After I took the revised plan, I walked out of the meeting room without looking back.
And as expected, Janiya followed me out.
âCaleb, wait!â
Debraâs POV:
I tried to finish my work as fast as I could so that I could pay more attention to the meeting room.

Not long after the meeting started, I saw Caleb walking out of the meeting room expressionlessly, followed by Janiya, who was crying bitterly.
âIâm sorry, Caleb.
I know I was wrong, okay?â
Choked with sobs, Janiya grabbed Calebâs hand and begged him for mercy.
âPlease Leave my family out of this!â
I eavesdropped on their conversation in confusion.
What on earth was going on? Did Caleb fall out with the Barton family, too?
Without so much as looking at Janiya, Caleb shook off her hands and said with icy-cold indifference, âJaniya, youâd better stop wasting your time begging me and start thinking about how to lower the cost of the plan.
â
Janiya bit her lip and looked very hesitant, as though she didnât want to give in to his thinly-veiled threat.
I was even more confused.
Cost of the plan? Which plan? The selling of the town?
Caleb didnât try to persuade Janiya.
Instead, he said to her venomously, âJaniya, Adam is married.
You shouldnât be trying to destroy someone elseâs marriage.
This kind of behavior is Laughable.
â
Janiya cried even more bitterly.
âI never wanted to become his mistress!â
âYou didnât want to? No one forced you to sleep with him.
Was your Life being threatened? No?â Caleb snorted coldly and exposed her Lie without mercy.
âIf you really didnât want to, you wouldâve stopped what you were doing and left Roz Town.
â
Janiya gritted her teeth and hissed at Caleb with resentment.
âYou know nothing, Caleb!â
It seemed that the negotiation wasnât going wellâand that was putting it Lightly.
As Caleb and Janiya walked farther and farther away, I couldnât make out what they were saying, so I had to get up and chase after them in the hopes of passing by them seemingly unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, Janiya saw right through my intentions.
âDebra, what the hell are you coming here for?â Janiya stopped crying and demanded coldly.
I was prepared for such a reaction, so I didnât panic.
I held up the documents in my hand and answered naturally, âI need to drop these documents off at the office.
