He and Carlos would never spare anyone who dared to hurt Debbie.
After hanging up on Carlos, Curtis dialed another number.
“Hey bro
It’s me, Curtis. My wedding is set for next month. Do cand attend the banquet .
At the Gomez Group
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn her four-inch high heels, Portia entered the hall of the huge building.
“Miss Portia.”
“Hello, Miss Portia.”
Employees stopped and greeted her warmly as she passed by them.
Portia, however, didn’t even spare a glance at them. She remained emotionless and entered the lift in a hurry.
She headed straight to the top floor and pushed open the door to the
CEO’s office without knocking.
“Hayden! Our headmaster’s secretary just called me. Originally, I was supposed to be attending a fashion show on behalf of the college. But he toldthat I was weeded out. Hayden, you have to help me!” she complained.
Hayden, who was working on simportant documents, put aside his pen and rubbed his arching eyebrows.
“Portia, you’ve gone too far this time,” he said. ‘And it’s rude to barge in without knocking, ‘ he added in his mind.
Portia’s eyes widened.
“Hayden, your own sister’s career is being destroyed. Yet all you have to say is that I’ve gone too far?” She couldn’t believe it.

You must have offended Debbie again, huh?” He had also crossed Carlos, who in return, had done something unbelievable to the Gomez Group in retaliation. The company’s shares had dropped dramatically, and Hayden had to work over tfor more than a month to make up for the loss.
He hadn’t had the tto contact Debbie or fly to England to visit her during the last month.
Portia was fuming. ‘Damn it! Does Carlos have his magical umbrella over the entire city? He has already found out what I had done and even got back atso quickly!‘ she thought angrily.
Recently, she had gone through days when everything had gone utterly wrong-she had no commercials in hand at all. And it was all because of
Debbie! In order to make her happy, Carlos had shut Portia out of the entertainment circle. That was why Portia had asked the pregnant woman to go to Debbie and drive a wedge between her and Carlos.
She had done it in a fit of rage. She hadn’t thought that Carlos would dig out the truth so soon.
Her eyes brimmed with tears as she yelled at Hayden, “Why would Carlos fall in love with a woman who was dumped by you? I thought a CEO like him would have better taste in women. Is he blind? What’s so good about her? She must have seduced him with her fake innocence!” She couldn’t accept the reality. She hated to admit that Carlos preferred Debbie over her.
Hayden poured a glass of water for her and said casually, “Deb is a good girl. You are blinded by hatred.” He really felt sorry for Debbie; his sister and mother had mistreated her.
