Chapter 166 Carlos&##x27; Cousin

The woman in the black overcoat was none other than Kasie.

Lewis was there, grabbing Kasie's arm. Portia was standing nearby with a man and a woman.

Debbie's gut feeling told her that something bad happened to Kasie. She turned to Carlos and said
anxiously, "I have to get out there. Go on ahead, Carlos. You need to get to work." She was about to
open the car door, but he stopped her.

"What's going on? Why the rush?" Carlos asked in confusion.

"I think Kasie's in trouble. I need to check on her." Anxiety was written all over her face.

"Location," he said shortly.

"What location?"

"Kasie's location."

"Oh, she's at the entrance of Alioth Building."

"Call me if you need help," Carlos nodded.

"Sure. Come home early after work."

After Debbie got out of the car, the traffic light changed to green. Carlos started the Emperor's engine.

"Call Ralph Lu," demanded Carlos.

Ralph Lu was one of Carlos' subordinates, the general manager in charge of Alioth Building.

"Yes, Mr. Huo," answered Emmett.



At the entrance of Alioth Building

Kasie was nursing a red mark on her face. She had just been slapped across the face and was about
to slap back when Lewis grabbed her wrist. "Enough! Are you done? We've been broken up for awhile,"
he thundered.

A devastated Kasie smacked a gift box against Lewis and yelled, "When did we break up? You cheater!
I've spent all day picking out this gift to celebrate your promotion. And this is how you repay me?!"

Ignoring her questions, Lewis adjusted his clothes and complained, "Quit making a fool of yourself.
Leave! Now!"

"Kasie!" a woman's voice chimed in.

They turned to look who it was. A woman in a grey overcoat was walking toward them at a hurried
pace. Her eyes swept over them as she asked, "What's going on?"

Kasie sobered up at the sight of her. "Tomboy, why are you here?"

Lewis' eyes lit up. "Hey, beautiful! We meet again."

Paying no attention to him, Debbie approached Kasie and grabbed her hands, only to see her swollen
cheek. "Just passing by. What's wrong with your face? Who hit you?"

With arms akimbo, the woman standing next to Portia said coldly, "She's a ho, and she deserved it."

Debbie looked Portia in the eye and asked, emotionless, "Did you hit her?"

With a scornful smile, Portia replied, "She seduced my fiance. She's lucky I just slapped her. I
should've stripped her clothes off and thrown her out on the street."



Debbie released Kasie and strode towards Portia. Smack! The slap was so loud that even passersby
stopped to look on.

Everyone was stunned by Debbie's sudden move, especially Lewis. He fixed his eyes upon her—his
gaze was full of desire instead of fury.

'Wow, I've never seen such a hot chick before. She must be wild in bed, ' he mused.

In stunned disbelief, Portia yelled at the top of her lungs, "Bitch! Who do you think you are? What are
you two waiting for? Tie her up!"

The man and woman then came to their senses and tried to seize Debbie. However, Portia was too
angry to remember that Debbie was a good fighter. Within seconds, it was all over. Debbie swept the
woman off her feet with a simple movement of her leg. The woman hit the ground hard, and it knocked
the wind out of her. The man advanced on our heroine. "You'll pay for that, bitch," he growled. She
didn't pay—he did. When he grabbed for her, she kicked him right between the legs. His mouth formed
an "O". Then Debbie pushed on his forehead, and he fell over. Both would-be assailants rolled back
and forth on the ground, coughing and wailing in pain.

At this moment, a man in a suit and leather shoes trotted towards them, followed by a dozen
bodyguards. The man was surprised to see Lewis here. "Mr. Lewis Huo!" he greeted.

"Ralph Lu! What are you doing here?" Lewis asked. Obviously, they knew each other.

"Emmett asked me to help Miss Debbie Nian," Ralph Lu replied honestly.

Lewis cast a meaningful glance at Debbie. 'So that's her name. She can fight! I like her even more.'

Debbie knew these guys must work for Carlos, so she told Ralph Lu, "I'm Debbie Nian. Since you're
here to help me, then beat the shit out of this scumbag!" She pointed at Lewis.



Ralph Lu was startled at the request and decided to probe further. "Miss Nian, is there some
misunderstanding between you two? This is the general manager of ZL Group's New York branch."

The general manager of ZL Group's New York branch? "And you are Carlos Huo's...?" she asked
Lewis.

Lewis' face changed dramatically at the mention of Carlos Huo. Fear could be seen in his eyes. But
soon it was replaced by hubris. "He's my cousin," he announced, proud as a peacock.

'Oh, I see. He's Carlos' cousin.

Then the middle-aged couple I met earlier must be Carlos' relatives.'

Despite Lewis' identity, Debbie didn't plan to let him go. She didn't care who he was. She had kicked
Carlos before, and she wasn't about to surrender to a scumbag like Lewis.

She turned to Ralph Lu and asked angrily, "You gonna help me or not?"

'Who is she? She's not afraid of Carlos' cousin at all, ' Ralph Lu mused. With an embarrassed smile, he
said, "Miss Nian, I think there must be some misunderstanding. How about this—"

Debbie interrupted him, "How about what? If you're not going to help, then stay out of the way!"

Ralph Lu was struck speechless. Under ordinary circumstances, he would have done as Debbie said.
After all, Emmett had told him to help her. But this was Lewis Huo.

No matter what, he couldn't afford to hit Lewis. Carlos would have his head cut off if he did that, he
feared.

"Fine. I knew I couldn't count on anyone else," Debbie said, as she took off her overcoat and handed it
to Kasie.



Her move snapped Kasie back to her senses. She grabbed Debbie's arm and tried to stop her. "Hey,
Tomboy, forget it. Let's go." Kasie pondered letting Lewis go. This might develop into something that
she couldn't handle. There were many bodyguards around, and Debbie might get hurt. A little
douchebag like Lewis just wasn't worth it.

She hated Lewis, but she didn't want to cause trouble. After all, he was Carlos' cousin. If Debbie beat
Lewis to a pulp like she wanted, Carlos might get angry, and it would end up in a big row.

Debbie tapped Kasie's forehead and snapped, "Are you kidding me? Since when did you become a
doormat? When Hayden dumped me, you wanted to beat the shit out of him for me."

Hayden had broken up with Debbie years ago. Back then, Kasie and Jared had assembled a group of
people to teach him a hard lesson.

But Debbie had stopped them.

Now, Kasie was deeply aware of Debbie's feelings back then. She released Debbie's hand and
dropped into a fighting stance. "All right. He has this coming."

With a satisfied smile, Debbie took her coat back and threw it at Ralph Lu. "Watch and learn, guys. This
is how you deal with an asshole!"

With Debbie's coat in his hands, Ralph Lu was at a loss for words. 'I'm not your slave!' he cursed
inwardly.

He was about to throw the coat back at Debbie when Kasie warned him, "You better take good care of
the coat. It's a prototype for a clothing line produced by ZL Group. You damage it, you pay for it."

The latest prototype of ZL Group?



Not until then did Debbie realize why Carlos had her wear that coat to the dinner party. No wonder
everyone there talked about clothes all the time. Debbie clenched her fists.

'Carlos Huo! You used me as your model!'

Not knowing whether Kasie was lying, Ralph Lu told one of the bodyguards, "Find out if the woman is
telling the truth."
