Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Chapter 388



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.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

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.

Just then, Emmett’s phone rang. With one hand on the wheel, he answered it.

“Hello, this is… What?! When? Okay, got it. Thank you. Bye!”

After hanging up, he cast a careful glance at his boss sitting in the back seat, then cleared his throat and said, “Er… Carlos, something has happened to Debbie.”

Carlos’ eyes flew open, and his piercing gaze sent a chill running down

Emmett’s spine. Emmett wanted nothing more than to hit the brakes and ditch the car to get as far away from his boss as possible.
