Debra slapped him across the face, leaving half his face red. Stanley was stunned and looked at her incredulously. "You hit me?"

"As I said, if you dare disrespect me, I'll teach you a lesson," Debra said coldly.

Stanley's temper flared. "Damn you!"

Before Stanley could finish his sentence, Debra slapped him again, this time with full force, instantly swelling his face.

"Watch your mouth! I didn't wrestle with you only for Ralph's sake. Don't think I'm a pushover. Cross me again, and I will show you no mercy," she snapped.

Before she married Juan, she had been living there with them. Stanley was still young, but under Rosalie's instigation, he often secretly hindered her. He had ruined her schoolwork or stolen her things. She had never made a fuss about it. But now, she had no reason to indulge him anymore.

Stanley trembled with anger, ready to fight back. Debra shouted downstairs, "Are you all just loafing around? Bring your young master back!"

At her command, the maids hurried upstairs and urged Stanley to leave. If this reached Ralph's ears, Stanley would be in big trouble. Pointing at Debra, Stanley threatened, "You'll regret this!"

Debra sneered, "Go tell your mother to mind her own business. As long as I'm alive, she won't have a say in my affairs."

Fearful of escalating the situation, Stanley swallowed his pride for now.

Late at night, Juan called her. There was a moment of silence before he asked in a deep voice, "When are you coming back?"

"I'm staying at Ralph's house tonight, not coming home," Debra replied.

"I'll come pick you up now," Juan said.

Debra hesitated before saying, "Make it tomorrow. I need to talk to you about something."

"Now!" Juan insisted.

Debra checked the time. It was already midnight.

On the other end of the phone, Juan felt uneasy in the empty house, as if something precious was slipping away.

"Okay, come pick me up then," Debra finally compromised.

Stanley, eavesdropping outside, sneered and slipped down to the garage. Inside was the car Debra had driven earlier. Stanley cut the brake line with a pair of scissors and grinned, "Debra, may you rest in peace!"

Soon, Juan's car arrived, waking Ralph and Rosalie. Stanley came out with them, and Ralph looked unhappy.

"Juan, if you and Debra have misunderstandings, you must resolve them in time. It shouldn't have come to this," Rosalie said, fearing Debra's divorce from Juan.
