Chapter: 55


    “I have something urgent to finish. So I’ll be leaving now.”


    ‘Well, actually I can call him Uncle. He’s so strict with me that he reminds me of my father. But, ‘ Debbie


    thought, still trapped in her own musings, ‘if I really call him Uncle, he will surely get irritated.


    The youngdy refrained from voicing out her thoughts, for if she did, it would throw out her entire n


    of not getting on the wrong side of her husband.


    But upon hearing Debbie call him ‘Sir’, Carlos could not help but furrow his brows while saying nothing


    for a while. Gracefully, he wiped his lips with a napkin, and said,” I’ll drive you to the university after you


    have breakfast.”


    He then opened hisptop, burying himself with his work. Once again, his walls were up.


    Although Debbie wanted to turn him down, she decided against speaking up. The youngdy could


    already imagine how he would react if she insisted on going to the university on her own. She did not


    want to be frozen to death by his cold re. Nor did she want to be thrown into the sea or buried alive.


    Well, not again.


    In a slow and cautious manner, Debbie walked over to the expensive mahogany dining table and sat as


    far away from him as possible.


    There was no question about how good Julie was at cooking. But Debbie simply had no appetite at all.


    His presence made it difficult for her to enjoy her meal. While putting food into her mouth, she kept


    stealing nces at Carlos every now and then. It was like she was not anticipating the slightest sound


    coming from her to annoy him. By the time she finished her breakfast, her forehead was wet with


    sweat.


    Thedy stared at her hands under the table. A stomachache this morning did not seem out of the


    question.


    When Carlos noticed that she was done, he stood up, picked up his briefcase from the couch, and


    headed towards the entrance.


    Sighing with profound resignation, Debbie grabbed her backpack and followed after him.


    When she got out of the house, there was a ck car parked right before her. Something about the


    vehicle appeared to be very striking, but she could not quite point a finger at it. Through the car


    window, she saw that Carlos was sitting in the back seat. Groaning, she did not approach the car at


    once. Where should she sit? Next to him in the back seat?


    The mere prospect of being close to him sent shivers down her spine.


    “No, ‘ she thought stubbornly, ‘I do not want to die out of fright!


    Hm. but maybe I can sit in the passenger seat.’ The young Lady was too focused on staying away from


    Carlos to notice he was running out of patience.


    “I have no time to wait for you,” he stated from inside the car. The harshness in his voice brought


    Debbie back to her senses. Darting towards the car, she opened the door of the passenger seat. To her


    disappointment, however, it was already upied by Carlos’ belongings.


    Left with no choice, she could only shut the door and sit behind with him. As Carlos was sitting on the


    left, she took the right side.


    Neither of them spoke another word while the car moved slowly. Casting a nce at Debbie from the


    car window, Philip noticed the girl lean against the car door, averting Carlos as if he were the gue.


    Sighing, he thought, ‘Debbie used to be a cheerful and lively girl. Now that she’s in front of Carlos, she


    looks so cautious and reserved. She must be frightened of him.’

    Twenty minutes Later, a ck Luxurious car stopped along the entrance of the Economics and


    Management School of Alorith University.


    Seeing luxurious cars at the university was not anything out of the ordinary as many of the students


    came from wealthy families.


    In fact, many students often took delight in parading their high status.


    However, the car that was parked in the entrance of the university was worth at least tens of millions of


    dors. Who could own such an extravagant set of wheels? It was for this reason that it caught several


    people’s attention.


    “Thank you, sir. Goodbye!” Debbie said hastily. As soon as the words left her mouth, she pushed the


    door open and ran as fast as she could.


    It looked soical, as though she were being chased by some fierce animal.
