Debbie’s dad died a few years ago and her mom ran away from home a long time ago.”

Debbie’s face darkened as soon as she heard her parents mentioned.

Valerie sneered, “No wonder she’s so rude. It turns out that both of her parents were irresponsible andtaught her nothing.”

Debbie’s eyes burned with rage. She stalked towards the two on the sofa. Megan and Valerie werescared when they saw her angry face. Yet the old lady managed to remain calm despite her fright.

“What do you want?” she demanded.

“What do I want? Old Lady, you’re Lucky that you’re Carlos’ grandma, so

I won’t do anything to you. However, Megan is not my elder…”

Debbie grabbed Megan’s collar abruptly and pulled her up.

“As her aunt,

I’ll teach her a lesson.”

Since Debbie had just done the cleaning, her dirty fingers left black streaks on Megan’s white collar.Megan screamed, “Yikes. Gross. Let go of me!”

“Gross?” Debbie sneered.

“You think that’s gross? You should be used to it. Why are you so condescending? My husband treatsyou well, so you think you’re a princess? Listen up: you’re trash! From now on, show some respect. Ihave a temper.”

With that, she pushed Megan so forcefully the girl staggered and fell onto the sofa.

Furious, Valerie started panting for breath. Seeing Megan was thrown to the sofa, she trotted over topull the girl up.

“Dear, are you okay?” she asked in worry.

Megan trembled in the old lady’s arms.

Watching the two, Debbie remarked indifferently, “I don’t owe this family anything. Even though youtreat me Like shit, I’ll still call you ‘Grandma, ‘ because you’re Carlos’ grandma and I love him. I don’twant any problems between us, because he’ll have to take sides.”

After a short pause, not long enough for the old lady and the girl to respond, she continued talking.

“But there’s a line. I hope for your sake you don’t cross that Line again. As an elder, you should knowbetter. I’ll Let Megan off the hook this time, but if she talks about my parents again, things won’t be soeasy for her, I swear.”

After that, Debbie turned and went upstairs.

Valerie was too furious to say anything. If it were possible, steam would have poured from her ears.

Back in her room, Debbie decided to get comfortable. She drew a nice warm bath and washed thegrime away. She had hardly put clean clothing on before her phone rang. She knew the number byheart, even though she didn’t have him in her contact list. It was Hayden. ‘Why’s he calling?’ shewondered.

In a bad mood, Debbie decided not to answer it, just let it go to voicemail. She wasn’t very goodcompany right now. Then she got a text message from him.

“I’m in New York. I need to see you. It’s important.”
