Chapter 1016

Please show her the way to the reception room.”

“Understood, Miranda.”

At the reception room

There was a woman sporting a Light-purple dress, leaning into the window, and overlooking the city,

bustling with activity.

As soon as she heard the sound coming from a pair of high heels approaching, she turned around to

check who it was. At that moment, the door suddenly flung open and Miranda entered the room, a

woman she hadn’t seen for the past three years.

Wearing a creamy white office suit, there she was, standing by the doorway. Soon enough, their eyes

met. The businesswoman looked as composed just as she would always be while Debbie, on the other

hand, became a bit more mature than she was in the past, with a tinge of a forbidding look in her eyes.

That being said, the moment she laid her eyes on Miranda, the expression she was wearing instantly

eased up and she greeted her, “Aunt Miranda…”

“Stop addressing me that way!” Miranda shifted her gaze away from her walking over to the sofa.

Debbie knew full well what she had meant by that. With a deep breath, she went straight to the point

right away.

“Aunt Miranda, I came here to talk about the matters regarding me and Carlos.”

The door flung open again all of a sudden. The secretary stepped into the room carrying a cup of

coffee. Upon placing it on the table in front of Miranda, she left without saying a word and closed the

door behind her.

Taking a sip from the cup of coffee, Miranda asked casually, “What does your situation have to do with

me?”

“I really need you to back me up on this, Aunt Miranda. Carlos is suffering from memory loss and

James is doing everything in his power to oppose me,” Debbie said, sitting directly across her.

With a cold expression on her face, Miranda looked straight into

Debbie’s eyes. Jeering at her, she replied, “I thought I already told you to stop calling me Aunt Miranda.

Let me remind you that we’re not that close. When you left Alorith three years ago, you left without

even saying a word. And now that you’ve found out that Carlos has gotten better, you’re telling me that

you want to be reunited with him?

Debbie, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”

Those remarks cut Debbie’s heart just like a knife. She had thought long and hard about how Miranda

might treat her before she headed for

New York. But she never would’ve imagined that she would receive such a cold and unpleasant

response from the older Lady, knowing that she used to be on her side in the past.

For that reason, Debbie was so down in the dumps. Taking in another deep breath, she tried her best

to hold everything, every bitter feeling, inside her heart.

“I understand that you might be taking this the wrong way. But I promise that I can explain myself for

the actions

I had taken from three years back. You just got to give me some time

But first and foremost, what I really want to do at this moment is to apologize to you, Aunt Miranda. I’m

so sorry. I didn’t listen to your advice that year and ended up being fooled by James and falling for the

trap he had set. I had been so rash and my recklessness brought about all of the problems and

sufferings we have right now.”

Springing up from the sofa, Miranda simply brushed her off and replied,

“I’m a busy woman. Debbie, if you don’t have anything important to say to me, then you should just

leave. Stop wasting my precious time.”

“Aunt Miranda!” Debbie exclaimed in protest, in an attempt to stop her from exiting the reception room.

She had gone through Lengths and flown all the way to New York just to meet her. So, she couldn’t just

turn back and return empty-handed.

“Are you still mad at me for all of the disgraceful events that supposedly happened that year? All of

those were merely false allegations which James came up with. He had every intention to ruin me and

take everything away. If I can bring you some sort of proof to show that I didn’t have anything to do with

it, will you lend me a hand in getting back at him?” Debbie asked, hoping that she would say yes.
