“Your room?” Valerie walked over and red at Debbie.


    “Debbie, you saw it yourself. Not that we don’t wee you, but you ruined the peace in this family.


    “It seemed true. Debbie forced her tears back and apologized, “I’m sorry—”


    As soon as the words came out, Carlos squeezed her hand.


    Valerie gazed at her grimly.


    “I don’t need your apology. I’m sure you’ve shaved years off my life. Divorce Carlos if you’re not trying


    to make me die soon.”


    ‘Divorce!’ Debbie’s heart twisted into a knot.


    “Here’s what you do. Call thewyer. Now. Ask him to write up the divorce papers. As Long as you sign


    the papers without making a fuss, we may consider paying you alimony.”


    Debbie was lost for words. Carlos pulled her behind him protectively and confronted the old Lady.


    “Since when does any of you get to make decisions about my marriage, Grandma?”


    Valerie met his eyes.


    “Carlos, you used to be loyal to the family, but now you disrespect me again and again, all because of


    this woman. You hit Lewis! You hit your father! I won’t allow this woman to confuse you anymore.


    Carlos sneered, “You’re the confused one. Who has been stirring shit up ever since Debbie got here?


    You know Lewis as well I do. Do you really think this is Debbie’s fault? Dad shouldn’t have hit Debbie.


    He should be thankful he IS my dad. Otherwise, I would have cut his arm off. You protect your son, and


    I’m just trying to protect my wife. What’s wrong with that?”


    “Carlos, you-” Valerie was too furious to go on.


    Carlos nced at the others and dered, “Debbie and I will never get divorced, never. All of you, just


    forget about it, because you’ll only be disappointed. We’re only living here because we want to keep


    my mompany. But now it seems it’s not necessary. My mom’s willing to take insults lying down, but


    there is no way that I’ll let my wife be somebody’s doormat. Debbie and I are moving out.”


    With that, he took Debbie’s hand and started walking towards the stairs.


    “Carlos! Carlos Hilton!” Watching her grandson’s cold figure, Valerie wanted to ask him to stay.


    However, Carlos only quickened his pace. He didn’t want to be there a minute Longer than he had to


    be. If this was the way they were going to treat his wife, he didn’t want any part of it.


    When they came to the Landing, he suddenly stopped and said to the others, “And my wife isn’t a thief,


    either. My men figured out it wasn’t her. Grandma, keep an eye on your dog.”


    Valerie kept a medium-sized dog. She would let him y and run around in the manor at regr times.


    “Is the dog responsible?’ they all wondered.

    A car was parked at the entrance to the house. Before getting in,


    Debbie suddenly stopped. Carlos Looked back at her.


    “Maybe I should move out. You can stay here..


    Carlos affectionately pulled the coat draped on her shoulders closer to her.


    “You think I’ll agree to that?”
