Chapter 1313

She had read a lot of love stories. Most of the heroines who tried to run away from the heroes ended

up being dragged back.

“I’UL help you,” Miranda said after a moment of thought.

“Okay,” Debbie replied.

Then Miranda changed the subject.

“Find anything about Stephanie’s links to James?”

“Yeah,” Debbie said excitedly. In a low voice, she began, “Stephanie is James’ biological daughter.

Thirty years ago, he was messing around with Glenda, even though she was already married to Angus

Elliot and had a boy. James was Angus’ friend, and then he started seeing her behind his friend’s back.

And suddenly Glenda was pregnant with

Stephanie. Glenda didn’t tell Angus initially, afraid he’d find out about the affair.”

So Stephanie was actually James’ daughter, Lewis’ sister.

Now it made sense why James insisted on letting Carlos marry Stephanie.

He wanted to give his daughter the best.

Miranda was as surprised as Debbie. But she maintained a stony face.

Tapping the top of the table, she warned Debbie, “With both you and

Carlos poking into his business, that old snake has to know. Be careful. Don’t release this right away.

Let your trail go cold, then do

“OK. Got it.”

Debbie turned to look at the city through the window. She felt her spring was coming.

Miranda felt sorry for her. Debbie used to be spoiled by Carlos like a queen. However, James split them

up, and she had to flee the country, find work and raise a kid by herself.

“I need a couple days to wrap things up in New York and then come back here. I’ll talk to Wesley and

Damon. They’re Carlos’ best friends and James deceived them too. They won’t be happy with him

when they Learn the truth. You, Carlos, Wesley,

Damon, Curtis, and me. We’ll deal with James together. He’ll pay for what he did.”

Debbie was moved. Miranda had been helping her ever since Debbie proved her innocence to her.

Debbie summoned up the courage to hold Miranda’s hand and said, “Aunt Miranda, thank you so

much. When all this is over,

Carlos and I will take care of you and Uncle Wade.”

Miranda didn’t Like moments like this. Too sentimental. And she wasn’t used to holding hands either.

But she didn’t take her hand out of

Debbie’s grip. With a sigh, she said, “What can I do? Carlos loves you.”

Miranda was filled with guilt, and she wanted to make it up to Carlos for the past. She would give him

anything he wanted, no matter what.
