Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1385

‘Forbes Billionaires list? The most beautiful woman in the world? A son older than Evelyn?’ Davisrecalled Carlos’ words once again in his mind, but he stopped there. There was no way he could makeit. Staring at the receding figures of the three, Davis suddenly realized something. Carlos was making ajoke.

‘Hey, wait. Was he talking about himself? He’s one of the richest men in the world. He’s powerful. Hiswife is the loveliest singer. Of course he’d want someone just like him to vie for his daughter’s hand…”

Even after they were too far away to see Davis, Carlos still wore a dark expression, emanatingcoldness. He wasn’t happy with the idea that someone would marry his lovely daughter one day andtake her away from him. Debbie sighed helplessly.

“When did you get here? Why didn’t you tell me you and Piggy were coming?” she asked

Carlos’ face softened a little, but his voice still sounded stern when he spoke.

“So if I told you I was coming, would I see you eating with another guy?”

Debbie snapped nonchalantly, “What? You have a problem with me having dinner with my colleagues?”

Carlos didn’t say anything else. He didn’t dare. He didn’t want to piss her off. At this point, his angerhad completely vanished, and he apologized tenderly, “No. My bad. Sorry.” He pulled her closer to him

Debbie sneered, “Carlos, no need to apologize. Give me my daughter and you can leave now.” Withthat, she reached out her arms to Piggy

Carlos held their daughter tightly and pulled away from Debbie while patiently coaxing, “I didn’t fly allthe way out here to give you our daughter. We’ll wait till you’re done with work and go home together.”

He winked at his daughter. Evelyn got the hint and echoed, “Mommy,

Daddy and I missed you. Don’t make us go.”

“Make them go?’

Debbie took a deep breath and forced out a smile before explaining,

“Mommy won’t make you go. You’ll stay with me. But Daddy’s a busy CEO, so we shouldn’t keep himfrom his work…”

“Honey, that doesn’t matter. Mom can run the company for me,” Carlos quickly chipped in, a cunningsmile on his face.

Debbie’s lips twitched. Miranda and Carlos were ganging up on her. She smirked, “Quit calling me‘honey.’ By the way, are you going to deal with James or not?”

With this name brought up, the playful smile on his face faded away

“Of course,” he said, a cold glint in his eyes. He had just seen James two days before. The sly old foxshould have figured out Carlos was back to normal. But they didn’t talk about that. They just madesmall talk.

“He’s transferring his property. Some of the staff, cooperative projects and company assets areinvolved in his case, including the branch company in New York. So I have to handle it carefully andquietly,” Carlos explained. He knew Debbie wanted to see James Live out his remaining days in jail.

So he was collecting evidence of James’ crimes, leaving no stone unturned. He had even employed athird-party finance company to audit

Hilton Group’s accounts, just in case.

As far as he knew, corruption and bribery had become commonplace in

Hilton Group when James took over as CEO. And it didn’t stop with James

—many employees were involved on some Level. But most of them had cleaned up their acts afterCarlos resumed his rightful place as head of the company.
