“Grow a spine, and admit what you did wrong. And I don’t need you to return the CEO title to me. If I want it, I’ll take it,” Carlos said.
He hadn’t fully recovered yet, so he didn’t want to put too much pressure on himself. Not before he was ready.
James replied with trembling lips, “I know you will. And I’ll keep my end of it. But promise me, Carlos. Don’t go easy on whoever put all this together.” After a pause, he added, “Not for me, but for Hilton

James deliberately shifted the key points to the loss of the company.
He knew Carlos, and the handsbusinessman wouldn’t be so willing to help now that James had hurt his mother.
But he knew Carlos wouldn’t sit by and watch if the company was threatened.
Carlos didn’t respond but lit a cigarette. After taking a drag, he said flatly, “I see.”
James wanted to remind Carlos not to be cheated by Debbie again. He sensed the cold man had no interest in any more words, so James had no choice but to leave the general manager’s office. He didn’t want to annoy Carlos any further at this crucial time.
Left alone in the office, Carlos took out his cellphone and focused on a news article.

“Carlos has nothing to do with James’ scandal. A DNA report reveals they are not blood relatives.”

“She keeps messing with my life. I need to give her a good talking to,
* he thought .
The truth was, it was indeed Debbie who had the DNA test done. They hugged and slept a night at her bedroom last time, so it wasn’t difficult to get a few strands of his hair.
How did Debbie have access to James’ hair? The woman she hired to have sex with James, of course. After she had strands of hair from both
Carlos and James, she had the DNA tested.
So all the netizens that took James’ side three years ago abandoned him. And Debbie was able to sway them to her side, thanks to the articles the media picked up.
Even though the articles and posts were being taken down, people still kept excoriating James online. The old man himself had an affair, but still had the arrogance to make it look like Debbie had done the same.
He didn’t deserve to be Carlos’ father or the CEO of Hilton Group. More and more voices called for bouncing him out of the company.
