Destined by One Night: The CEO's Pursuit

Chapter 60

Ch. 60 / 281 Apr 07, 2026

Debbie smiled coldly. She caught the fear in Gladys's eyes. Besides, Debbie had investigated the Warren family thoroughly.

Otherwise, Debbie wouldn't have come to this place tonight.

The Warren family had three children, namely Denise, her elder brother, and her younger brother, who was still at college. Gladys's husband was sick. The whole family could only count on the barbecue stall.

Debbie looked at her son coldly and sneered, "Jacob, if you get involved with Denise again, I will make this barbecue stall disappear tomorrow."

When Denise heard that, she couldn't help but take a few steps back.

If this barbecue stall was gone, how could their family survive?

Denise's younger brother wouldn't have had tuition fees.

Denise knew Jacob's identity. She thought that as long as she tried hard, she would be recognized by the Remington family.

Yet Denise was too naive. Those wealthy and powerful families paid attention to social status.

Denise didn't deserve the Remington family.

Both Jacob and the others in the Remington family believed that Denise didn't deserve the title of Mrs. Remington.

Denise should stop dreaming.

Denise wiped away the tears on her face, gritted her teeth, and trembled violently. Her voice choked with sobs.

Denise gazed at Jacob with a painful look on her face. After looking for a while, she reluctantly shifted her gaze to Debbie's face and smiled. "Mrs. Remington, don't worry. From now on, I will never see Jacob again. The child in my belly is indeed Jacob's. If the Remington family doesn't want it, I will have an abortion tomorrow morning."

After that, Denise took one last look at Jacob, turned around, and left resolutely.

Gladys also quickly left with her daughter.

"Denise, Denise..."

Jacob looked at Denise's back in pain. He wanted to follow her but was stopped by Debbie.

"Go back. You know, I can make the Warren family lose everything." Debbie looked at her son. Her sharp eyes stared at her son with a threatening gaze.

Jacob looked at Debbie and saw her threatening face. He had never felt that his mother was so vicious.

Jacob said in pain, "Mom, the child in Denise's belly is your grandson. How can you be so cruel? What's wrong with Denise? She is nice, although she's from a poor family. But mom, does it matter? As long as we love each other, we can be happy. Why do you have to do that?"

"Jacob, you also know that her family is poor, not worthy of the Remington family. Do you want our family to be laughed at within the upper class? They would mock us for taking the wrong woman!" Debbie would never allow such a thing to happen.

Nowadays, things were difficult for business people. Debbie's daughter-in-law had to be someone who could help with the family business.

"Mom..."

"Stop it. If you are doing this for her good, don't see her again. Otherwise, I have many methods to destroy her reputation."

Jacob was dumbfounded by Debbie's threat.

"Mom, you are simply unreasonable. I don't like those women. I like Denise." Jacob roared at Debbie.

"You are being unreasonable. The Remington family was privileged in Fielddell. If you insist on marrying her, you know the consequences. You know that well and that's why you are here to break up with Denise." Debbie said proudly, looking at her son with a sneer. Both of her sons were very outstanding, and her daughter-in-law had to be very outstanding.

If Debbie's daughter was still there, everything would be perfect.

However, Debbie could never find her daughter back.

Although Debbie had Velma, Velma was not Debbie's biological daughter. They were not close because they weren't connected by blood.

Debbie couldn't help but think of Carolyn...

Every time Debbie thought about Carolyn, her heart ached.

Debbie suddenly looked up and saw Marilyn and Roland not far away. She suddenly frowned. It seemed that Debbie could meet Marilyn almost everywhere.

Marilyn actually saw what happened tonight.

When Marilyn met Debbie's gaze, a bad feeling rose in her heart.

Marilyn had met Debbie several times when she was with Malcolm.

Debbie's daughter, Velma, would marry Malcolm.

Thus, every time Debbie saw Marilyn, Debbie was hostile.

Just as Marilyn had these thoughts in her heart, she saw Debbie walking towards her with an arrogant look on her face in her 3-inch-high stilettos.

"Mrs. Remington." Marilyn stood up and smiled politely.

Roland didn't like Debbie's style the moment he saw her. When he heard Jacob's name, he also knew who Debbie was.

Now that Jacob saw that Marilyn also knew Debbie and Debbie was walking towards Marilyn with a malicious expression, Jacob's face darkened at once.

Debbie looked at Marilyn coldly and then looked at Roland. Debbie then slowly retracted her gaze and looked at Marilyn with a mocking expression. "Ms. Chapman, you're so capable, surrounded by all kinds of men all day long. Malcolm in the morning and another in the evening."

The sarcastic and mean voice instantly filled Marilyn with humiliation and anger.

Marilyn raised her head and looked at Debbie without a trace of guilt or avoidance. Her gentle expression suddenly became cold. Marilyn said, "Mrs. Remington, please pay attention to your wording. I am just an employee of Mr. Lowe, and this is a friend I have known for many years." Her tone was indifferent and unconvinced.

When Debbie heard this, she suddenly smiled with ridicule and contempt.

"I don't care if you are his employee or if you have any other relationship with him. But you have to bear in mind that Malcolm will always be Velma's fiancé. In the future, you can stay as far away from him as you can, otherwise..." Debbie wanted to say something but stopped. She glared fiercely at Marilyn. Debbie sneered in ridicule. She turned around with a face full of warning. She left arrogantly and walked towards Jacob, who was not far away.

Roland was furious. He suddenly stood up from the stool and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Marilyn.

Marilyn felt a great pain in her heart. Debbie's mocking face and harsh voice made Marilyn's heart ache.

Marilyn felt the sting in her heart indescribable.

"Lynn, does she always bully you like this?" Roland asked angrily.

The Lowe family and the Remington family had a good relationship, and the two families were neighbors. Jacob knew that.

Marilyn shook her head. Her face looked pale. She smiled and said, "Roland, no. You also know my temper. No one can easily bully me."

"But..."

"Alright, Roland, let's go back! It's too late. We still have to work tomorrow." She quickly interrupted Roland.

However, Roland looked at Marilyn angrily and said coldly, "Lynn, I feel irritated when seeing you get bullied."

Marilyn looked at Jacob and suddenly smiled. "Roland, don't be like this. Debbie is only hostile to me because of her daughter. I will keep a certain distance from Malcolm, so she won't cause me any trouble."
