Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife

So while preparing for his wedding, Ivan had to work overtime to cope with the trouble Carlos made for him.

Numerous times, he cursed himself late at night why he had been dumb enough to have chosen Debbie, out of all the women, for a sham marriage. After all, he had many other female friends to choose from. If he hadn't made the wrong choice, Carlos wouldn't have been angry with him and giving him a hard time now.

However, just as he was busy solving problems, Carlos suddenly stopped progressing with the purchase.

Just as he felt relieved and thought Carlos had let him off the hook, Ivan found that someone was buying his company's shares at a high price and selling them low.

Ivan was on the brink of having a nervous breakdown.

He was so miserable and helpless that he had to call Debbie for help. "Debbie, I raised Carlos' child for more than a year. Does he have to be so heartless to me?" he complained once she answered the phone.

"What's wrong?" Debbie was puzzled. She knew nothing about Carlos' recent acts of revenge on Ivan. Ever since that press conference that Carlos held, she had been swamped with commercials.

Then for the first time in Ivan's life, he broke down and started confiding in a woman about the cruel and callous things another man was doing to his business, which were taking a great toll on him.

Debbie was completely taken by surprise. "I'm sorry, Ivan. I didn't know he was doing that. It's all because of me. I'll try and talk to him."

"Please speak to him soon. The company is in utter chaos. I didn't even have time to accompany Kasie to pick out her wedding dress. My mom had to go with her instead. Because I had to sort out the mess Carlos created for me. At times I have been so depressed I wanted to kill myself. Please, Tomboy, call him now." The day Kasie and Ivan went to the bridal shop to pick out a wedding dress, Ivan was just about to try on a suit for himself when he got an urgent call and had to rush back to the office.

Before he left, he called his mom to come to the bridal shop to keep Kasie company. Thankfully, Kasie was understanding, and she didn't complain.

"Okay, I'll call him now." 'Carlos has gone too far.'

Debbie was deep in thought before she finally made the call. The phone rang a couple of times before it was answered. "Honey!" Carlos called gently.

"Knock it off. I'm not your wife. Why are you so mean to Ivan? Are you trying to make me feel bad?" Debbie asked bluntly.
