âDebra, I need you to be honest with me.
Was Caleb injured? I want to know the truth.
â
I was surprised to find him asking me about this.
âOf course, thatâs not true! Where did you even get such a farcical idea?â I denied it naturally.
Upon hearing my denial, Adam furrowed his brow, and faint veins pulsed on his forehead.
With a loud crash, Adam violently smashed the ashtray, its shards scattering across the room.
His voice grew increasingly ferocious as he exclaimed, âWasnât Caleb injured? Who the hell spread this lie? Both you and Janiya are treacherous bitches.
You are all obsessed with him! I can see it! You didnât even think twice about betraying me!â
As I observed Adamâs agitated response, my suspicions were confirmed

Janiya must be under Adamâs control now.
I quickly took a deep breath to relax my nerves.
Swiftly composing myself and putting on a facade of surprise, I responded, âI assure you that I did not deceive you.
It is true that
Caleb was not injured.
In fact, when I fell ill and Lost consciousness, he took diligent care of me at the hospital.
How could he have been injured?â
âReally?â
Adam looked at me cautiously.
The coldness in his eyes told that his anger had not yet subsided.
âYes! The doctors and nurses at Roz Central Hospital can attest to my statement.
I must clarify that your accusation of me betraying you due to an obsession with Caleb is completely unfounded.
I would never do such a thing.
If it were not for your explicit permission, I would have never dared to approach him.
After all, he is your esteemed guest, and
I am merely your secretary.
â
Perhaps due to my convincing demeanor, Adam began to waver in his conviction.
Narrowing his eyes with suspicion, Adam swiftly summoned the guard and instructed, âBring Janiya in.
â
Debraâs POV:
Soon, Janiya was dragged in by the security guards.
She looked like a complete mess.
Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in shambles.
She also reeked of alcohol, which made me wrinkle my nose in disgust even from a distance.
âAdam, itâs true! I poisoned Caleb!â
Janiya didnât seem to be in her right mind.
She kept mumbling, âI poisoned Caleb with the drug I stole from your place! Heâs dying!â
She looked completely mad.
Feeling wary, I took a few steps back quietly.
But her eyes soon fell on me.
