“Please speak to him soon. The company is in utter chaos. I didn’t even have time to accompany Kasieto pick out her wedding dress. My mom had to go with her instead. Because I had to sort out the messCarlos created for me. At times I have been so depressed I wanted to kill myself. Please, Tomboy, callhim now.” The day Kasie and Ivan went to the bridal shop to pick out a wedding dress, Ivan was justabout 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 beforeit 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.

Carlos smiled.

“Of course not. If you stay at the manor tonight, I’ll let Ivan off immediately. What do you say?”

“Too busy. I have a business trip tomorrow. I have to get ready,” she refused without hesitation.

“Where are you going?”

“France. It’s beside the point. I’m calling to ask you to leave Ivan alone. He’s innocent. I agreed to havea sham marriage with him. If you’re angry, take it out on me, or hit me. Just Leave Ivan out of it.”

Hit Debbie? Carlos would rather hurt himself than do that.

“Fine. Call me, ‘Honey.’ Then I‘1l let him off,” Carlos said, compromising with a frown.

Debbie rolled her eyes.

“Carlos, this call never happened. Since you’re so stubborn, there’s only one choice left for me.”

“What’s that?”

“I can’t Let you take the Walker Group from Ivan, so I’ll leave the

Star Empire and go back to the Walker Group.” Debbie wouldn’t concede

“You can’t afford the default fine,” he declared calmly.

Debbie smiled.

“No, I can’t. But my ex-husband can. If I want to leave the Star Empire, he’ll support my decision andhelp me out. Right,

Carlos?”

Carlos smiled hopelessly in a resigned manner. She knew he cared about her and that she was hisAchilles’ heel.

“How about a kiss, then?” Carlos tried again
