Chapter: 44
“Book a ticket to New York for me.” There were a few things he had to do
anyway. One, he wanted to pay his grandfather a visit. And two, he preferred to
talk with his wife about their divorce in person. “It was better not to delay either of
those matters, “ he thought to himself.
“Yes, Carlos.”
Initially, Debbie had planned to have some fun in New York before flying back
home. But later on, she had received a message from Gail out of the blue. It was
regarding Lucinda; she had gotten into an accident.
As soon as she read it, she called Sebastian to check on her aunt’s situation. Her
uncle did not sound too distressed.
“It’s not that bad,” he said in a comforting voice. But despite Sebastian’s
reassurance, she was still worried. After the phone call, she quickly packed her
things and went to the airport.
The moment she got on the homeward bound plane, Carlos’ plane just landed in
New York. But due to a curious twist of fate, they missed their chances of having
their first meeting as a married couple, ironically to discuss their divorce.
Six days later, Carlos came back from New York as well, but he did not have any
time to rest. A meeting with an important client had been scheduled at Orchid
Private Club. As soon as he got off the plane, he had to head straight to the
venue if he wanted to arrive on time.
The night fell. A Bentley sped past along the road.
Due to the evening rush hour, they were stuck in a traffic jam that extended all
the way to the intersection. The car wasn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Carlos
rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.
Tired, he took a drag on the cigarette to elevate his spirits.
While his car was not moving, Carlos saw a bunch of people fighting in a lane.
Seven men had cornered a woman against a wall. Something about the scenario
felt oddly familiar.
When he saw who the woman was, Carlos coughed out a mouthful of smoke
which hid the look in his eyes.
The conflict amongst the eight people did not Last long. When one of the seven
men raised a hand, the young lady deftly kicked him who was going to strike her.
Emmett, who was becoming uneasy in the car, worried that his boss might get
impatient and Lash out on him. He fidgeted in his spot and his eyes wandered
around in the streets as well. His eyes widened when he saw the commotion.
In a surprised voice, he exclaimed, “Carlos! Isn’t that…” The shock made him
stutter.
“Isn’t that Mrs. — I mean, Debbie?” Once Emmett was certain that it was indeed
Debbie, he could not believe his eyes. The woman was fighting alone against
one, two, three… seven men. Debbie was in a fight against seven men!
While stubbing out the cigarette, Carlos exhaled the last mouthful of smoke, and
demanded, “Shut up!” No one needed to tell him who the Lady was. Even from
afar, he had quickly recognized that it was Debbie in another brawl. “Does she
have nothing else better to do?’ he thought, scowling.
Emmett opened the door and was about to get out of the car when he heard his
boss’ cold voice.
“If you get out of this car,” Carlos began, “don’t bother getting in again.”
Frozen, Emmett stopped himself just in time. His mind was reeling.
Under the firm gaze of his boss, the conflicted man could only utter,

was clear, Carlos did not respond.
