Chapter 1150: Chapter 1249

This time, it looked like Caleb and I were in big trouble.

For some reason, as I gazed at the scene before me, memories of clashes with Gale in my dreams flooded my mind.

A strong feeling warned me that tonight wouldn’t turn out well.

My hand instinctively rested on my stomach, a flurry of emotions within.

I hoped tonight would go smoothly and my baby wouldn’t get hurt.

“Debra.

” Gale’s taunt floated towards us, her voice tinged with mockery.

“Taking your time, are you scared?”

I was about to respond when my eyes landed on two figures prone on the ground.

It was Riley and Luca!

They lay motionless on the ground, their eyes shut, leaving their condition uncertain.

What transpired here?

Spotting that sight, I quickly felt something wasn’t right.

If Riley had turned against us, this scenario wouldn’t unfold this way.

Could it be…?

I stared straight at Gale, my tone void of emotion, and asked, “Gale, what’s really happening here? What did you do to Riley?”

Gale smirked coldly.

“Isn’t it evident?” Her voice was cool, betraying no emotion.

“She was instrumental in leading me to you.

”

“What do you mean?” My heart skipped a beat.

Maybe Gale thought there was no way out for us, so she spilled the beans, saying, “I figured you’d show up here after all the chaos at the Thorn Edge Pack.

Luckily, my crew captured Luca, and Riley chased after them into the forest.

We roughed up Riley but left her alive to draw you into our little game.

”

She glanced at us with scorn.

“Just as I thought, you couldn’t resist saving Riley.

I tricked her into thinking I’d harm Luca if she didn’t show up.

And guess what? She fell for it.

She thought she could fetch Luca back without a hitch, unaware we were tailing her.

Her actions led us right to you.

”

My hands balled into fists.

I got Riley all wrong, it seemed.

I thought she betrayed us, but it was just another of Gale’s tricks.

Anger flooded me, making every muscle tense with fury.

“Despicable!” Rage boiled in my eyes as I cursed.

“Gale, you’ve got no shame! You took advantage of a mother’s love and worry for her kid to come after us!”

Ivy said with frustration, “She’s far too sly! Not even Janiya or Marley could outmatch her deceit.

”
