Chapter 554

“I thought Valerie and Megan would tell Carlos about my “rude” behavior. But they act as if nothing

happened. That’s really weird!*

Debbie thought to herself.

“I have a dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Smith this evening,” said Carlos.

He pulled his arm away from Megan and was about to walk back out to the car when he saw his wife

standing at the entryway.

“Come here,” he said coldly.

Obediently, Debbie came over to Carlos and stood before Megan.

“Megan, do you remember what I said before?” she asked.

Since Valerie and Megan didn’t mention what she had done earlier,

Debbie wouldn’t bring it up either.

Megan was confused, and had no idea what Debbie was talking about.

With a tiny smile, Debbie began, “Since you are Carlos’ niece, you should keep him at arm’s length.

You shouldn’t hug my husband tight like that. I might get angry. You get it?”

Debbie had made up her mind-since they didn’t care about her feelings at all, why should she care

about theirs?

Megan’s face paled at Debbie’s words. With red eyes, she lowered her head and apologized in a sad

voice, “Aunt Debbie, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know…I’ll keep that in mind and stay away from Uncle Carlos.

Please don’t be mad at me.”

She put herself in such a low position anyone would think she was intimidated by Debbie.

Valerie banged the table and shouted, “Debbie, this is how you treated

Megan in Alorith? Bullying her?”

“Bullying her?” Debbie couldn’t believe her ears. She thought she needed to explain it. She took a deep

breath and said calmly, “Don’t get me wrong. I know Megan’s parents saved my husband’s life. I take

care of her like Carlos does. But Carlos is a married man. Don’t you think she’s being too flirty?”

“Megan is family. Why should she not be so close to Carlos?” Valerie snapped.

Before Debbie could respond, Carlos held her hands and told her in a calm voice, “Deb, Megan is just

a kid with a lot of enthusiasm. You’re overreacting. Let’s go upstairs.”

‘An 18-year-old kid? With a Lot of enthusiasm? She has a thing for you.

Why can’t you see it?’ Debbie retorted in her mind.

With red eyes, Megan apologized again, “Aunt Debbie, please don’t be mad at me. If you’re not happy,

I will keep that in mind and stay away from Uncle Carlos.”

Debbie was fuming with rage. ‘So you all think I’m the bad guy here?

Fine! I’ll be the black sheep.’
