True Love Waits

Chapter 295 I'll Give Up On You

"It's true. That was the only thing Emmett let slip to me. I don't know much about anything else. He didn't tell me even though I asked multiple times," Kasie said from the other end of the phone. "I see. Anyway, there's one more thing that's been troubling me..." Debbie said gloomily.

"What's that?"

Debbie told Kasie about Valerie's phone call.

After hearing everything, Kasie roared, "What the hell?! James Huo slapped you again? Dammit! He has really disgraced his son. Such a shameless father! And the old lady has some nerve, requesting you to plead with Carlos to let them both go. Unbelievable! Listen, leave these matters alone. Just let your husband do whatever he wants. Don't put in a good word for any of them. You have to take this chance to let the Huo family know that you have Mr. Huo's full support. If your husband is determined to punish Lewis and James this time, it will serve as a warning to the others. Even the old lady won't dare bully you again."

"But... I already promised Carlos' grandma that I'd try to help."

Frustrated, Kasie scolded, "Debbie! Why are you so soft-hearted? Ugh! I'm so pissed! Your husband is serious about giving them harsh punishment. How can you be such a lamb now?"

Debbie dropped into silence. After talking to her for a while longer, she ended the call.

A few minutes later, Debbie's phone rang again. The call was from an unknown number. But it didn't look like Valerie's. 'Could it be someone else from the Huo family?' she wondered with a sigh. She answered, "Hello?"

"Deb. Um...Debbie. Portia and I are on our way to apologize to you," a lewd voice said. Debbie knew at once who it was.

She replied coldly, "Hmm."

"Um... We just arrived in England. We haven't gotten over the jet lag yet, but we are eager to see you right away. Please tell me where we can find you now." Debbie had no intentions of meeting them. "We don't need to meet."

Detecting a sliver of hope from her words, Hayden immediately assured her, "Portia knows her faults now. She will surely change for the better. Trust me. Please, just accept her apology. Deb, thank you!" "Don't thank me yet." She didn't want to make a rash decision. Hayden wasn't such an important person to her. She didn't want to easily change her mind just because of one phone call from him. After a moment of silence, Hayden said affectionately, "Deb,
