Chapter 183

Chapter: 183

Ever since she was young, Debbie was afraid of thunder and Lightning.

She had come to Portia’s bedroom in the middle of the night before when she and Hayden were still

dating.

It was on Hayden’s birthday. It was too late when the party was over, so Debbie stayed in Hayden’s

house. When she was sleeping alone in the guest room that night, suddenly thunder roared and

Lightning flashed

She was too scared to sleep. But she couldn’t go to Hayden’s room. That would be inappropriate. So

she knocked on the door of Portia Gu’s room and told her that she was afraid to sleep alone.

To her dismay, however, Portia pushed her out of her room impatiently and locked the door.

“Don’t interrupt my sleep again!” she had warned her. She remembered how scared she was that night.

She had to bear with the thunder and lightning and sleep alone while covered with three layers of

blankets.

Recalling all this, all of sudden, Debbie missed Carlos, that overbearing, arrogant, hateful man.

Debbie stared at her phone screen. There was one missed call from

Carlos. She made up her mind that if he called again, she would pick up the phone.

Two days had passed. Carlos still didn’t call.

On the third day, Debbie had a big dinner that evening. She had eaten so much that after dinner she

rubbed her stuffed belly and decided to stroll down the streets to hasten the digestion of the food. Then

she came across an emerald store. She walked in and Looked around. In the dim light, a lucky peace

buckle caught her eyes.

“I’d like to have a look at that one,” she said to the bald, fat storekeeper.

“Sure. Miss, all the pieces in our store are genuine. This Lucky peace buckle is exquisitely polished,”

the keeper grinned.

“How much is it?”

“$28, @@@. A good price.”

Debbie’s eyes widened. That was way too pricey for a lucky peace buckle. She knew a little about

emerald. To appraise its quality, she looked at the buckle against the Light and found that it was not

transparent at all. It definitely wasn’t worth $28, 000.

So Debbie put the lucky peace buckle back and said, “I’ll look at some more.”

Seeing her turn around, the storekeeper put on a hideous look on his face and snapped, “How can you

not buy it after you looked at it?”

Debbie was confused.

“What do you mean? Do I have to buy it after I looked at it? Why? I don’t like it. Of course, I won’t buy

it.” She thought the storekeeper was being ridiculous

The storekeeper hit the table hard with his fat hand and announced,

“Why did you look at it if you didn’t intend to buy it? You must buy iti”

“How can you force your customers to buy things they don’t want?”

Debbie stopped to observe the circumstances of the store. Four sinister-Looking men were playing

mahjong seated around a square table near the entrance of the store. Hearing the conversation

between the storekeeper and Debbie, they turned around and gave Debbie an ominous

Look.
