Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

Debbie fixed her gaze on Gail, with a cold fury in her eyes. "How the hell do you know I have a brother? And how come you know where he is?"

With an increasing amount of her time being spent with Carlos, she was beginning to resemble him in quite a few aspects. Right now, her eyes were as intimidating as Carlos' when he got angry. Gail was scared by her strong aura and took a few steps back. She had once eavesdropped on her parents' conversation, but didn't know much details. She had mentioned it only to get Debbie to talk. "I know everything," Gail bluffed. "I know about your mother. Her family took your brother abroad when he was a baby. You weren't even born yet."

Mother... It was a taboo word to Debbie.

She grabbed Gail by her collars and shouted in a harsh voice, "Tell me more!"

"Let me go! What do you think you're doing, Debbie Nian? I thought you had become a good girl now. But evidently, I heard wrong. You haven't changed a bit. You're the same bully as before!" Gail broke off Debbie's grip and adjusted her messy shirt in annoyance.

The last few days, Gail's classmates had been all telling her that Debbie had changed—she was now a good student and did not bully people anymore. Gail knew better than anyone else whether Debbie had changed or not. After all, she and Debbie had known each other for around twenty years. Gail had to admit that Debbie had indeed changed—she had become a better girl, and this fact angered Gail even more than her relationship with Carlos.

"Tell me!" Debbie repeated through gritted teeth.

Out of fear, Gail had to give in to her. Despite her unwillingness, she started her story. "Fine... Your maternal grandfather was completely against your mother being with your father, and when they wouldn't listen, took your brother away from them. The next year, your mother gave birth to you. When you were two months old, your grandfather also took your mother away. That's all I know. I swear!" Gail had only heard this much before she had been discovered by a servant in her family. She had pretended that she had just come back home. As a result, Lucinda and Sebastian had no idea that their daughter had heard them talking about Debbie's family.

Debbie remained speechless for a long time, pondering on what Gail had told her.

'Why did grandpa forbid mom from being with dad? Why did he take mom and brother away from me and dad?

So mom didn't abandon us...'

When she came back to her senses and wanted to ask Gail some more questions, Gail spoke first. "Tell me the relationship between you and Carlos Huo. Or I am just going to shut up and nothing in the world's gonna make me talk."

"We are..." Debbie's voice trailed off. 'No! I can't tell her about our relationship. If she knew about it, then the whole world would know.' So she lied. "What you saw is real. I like him."
