Chapter 452

“Of course not. I asked my boyfriend about it. He told me that he knew

Portia, but that was all. There was nothing romantic going on between them. I wonder why you had

protected that evil woman Portia for two years. She is always so mean to you.” Kasie’s anger increased

as she spoke.

Debbie Laughed.

“To think about it, I feel stupid too. But Luckily, I’m done with the Gomez family. Those two years is

water under the bridge now.” Back then, she had tried her best to protect Portia, yet Portia always

looked down on her. But even so, Debbie had chosen to ignore all of it and flatter her instead just

because she Loved Hayden and Portia was his sister.

Memories of it drained Debbie. She didn’t hate Portia for looking down on her, though. It was her fault-

she shouldn’t have sold herself short in front of that wicked woman.

“I heard that Portia’s parents and Carlos’ parents once had a meal together, at which Portia’s parents

tried to hook her up with Carlos.

Although back then Carlos was 23, Portia was only a teenager. How gross that was! I wonder what her

parents were thinking. At the time, Carlos had just joined the Hilton Group and wasn’t as successful as

he is now, but he knew Portia was not good enough for him. He gave her parents a tongue-Lashing

and left the table. How cool your husband was!”

Debbie wiped her face and wondered, “How come I never heard any of this?” That was five years ago

when she and Hayden had just started dating. She had never heard about it from anyone before.

“It was so humiliating, of course the Gomez family buried it deep. But

Debbie, imagine the Gomez family’s faces when they find out that you married Carlos. I swear, it will be

fun.” Kasie couldn’t stop laughing out loud on the phone. She was looking forward to the day when the

Gomez family would make fools of themselves. It would be payback time for the unfair treatment they

had given Debbie.

Debbie disagreed, however.

“I don’t think Portia will care who Carlos married. She doesn’t Like him after all.”

“You can’t be more wrong! Your husband is a magnet. Show me a woman who wouldn’t want to be with

him. It’s not that Portia doesn’t Like Carlos but that she knows she isn’t Carlos’ type, so she finds it

pointless to aim above her cut. Portia is always sticking her nose up in the air.

Why is she always so arrogant? Even as Mrs. Hilton, you are not that arrogant. On the contrary, you

have kept your marriage secret.”

Hearing Kasie’s angry remarks, Debbie explained resignedly, “The fact that we’re married will come out

sooner or later. In the beginning,

I kept it secret because I didn’t realize I liked Carlos and I wasn’t sure how long our marriage was going

to last. Now I don’t want it to be in the Limelight. I’m not ready for drama. You can see for yourself how

influential he can be. I bet some international movie star’s sudden marriage wouldn’t even be so

sensational as his.”

Kasie didn’t understand what Debbie was thinking. But she was sure that if people knew she was Mrs.

Hilton, no one anywhere would dare touch her.

“Do you intend to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?”
