Chapter 685

Only Tabitha and James were home at that moment. There was no time for

Tabitha to rush downstairs to ask the servants for help. She had to stand in front of James to stop

Carlos from hitting him again.

“This family was never happy while she was here. And she even tried to kill

Megan in Aloritth. Why are you still protecting her? Can’t you see how vicious she is? Divorce her

already.”

Carlos closed his eyes to hide the misery he felt from those words. He let go of James and

straightened his own clothes.

Regaining his composure, he told his parents, “From today, I will not enter this house anymore, unless

Grandpa wakes up or you accept Debbie as a member of this family.”

Tabitha panicked. There was no sign of Douglas waking up yet. Did this mean that Carlos would never

come back if his grandpa didn’t wake up?

No! Tabitha couldn’t accept it.

“Carlos, Listen to me…”

Carlos glanced coldly at the weeping woman and said, “There’s nothing more to say here. If my wife

has a baby some day, our child will have nothing to do with any of you.”

He turned to leave. Tabitha shouted desperately, “Carlos, are you willing to turn your family and friends

against you for that woman?”

Carlos said, “Just my family. Unlike you, none of my friends did anything heartless to Debbie even

when they found out that she had pushed Megan into the river.” Debbie had had to bear all the

mistreatment and insults from Valerie and James just because she had married Carlos. Now, they had

even set her up to take birth control pills without her knowledge. She had suffered too much for him.

“She is a murderer! Why are you still protecting her?” Tabitha yelled at her son’s cold back,

heartbroken.

Carlos turned around and looked his mother in the eye.

“Debbie is not a murderer. We all know what kind of person Megan is. We just choose to ignore some

things about her out of gratitude towards her parents.

Debbie fell into the river because of what Megan told her on the phone.

She only pushed Megan into the river for revenge. And she has been merciful in the act. Besides,

Megan didn’t die.” That only served to prove that however angry Debbie had been at the time, she had

never intended to take Megan’s life.

“Let me warn you one last time, Father. If you dare hurt my wife again,

I will make sure you suffer.”

Without waiting for his parents’ response, he left the study.

There was a loud bang from the room. As soon as he walked out of the study, an ashtray was smashed

against the door.

Then James was heard roaring, “Bastard! This is what I get for keeping him! If I had known that he

would be so ungrateful, I would have..

Carlos couldn’t hear the rest of his words clearly, nor did he want to.

Fists clenched, he left the house.

Back in Alorith, it was the seventh day that Carlos had been away from the manor. Debbie sat in the

music studio and read the lyrics which she had revised a hundred times.
