Then, he continued eating the noodles as if what Megan had just said wasn't a
big deal.
Silence befell the dining room. With an embarrassed smile, Megan tried to
defend herself by saying, “You know, I'm not a girl who speaks ill of other people
behind their backs. But... Uncle Carlos, you need to understand that I'm only
saying this for your sake. To be honest, a woman like Debbie doesn’t deserve
“Megan!” Carlos interrupted her in a stern voice.
Tears welled up in Megan's eyes as she continued stubbornly, “Uncle
Carlos, you never used to scold me for anything. But ever since Debbie popped
up from nowhere... If she behaved herself, I'd be willing to call her my aunt. But
you've seen it with your own eyes. She has a close relationship with Jared and
even dated another man while you were away.”
Carlos put down the chopsticks, picked up a tissue to clean his mouth, and said
with an emotionless face, “Megan, you've misunderstood her.
She and Jared have been good friends for many years. Do not say such things
ever again, okay? Go to bed early.”
Then, he stood up from his seat, adjusted his suit, and walked toward the gates
of the villa.
Megan jumped to her feet, trotted after him and held his waist as he changed his
shoes. She pressed her cheek against his back and pleaded,
“Uncle Carlos, please don’t be angry at me. I just want you to be happy.”
Carlos was not pleased with how she was acting. He shifted away from her and
said in a cold voice, “I know what you meant to say, but you're overreacting. It's
very late. You need to sleep now.”
Sensing that he was in a bad mood, Megan took a step back and said obediently,
“I'm glad you know that, Uncle Carlos. I'll go to bed now.
Have a safe drive.”
Megan knew how to manipulate Carlos’ mood. As expected, his face softened at
her words. He nodded and left the villa.
Inside his Emperor car, Carlos leaned back against his seat with his eyes shut.
Emmett, the driver, stole a glance at his boss and then, carefully choosing his
words, said, “Carlos, we have to attend the open tender in the nearby city
tomorrow morning. When are we leaving for the city?”
The open tender was very important to the Hilton Group and it was why
Carlos had gone out of town in the first place. But after hearing
Debbie say that she missed him, he'd squeezed out some time in his schedule
and rushed back to Alorith.
Silence befell the car. Emmett could tell that Carlos was in a bad mood. Since
Carlos didn’t respond, Emmett didn’t pursue the topic again.
