Chapter 1397

“Yes, we’re talking about you! Carlos and Stephanie were engaged, but you stepped in between them.

You’re the other woman! A home wrecker!” one of the women spat out crossly. She envied Debbie so

much. It was a good opportunity for her to vent her anger since Carlos wasn’t by her side to defend her

now.

“You home wrecker! Shameless bitch! Slut! We should expose your true colors to Carlos. You’re only

after his money. You don’t love him at all!” another woman abused in an agitated voice.

With her eyebrows raised, Debbie almost Laughed herself to tears. She echoed the woman’s words,

“Yes, yes. I’m back with him only for his money. Look, this is one of the diamond rings he gave me. Its

price would be equal to hundreds of your evening dresses. Everything on me is all from Carlos.”

The women stared at the huge heart-shaped diamond ring on Debbie’s finger while myriads of different

colors dazzled brightly from it under the lights. It stirred up jealousy in each of them, and they turned

green with envy.

Suddenly a deep calm voice rang from behind the women.

“Ladies, I hear that I’m the topic of discussion here. True?”

The unexpected voice sent a shiver down their spines as they quickly turned around. When they saw

Carlos standing directly behind them, they became flustered. They didn’t know how long he had been

there or how much of their conversation he had overheard.

“No… C-Carlos.”

“Carlos, no, we didn’t.

Two of them cowered at once and denied it. They knew they shouldn’t offend Carlos. However, some of

them were stupid or ballsy enough to confront him. A woman came forward and told him boldly,

“Carlos, word came out from your father that Debbie married you for the sake of your money. We felt

sorry for you and wanted to help you seek justice. She’s fooling you.”

A waiter came by with a tray in his hands. Carlos casually took a glass of champagne from the tray.

While gently swirling the liquid in the glass, he smiled faintly.

Everyone held their breath and gaped at him curiously to see what he would do next. Carlos walked

past the gossipers, and nonchalantly approached Debbie. To everyone’s shock, he leaned over,

pecked her on the lips and questioned slowly, “For money?”

“Yes, Carlos! Debbie tried every means possible to marry you just for your wealth,” the same ballsy

woman asserted.

Holding the champagne glass in one hand and the other tucked in his pocket, Carlos tilted his head at

the woman and taunted, “So what? If she wants money, then I’ll give her my money. If she wants love,

then

I’ll give her my heart. Whatever she wants, I’ll satisfy her every need. As long as my wife is Debbie, I

don’t care what her motive is.

I’LL give her anything, Let alone money.”

His romantic and doting words caused a rumble of exclamation among the onlookers. Some women

couldn’t help but sigh out aloud in admiration.

Upon hearing Carlos’ reply, the ballsy woman was left speechless. Her face burned with

embarrassment. When she Looked around, she noticed the disdainful looks from everyone and she

hastily retreated, Leaving the food section awkwardly.

“Now, who said that Debbie was a shameless bitch?” Carlos asked, portraying no emotion in his voice.

The group of busybodies Looked guiltily among themselves and fell into silence for a moment. Then, a

woman was pointed out by the others.

Engulfed with fear, the woman shook her head vigorously. The color drained from her face, and she

was white as a sheet. Opening her mouth, she wanted to apologize to Debbie, but Carlos‘ death glare

silenced her.

Carlos instructed Frankie in a low and cold voice, “Take her outside.”

“Yes, Carlos!”

Frankie gestured to the bodyguards. Soon enough, two bodyguards emerged from the onlookers. They

sandwiched the woman and locked her arms.

While dragging her outside, one of the bodyguards covered the woman’s mouth to avoid attracting

more attention. They left the banquet hall in a low-key way.
