Chapter 357
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Debbie felt speechless. She had never said Emmett was her husband.
Corrupt? Emmett would never do that. He was always honest. She felt bad about dragging him into
this.
âThank God I married Carlos. Otherwise, Portia and Gail would Laugh at me for the rest of my life, â she
thought.
âWhatever. Iâm busy. Bye.â
Debbie didnât want to waste any more time on Portia.
âStop!â Portia called out. She found Debbie had changed a lot. Power never scared her, but she was
even prouder than before, not giving a damn about anybody else.
From the arrogant way Debbie carried herself, Portia began to suspect her husband was not Emmett
but Carlos.
Debbie turned her head and said, âI always tolerated, humored and even flattered you. It was all
because of your brother, but not anymore.
From now on, I will humor neither you nor your brother.â
âWhat do you mean? You are going to see my family as enemies?â
Debbie laughed scornfully, âWhatever.â None of the Gomez family mattered to her anymore, and she
didnât give a hoot about what they thought of her.
With her head held high, Debbie walked away, leaving Portia guessing and clutching at straws. She
acted calm, but her long fingernails stuck into her handbag, leaving deep marks.
It hadnât been that Long since Portia last saw Debbie. But this wasnât the Debbie she knew. Debbie
used to be humble and self-effacing, with low self-esteem. Now she was parading around with her nose
in the air, all puffed up with pride as if she were the queen
âDammit Debbie! Your husbandâs just a secretary. Donât get cocky. Itâs not like heâs Carlos! Weâll see
who comes out on top!â she thought resentfully.
On Debbieâs way back to the party, two other women stopped her in her tracks. They sized her up and
down, and then one of them said curtly,
âSomeone wants to see you.â
âI wonder who theyâre talking about, â thought Debbie.
âWho?â she asked. Neither of the two women looked even remotely familiar. Sheâd know if sheâd met
them before. So it made her even more curious who wanted to talk to her, and why.
The woman in a black dress snapped, âDonât ask. Just follow us.â
âThis is crazy!â Debbie was irritated. It was supposed to be simple. and maybe fun. She went to the
party on Carlosâ behalf, but ended up coming across all kinds of weird things and hostile women.
Mental note:
Donât do this again. And now, why did she have to deal with some ridiculous mystery boss? She didnât.
She was thinking that maybe now would be a good time to bug out of here. She had made an
appearance, presented her gift, and now she just wanted to be left alone.
âSorry, Iâm busy.â She passed them without giving them a second glance.
Who were they? And why were they following someone elseâs orders? And more importantly, why were
they trying to get her involved?
The woman in black shouted to her back, âHey, you! Olga wants to see you! Get your butt over here
now, unless you want that butt kicked out of Alorith! Just so you know, Olga is Carlosâ woman. I
wouldnât turn her down if I were you.â âReally! Weâll just see about that!â Debbie thought.
The two looked at Debbie gloatingly, anticipating that she would turn around and follow them timidly to
see Olga. After all, these two were at her beck and call, so why shouldnât Debbie be the same? She
wasnât any better than them.
