Debbie explained with a smile.
Hearing that Debbie wasn’t there for Hayden, Blanche felt embarrassed.
Clearly, she had fallen into a pit she dug for herself. To save face, she turned to the aloof woman standing next to her, and said with a fawning smile, “Mrs. Hilton, this is my son’s ex-girlfriend. My son dumped her years ago, but she still pesters him. Sorry about that. I’m so embarrassed.”
‘Mrs. Hilton?’ Debbie Looked at the aloof woman again. She had the scold presence as Carlos.
But there were sother people who had the surn“Hilton” in the city. Debbie thought maybe she wasn’t related to Carlos at all.

“Mrs. Gomez, you’re wrong. Your son is pestering me. I think I may need your help to get through to him. Since we’re here right now, I’ll just say this: please tell your son to back off. I’m married.”
Blanche’s face turned hideous with embarrassed rage.
“What are you talking about? My son? Pestering you? Don’t be ridiculous! You hooked up with someone’s secretary and do sskin care, and then you think you’re rich and powerful? Get over yourself! You said you’re married, but I don’t see a ring. Maybe your husband can‘t even afford one!”
Just like her son, Hayden, Blanche also thought Debbie married Emmett.
Debbie took a deep breath and decided to ignore her. She turned to Mrs.
Hilton instead and wanted to give her a heads-up.
“Lady, if I were you,
I wouldn’t let my son marry Portia. Look at who he’d have for a mother-in-law. Like mother like daughter, you know.”
Mrs. Hilton Looked Like she wanted to say something, but she thought better of it and remained silent. Her son had been staring at Debbie with interest the whole time. She felt so disappointed.
Debbie’s words enraged Blanche completely. She viciously yanked Debbie away from Mrs. Hilton and warned, “Watch your mouth! Or I’LL make sure you won’t have one anymore! You slutty, nosy bitch!” After that, she turned to the middle-aged couple with an apologetic smile and said,
“Mr. and Mrs. Hilton, Lewis, this woman is crazy. Just ignore her.”

The young man, however, didn’t move. He hadn’t taken his eyes off
Debbie from the moment he saw her.
“I’m also worried that Portia would turn out Like her mom. How about I call off the engagement and be your boyfriend?” he said to Debbie.
Portia looked at Debbie with burning eyes. Debbie took out her necklace from under her clothes and shook it before Lewis’ eyes.
“See? I’m married.”
Not wanting to be noticed, she had been wearing her huge diamond wedding ring around her neck as a necklace.
Of course, Carlos found out she hadn’t been wearing the ring and punished her for a long tin bed. So she worked up the pendant as a compromise.
