Chapter 639

“Carlos, what a surprise! You’re not busy now?”

“No. Mom, when did you see Debbie take birth control pills?” Carlos asked outright.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Tabitha figured that it must be Megan who

told Carlos.

Carlos waited on the phone patiently. After a while, Tabitha finally opened her mouth.

“I think it’s good she took a contraceptive, since your grandma and dad don’t like her. It’ll be a problem

divorcing her if she gets pregnant with your child…”

“Mom!” Carlos’ powerful voice interrupted Tabitha’s mumbling.

“Whether they like Debbie or not has nothing to do with me. Just answer my question. When did you

see Debbie taking birth control pills?”

“Carlos!” Tabitha raised her voice. His cold voice stung her heart.

“You’ve never talked to me like this before! You’ve become distant from me because of Debbie. I’m

heartbroken by your coldness.”

Carlos remained silent. Suspicion rose in his heart. It wasn’t a difficult question to answer if she had

indeed seen it with her own eyes, but she kept jumping over this issue. It dawned on him that things

were not as simple as he had thought it to be.

“Sorry, Mom. I have work. I’ll call you later. Bye!”

“Carlos! Carlos…” Tabitha wanted to talk to her son for a while longer, but he had ended the call

without waiting for her reply.

She sat staring blankly at her phone for a while before coming back to her senses. She stood up and

walked to James’ study

James was talking to someone on the phone with a smile on his face when she pushed open the door

and walked in. At the sight of her, he instantly pulled a long face and ended the call in haste. The smile

had vanished from his face.

In a cold voice, he asked, “Anything?” He returned to his seat and randomly grabbed a file which was

on his desk

The expression on his face had changed so abruptly that it was impossible for Tabitha to not have

noticed it. Her face went pale.

“Carlos knows about Debbie taking contraceptives,” she said, trying to sound calm.

James put aside the file and asked with a frown, “So soon?”

She merely nodded without saying anything. The truth was that she was the one who had blurted it out

to Megan. But she couldn’t dare tell

James that, afraid of his ill-temper.

There was a moment of silence in the study. James lit a cigar, took a drag and slowly blew out a stream

of smoke. Tabitha wanted to stop him from smoking for the sake of his health. Yet, the words were

stuck to her throat. She dared not interfere with his business.

After a few moments, she vaguely heard him muttering, “It looks like it wouldn’t be that easy to get rid

of Debbie. I might have to finish her off for good.”

Tabitha stared at the man in a daze. His face was emotionless as he said those devilish words. She

wondered if she had heard it right…

In the manor

Debbie changed into a set of clean and casual sportswear, and was all set to go out.
