Chapter 573

“I like you, but that’s not love. I see you as family.”

Megan couldn’t take it. This was not what she had expected. She took a few steps back while shaking

her head in disbelief.

“No, no! Uncle

Carlos, you are always so good to me. You love me! I know you do!”

Carlos sighed deeply.

“Megan, Listen to me.”

He tried to calm her down, but in the end, Megan’s illness reared its head again. She sLumped onto the

ground, gasping for air

Carlos closed his eyes tightly in resignation, scooped her up, and started walking towards the house.

Sitting in the car, Debbie watched her husband carry another woman in his arms all the way to the

manor.

That wasn’t what she wanted. Not even what she needed. She was hoping to get away from all this,

away from Carlos’ family, away from creepy

Lewis, who had plucked the straw that broke the camel’s back. From judgmental Valerie and James,

two oldsters who didn’t like her because her family wasn’t rich. Because there was no advantage for

“Got it. Bye, honey.”

“Bye.”

The car stopped in front of a white villa. Debbie had expected to see an empty house, but when she got

out of the car, she could see lights were on inside the house through the windows. She assumed

Carlos must have told someone to turn the lights on for her.

Carlos’ assistant led her inside. Two maids were waiting for her.

“Good evening, Mrs. Hilton,” they greeted her with a bow at the main entrance.

Debbie nodded with a smile and asked, “Is the room ready?”

“Yes, Mrs. Hilton. The room is upstairs. Please follow me.”

“Thank you.”

It was already past midnight. Debbie was tired and was in no mood to tour the villa. She plopped onto

the bed as soon as she walked into the bedroom. She just wanted to become one with the night, close

her eyes, and forget the events of the past few days. She could swear that the
