“You want my husband to love you, don’t you?”
“I don’t have to want anything. Your husband lovesfrom the beginning. If you hadn’t popped into the equation out of nowhere, he would have been my husband.”
From the tshe arrived to the hostile reception, Debbie had been wondering if she had killed someone from the Hilton family lineage in her previous life to be hated so much by her hosts in this life.
Carlos’ dad had smashed a teacup as soon as she entered the house. Now even an 18-year-old was trashing her right to her face. Did they see her as a pushover? Debbie sighed.
“Calling Carlos ‘Uncle’ isn’t enough to show how important he is to you. Since he’s fostering you, why not call him ‘Dad?’ And since I’m his wife, you should call‘Mom.’ I’LL spoil you more than he does.”

“I am, so what? Come, come. Call‘Mommy’ and live withfrom now on. Then you can see your daddy every day.”
In a fit of rage, Megan stormed out of the room in tears. But before she left, she warned, “Debbie, you are dead meat!”
“We’ll see!” Debbie snorted.
Then with a bang, Megan closed the door, Leaving Debbie with so many questions. ‘Gail, Portia, Olga, and now Megan, why do they all hateso much? Is it something to do with my personality?’ Then she thought of Carlos’ family. ‘Oh heck, what have I done to deserve this?’
As soon as Megan left the room, she ran into Tabitha, who was Lingering outside the study.
“Megan, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Tabitha asked.
But Tabitha’s questions only made things worse. Intent on creating drama, Megan wailed even louder.
“Hey! Stop crying and tellwhat’s wrong, Megan,” Tabitha demanded, genuinely concerned.
“Who upset you?”
Since she realized how furious James was, Connie had been hiding in her room to stay out of trouble. But Megan’s wailing made her curious.
“Why is Megan crying?” she asked Tabitha, who unfortunately had no idea either.

When the Little brat finally stopped weeping, she said to Tabitha, between sobs, “I saw that James seemed angry to see Aunt Debbie, so I went there to comfort her. But Aunt Debbie didn’t appreciate it at all.
And she even callednames. Boo…hoo…
“Debbie called you names?” Incredulous, Tabitha looked at the door to
Carlos’ room and asked, “Why?”
“I don’t know. Maybe she was in a bad mood. But how could she take it out on me? It wasn’t my fault. To make it worse, she even had the nerve to tellthat James was cranky and I shouldn’t be here, because I am nobody to the family; I’m just a freeloader. Can you imagine? She boasts that she’ll only be nice toif I call Uncle Carlos ‘Dad’ and call her ‘Mom.’ Boo…hoo…” Tears welled in her eyes once again.
Just to create a scene, she started panting for breath; her face so downcast, you’d think she was going to pass out any minute. Even
Tabitha who had been skeptical at first was moved. ‘Could she be telling the truth?’ But then it didn’t seem possible that Debbie would stoop so low.
