Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 394

"What you told me isn't reason enough for her to take revenge on you like this," Carlos said. He could sense that Debbie was way too eager to destroy James. 'She must have some other reason for it, ' he thought.

James was reduced to silence.

Carlos didn't rush him. He watched while the old man worded his reply in his mind.

"Okay. I'll tell you everything. You and Stephanie grew up together. Then, you two fell in love. I had already told the Li family that you would marry Stephanie. But then, you married Debbie. You didn't tell us this until three years later. Our son got married, but as parents, we knew nothing about it for three years. Just put yourself in our shoes. You would get angry too, wouldn't you?" James asked.

Carlos didn't deny it. He waited for him to continue the narrative.

James gulped nervously and went on, "So, I hate her. That year, you brought her to New York to meet us. She talked back to your grandma and made her angry so many times. She picked on Megan and made her cry every day. The most irritating part was that she thought you spoiled her, so she disrespected every member of the family with no regard for our feelings. Think about it. Who would have liked her?

Soon after that, Hayden had come to New York to meet her. They met in a coffee bar; they kissed and hugged shamelessly in public. You knew about it because you were there. You were so mad that you didn't speak to her for days. Unexpectedly, you forgave her.

Just when I thought we could finally have some peace in our family, she seduced Lewis. You beat the hell out of Lewis and moved out with her. Your mother begged you to stay, but you didn't listen.

I hated Debbie even more after that. I wanted you to divorce her. After your accident, I staged your death and told her that you were dead. I wanted to test her loyalty. I wanted to know how much she loved you. And she failed, and then she blamed me for lying to her. Yes, I did force her into signing the divorce agreement, but I did it for your own good. Even though I'm not your biological father, I love you.

It was a shock for me when I found out that she had come back for you when she figured that you were still alive. She arranged a meeting with me after that and swore that she would get back with you and destroy me. To be precise, she would rather I die in the process!" James stopped to wipe his fake tears. It looked as if he had aged ten years overnight.

"I hope you now understand that she is doing everything in her power to get back at me," James proclaimed.

"That has nothing to do with you having an affair with the housemaid and beating Mom," Carlos said coldly.

James burst out crying and lied through his teeth, "Carlos, I beat your mom because she was cheating on me at the time. You know I have a temper. I lost it when I found out about her affair. I had to lock her up to stop her from seeing that man. But I didn't think that she would get sick. As for the housemaid, your mom had secretly sent her into my room to make up to me. With the lights turned off, I thought she was your mom and—"

Carlos stood abruptly and cut his act mid-way. "Enough! I'll send you another copy of the divorce papers. Mom has agreed to leave you for good."

"Carlos, I won't. I won't agree to it!" James shouted desperately.

Carlos ignored his pleas and left without sparing him a second glance.

Silence was restored in the ward. James let out a sigh of relief when he heard Carlos' footsteps fade away. He was not sure if Carlos had believed his story. But he knew that it was time to save his own ass.

'That wretched woman!'

He called his assistant. "Debbie is a singer, isn't she? Which song of hers is a hit?" There was a pause. After a moment, he said into the phone, "Destroy her."

The next day, something huge shook the music circle.

One of Debbie's hits was accused of being a plagiarized song.

The accuser was Tammy, another singer from Star Empire. She had released her copy of the original lyrics in the news.
