive and ungrateful,
Carlos? Next time, please be wary of Debbie and her intentions. At every turn, she has proved herself to be unfaithful and unreliable. And
I hate the fact that you don’t seem to see through her deception.”
Those were weighty words for Carlos. ‘So her tears…her emotions…They were all fake, weren’t they?’ “I see,” Carlos answered after a moment’s silence.
“Son, you are my only child. Your mom is mentally unstable now. I wish nothing but the best for you. I hope you and Stephanie will live a happy life together.”
“Hmm, Carlos simply answered.
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask Megan. Her parents died while they fought to save you and Wesley. You two brought her back and doted on her. But ever since Debbie appeared, she always tried to slander
Megan and drive a wedge between you and her. She had another man’s baby and said it was yours. She used it to blackmail you, demanding that you send Megan behind the bars. That woman is heartless and plain dangerous, Carlos. Damon must have told you that Megan had been behind bars before, right? Anyway, the decision is yours. If you still think that woman has your best interest at heart, I’ll wash my hands of everything.”
“Put Megan behind the bars?
Now, Carlos finally understood why Damon and Wesley disliked Debbie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames kept throwing mud at Debbie, warning Carlos over and over against her advances.
Taking in what his dad had just said, Carlos remained glued to his chair, undecided on what to do. After what seemed like an eternity, he dialed Megan’s number.
“Hi Megan, I want to ask you something. It’s about Debbie…”
Half an hour later, he hung up the phone. By the aura around him, anyone who saw him right now would be scared to death.
Debbie’s wickedness was beyond Carlos. ‘She pushed Megan into the river, drove her out of the country and scared her from ever stepping in Alorith! Besides, she cheated on me, had an abortion and eloped with another man…”
To add oil to the flame, James had an assistant send Carlos a folder with evidence to Debbie’s unfaithfulness.
The stack of photos that fell onto the desk when he opened the folder was more than Carlos could take.
What on earth had Debbie turned into? Why would a normal woman hang around with a different random guy every time?
