Debbie had been to Jared's house a couple of times. Faye Ji, Jared's mother and Damon's stepmother, had been very nice to her, as she thought Debbie was Jared's girlfriend. They corrected her, and she was somewhat embarrassed by her mistake. Nonetheless, she still treated Debbie very well.
"Okay. Thank you, Uncle Jasper. Goodbye," said Debbie.
"Bye, Debbie.
" After hanging up, Debbie called Kasie. But unfortunately, her phone was off.
She sighed and then tried to contact Kristina. But before she could do that, her phone rang. It was Colleen.
"Hi, Colleen," Debbie called out in a depressed voice.
Colleen could tell that she was in low spirits. "Hey Debbie! What are you doing now? You free? How about we go out for drinks?"
This was exactly what Debbie wanted! She slapped her thigh and agreed cheerfully, "Sure. Why not?"
She was trying to find someone to hang out with when Colleen called.
"I'll book a place and send you the location on WeChat," said Colleen.
"Mm-hmm. I'll be waiting for you."
Debbie heaved a sigh of relief as she could drown her sorrows this evening.
"I thought you weren't allowed to drink," Gus said to Debbie in confusion.
Puzzled, Debbie asked in reply, "What? Who told you that?"
"Curtis. He told me your husband banned you from drinking," he answered honestly. His brother also told him that if he saw Debbie drinking, he should not only pay her tab, but also get her to a safe place so that Carlos couldn't lecture her.
Debbie was left speechless. 'Really? Ban me from drinking? Well, he might be someone else's husband soon. And he has no right to tell me what to do anymore.' She was more convinced than ever she was right about that. Carlos chose to defend Megan over her, so as far as she was concerned, they were done. Besides, she thought it was a stupid rule that she couldn't go out and drown her sorrows in alcohol. How else was she supposed to bleed off stress? Meditate?
Not knowing where else to go, Debbie asked Gus to drop her at a shopping mall.
She had originally planned to visit her aunt and uncle with Carlos. But now it seemed impossible. The stubborn girl didn't want
hat he did today? He pushed a young girl into the water. Ten-meter-deep water! That girl was Megan, Carlos' niece. See, Carlos would probably stick up for Debbie. But a prick like Jared? Hah!"
"Watch your language. Megan deserved it. She caused Tomboy's car accident," Jared retorted angrily.
Damon rolled his eyes. "You believe whatever Pepper Nian says, don't you? Megan wasn't there when she had the car accident, anyway. How could she have caused it? Come on. Pepper Nian was just jealous and tried to frame her."
Jared fumed with rage when he heard Damon. He pushed Jasper away, who was about to hit him again with the duster. Jasper staggered and fell onto the bed.
Jared grasped Damon's collar and shouted, "You said Debbie framed Megan? Don't talk about her like that!"
"Dude, I've known Megan for more than five years. She wouldn't do anything like that," said Damon angrily.
"Dammit! I've known Debbie for seven. She wouldn't do that, either." As he said this, Jared raised his arm and threw a punch towards Damon's face.
Damon was quick enough to dodge the attack. Now that Jared started a fight, he wouldn't take it lying down. He aimed a hammerfist at his brother.
Jared blocked it. Then, the brothers began to fight in earnest. Fists flew and tempers flared.
Jasper and his wife stared at the two, mouth agape. The brothers fought over girls. The funny thing was, those girls weren't even their girlfriends.
