Chapter 563
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Emmett.
Hayden had Long known that Portia couldnât stand Debbie, but he hadnât taken it seriously before. He
didnât want to be caught between his sister and his beloved woman. But maybe he should have. A
niggling doubt tickled the back of his brain. He wondered if it wasnât so much about Portia, but instead
his last liaison with Debbie. Carlos seemed like he was okay with it, but what if he wasnât?
Now that Hayden knew that Debbie was Carlosâ wife, he thought heâd better remind his sister.
âPortia, Debbie isnât a doormat now. Donât mess with her. Just be nice to her for my sake, okay?â
Of course, Portia would not listen-there was no way sheâd buy this.
âWhy should I be nice to her? Hayden, I donât care if you still Like her or not. Youâve gone too far,â she
said in a cold voice.
âYes, her husband is Carlosâ assistant. So what? I donât give a damn about that, â she thought.
Blanche pointed at Hayden and yelled at the top of her lungs, âDebbie!
Debbie! Whatâs so good about her that youâve carried a torch for her for so many years? Hayden, you
are now the CEO of the Gomez Group. You need to marry a woman from a family of equal status. That
bitch doesnât deserve you!â
âMom is right, Hayden. Just forget that woman,â Portia echoed. She never liked Debbie, and she would
do everything to make Hayden hate her. Her efforts came to naught, of course. While Debbie was a
perfect vision, the woman of his dreams, these women just came off as hateful and wrong. They just
didnât know Debbie like he did. She was a delicate flower, a gleaming jewel to be plucked, and the best
thing that ever happened to him. They just couldnât accept that.
Unable to stand it anymore, Hayden said to Portia, âYou pissed Debbie off the last time you saw her,
and now her husband is avenging her.â
After saying that, he turned around and walked up the stairs.
Although Portia had thought of this possibility before, she still couldnât believe her ears. âEmmett is just
an assistant. How was he able to do that to me? Ah, I see. Maybe he mentioned this to Carlos, and
Carlos did all of thisâ¦â
Blanche then noticed something was not right with her daughter. She held Portiaâs hands and asked
anxiously, âWhat happened? Your face is so pale.â
After a long time, Portia finally came back to her senses. She Looked at Blanche in the eye and
murmured, âMom, all my commercials and modeling contracts have been cancelled. And Light Shade
Entertainment decided not to sign meâ¦â
âWhy?â Blanche raised her voice, and her face changed dramatically. The commercials and modeling
contracts were very important to Portia, and determined her future in the entertainment circle. Blanche
had even flaunted her daughterâs achievements before other rich ladies at a tea party the other day.
If Portia was unable to sign with Light Shade Entertainment, Blanche would have made a fool of
herself.
âEmmett is avenging Debbie,â Portia said through gritted teeth.
âDebbie! You thought you were something after marrying Emmett, huh? How could you do this to me?â
Portia cursed inwardly.
Blancheâs face twitched with anger.
âWhat?! That bitch again? How dare she! She thinks she can do anything she wants just because of
Emmett?!
Heâs only an assistant! Bah! I swear I will beat her to a pulp.â
A light bulb went off in Portiaâs head.
âMom, please get me in touch with Carlos,â she said.
âWhat for?â Blanche asked in confusion.
