She inhaled sharply and shouted to the three surrounding her, “This is a crime!”
Debbie found a block of stone and sat on it. Squinting at Megan, she said casually, “I know my husband cares for you, but don’t forget, he cares formore. Do you think my husband would lock me up if I killed you? Worst case scenario, I still have someone else to saveLike Mr.
Loftus, Hayden…”
Of course, Debbie just brought up these two names to brag. She didn’t really think that Curtis and Hayden would get themselves in trouble for her sake, had she been locked up in jail. But Megan didn’t know that, and it was possible they might be able to pull sstrings and get her out. Of course, she might lose Carlos in the deal, and she wasn’t willing to bank on that.

“Just calm down!” she said in a shaky voice.
“Calm down?” Debbie snorted. She stood up, drew closer to her and looked into her eyes as she whispered with resentment, “When I fell into the river with my car, I was really calm. You know why? Because I felt despair. I was ready to give up and quietly waited for my last breath!”
Overwhelmed by the great fear, Megan slowly stepped backward with each word Debbie said.
“Why did I bring you here? I want you to feel the sway I did. Megan, do you want to have a talk with death?”

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.
Please, I didn’t want you to get into an accident…” ‘No. I don’t want to die now…’ she exclaimed in her mind.
“You’re sorry?” Suddenly, Debbie heard a car squeal to a halt behind her. Somebody came. If her guess was right, it should be Carlos who had cto save Megan.
And she was certain of her guess when she saw Megan shed crocodile tears again. Debbie had threatened her for a bit now, but she didn’t even shed a tear. Now, as soon as her Prince Charming came, she began to cry…

Debbie turned her head around to glance at Carlos. The sullen man stood on higher ground some distance away, glaring at her with his sharp and piercing eyes, his face serious
Emmett, worry written all over his face, also tried to persuade her.
“Tomboy, cool your jets. It’s not…” He wanted to say it wasn’t worth risking her future just to get revenge on Megan. But he swallowed his words as Carlos was right next to him. He didn’t think much of Megan, but Carlos did. And it wasn’t worth letting his boss know. His personal feelings weren’t
necessary for him to do his job, and he knew that. He also knew that he could be replaced at a moment’s whim, and he’d been on thin ice more than a few times where Carlos was concerned.
He hurriedly tagged along with Carlos, rushing towards the group.
Seeing Carlos darting towards her like an arrow flown from a bow,
Debbie got anxious. She lost her composure and glared at Megan with resentment.
“I meant what I said.”
