“No, no, no! I was just kidding. Mr. President, don’t take it seriously. Mmm...” She
was unable to talk anymore as Carlos gagged her with his Lips, his hand rubbing
her chest.
In the Gomez family’s house
When Portia got home, Griffin and Blanche were still waiting for her in the Living
room. They wanted to find out how she was getting along with
Lewis.
They were freaked out when Portia appeared in front of them. Blanche held her
daughter’s hands and asked anxiously, “Portia, my dear, what's wrong with your
hair? And your cheeks are swollen. What happened?”
Unable to handle the questions, Portia burst into a crying fit, wailing like a baby.
When Portia finally spoke, Griffin, who was in poor health, almost had a seizure.
“It was Debbie. Her friend has been hitting on Lewis, and when I confronted the
girl, Debbie attacked me with a barrage of punches. To add to the humiliation,
she pulled out a pair of scissors and cut my hair, while threatening dire
consequences to anyone who'd attempt to help me. More so, people fear her on
account of Emmett—-her husband. Mom, it was so humiliating, I wished for the
ground to open up and swallow me.”
“Debbie?! ” Both Griffin and Blanche were shocked to hear that name. How the
hell would Debbie have the guts to bully their beloved daughter?
Blanche asked a housemaid to fetch some ice for Portia.
“That bitch
Debbie thinks she is somebody just because she is the wife of Carlos’ secretary,”
she said through gritted teeth, a murderous look in her eyes.
“She thinks she can do whatever she wants now! Next time I see her, I'll shave
her bald!”
Griffin was pissed. He pointed at Portia with a trembling hand.
“Tell me the truth! What did you do? I know Debbie. She is a fairly reasonable
girl. She wouldn't have done this for no reason.”
He had liked Debbie a lot when she and Hayden were dating, for her natural and
poised manner. He still remembered how much she had done for Hayden and
how she always protected Portia.
“Dad, I'm your daughter, not Debbie! Why are you always taking her side?” Portia
protested angrily. Back when Debbie and Hayden were still dating, Portia’s dad
had blamed her every time she and Debbie had a conflict. And now, he still did.
Portia felt it was unfair.
“I only take the right side. Your brother is trying to get Debbie back, but you and
your mom are just doing him a disservice.“ Griffin was disappointed in his
daughter. He also blamed himself for spoiling her.
Yet Blanche disagreed with his words.
“Don't be absurd! Hayden has agreed to get engaged to the youngest daughter
of the Hue family. She's from a truly illustrious family. Debbie is married. Even if
she wasn't, she wasn’t good enough for our son.”
Holding his hands behind his back, a reflective look on his face,
Griffin explained to Blanche patiently, “How many times have I told you about the
Nelson family? It was an influential family in Alorith when
Artie and his father were still alive. Afterwards, Debbie’s grandpa was forced to
sell the company to pay his deep debts to the Loftus family.

Plus, Artie’'s medical expenses cost at
least ten million dollars. It was not
until then that the family started to
run into financial problems. It was
fair to say that before Debbie was
ten, her family had been more
powerful than the Hue family.” The

Blanche wasn't convinced. She said
contemptuously, “Still, the family
went down. Since the day I met her,
she has never been refined as a good
girl from a respectable family should
be. Think about those days she
practiced martial arts. A girl should
be delicate and elegant, but she
fought and somersaulted Like a boy.
What was she? From some savage
tribe? I wonder what Hayden sees in
that poor girl!” The content is on

“You're one to talk! Don’t you know
why Debbie was practicing martial
arts? To save your son and daughter!
It was Hayden who pushed her into
martial arts. Your son was a weakling
who needed her for protection from
bullies. Wouldn't you have done the
same thing if you were in Debbie's
shoes? Look at her now. She doesn't
have to protect your children
anymore. She even married Emmett,
and since Emmett works for Carlos,
by extension she also has Carlos’
protection. Does she need to practice
martial arts anymore? Look how
delicate she is now. I think you have
noticed that yourself.” Having talked
so much, Griffin started to breathe
hard. The content is on
