That time at the cruiser party, Elroy had wanted to kill her. Curtis protected her secretly.

Although the Loftus family was powerful, they couldn't hold a candle to the Hilton family. So, after Curtis had learned that Debbie had married

Carlos, he didn't have to hide it anymore, and he had started to be good to her openly.

Elroy had warned him a million times to Leave her alone, but Curtis didn't give a damn about the old man's warnings. So right now Curtis’ relationship with his father couldn't be worse. And Curtis didn't care, because he had a strong sense of wrong and right.

Today, if it weren't Curtis’ wedding day, Elroy would have outright refused to appear in the same place as his son.

But Debbie knew nothing about all this.

She thought that Curtis felt bad about her because her mom had never been around. That was all. Then the issue was the last thing on her mind. She didn't think much more about it.

When the wedding ceremony was over, Elroy, Sybil and the newlyweds took their positions, and were ready to offer some toasts.

Then Elroy sauntered over to Carlos’ table. This was the first time he and Debbie had seen each other face to face. Slippery as an eel, he remained composed when he stood in front of Debbie, as if he were simply Looking at a stranger. He even raised his glass and toasted her and Carlos cheerfully.

Debbie, on the other hand, could barely maintain her composure. After congratulating Curtis and Colleen, she lowered her head and stared at the glass of juice in her hand to hide her feelings her face was about to betray. She remained silent, Listening to them talk.

Carlos held her hand tightly.

Elroy noticed it and understood that Carlos was doing it not so much to reassure her, but to warn the older man not to think about harming

Debbie.

On the way home from the hotel, Debbie had mixed feelings.

She was happy for Curtis and Colleen, but she was still sad about her own life story.

Carlos took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

“Just sleep. When you wake up, maybe you can tackle all this fresh," he said.

She was tired, she couldn't deny that. She decided not to fight sleep.

She nodded her assent and closed her eyes in his arms.

Tabitha flew out to Alorith for Curtis’ wedding. She stayed at Esastin

Villa for two days and flew back to New York with news of Debbie's pregnancy.

When she told James, he decisively told her to tell no one else. Told her? No, he warned her.

James had to take hypertension meds three days in a row thanks to the anger caused by Debbie's pregnancy. The odd thing was, he said and did nothing about it.

Soon after the wedding, Megan paid the Garcia family a million for the injury. It was painful to her finances, but nothing compared to what

Kasie had been through.
