Although Debbie had a better voice, she had never been trained before.

As a result of her lack of practice, Debbie was therefore not as skilled in singing as she wanted to be.

Debbie heaved a long sigh of relief. It was time for her to focus and forget about her annoying husband.

Picking up the guitar, she began to sing, “I was doubling over. The load on my shoulders was a weight I

carried with me every day…”

In the Orchid Private Club, a waiter pushed the door of a private booth and held it open for Carlos.

Right behind him, Emmett followed suit. The man was sweating nervously.

They were already running late, and it was not like they had a good reason.

The client was throwing a tantrum as it was ten minutes past the agreed time of their meeting. On

seeing Carlos, however, he immediately put on a flattering smile and greeted, “Carlos, you are finally

here.”

The man reached out to shake hands with Carlos, but the latter merely threw a cold look at his hand,

walked past him, and sat on the couch.

When the man saw Carlos’ infamous arrogance firsthand, his face turned sour. But he did not say

anything to show his true feelings

He approached Carlos and offered, “Carlos, allow me to pour you a glass of wine.”

Before he could do anything, Emmett reached out to hold the bottle and said, “Sorry, Lee. Carlos has

delicate digestion and cannot drink alcohol.”

Embarrassment was written all over the man’s face. It was Carlos who took the initiative to seek

partnership with him. But why was he acting so arrogant as if he were the boss?

Emitting arrogance, Carlos refused to grab the drink. Marvin Lee, however, didn’t dare to force him,

feeling his menacing aura. He could only force an awkward smile and gave him the contract he had

prepared

While Carlos was reading the contract, his brows furrowed. After a couple of minutes, he stood up and

threw the contract on the table.

“I won’t sign the contract,” he said coldly.

After hearing this, Marvin got anxious and argued in an instant,

“Carlos, as per our last conversation, you agreed to…”

However, even before he could continue, Carlos interrupted him in an icy tone, “Marvin, do you think

I’m that stupid? The content of this contract is clear to me. Did you really think that I would fall into your

trap?” Surprised by Carlos’ words, he started having cold sweat.

With a pale face, Marvin thought to himself, ‘Did he find out the trap hidden in the clauses? How’s that

even possible?’

Without a word, Carlos walked towards the door. In an instant, Emmett pulled the door open for him.

Looking at Carlos’ back as he took his leave, Marvin exclaimed,

“Carlos, please wait. This is only a misunderstanding!” He tried to follow behind Carlos in an attempt to

make him stay. On the other hand,

Carlos ignored his plea and left without looking back. He went to the underground park and stopped

halfway as he heard an alluring sound

Immediately, he changed his direction and walked towards the entrance of the club.

Under a big tree, about several hundred meters away from the Orchid
