Chapter 242 Bad News


    Tabitha screamed and ran towards Carlos. She tried to hold him back. "Carlos! Carlos, what''s this


    about? Listen to me, son. Calm down."


    Carlos gave his mother a cold look and asked, "How could you do this to my wife?" He gritted his teeth


    in anger and added, "Debbie has always respected you. Is this what she deserved from my parents?"


    James still didn''t think he did anything wrong. "I never epted her as my daughter-inw. I won''t


    allow her to give birth to your child."


    "So you told the servants to put crushed birth control pills in her food?" asked Carlos, grinding his teeth


    to suppress his growing anger. His eyes zed and seemed to stare deep into James'' ck rotting


    soul.


    James attempted to wrench free, butpared to his son, he was too weak. Pretending to be


    City for this?"

    ''Just birth control pills?'' Within Carlos'' heart, his father''s image sank to a new low. "Yes, they were


    poison. You''ve been feeding her cumtive poison!"


    Saying that, he swung a second fist towards James'' face.


    Only Tabitha and James were home at that moment. There was no time for Tabitha to rush downstairs


    to ask the servants for help. She had to stand in front of James to stop Carlos from hitting him again.


    "This family was never happy while she was here. And she even tried to kill Megan in Y City. Why are


    you still protecting her? Can''t you see how vicious she is? Divorce her already."


    Carlos closed his eyes to hide the misery he felt from those words. He let go of James and


    straightened his own clothes.


    Regaining hisposure, he told his parents, "From today, I will not enter this house anymore, unless


    Grandpa wakes up or you ept Debbie as a member of this family."


    Tabitha panicked. There was no sign of Dous waking up yet. Did this mean that Carlos would never


    Carlos nced coldly at the weeping woman and said, "There''s nothing more to say here. If my wife


    has a baby some day, our child will have nothing to do with any of you."


    He turned to leave. Tabitha shouted desperately, "Carlos, are you willing to turn your family and friends


    against you for that woman?"


    Carlos said, "Just my family. Unlike you, none of my friends did anything heartless to Debbie even


    when they found out that she had pushed Megan into the river." Debbie had had to bear all the


    mistreatment and insults from Valerie and James just because she had married Carlos. Now, they had


    even set her up to take birth control pills without her knowledge. She had suffered too much for him.


    "She is a murderer! Why are you still protecting her?" Tabitha yelled at her son''s cold back,


    heartbroken.


    Carlos turned around and looked his mother in the eye. "Debbie is not a murderer. We all know what


    kind of person Megan is. We just choose to ignore some things about her out of gratitude towards her


    parents. Debbie fell into the river because of what Megan told her on the phone. She only pushed


    Megan into the river for revenge. And she has been merciful in the act. Besides, Megan didn''t die."


    That only served to prove that however angry Debbie had been at the time, she had never intended to


    take Megan''s life.


    "Let me warn you onest time, Father. If you dare hurt my wife again, I will make sure you suffer."


    Without waiting for his parents'' response, he left the study.


    There was a loud bang from the room. As soon as he walked out of the study, an ashtray was smashed


    against the door.


    Then James was heard roaring, "Bastard! This is what I get for keeping him! If I had known that he


    would be so ungrateful, I would have..."


    Carlos couldn''t hear the rest of his words clearly, nor did he want to. Fists clenched, he left the house.


    Back in Y City, it was the seventh day that Carlos had been away from the manor. Debbie sat in the


    music studio and read the lyrics which she had revised a hundred times.


    "In the dim street lights, in each other''s arms, we expressed our feelings.


    Snowkes swirled around us, and fell on our hair.


    Would this momentst forever?


    You kissed my hair and told me that you love me.


    "


    That was all she had written.


    ''Should I also write down what Carlos said to me?'' she wondered. Her phone rang, breaking her


    thoughts.


    It was Kasie.


    "Debbie, bad news! Guess what I saw just now!"


    Debbie was confused. "What is it?"


    "I came to Orchid Private Club to find Emmett. And I saw your husband, Mr. Lu, Damon, and Wesley


    walk into a booth. They were not alone. Each of them had a woman alongside them. Megan was with


    your husband."


    Bam! Debbie mmed the pen on the table. "Did you see it for yourself?"


    "Yes! I checked it with Emmett too. He gave me the room number. Are youing?" Kasie knew that


    Carlos had crossed the line. He was fooling around with another woman while her friend had been


    staying at the manor all alone for seven days.


    Debbie''s friends would have thought that Carlos had forgotten about her if Emmett hadn''t gone to the


    manor to get Debbie''s ID card for her overseas study papers.


    ''Should I go?'' Debbie asked herself. After giving it some consideration, she said, "I''m noting. He''s


    in Room 888, isn''t he?" That was his exclusive booth.


    "Right. What are you going to do about it? I''ll go with you, if you like."


    "No. Let him be. I have to go."


    Debbie hung up and immediately called someone else with gritted teeth.


    In Orchid Private Club


    After entering the exclusive booth, the four men sat down around the automatic mahjong table, with


    their women sitting next to them.


    Beside Carlos was Megan. Colleen looked at him with a raised brow. "Mr. Huo, where is my good


    friend, Debbie?" This was supposed to be a get-together of Carlos and his closest friends. However,


    instead of Debbie, he brought Megan along. Colleen was pissed.


    Carlos lit a cigarette and took a drag. After exhaling the smoke, he said, "She''s home."


    Colleen knew that Carlos and Debbie had a huge fight after Debbie had pushed Megan into the river.


    Things wereplicated between the couple right now. So, Colleen didn''t feel the need to pretend to


    be cordial with Megan anymore. "Mr. Huo, I have to say, you are in the wrong here. This is an asion


    for the people closest to you. Why didn''t you bring Debbie? You should learn from Wesley. He brought


    his girlfriend. As for Damon, he gets a free pass. He has always been a yboy. Even when his wife is


    about to give birth to their baby, he is here messing around instead of taking care of her at home. He


    has made his own bed and he will have to lie in it."


    Damon snorted and replied defensively, "Don''t get me wrong now. Your man said that we were having


    a get-together, so my wife gave me permission to have some fun. Since they all had a woman with


    them, how could Ie alone?"
