Glenda's face twitched when she heard what Debbie said. "You're just after his money, aren't you? Tell you what, I'll give you ten million. Take your bastard child and leave Mr. Huo."
"Ten million?" Debbie sneered. "At least you're not as stingy as your daughter. She offered five."
Glenda cast her a disdainful look. "Like the idea? Then fine, take the money and get your ass out of the country. I won't even say a word about the coffee you poured on ."
Debbie didn't have the ti for gas. 'If I ever had any doubts, they're gone. Jas, Glenda and Stephanie are definitely family. All arrogant and shockingly open about their cruelty. But neither mother nor daughter is as cunning as Jas.' "Like mother, like daughter. You've cheated on your husband for so many years. Your daughter stole my husband while his mories were gone. And you both think money can buy everything. Five million? Ten million? Co on! You can do better than that."
Debbie stood up from her seat and added, "Lady—and I use the term loosely—I'll give you fifty million. Take your bitch of a daughter and get out of my sight."
Glenda couldn't keep her cool anymore. She stood up and raised her hand, about to slap Debbie.
Debbie, however, caught her wrist with her left hand and slapped her in the face with the right. Smack!
"Argh!" Glenda scread at the top of her lungs.
There were not many guests at the cafe—only two young girls, likely students, were sitting at another table. Not wanting any part of this, they imdiately picked up their backpacks and went to the cashier's desk to pay. They left in a hurry.
Debbie shook her hand and said impatiently, "Don't call . Ever. I'm busy, and I don't have ti for your drama."
Glenda's face was already red and swollen from the force of Debbie's slap. Her tears fell as she yelled, "You bitch! Guards!"
The bodyguards, who had been standing by the gate all this ti, ran towards her. "Mrs. Li."
Glenda raised her hand and pointed at Debbie. "Grab her," she said in a chilly voice.
Debbie shrugged helplessly. 'Seriously? I really don't have ti for this.'
She turned to the bodyguards and said, "Hey guys. Let's take this outside. Don't want to smash the cafe, right? Hey, didn't you hear ?"
While she was speaking, a bodyguard kicked a chair hard and sent it flying forward, spinning on one leg.
The young mother dodged the chair, and then quickly reached into her purse.
She took out a few hundred dollars and gave the money to the cashier, who was shivering behind the counter. "Sorry about the ss. Keep the change."
The cashier didn't take the wad of cash she offered, cowering behind the counter at the sight of the two fierce bodyguards bearing down on Debbie.
Debbie smiled and put the money on the counter before heading outside.
However, a man grabbed her by the shoulder and was about to spin her around. At this mont, her phone rang. She smashed the hand with her purse and shouted, "Get your filthy paw off !"
Ignoring the bodyguard's stunned expression, she pulled out her phone and checked the caller ID—Carlos Huo.
She held her phone up, making sure she had Glenda's attention. "It's Carlos. Last chance to call them off."
Na-dropping certainly had its perks. Glenda was afraid of Carlos and what he might do if her guards manhandled Debbie. "Stop!" she ordered.
Debbie smiled and answered the call in Glenda's presence. "Hi honey, you miss ?" she asked softly on purpose. Without sparing Glenda another glance, she walked off.
"Who's with you?" Carlos asked, his voice devoid of any emotion.
"None of your business!" Since she was out of the cafe, she didn't need to act anymore. "It's cool. I handled it. Don't cause any more trouble."
After saying that, she hung up.
'Ever since we've been together, people have co out of the woodwork to ss with , ' she thought angrily.
Carlos was stunned. 'I caused trouble for her? When? How?'
Rubbing his aching temples, he called Frankie in. "Find out who Debbie was with today and what they did."
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
Debbie thought Glenda was done, but she was wrong. Glenda asked her bodyguards to follow the singer's car.
Debbie stopped the car and got out. The bodyguards did the sa.
She leaned against her car and used her finger to call them forward. It worked; they were pretty upset. The two bodyguards looked at each other before rushing over.
Before they could even touch Debbie, she kicked one in the stomach, and grabbed the other's arm. He stumbled backward before tripping over his buddy, hitting his head on the ground. They rolled on the road and finally stopped.
They then realized that they were no match for Debbie, so they struggled to their feet, ran back to their car and sped off.
Glenda called her daughter and complained, "Hey Stephanie, I finally know why you hate Debbie so much. She has a sharp tongue."
Stephanie took a look at the photos in her hand and asked casually, "You t with her?"
"Yes. I wanted to find out why Carlos chose her instead of you. I didn't expect her to slap ! She'll pay for that." 'Stephanie has to be Mrs. Huo. Otherwise, everything Jas did would be in vain, ' she thought.
Stephanie froze for a mont, and asked with a frown, "Mom, she hit you?"
"Yeah. She's a tough cookie. Even my bodyguards failed . Stephanie, be careful if you deal with her," Glenda said through gritted teeth.
'Seriously? She hit my mom!' Angry could be seen in her beautiful eyes. "Mom, I have to go. Don't worry. She'll pay for what she did today."
Stephanie called her assistant over and told her, "Post these photos online!"
"Yes, Miss Li."
That evening, the pictures went viral, and Debbie's na was trending high on social dia.
Almost everyone in the city saw the photo of her and Ivan's marriage certificate. The news said they had secretly been married for so ti.
Of course, this made her look like a liar. She had said publicly, in her concert, that she and Ivan were just friends.
What was more, soone even snapped a photo of Debbie trying on a wedding dress. People speculated about whether they were holding a wedding ceremony soon.
The important part was that soone released photos of Debbie and Carlos hugging each other on the beach while on vacation. Rumor had it that Debbie had dated two n at the sa ti.
Carlos had gotten engaged to Stephanie. So many people cursed Debbie angrily online saying, "I feel bad for her husband and Stephanie. Debbie Nian is such a bitch!"
Debbie was not affected by the news at all. She even asked her PR team to make the news go viral.
