After a long time, she finally managed to say, “Carlos, what did you hear about me that makes you so


    hostile against me?”


    ‘What did I hear about you? Are you afraid of being exposed?’ Carlos felt even more disappointed.


    Without saying a word, he opened a drawer and took out a stack of photos and a sheet of paper in


    between.


    Just with one Look, Debbie knew what the photos were all about and what was on the paper. ‘Now that


    James began to strike back, I don’t need to hide anything from Carlos, ‘ she thought.


    “Carlos, let me tell you the truth. It was James who forced me to Leave


    Alorith. He used our baby to threaten me. He told me you were dead and even held a fake funeral to


    deceive me. He even had his men abduct


    Sasha and forced me to write this down and sign my name on it. He destroyed our marriage and ruined


    me. He-“


    Whatever Debbie said, Carlos would not believe. He had been warned.


    Besides, Debbie called James by his name, which only made matters worse. ‘She doesn’t show any


    respect to Dad!’ Thinking of this, he rudely interrupted her.


    “Shut up! Enough of that bber!”


    The viciousness in his voice gave Debbie such a real scare that her mouth went dry all of a sudden. ‘I


    now get the point. In Carlos’ eyes


    James is a caring father. I must expose his true colors.‘ So she said,


    “Carlos, do you know James is not your biological father?”


    Actually, that was new to Carlos. If anyone else had told him that on any other day, he would have


    believed it. But this,ing from Debbie, was indeed odd. Stranger than fiction.


    “Remember what your grandpa told you on his deathbed? I know you may not believe me. But what


    James did against you and everyone close to you while you were in aa speaks volumes. No one


    might have told you what the old man did to the Hilton group. Besides the fact that you came back to a


    changed leadership in thepany, you may not be privy to the acrimony that led to the departure of


    long-time and trusted employees. Anyway, the losses you’re seeing are just a tip of the iceberg. If you


    don‘t watch out, that man, James will be your downfall,


    I promise you. Oh, by the way, he even took away thepany and properties that you gave me.”


    Disdain written all over his face, Carlos retorted, “You must be disappointed to hear that Dad came to


    me and asked me to take the CEO’s position back. But I turned him down. As for thepany and


    properties


    I gave you, I have a hunch, you came back just to revenge yourself, huh?”


    Looking at the man in disbelief, Debbie gaped at his cold retort and apparent naivety.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “It’s your decision if you want to trust James, and I don’t care anyway. So let’s just assume that I came


    here to avenge myself. But this is not because he took away the things you gave me, but because he


    ruined my life and destroyed our marriage.


    For that, I swear, he’ll pay a heavy price!” she roared. Clenching his hand to fist inside his pocket,


    Carlos answered with a cold expression,


    “It was you who wrecked our marriage.”


    “For the umpteenth time, get this straight Carlos. I did what I did under duress. When James did a


    mock funeral for you, had his men abduct


    Sasha to ckmail me, and threatened me with our baby, to coerce me into signing the divorce papers,


    what should I have done, Carlos?


    Should I have agreed to abort our baby? Tell me, Carlos!” Debbie mocked.


    “Where’s the baby?” Carlos asked all of a sudden.
