“Are you afraid that people might know you are wearing a fake designer dress and fake crystal?” she


    taunted arrogantly.


    Debbieughed. Touching her crystal bracelet, she raised her right hand, which looked smooth after


    the skin care.


    “Since when is the daughter of the Gomez family so ignorant? Is the Gomez family degrading? Or does


    Hayden grudge giving you money after he became the head of the family?” Debbie fired back.


    From Emmett’s evaluation of Debbie’s dress and essories, Portia was being either painfully ignorant


    or simply insulting. If anything,


    Debbie’s dress for the night was something few divas could afford. Even her crystals were not ordinary


    white crystals, but rare natural ones.


    Apart from being pricey, Debbie’s essories had another significance.


    They were coveted Buddhist souvenirs. In addition to Crystals being one of the seven treasures, the


    bracelet she was wearing had been consecrated by an eminent monk, for psychic energy to charm and


    protect.


    The bracelet had briefly appeared on disy for sale at Shining


    International za the other day, only to be bought on the afternoon of the same day, by a mysterious


    collector. Most likely, Carlos had seen it on disy and sent someone to make the purchase on his


    behalf.


    Later that evening, he hade to the vi with a sweet surprise for


    Debbie.


    Today, Debbie wore brown nail polish and had an extra crystal—a ring on her right hand, which red


    in Portia’s eyes against the Light.


    Trying to conceal her envy, Portia said with a fake air of superiority,


    “Sorry to disappoint you, but the Gomez Group is thriving under my brother’s leadership. Also, my


    brother and I are on such good terms that besides my basic ie of $500, 000 a month, he always


    gives me more than double that amount. What about you, Miss Debbie? I hear you got married. To


    whom? A secretary?”


    Emmett might be respected by people because of his identity as Carlos’ secretary, but at the end of the


    day, he was not Carlos.


    Debbie took her hand back. She smiled at what Portia said, but she didn’t deny it.

    “What about him being a secretary? He works for


    Carlos. You should know that anyone connected with Carlos is influential and powerful.”


    She exhaled and continued, “You get $500, 020 a month or double that?


    Isn’t that peanuts the Gomez Group pays some of its highest ranking members? I hate to break this to


    you, but my husband gives me more than ten times as much.”


    Aside from the bank cards Carlos gave her, the monthly revenues of


    Orchid Private Club alone were more than 5@ million.


    However, Portia had no idea about that. She thought Debbie was married to Emmett, the secretary.


    ‘She is only the wife of a secretary. How dare she mock me!‘ she thought. Squinting at Debbie, she


    snorted,


    “Right. Anybody connected with Carlos is important and powerful, but don’t you forget that he is not


    Carlos after all. He is still just a secretary. So, what are you gloating over? Are you really expecting me


    to believe that a secretary can give you that much as pocket money?


    Do you take me for a fool? Or is your husband corrupt?”
