Chapter 128
Chapter: 129
When his son hugged him, Jasper intended to ask his son to leave him alone, but what Jared said intrigued him.
“What’s happened?” he asked his son.
“Dad, Do you know Carlos?” Jared asked.
“Carlos? Which Carlos? Carlos Hilton?”
“Yes.” Upon hearing Carlos’ name, Jared immediately let go of his father and stood straight. With a towering height of six foot eleven, he looked like a tree.
Jasper looked at his son in confusion and asked, “Why did you suddenly bring him up?”
“Because he is… he is a demon. I feel sorry for you old guys who have to do business with him.”
When Jasper heard his son call him an old guy, he slapped him in the shoulder and said, “You ungrateful lad, I’m your father. Show some respect! Did Carlos give you a hard time? I’m telling you, stay away from him. Messing with him is the stupidest thing anyone can do. He will make sure you will never see the sun rise again.”
Despite being frightened, Jared sneered to save face.
When his phone buzzed, he read his WeChat message and his eyes widened like watermelons.
“What the hell?”
If nothing had happened tonight, he wouldn’t have believed what was written in the message. However, after all of that, he was ready to believe that even fishes could fly.
In the group’s chat on WeChat, Debbie said, “Carlos is actually my husband.”
Then she added, “But I’m trying to get a divorce.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Moron! commented Jared.
He was relieved when Kasie and Kristina pretty much said the same thing. ‘Who in their right mind would not want to be Carlos’s wife?”
In Esastin Villa, Debbie was told to clean the living room by herself as punishment. She replied to her friends’ messages as she put the empty cans into the bin.
“You don’t understand. We didn’t get married because we loved each other. It’s nothing Like that. I don’t love him and he doesn’t love me. I’m still young. Why should I be trapped in this loveless marriage?”
Kasie had jumped out of bed when she read Debbie’s first message. Her hands were shaking from excitement. It took a while before she calmed down and said, “Debbie, are you really that old- fashioned? Times have changed! Who cares about love now? Can love keep you alive? Although you don’t love each other, Carlos is rich, handsome, and powerful.
That’s everybody’s dream. What else do you want?”
When Debbie sat down on the sofa speechlessly, Kristina said, “I just realized that I have been shopping at the Shining International Plaza with the owner of Shining International Plaza.”
Dixon couldn’t believe Debbie was married and what shocked him even more was that her husband was Carlos, the man whose face was as cold as an iceberg.
“Think it over, Debbie. Divorce is huge. To be honest, I think Carlos is the right man for you. You know, considering your personality. He might be the only one that can take your hot temper down a notch.”
Dixon’s words made Debbie even more determined to get divorced. She didn’t want a husband who would take control of her life.
After a long while, Jared joined in the conversation again.
