Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter: 24
âEmmett, what are you waiting for? Take the recording and check it.â
Carlos cast a cold glance at Emmett, furrowing his eyebrows.
Emmett, who was just an onlooker at the time, snapped back to his senses and walked up to Debbie.
âMiss Nelsonâ¦â
Before he could finish his words, Debbie handed him her phone casually.
The moment Carlos asked Emmett to check the recording, Terenceâs face turned pale with fear. He
broke out in a cold sweat, but didnât dare to say anything.
Emmettâs report came in less than five minutes.
âMr. Hilton, thereâs no problem with the recording. There is no trace of tampering in it,â Emmett said
respectfully.
However, much to his surprise, Carlos looked at him as if he had said something wrong.
Emmett had been working for Carlos for many years now. How could he not know what his boss
meant? He swallowed nervously and added, âMr.
Hilton, the director of the technology department checked the recording in person. Iâll ask himâ¦â
âNever mind,â Carlos interrupted him in a blunt voice.
Although Emmett could be lazy sometimes, he knew that Emmett wouldnât dare to lie to him about such
an important task.
Carlos cast a cursory glance at Debbie as he gestured at Emmett with his hand to give the phone back
to her.
Meanwhile, Brandon had thought that he would be able to turn the tables in his favor when he heard
Terenceâs and Gailâs solemn statements, but he had no idea that things would take a turn for the worse.
Gritting his teeth in anger, he kicked his son again and apologized to Carlos.
âMr. Hilton, Iâm so sorry. It seems my son has forgotten how to behave.
Itâs all my fault. Iâll see to it that this never happens again. IâLL ask someone at the administration office
to cancel the demerit right now!â
Terence cried in pain, but he didnât try to defend himself again. He was so ashamed and embarrassed.
With a cold glance at Brandon, Carlos said, âItâs not you who should apologize.â
After saying that, he turned to look at Terence, who was sitting on the ground, wincing in pain.
âYes, yes!â Brandon kicked his son again and urged, âApologize to
Debbie now!â
Although Terence didnât know who Carlos was, he could tell from his fatherâs obsequious look that
Carlos must have been a very important man. As such, he had no choice but to stand up and apologize
to Debbie.
âIâm sorry, Debbie.â
Debbie noticed the lack of sincerity in Terenceâs expression, so she responded with a perfunctory
glance.
