True Love Waits novel Chapter 487

Unable to bear the smell, Niles held his nose and asked, "Carlos, what do you want?"

Carlos looked at the mahjong tiles before him and answered casually, "Just enjoy the show."

Debbie covered her nose and mouth with both her hands. It wasn't because she looked down upon beggars; it was because the stench was overbearing.

She looked at Carlos in shock. 'I thought he was a germophobe? How can he be so calm?' she thought.

Curtis and Carlos continued playing mahjong as if they didn't smell anything whereas everyone else had disgusted expressions and struggled to keep themselves from running to the bathroom to vomit.

The bodyguards led the beggars to the bedroom where Stephanie and Glenda were. After the bodyguards whispered something to them, the beggars said in unison, "No problem."

James had his back to the bedroom. He turned in an attempt to see what was going on, but his view was blocked by the wall. He turned back to Carlos and asked, "Who are they? Why bring them here?"

Carlos removed a White Dragon tile and flashed a cynical smile. "There are two women in the bedroom. It's going to be a wonderful night for the guys."

'Two women?'

James' heart skipped a beat. "What women?"

"Mmmph..." James could hear muffled sounds of two women struggling coming from within the bedroom. Their mouths were covered, so he was unable to identify who they were.

Carlos' eyes were as cold as ice. He had every intention of telling James who the women were. "Stephanie Li masqueraded as my girlfriend and bullied Debbie while I lost my memory. She even tried to drug me this evening. Her mother insulted Debbie. I need to teach them a lesson so they won't dare mess with my woman again."

Carlos had already told Debbie and Curtis that Stephanie had tried to drug him. Fortunately, Carlos had swapped his drugged glass of wine with the other glass, and consequently, Stephanie ended up falling into her own trap and drinking it.

James froze. It was not until then that he realized that the women inside the bedroom were Glenda and Stephanie. His mistress and daughter.

The blood immediately rushed to his head, and he was as red as a tomato. He banged the mahjong table with his fists and roared, "Carlos Huo, you're pushing this too far! How can you do this to them?"

Debbie felt elated when she saw how angry James had become.

Without bothering to even glance at James, Carlos said nonchalantly, "You've got high blood pressure, don't you? You really should keep calm." Then he raised his head and looked James in the eye. "Why are you so nervous? Are you going to help them?" he asked, feigning ignorance.

'Do I look like I'm nervous?' James was startled. He took a few breaths to calm himself down. 'Should I tell him everything and confront him? No, no! I can't. As long as I'm his father nominally, he can't deal with me. I still have a chance to leave this place.'

Having made up his mind, James said, "Carlos, Stephanie is a weak girl. She's innocent. How can you get people to rape her? And Glenda just said something unpleasant to Debbie. Don't you think you're going too far by doing this? Just put a stop to it!"

James' face and neck were all red, but he didn't realize that. He thought he was giving the appearance of being calm.

"They deserve this," Carlos said. Since no one was in the mood to play mahjong anymore, he began to play with Debbie's hand.

James had tried to put in a good word for the two women to save them, but it was to no avail. So he tried another tactic. "Carlos, how will you be able to live with yourself and be able to face Stephanie's father in the future? It'll affect the ZL Group's reputation significantly if this gets out."

Carlos didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Frankie, who stood by the door of the bedroom, and said, "Let them enjoy the night."

Frankie understood immediately. Nodding his head, he took a deep breath before entering the foul-smelling bedroom.
