But now, her blood was boiling with jealousy. Recalling the scenes where she had deliberately taunted Debbie made Portia blush out of embarrassment .
She balled up her fists, and gritted her teeth in rage. She seemed ugly as she turned green with envy.
“Debbie, that annoying woman! Why can’t she just go to hell? Why is she married to Carlos? And moreover, Carlos spoils her so much. My brother had dumped her in the past; how did she become Mrs. Hilton now?
Why? Why?! This is so absurd!!’

As everyone watched on, Carlos pulled Debbie into his arms and kissed her gently.

The watch fit Debbie’s wrist perfectly because Carlos knew her size already.
Kasie pinched Debbie’s arm to remind her excitedly, “Debbie, wake up!
Forgive him! Con!”
Jared had already been squeezed a few meters away from them by the cheering crowd. But thanks to his height, he was still able to see everything clearly. He exclaimed, “Debbie, forgive him! Say you love him!”
Hayden clenched his fist tightly and snapped, “What are you so excited for? She’s not your wife.”
“Hey!” Jared yelled angrily. He really wanted to pop Hayden in the face, but seeing the happy couple amidst the crowd, he suddenly understood why Hayden was so pissed. Jared grinned. He casually rested his arm on Hayden’s shoulder and mocked, “Pal, you’re only playing a walk-on part in Debbie’s love story. Quit being jealous.”
Hayden responded with silence.

She raised her head to look into his eyes, and said in a clear voice, “I do hope I can forgive you, but you have been so insufferable lately. But, since you’ve spent so much money to make this watch for me, I’ll accept it. But whether I’ll forgive you or not depends on how you behave hereafter.”
Sof the people around them who had heard Debbie’s words were amused and burst into laughter; swere shocked, exclaiming loudly, and the others were just plain jealous and criticized her for being arrogant.
Carlos didn’t mind at all. He kissed her hand affectionately and turned around to announce to the crowd, “This is my wife, Debbie. From today, anyone in Alorith who dares to go against her will become my enemy as well. I will not let anyone who hurts her off the hook!”

“Carlos, it seems that you’ve irritated Mrs. Hilton yourself. So, are you going to let yourself off the hook?” a voice from the crowd asked
