Debbie had caused a sensation on the Internet; the Hilton family was falling apart. Thanks to her, even a multi-national corporation Like
Hilton Group was in chaos. Carlos was never more impressed than now.
Stephanie watched him answer one phone call after another. Even his forehead was frowning.
“How did things get this bad?” she asked.
Carlos looked at her silently.

“You should have gotten rid of that bitch when you had the chance. Debbie is a troublemaker, and you let her get away with it.
At first it was just a personal feud between her and your father. Now even the company is affected. Hilton Group is now in trouble, and if you remove her, the problem goes away.”
