Chapter 719

Carlos carefully put a band-aid on Debbie’s scratched skin and then helped her put on the sneakers.

“Try this and see if it’s better,” he said gently.

Debbie stood up from the sofa and walked a few steps.

“Better. It doesn’t hurt.”

But the sneakers looked so weird with her evening dress. She felt awkward.

Carlos asked a person nearby to throw her high heels away. He turned to her and instructed, “Get

some rest. I still have some things to handle.”

After a pause, Debbie said hesitantly, “You go ahead with your work.

Since you came here with Portia and I came with Gregory, I think we should go back home separately.

I’ll leave with him.”

Carlos’s face fell abruptly. He looked intently into her eyes and requested sternly, “No way! Wait for me

here. Don’t go anywhere or with anyone else.”

Debbie pouted and said in an unconvinced tone, “Yes, sir! As you wish.

I’m gonna listen to you since there are so many people here. I don’t want to make you look bad in front

of them.”

“Be good…” Carlos drew closer to her and whispered.

“Wait for me and we’ll go back home together, okay?”

Debbie nodded slowly. At that moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman standing a short

distance away. In an instant, she drew closer to Carlos and wrapped her arms around his neck as she

planted a kiss on his cheek.

“Okay,” she said sweetly.

Confused by her initiative kiss and the sweet smile on her face, Carlos discreetly scanned the hall out

of the corner of his eye. As expected, he noticed some women and understood her little trick at once.

Portia and Olga were among the women who were watching them from a short distance away.

He dotingly pinched her nose.

“How dare you make use of me? You better pay me back when we’re home.”

Pretending innocence, she shrugged her shoulders and said in a helpless voice, “I have no choice. My

husband is good at attracting all kinds of women. I have to drive them away, right?”

Carlos smiled lovingly.

“Yeah, whatever you say. Wait for me here. I’LL be back as soon as possible.”

They pulled away from each other and Carlos walked away. As soon as he disappeared into the crowd,

the women who had been watching them came up to Debbie.

Portia had returned to her normal self. With a glass of cocktail in her hand, she sat opposite Debbie.

Olga did the same. A few other wealthy ladies from Alorith followed suit. Most of these women had

fought with

Debbie at the last party and she had spilled blood red wine all over their dresses.

Debbie didn’t want anything to do with those women. She stood up to leave.
