“I think we need a talk now.”

Debbie pursed her lips. She could sense the warning in his tone, but she wasn’t afraid. In a hushedvoice, she threatened, “You sure you want a talk now? There’s no telling of the outcome.”

The great CEO chickened out at once. He couldn’t afford to irritate her now.

A few moments later, Carlos and Curtis were invited to a business talk by some other guest.Meanwhile, Debbie and Colleen sat idly at the food section, enjoying the food and watching the guestscome and go.

Debbie’s phone suddenly buzzed. It was a message from Ruby. As she bowed her head to text back,she heard some people behind her gossiping.

“Look, that’s Debbie, the woman who separated Carlos and

Stephanie.”

“Isn’t she Carlos’ ex-wife? Why did she do that? Do you think she wants to remarry Carlos?”

“Of course. After all, Carlos is so rich and powerful. I bet she must have been regretting it every dayafter the divorce.”

Their voices were loud enough to be heard by Debbie and Colleen. The two simultaneously turned theirheads around, only to replace the gossipers were a group of unacquainted women. They were glaring in

Debbie’s direction while berating her fervently.

The gossipers were taken aback and caught off-guard when they made eye contact with Debbie,although they didn’t flinch nor Leave the spot.

With her right elbow rested on the table behind her, Debbie smirked and asked in a raised voice, “Heygirls, are you talking about me?”

Colleen stood up, in a bid to give those women a piece of her mind, but

Debbie tugged at her sleeve to stop her.

The group of women remained silent, staring at her warily.

Debbie glanced over their shoulders and saw that Carlos was slowly approaching them. In an instant, abright smile crept across her face, and she spoke again in the same raised voice.

“How did you know that

I‘m only after Carlos* money? What should I do now? You’ve seen through me. Yes, Carlos is rich, andI love his money!”

One of the nosy women widened her eyes in disbelief upon hearing

Debbie’s words. She cussed, “Listen to yourself! Shame on you!”

“Shame?” Debbie blinked her eyes mischievously.

“You mean me? I’m shameless?”

She was deliberately provoking the women. She could see that Carlos was standing right behind themand could hear every word that was said now.

Many of the other guests had noticed that there was a commotion going on. Out of curiosity, theybegan to make their way to the food section, so that they could hear what was happening.
