She was dressed in a ck evening dress tonight, obviously trying to keep a low profile. Her arm was
wrapped around another man’s. Debbie guessed the guy next to her was her father, Angus. But of
course,
Debbie already knew that Angus wasn’t her true father.
A fun prank sprang into her thoughts. She nudged Carlos, who was talking with Curtis. He shifted his
eyes to her and asked, “What’s up?”
Debbie tilted her head to indicate where Stephanie was standing. Carlos followed her gaze and saw
Stephanie and Angus. Coincidentally, father and daughter also looked at him. Their eyes met.
From a distance, Angus raised his ss of wine in the air, as if proposing a toast to Carlos. The CEO
raised his ss in return, nodding at him. Then, Carlos turned to Debbie and asked, “Okay. And?”
She cocked her eyebrows and scoffed, “Your fiancee and future father-inw are there. Go say hi.” As
she spoke, she happened to make eye contact with Stephanie.
By one nce, she could clearly see the resentment and jealousy in her eyes.
Carlos put his hand on her waist and pulled her closer. Looking down at her delicate face, he warned,
“Quit it. You’re my wife, and don’t you forget it! And I have only one father-inw. Yourte father.”
Colleen and Curtis tittered when they saw them bantering back and forth. Curtis pushed up his sses
and joked, “Then call me Uncle,
Carlos. Colleen would be your aunt. Come on, be a good boy. Say it, and
I’ll give you the dowry.” He had waited a long time for this. He wouldn’t miss it for the world.
Debbie burst intoughter. Carlos stared at Curtis, his face deadpan.
To add fuel to the fire, the naughty girl echoed her uncle, “Come on
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

Mr. Handsome. Aren’t you always saying I’m your wife? Curtis is my uncle, so he’s yours too, right?
You’re not showing much sincerity.”
Curtis pulled out his phone and told Debbie, “Ah, Debbie. Be a dear, and open your WeChat. I need
your 2D barcode. If Carlos calls me Uncle even once, I’ll scan it and wire a million to you right now.”
‘A million?!’ Debbie’s eyes lit up with excitement. She nodded admiringly and marveled, “Uncle Curtis,
you’re amazing!”
The sullen man suddenly thought of something. A cunning smile broke on his face. He gently swirled
the red wine in his ss, looking at it and gulped it down. Then he said casually, “Okay, deal. Honey,
take out your phone and get ready.”
Debbie thought Curtis was just joking, so she didn’t even mess with her phone. Seeing that, Carlos
lunged for her, grabbed her purse, and took out her phone himself. He opened her WeChat and tapped
on the 2D barcode. Lifting the phone in front of Curtis, Carlos called out respectfully, “Hi Uncle Curtis
and Aunt Colleen.”
At this, the couple Laughed heartily. Colleen even said “hi” back.
Curtis felt like he was on cloud nine. The ever-proud CEO, who everyone deferred to, who bowed to no
one, was now calling him Uncle respectfully. Of course Curtis was excited. Without any ado, he
scanned
Debbie’s barcode and wired her a cool million.
When it was all said and done, Carlos wasn’t done. He didn’t put the phone away.
“Uncle Curtis and Aunt Colleen,” he repeated.
Curtis nodded smugly.
“Good, my dear nephew-inw.”
