Chapter 356

“Are you afraid that people might know you are wearing a fake designer dress and fake crystal?” she

taunted arrogantly.

Debbie laughed. Touching her crystal bracelet, she raised her right hand, which looked smooth after

the skin care.

“Since when is the daughter of the Gomez family so ignorant? Is the Gomez family degrading? Or does

Hayden grudge giving you money after he became the head of the family?” Debbie fired back.

From Emmett’s evaluation of Debbie’s dress and accessories, Portia was being either painfully ignorant

or simply insulting. If anything,

Debbie’s dress for the night was something few divas could afford. Even her crystals were not ordinary

white crystals, but rare natural ones.

Apart from being pricey, Debbie’s accessories had another significance.

They were coveted Buddhist souvenirs. In addition to Crystals being one of the seven treasures, the

bracelet she was wearing had been consecrated by an eminent monk, for psychic energy to charm and

protect.

The bracelet had briefly appeared on display for sale at Shining

International Plaza the other day, only to be bought on the afternoon of the same day, by a mysterious

collector. Most likely, Carlos had seen it on display and sent someone to make the purchase on his

behalf.

Later that evening, he had come to the villa with a sweet surprise for

Debbie.

Today, Debbie wore brown nail polish and had an extra crystal—a ring on her right hand, which glared

in Portia’s eyes against the Light.

Trying to conceal her envy, Portia said with a fake air of superiority,

“Sorry to disappoint you, but the Gomez Group is thriving under my brother’s leadership. Also, my

brother and I are on such good terms that besides my basic income of $500, 000 a month, he always

gives me more than double that amount. What about you, Miss Debbie? I hear you got married. To

whom? A secretary?”

Emmett might be respected by people because of his identity as Carlos’ secretary, but at the end of the

day, he was not Carlos.

Debbie took her hand back. She smiled at what Portia said, but she didn’t deny it.

“What about him being a secretary? He works for

Carlos. You should know that anyone connected with Carlos is influential and powerful.”

She exhaled and continued, “You get $500, 020 a month or double that?

Isn’t that peanuts the Gomez Group pays some of its highest ranking members? I hate to break this to

you, but my husband gives me more than ten times as much.”

Aside from the bank cards Carlos gave her, the monthly revenues of

Orchid Private Club alone were more than 5@ million.

However, Portia had no idea about that. She thought Debbie was married to Emmett, the secretary.

‘She is only the wife of a secretary. How dare she mock me!‘ she thought. Squinting at Debbie, she

snorted,

“Right. Anybody connected with Carlos is important and powerful, but don’t you forget that he is not

Carlos after all. He is still just a secretary. So, what are you gloating over? Are you really expecting me

to believe that a secretary can give you that much as pocket money?

Do you take me for a fool? Or is your husband corrupt?”
