Chapter 581

This left a question hanging in the air. ‘What did she mean? Isn’t she telling me this on purpose?

Isn’t she asking me to put in a good word for Lewis so that Carlos would give him his old job back?” A

lot of questions went through

Debbie’s mind.

Awkward silence filled the living room. Debbie wasn’t a talkative girl in front of unfamiliar people, and

Miranda too was aloof with few words, which made the atmosphere even weirder to Debbie. However,

it didn’t seem to affect Miranda at all, as if she were used to silence.

She went on to enjoy the cup of tea in a relaxing mood. In order to stifle the silence, Debbie had to start

a conversation herself.

“Um…S0… Are Lewis and Dad doing well now?” she stammered.

Miranda nodded her head without saying a word.

Debbie cried in her mind, ‘Honey, come back now! Save me!’

“Is your flight tomorrow?” Miranda finally opened her mouth to ask.

As if she were being saved from this awkward situation, Debbie nodded her head vigorously and

replied enthusiastically, “Oh yeah. We’ll take a flight tomorrow afternoon and arrive in Alorith the day

after tomorrow.”

Miranda took out her phone from her handbag.

“Add me on Facebook.

Contact me in private if you need my help.”

“Okay!” Debbie hastily pulled out her phone, opened the app and shot

Miranda a friend request.

Her account name was exactly her own name: Miranda. After that, Miranda suddenly looked into

Debbie’s eyes and requested, “Don’t tell Carlos anything about James. Just pretend you know nothing.”

Her words dumbfounded Debbie. She wondered if Miranda also knew something about James secret.

Before she could formulate a response, Miranda stood up from the sofa.

“You can probably guess what’s going on. Whatever you think, you’re right. And that’s why Tabitha has

depression,” she said, sounding sarcastic. With her eyes becoming sharp, she cautioned, “And be

careful of Megan. She’s a great actress. Don’t be kind to the family. Don’t cut them any slack, or you’ll

have dug your own grave.”

After tidying her clothes, she walked toward the door in an arrogant and graceful demeanor. Before she

left, she turned around and left her last words.

“Don’t feel bad. That night, Carlos did a good job. Lewis and James deserved it. I’m going back to

work. Goodbye.”

“I hear you. Goodbye, Miranda.” After bidding farewell to Miranda,

Debbie began to think about her parting words. ‘Carlos did a good job?

They deserved it? Did she mean what she said? Is Miranda really Lewis’ mother?’ Watching Miranda’s

receding figure, Debbie couldn’t fend off the barrage of doubts from intruding on her thoughts.

That night, Carlos picked up Megan from the Hilton family’s house and drove her to the villa. Megan

was going to spend the night with them.
