NovelEnglish“Of course not. I asked my boyfriend about it. He toldthat he knew
Portia, but that was all. There was nothing romantic going on between them. I wonder why you had protected that evil woman Portia for two years. She is always so mean to you.” Kasie’s anger increased as she spoke.
Debbie Laughed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“To think about it, I feel stupid too. But Luckily, I’m done with the Gomez family. Those two years is water under the bridge now.” Back then, she had tried her best to protect Portia, yet Portia always looked down on her. But even so, Debbie had chosen to ignore all of it and flatter her instead just because she Loved Hayden and Portia was his sister.
Memories of it drained Debbie. She didn’t hate Portia for looking down on her, though. It was her fault- she shouldn’t have sold herself short in front of that wicked woman.
“I heard that Portia’s parents and Carlos’ parents once had a meal together, at which Portia’s parents tried to hook her up with Carlos.
Although back then Carlos was 23, Portia was only a teenager. How gross that was! I wonder what her parents were thinking. At the time, Carlos had just joined the Hilton Group and wasn’t as successful as he is now, but he knew Portia was not good enough for him. He gave her parents a tongue-Lashing and left the table. How cool your husband was!”
Debbie wiped her face and wondered, “How cI never heard any of this?” That was five years ago when she and Hayden had just started dating. She had never heard about it from anyone before.
“It was so humiliating, of course the Gomez family buried it deep. But
Debbie, imagine the Gomez family’s faces when they find out that you married Carlos. I swear, it will be fun.” Kasie couldn’t stop laughing out loud on the phone. She was looking forward to the day when the
Gomez family would make fools of themselves. It would be payback tfor the unfair treatment they had given Debbie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDebbie disagreed, however.
“I don’t think Portia will care who Carlos married. She doesn’t Like him after all.”
“You can’t be more wrong! Your husband is a magnet. Showa woman who wouldn’t want to be with him. It’s not that Portia doesn’t Like Carlos but that she knows she isn’t Carlos’ type, so she finds it pointless to aim above her cut. Portia is always sticking her nose up in the air.
Why is she always so arrogant? Even as Mrs. Hilton, you are not that arrogant. On the contrary, you have kept your marriage secret.”
Hearing Kasie’s angry remarks, Debbie explained resignedly, “The fact that we’re married will cout sooner or later. In the beginning,
I kept it secret because I didn’t realize I liked Carlos and I wasn’t sure how long our marriage was going to last. Now I don’t want it to be in the Limelight. I’m not ready for drama. You can see for yourself how influential he can be. I bet sinternational movie star’s sudden marriage wouldn’t even be so sensational as his.”
Kasie didn’t understand what Debbie was thinking. But she was sure that if people knew she was Mrs. Hilton, no one anywhere would dare touch her.
“Do you intend to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?”
