Chapter 302: Megan\'s Future

"His name is... Carlos Huo! Haw-haw!" Before Carlos could respond, Debbie burst out laughing herself.         

Ignoring the other couple in the elevator, Carlos kissed his wife on the lips. The other young couple stared at each other, their faces red. Luckily, the elevator reached their desired floor. The two fled from the embarrassing scene as fast as they could.     

Debbie pushed Carlos away from her, panting. "Can\'t you keep your hands off me for five seconds? We\'re in public. Behave yourself!"     

"I don\'t care," Carlos answered with a raised eyebrow.     

Debbie rolled her eyes and cursed him inwardly.     

They went to Kasie\'s ward. Pausing outside the door to the ward, he asked Debbie to go inside first. He had a phone call to make. He walked a little ways down the hall, and then pulled out his phone to call Ashley.     

"Hi Ashley. I\'m putting my wife on a diet. What she eats has to be harmless to pregnant women. Redecorate the room next to my bedroom in the manor and make it a baby room. Make sure it\'s well equipped. Remember to send some nutritionists to the East City Villa. Oh, and some fashion designers..."     

Ashley realized that Debbie must be pregnant, and wrote down everything he asked for, checklist-style. "Yes, Mr. Huo. I\'ve written them down. Congratulations! You\'ll be a father soon."     

"Thank you," he answered with a laugh.     

After hanging up, he entered the ward, wearing a serious expression.     

Inside the ward, Megan was apologizing profusely to Kasie and her parents. Before Carlos had even left for the hospital, he had his people drop Megan off here.     

Kasie was now awake, and Debbie sat at her bedside. Kasie still had an incensed expression on her face. It was obvious she wasn\'t about to accept Megan\'s apology. "I told you! Quit apologizing over and over. It won\'t help. You did the crime, now do the time!" Kasie said impatiently.     

When they saw Carlos, Kasie\'s parents immediately stood up to greet him.     

Megan was about to try and argue for herself again, but Carlos gestured for her to stop. "Megan, I\'ve done everything I can for you. But that ends here. You committed a crime, and you need to own up to it. You know I\'m a man of my word."     

If his words weren\'t clear enough, his cold voice and facial expression suggested that he would not help her this time. Carlos was the invisible ruler of Y City. If he wouldn\'t help her, then no one could.     

As for Wesley, he cared for Megan as well. But he was a military officer who regarded evils as deadly foes. He would never help her escape the law.     

Brokenhearted, Megan left the hospital. Left with no choice, she called Valerie, who had already gone to New York. "Valerie..."     

She burst into tears as soon as she called Valerie\'s name, which broke the old woman\'s heart. "Megan, what happened? What\'s going on?"     

"I... I made a mistake. I hit someone... I freaked out and drove off. Uncle Carlos found out... Valerie, please help me..."     

A few minutes later, Carlos\' phone rang. It was Valerie.     

He looked at the caller ID and realized what was coming next. He left the ward and answered the phone. "Hi Grandma."     

"Think about what you\'re doing, Carlos. Megan has a bright future, but not if she goes to jail," she said anxiously.     

Carlos\' eyes darkened. "Grandma, please stay out of this. Megan made her own bed, and now she has to lie in it." A hit-and-run was no small thing, and it was stupid. If Megan hadn\'t run off, she wouldn\'t have been facing jail time. She\'d only need to apologize to the Zheng family and pay a fine.     

But she opted for the dumbest thing.     

"The sentence is at least three years! Are you that cruel?" Although Kasie didn\'t die, Megan could be facing three to seven years in prison.     

"Listen, Grandma, if she turns herself in, they\'ll probably go easy on her. But three days gone, that\'s out." This was the third day after the car accident.         

Valerie sighed helplessly and murmured, "You put Lewis behind bars, and now Megan... I\'m too old for this. Do what you want."     

Eventually, Megan surrendered herself to the police.     

She also promised to pay the Zheng family 1 million dollars for compensation. Then she had to wait for her trial to find out her sentence.     

Curtis and Colleen\'s wedding was in two days, so Damon hired an expert lawyer for Megan. He bailed her out so that she could attend the festivities.     

At East City Villa     

Carlos filled Debbie in on what was happening with Megan. She looked him in the eye and asked, "Your heart must be broken now, huh?"     

"Not really," he answered honestly as he stroked her belly with the utmost concern.     

Debbie rollled her eyes. "Not really? So you still feel sorry for her. But I don\'t give a damn about that. She deserves it. Besides, this has nothing to do with me."     

Carlos was amused and tease her, "Nothing to do with you? I seem to remember a bit of blackmail involved."     

Debbie grabbed his hand and took a bite to vent her anger. She snapped at him, "Blackmail? who would do something like that?"     

Carlos decided to play along. "You don\'t know her. But I do. I will always remember a woman threatening me with my son\'s life. I bet he\'d be interested to hear that from his dad!"     

Debbie pinched his waist hard. "Ouch! Why did you pinched me?" he retorted.     

"I pinched you. So what? You\'re so petty! Snitching on me to your son!"     

Trying his best to suppress his giggle, he came back with, "Snitch on you? No. I\'ll snitch on the woman who threatened me with my son. You don\'t know her, do you?"     

Debbie beat his chest and yelled, "So this is how you treat your son\'s mom? You jerk!"     

Carlos pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips for a long time. Then he let go of her and coaxed her, "Honey, you know I love you."     

She smiled smugly at his words. "I love you too, but I\'m still mad. Oh, one more thing." Remembering something, she straightened herself and looked him in the eyes. "Megan bullied me alot, and you turned a blind eye to it. If you let her off the hook this time, I\'ll...I\'ll cry!"     

Her threats amused Carlos. Actually, he had already made up his mind to exile Megan from Y City. Plus, he decided to not treat her as family anymore.     

"Honey, trust me. When she\'s out, I\'ll send her to A Country. She won\'t be allowed back in Y City unless it\'s a must." He decided to treat her like a stranger from now on.     

Yes, her parents had saved his life before. But he had done everything for her. Instead of feeling grateful, Megan always tried to get between him and his wife.     

Before Debbie could respond, he added, "If that\'s not enough, we can have her behind bars here in Y City. She won\'t be released until you\'re good with it."
