“Um… Not as bad as we were. Why?” Actually, she didn’t know how to describe her current relationship with Carlos. They weren’t together, but they certainly weren’t apart.
“Is that so?” Lucinda’s voice rang with confusion.
“What’s wrong, Aunt Lucinda?”
“Here’s the thing. Your uncle Sebastian toldthat Hilton Group had placed two big orders with his company. Is that something to do with you?” Lucinda asked. Not like they minded, of course. To Sebastian and
Lucinda, the Hilton Group did them a huge favor by bolstering their business like that. They didn’t have to-they had so many other choices of who to go with. They figured Debbie might be behind it.

‘Wow! Carlos is nothing if not efficient, ‘ Debbie thought. While keeping an eye on Piggy, who was on the slide, Debbie said with a smile, “My scandals hit Uncle Sebastian’s company pretty hard. Their stock took a beating. So I…” Last night, she told Carlos that the
Murphy Group had suffered a lot because of their relationship, and asked him to do something to help Sebastian.
But Carlos made no promises. He just said, “It depends.” She’d almost forgotten about it, and hadn’t expected him to do something so soon.
Debbie didn’t finish her sentence, but Lucinda was no one’s fool.
“Oh really? You aren’t even back together with him, and you’re asking him for favors? What if he thinks you are after his money?” People who hung around with Debbie all knew that Carlos had amnesia.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Lucinda. He won’t. It’ll be fine,” Debbie coaxed.
“Good to hear it.” Lucinda was worried about Debbie, and felt helpless at the stime.
“Oh by the way, Sebastian mentioned something to me.
James bought a house. It’s not even in this country. It cost him almost a billion dollars.” She lowered her voice and added, “If you want to find out more, ask Sebastian.”
James had a ton of money, so a house like that didn’t set him back too much. But Debbie could tell from Lucinda’s tone that something was off.
“Don’t get Uncle Sebastian involved. I’ll meet him later to discuss it.

“Debbie, you…” Lucinda was not convinced yet.
“Don’t worry, Aunt Lucinda. I got this.”
“ALL right then. Need to go! I have a meeting. Don’t be a stranger.”
Piggy was going to Lucinda’s kindergarten next month.
Colleen also planned to send Justus there as well. In order to give the two kids a better environment, Curtis poured smoney into improvements.
“Got it. I’ll take Piggy to see you when I have time,” Debbie said with a Laugh.
After hanging up, she decided to call Sasha.
“Hi Sasha, where are you now?”
