Chapter 72 Martin and Debbie Break Off Their Engagement
Martin firmly held her chin and forced her to look up, his voice cold. "The things you've done cannot be repaid even if you die ten times. But considering that you saved my life when we were kids, I won't hold it against you. From now on, we're even, no debts between us."
Debbie tightly grasped his hand, shaking her head excitedly. "No, Martin, I don't want us to be even. I truly love you and I'll die without you. Please, don't break off our engagement. I promise you; I'll change, start anew, and never do anything bad again."
Martin's handsome eyebrows furrowed, showing no mercy. "Your bad deeds are already ingrained in you!"
Debbie adamantly denied, "No, I'm not inherently a bad person. If I was, then
"Why did I save you back then? It was because I loved you too much, afraid of losing you. That's why I was jealous and did so many things that you hated." Martin's eyes were filled with endless coldness. "Whether it's fate or coincidence, it has nothing to do with me. You should be grateful that I once saved you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive to see the sun tomorrow. Don't appear in front of me anymore. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I won't harm you."
After saying that, Martin ignored Debbie's pale face, turned around without looking back, and left.
"Martin, listen to me..."
Debbie unwillingly reached out to grab him, but Alan stopped her.
"Miss Brown, please have some self-respect."
Watching him leave helplessly, Debbie couldn't bear this blow anymore, her body went weak, and she collapsed on the ground.
"It's all gone, everything... completely gone..."
Manda exerted all her strength to crawl to Debbie's side and attempted to touch her with her intact hand, but she was slapped away. In astonishment, Debbie forcefully pushed her to the ground.
"Get away from me! It's all because of you, all of it! There's more failure than success! If you had pushed Patricia down the stairs back then, maybe she would have died, and the following events wouldn't have happened. It's because you're useless, why didn't you kill Patricia? Why? Why?"
Debbie roared in anger, veins popping out on her neck.
Manda was stunned, staring blankly at the grotesque appearance of Debbie, unable to react for a while.
Debbie was still unwilling, unleashing all the grievances she had suffered from Patricia and Martin onto Manda: "It's all because of you. Why didn't you kill Patricia when my dad married you? Now I'm left with troubles. If it weren't for her, I would be the Miss of the Watson family. If it weren't for her, Martin wouldn't have changed his heart. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have become like this. What's wrong with me? Why does she get to have all the good things in the world, and I have nothing?"
Hearing her accusations, Manda's heart bled, her eyes unconsciously turning red.
"Debbie, I'm sorry! It's my incompetence that I couldn't give you the best, which led you to become like this."
Debbie's eyes turned crimson, like a mad beast.
"I'm not willing. What I can't have, Patricia can't have either! Even if it means death, I will bury her with me..."
Manda was startled in her heart and hurriedly asked, "What are you planning to do? Debbie, there's not just Martin in the world. If he doesn't like you, let's forget about him and Patricia. I'm afraid he might harm you."
Debbie gritted her teeth and said, "Besides Martin, I don't want anyone else. He's mine and only mine. Why does that bitch Patricia have the right to steal him from me?"
Seeing her stubbornness, Manda was at a loss and didn't know how to make her see the reality.
Debbie took out her phone and made a call.
"Hello..."
...
In the evening, news of Martin and Debbie breaking off their engagement spread like wildfire in Country Z.
Gavin was shocked.
Samuel and Martha were equally stunned.
Patricia initially thought it was a media mistake until she saw the official message on the Langley Group's Weibo account, confirming that it was indeed true.
Martin and Debbie had really called off their engagement.
For a moment, Patricia's heart was filled with mixed emotions. After Martin returned, she couldn't help but ask, "You and Debbie broke up?"
Martin responded with a faint "Hmm."
Perplexed, Patricia questioned, "Why?"
"What do you mean, why?" Martin found it amusing.
Serious, Patricia looked at him and asked, "Isn't she your beloved one? You finally had the chance to marry her, so why break up?"
"Beloved one?" Martin looked surprised.
"Everyone knows that you have always deeply loved Debbie and that she was the one you wanted to marry in this lifetime! After finally having your wish come true, why would you break up with her?"
"Haha..."
To Martin, it sounded like such a ridiculous matter, causing him to chuckle.
Frowning, Patricia asked, "What does 'ha-ha' mean?"
Why did she detect a hint of mockery?
Did she say something wrong?
Martin didn't want to explain much. Trying to avoid the heavier topic, he simply said, "Alan found out that Sophia's son had accumulated huge gambling debts. For the past two years, Debbie has been giving a large sum of money to her son every month. Sophia, in order to help her son, has been adding honey to Randy's diet, which made his asthma worse."
"It turns out it was really Debbie's instructions." Even though she had guessed this possibility, Patricia was still surprised to hear the confirmed answer.
Martin continued, "She had malicious intentions. I cannot marry a woman who schemed to harm Randy."
Patricia laughed, genuinely and happily.
"After five years, this is the first time I've felt that you're like a human being."
Martin raised an eyebrow. "Hmm?"
With a good mood, Patricia jokingly added, "I always thought you were love-struck, willing to give up anything for true love, even your own son."
Martin twisted the corners of his mouth, smiling with a coldness.
"So that's the image you have of me?"
Not only that image, but an even worse one.
Patricia dared not say it out loud, afraid of making him angry. She gave him a meaningful glance instead.
Martin clenched his teeth, wishing he could pry open her head to see what she was really thinking.
Seeing that he seemed annoyed, Randy walked over and hugged his neck, planting a kiss on his face. "Daddy, well done! I support you!"
Martin affectionately rubbed his head.
"Randy is so thoughtful. Since dad is in a good mood today, let's go out and have a nice meal!"
Excited by the idea of going out to eat, Randy's eyes lit up. He nodded and started discussing with Patricia where they should go.
Just then, Martin's phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Ryann.
Martin knew the purpose of his call, so he answered without waiting for him to speak. Ryann immediately started chatting away, "Martin, so you finally broke off the engagement with Debbie? It should have been done earlier! That woman is so fake and pretentious, she's not worthy of you. To celebrate your return to singlehood, Randy and I have booked a private room at Maple Leaf Restaurant. We won't go home until we're drunk tonight."
Martin refused, "I have plans with Patricia and Randy."
"Why don't you bring them along? After Patricia returns, we haven't all hung out together yet!"
"I..." Before Martin could finish, Ryann didn't give him a chance to speak, "If you don't come, I'll end our friendship. You figure it out!"
Martin agreed readily, "Alright, let's end the friendship then."
Ryann, on the verge of tears, pretended to cry, "Sob, Martin, how can you be so heartless? I regarded you as a brother, but you treat me like this. My heartfelt feelings have been in vain."
Martin was confused.
Ryann continued, "Martin, come on, come on... Randy and I are waiting for you. If you don't come, we'll just keep waiting."
Annoyed by Ryann's constant chatter on the phone, Martin finally agreed.
