Chapter 367
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âYes, sir.â Quinn took out the checkbook, and began to draft the requested amount.
But Debbie put a hand on the assistantâs pen. She took a deep breath and said, âThanks, Hayden. But I
donât need this. Itâs my fault.â
As more and more people got involved, Debbie felt bad. She turned to face the parents and their
daughters, ready to apologize. Knowing what she was trying to do, Damon beat her to the punch.
âSomeone told me what happened. Itâs not Debbieâs fault. There were more than ten of you. Bullying a
girl like that, hardly fair,â he scolded. Carlos had found out the truth and told him about it. Damon wasnât
afraid to offend any of those so-called important families.
âWhat just happened? A few simple words from Damon and Debbie isnât responsible at all? He even
made her sound like a victim, â the crowd wondered. âCan I leave now?â Debbie mused. She just
wanted this night to be over.
Without giving anyone a chance to retort, Curtis pushed his glasses up and echoed gently, âIs that so?
Debbie, you may leave now since the truth is out. Weâll take care of the issue.â
His words triggered the crowd to look at him, stunned.
On the other hand, Debbie turned to Curtis and hesitantly whispered,
âMr. Loftusâ¦â
She was aware that the whole thing had started because of her. Thus, she felt responsible.
Just then, Damonâs phone rang. He looked at the screen and muttered,
âWhy is Carlos calling now?â
Hearing Carlosâ name turned everyoneâs attention to Damonâs phone.
Then as expected, Damon answered the call.
âHi, Carlos.â
No one knew what Carlos said on the other end, but they saw Damon wave his hand while saying,
âThereâs no need to send Wesley for such a trifle. It will be fixed right away. On the other side are
daughters of the Moran family, the Hue family, the Eveque family⦠Wait. What?
Wesley is already on his way? Okay then.â
Damon gazed at Curtis after hanging the phone up and said, âCarlos asked Wesley to send some
special force here. Theyâre on their way.â
Carlosâ name alone was frightening enough. More so, knowing that Wesley was rushing here with
some special force⦠Gosh! No one dared to stand up for their daughter again.
The air inside the room was suddenly heavy with fear. Discarding the questions in his head, Sebastian
told Debbie, âDebbie, Gail was wrong earlier. I apologize for what she did. Iâm taking her home now.â
Warmth filled Debbieâs heart as she shook her head.
âUncle, Iâm sorry for troubling you.â
âDebbie, come home for dinner sometime,â intervened Lucinda as she patted Debbieâs hands tenderly.
It was now clear to her that Debbieâs husband was not Hayden. But she was sure Debbie was
connected with
Carlos somehow.
Afraid of Carlos, many parents thought that it was wise to get out of that place before the situation got
uglier. They followed Sebastianâs example and apologized to Debbie for their daughters.
