Take My Breath Away

Chapter 487: You'll Be Needing A Doctor

Unable to bear the smell, Niles held his nose and asked, "Carlos, what do you want?"         

    

Carlos looked at the mahjong tiles before him and answered casually, "Just enjoy the show."     

Debbie covered her nose and mouth with both her hands. It wasn't because she looked down upon beggars; it was because the stench was overbearing.     

She looked at Carlos in shock. 'I thought he was a germophobe? How can he be so calm?' she thought.     

Curtis and Carlos continued playing mahjong as if they didn't smell anything whereas everyone else had disgusted expressions and struggled to keep themselves from running to the bathroom to vomit.     

The bodyguards led the beggars to the bedroom where Stephanie and Glenda were. After the bodyguards whispered something to them, the beggars said in unison, "No problem."     

James had his back to the bedroom. He turned in an attempt to see what was going on, but his view was blocked by the wall. He turned back to Carlos and asked, "Who are they? Why bring them here?"     

Carlos removed a White Dragon tile and flashed a cynical smile. "There are two women in the bedroom. It's going to be a wonderful night for the guys."     

'Two women?'     

James' heart skipped a beat. "What women?"

"Mmmph..." James could hear muffled sounds of two women struggling coming from within the bedroom. Their mouths were covered, so he was unable to identify who they were.     

Carlos' eyes were as cold as ice. He had every intention of telling James who the women were. "Stephanie Li masqueraded as my girlfriend and bullied Debbie while I lost my memory. She even tried to drug me this evening. Her mother insulted Debbie. I need to teach them a lesson so they won't dare mess with my woman again."     

Carlos had already told Debbie and Curtis that Stephanie had tried to drug him. Fortunately, Carlos had swapped his drugged glass of wine with the other glass, and consequently, Stephanie ended up falling into her own trap and drinking it.     

James froze. It was not until then that he realized that the women inside the bedroom were Glenda and Stephanie. His mistress and daughter.     

The blood immediately rushed to his head, and he was as red as a tomato. He banged the mahjong table with his fists and roared, "Carlos Huo, you're pushing this too far! How can you do this to them?"     

Debbie felt elated when she saw how angry James had become.     

Without bothering to even glance at James, Carlos said nonchalantly, "You've got high blood pressure, don't you? You really should keep calm." Then he raised his head and looked James in the eye. "Why are you so nervous? Are you going to help them?" he asked, feigning ignorance.     

'Do I look like I'm nervous?' James was startled. He took a few breaths to calm himself down. 'Should I tell him everything and confront him? No, no! I can't. As long as I'm his father nominally, he can't deal with me. I still have a chance to leave this place.'     

Having made up his mind, James said, "Carlos, Stephanie is a weak girl. She's innocent. How can you get people to **** her? And Glenda just said something unpleasant to Debbie. Don't you think you're going too far by doing this? Just put a stop to it!"     

James' face and neck were all red, but he didn't realize that. He thought he was giving the appearance of being calm.     

"They deserve this," Carlos said. Since no one was in the mood to play mahjong anymore, he began to play with Debbie's hand.     

James had tried to put in a good word for the two women to save them, but it was to no avail. So he tried another tactic.     

"Carlos, how will you be able to live with yourself and be able to face Stephanie's father in the future? It'll affect the ZL Group's reputation significantly if this gets out."     

Carlos didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Frankie, who stood by the door of the bedroom, and said, "Let them enjoy the night."     

Frankie understood immediately. Nodding his head, he took a deep breath before entering the foul-smelling bedroom.     

Before long, everyone in the living room heard Stephanie's and Glenda's desperate moans. Debbie was sickened by the sounds and wanted to cover her ears to block them out.         

    

She understood now what Carlos meant when he said "Mother and daughter should share their weal and woe."     

Niles was the last one who realized what was going on. With his eyes wide, he complained, "Carlos, I'm still a kid! How can you do this to me? My white soul is tainted because of you!"     

'Carlos is such an asshole! The reason why he called me over is that he needs me to take first-aid measures if something bad happens, ' Niles cursed in his mind.     

Carlos picked up a chip and threw it before Niles. "Take it, little boy! Debbie and Colleen can take the rest of your chips and buy some candies for you."     

'What? No! My chips! I finally managed to win so many chips!' Niles cried inwardly.     

Unable to endure the horrible sounds any longer, Debbie and Colleen stood up from their seats and planned to leave the hotel.     

When Niles saw them about to leave, he took the opportunity to leave as well. However, Carlos stopped him in his tracks. "Stop!" he demanded.     

Niles turned to look at Carlos in confusion.

Carlos lit a cigarette and said casually, "You need to stay and take care of them. What if they die here? Then I'll be a murderer and my wife will leave with my daughter."     

Fighting hard to hold back the impulse to vomit, Niles pointed to the door to the Presidential Suite and asked, "Can I stand by the door?"     

"No! We're good buddies. We should share our weal and woe!" Carlos refused him outright. 'He is a devil! How can he remain so calm?' Niles thought.     

"Why didn't you call Damon and Wesley over? They're your good buddies too!" he complained.     

Curtis chuckled and explained to him, "Your brother is busy looking for Blair, and Damon was so angry at Carlos for what he had done that he blocked his number."     

Niles cast a glance at Carlos and wondered if he should block his number too.     

Carlos knew what he was thinking and shot him a warning look. "If you dare block my number, you'll be needing a doctor!" he threatened.     

"How can you bully me like this?" said Niles, pouting his lips.     

The three of them argued among themselves as if they were unfazed about what was happening in the bedroom.     

James, who had been closing his eyes all this time, opened them and stood up from his seat. "I have to get out of here," he said, walking towards the door.     

Carlos smiled and asked sarcastically, "What's the rush?"     action

Glenda heard James' voice and suddenly cried out loud, "James, help us... Mmmph..."     

When James heard her pleas for help, he stopped in his tracks. He couldn't do anything to help them, so he pulled out a small bottle of pills and put a few into his mouth.     

He then turned to Carlos and warned him, "Carlos, I can't just sit here and let you do this to them. If you still refuse to let them go, I'm going to call the police."     

Carlos exhaled a mouthful of smoke and mocked, "I am your son! Adopted though. The woman inside the room tried to drug me, yet you chose to side with her. James Huo, you value an outsider more than me?"
