True Love Waits

Chapter 439 I'll Be Your Cousin-in-law

Of course, what prompted Debbie to look into the link between Stephanie and James was something Miranda had said. She told Debbie there was something fishy going on there. "Don't worry. Maybe Mr. Huo's not as savvy as James, but he's way wealthier, and more powerful. If anyone can dig up dirt on James, it's him," Jared said confidently. He had faith in Carlos.

"Let's not be carried away. Carlos isn't God. He can't do everything. He still doesn't know who killed Megan. Curtis won't do anything about it, but Carlos and Wesley are on it. Even they haven't found anything conclusive."

"I know that, but I don't think you give him enough credit. Oh, did you hear? The cops found Megan's diary. I think Carlos will have that diary soon. What do you think that manipulative bitch... I mean...um..I should respect the dead, right? What do you think Megan had written in her diary?"

Debbie shrugged. "How should I know? I spent more time trying to keep her away from Carlos than I did getting to know her."

And even more infuriatingly, even dead, Megan was still a troublemaker. Someone framed her for Megan's death. 'Whoever that guy is, I want to throw him into the sea and watch the sharks tear him apart!' she swore in her mind.

"Fine, I'll drop it. Doing anything fun for your birthday? I bought something for you. Your birthday is just around the corner-why haven't you said anything? No party?" Jared asked on the other end. Debbie's lips twitched. "Aren't you nosy today? Is it because you're happy you'll have a kid soon?"

"I guess I am kinda talking your ear off. Sorry. And of course I'm happy. I have a kid on the way, you're going to be vindicated, my dad and Damon don't hate me because of you anymore, and you'll get back with Carlos soon. Why wouldn't I be happy?"

A ghost of a smile played across Debbie's face. She wasn't as happy as he was. "Look, Jared, when Carlos finds out the truth, he'll feel pretty bad about what happened. But that's not what I want. I want him to remember everything about me. I want the old Carlos back. I don't want his pity; I want his love. It will be hard for him at first, but at least he'll get it, and we can make up for lost time. Besides, when he spoils me again as he used to, that'll be the time I carry out my plan."

If his memory didn't return, all he'd be able to understand was the past few months. He'd feel bad, but it wouldn't be the same. He'd need his memory back to understand what she went through for three long years.

"So what's the plan?" Jared couldn't understand her intentions now.

it's time he gets a taste of his own medicine. He won't forget me after I'm done. He'll also learn to love me. I'm not a girl he can use and dump. I'm his wife, dammit, and

"I feel ya, Tomboy! I'm behind you 100 percent. You're no pushover, my dear. And when Carlos gets his memory back, you'll go riding forth on a white horse, and hell will be riding with you." Debbie laughed at his theatrics. She knew he was kidding, and he always knew what to say to hit her funny bone. "Okay, okay. Knock it off. I
