Chapter 490: Let It Go

Chapter 490: Let It Go

Carlos sat straight and pulled Debbie in his arms. "Honey, we need to talk," he said seriously.         

    

"What do you want to talk about?"     

"Our sex life!" He hadn't made love to her for a long time.     

Blushing, Debbie stole a glance at Tristan, who was driving the vehicle. She covered Carlos' mouth with her hand, glaring at him, and spat, "Stop talking nonsense, old man! You're not young anymore. Too much sex is bad for your health."     

Carlos chuckled at her red face and rolled up the interior screen so they could have some privacy.     

Debbie removed her hand from his mouth, and Carlos held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let her go. He whispered in her ear, "Honey, if I wait any longer, I'm afraid that something might happen to my manhood."     

Debbie pulled out her phone and started reading updates on Weibo while saying, "Does that have anything to do with me?"     

"Of course it does. You're my wife, yet you forbid me from doing my duty as your husband. If I get sick one day because of that, you'll be the one to blame." After saying that, he kissed her affectionately on the lips.     

Debbie pushed him away and ignored what he said. "How's Megan's case going? Now that we know the mastermind is Stephanie, what are you planning to do?" she asked.     

The mere mention of Stephanie was enough to gross Carlos out. His desire decreased, and his eyes became clearer. "Well, I haven't found the woman who disguised herself as you. Once I find her, I'll sue Stephanie for it."     

"What if you fail to find her? Will Stephanie get away with this?"     

Carlos played with her hair, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes. "Of course not. If I fail to find that woman, I'll use all means to make Stephanie speak."     

Debbie held his hand so he couldn't play with her hair. "How did it go in the hotel room? Did James give himself away?" she asked seriously.     

Carlos gave her a reassuring smile and said, "Stephanie is his daughter. All he had done to you was to separate us and make his daughter the hostess of the Huo family. When his daughter and mistress were being raped right before him, of course, he failed to maintain his composure."     

James tried his best to appear calm, but his red eyes and quickened breaths had betrayed him.     

He had to take two pills to lower his blood pressure. Otherwise, he might have had a heart attack.     

When the beggars left the hotel, James didn't even dare to go inside and check the two women's situation. Poor Niles! Carlos forced him into the bedroom to check on both mother and daughter to see if their lives were in any danger.     

At that time, Niles deeply regretted having chosen to be a doctor. 'I should've listened to Wesley and joined the army. That way, I wouldn't have had to face such an unpleasant situation now, ' he thought.     

A few minutes later, when Niles walked out of the bedroom, his face was drained of all color, and he was as white as a sheet. He shook his head, meaning their lives weren't in danger. Then he rushed to the bathroom to vomit.     

Carlos didn't know what had happened after that as he also left.     

Before leaving the hotel, he gave two cleaning staff members a check each, and then drove off with Curtis.     

Debbie contemplated his words and then said, "Stephanie deserved everything she got. She had people **** Megan and kill her. But Glenda..." 'Glenda just insulted Piggy and me and nothing else. I think Carlos was too hard on her, ' she thought.     

Carlos snorted, "Neither of them can get away with it. Glenda insulted my woman and my daughter. By doing that she was playing with death. I would've had her killed if it weren't for you."     

Debbie rolled her eyes and couldn't help wonder how cruel Carlos had been before they met.     

After Carlos swore that he wouldn't have sex with her against her will, Debbie finally agreed to go to the manor with him.     

He held her in his arms, kissing her repeatedly in an attempt to arouse her, but it was all to no avail. In the end, he had to take a cold shower to calm himself down.         

    

It seemed that Debbie had made up her mind to teach him a lesson. To Carlos, not being allowed to make love to her was the cruelest torture.     

The next day, Carlos got a text message from his man that James had disappeared last night. Before he left the hotel, he had tried to take Stephanie with him, but Carlos' people had stopped him.     

Glenda and Angus got divorced. Angus was not surprised at all, nor did he try to make her stay. He had mentally prepared for this day a long time ago. A     

fter signing the divorce papers, Angus flew to New York. The first thing he did after he arrived was to go to the mental hospital and visit Tabitha.     

At the mental hospital     

Tabitha was a mere bag of bones and not the elegant lady she used to be. She was playing with a beach ball, and her eyes were lifeless and empty. At times she would laugh like a lunatic, and other times she would cry like a baby.     

Angus was in a nice suit and leather shoes. His heart ached when he saw her. "Tabitha," he greeted her in a soft voice.     

Angus had known Tabitha when he was a kid. They had been desk mates at primary school. When they grew up, she married James, and he married Glenda because of his grandfather's request.     

Upon hearing her name, Tabitha raised her head and gave Angus a broad smile. "Are you here to play with me?" she asked.     

Angus shook his head. He wasn't sure if Tabitha could understand him, but he still said, "Glenda and I got divorced. All these years, I thought I could make her fall in love with me, but I was wrong. She even..." His voice trailed off. He had long known that Glenda and James were having an affair, but he was always too cowardly to accept it and expose it.     

Tabitha took a bite of the beach ball in her hand. Her eyes lit up, and she gave it to Angus. "Yummy! Do you want to try some?"     

Angus looked at her, stunned, and then shook his head. "Tabitha, I want to tell you something. James lied to you. He isn't the man who saved you. I feel bad for you. Tabitha, you should divorce him. You deserve someone better than him."     

The mere mention of James' name put Tabitha on alert. She looked at Angus warily and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here? Where's James? Bring him here. Why doesn't he come to see me?"     

Angus forced a bitter smile. How could he tell Tabitha that her husband had been fooling around with another woman while she was suffering in a mental hospital? "Tabitha, we're no longer young. We should just let it go and move on. James won't end up well. Carlos is dealing with him now. It's all because of Stephanie..."     

Angus' eyes reddened. That night, Carlos had his men bring him to the hotel, so he knew what had happened.     

Carlos had a block booking for the whole floor and didn't close the door to the room. As a result, Angus could hear everything that was happening while he was standing outside the room.     

He saw the beggars enter the room with obscene smiles. He also saw James sit at the mahjong table.     

He wanted to stop the beggars, but when he thought of everything that Glenda had done to him, he decided otherwise. He hated her. She had been cheating on him for thirty years. The daughter that he had doted on, loved and cherished wasn't his daughter at all, but a product of her infidelity.     

Fortunately, he still had a son, his own flesh and blood.
