Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

"But there's a line. I hope for your sake you don't cross that line again. As an elder, you should know better. I'll let Megan off the hook this time, but if she talks about my parents again, things won't be so easy for her, I swear."

After that, Debbie turned and went upstairs.

Valerie was too furious to say anything. If it were possible, steam would have poured from her ears.

Back in her room, Debbie decided to get comfortable. She drew a nice warm bath and washed the grime away. She had hardly put clean clothing on before her phone rang. She knew the number by heart, even though she didn't have him in her contact list. It was Hayden. 'Why's he calling?' she wondered.

In a bad mood, Debbie decided not to answer it, just let it go to voicemail. She wasn't very good company right now. Then she got a text message from him. "I'm in New York. I need to see you. It's important."

'Hayden is in New York?' Debbie was a little worried. "Why are you here? What's so important?" she asked in a text.

"I'll give you the details when we meet up. If you don't come and meet me, I'll go to the Huos' residence to find you,"

he threatened. 'What the heck?' Debbie cursed inwardly. She figured she'd better do as he said. After all, it might cause a scandal inadvertently. She called Carlos to let him know.

"I want to go out for a while," she told him.

"Okay, I'll ask the driver to take you wherever you want to go."

"Okay. Carlos..." Debbie intended to tell him that she was going to meet Hayden, but remembering how jealous he could be, she decided not to.

"Yeah?"

"Oh, nothing. What time are you coming home tonight?"
