Riley and I waited at the door for a very long time.
Meanwhile, countless reporters kept calling Riley to ask her about the truth of the bamboo shedâs collapse.
Now that the news had spread all over, as the person in charge of the welcome ceremony, Riley had to hold a press conference to explain everything to the public.
Seeing that Riley was in a dilemma, I took the initiative to help her out.
âYou can deal with the reporters first.
Iâll take care of Marley.
â
âBut what if she gives you a hard time?â
Riley was well aware that I didnât get along with Marley, so she looked at me with concern.
âItâs okay.
Donât worry about me,â I said to her calmly.
âI can handle her.
In fact, maybe Iâm the only person she wants to see.
Itâll just be a waste of time for you to wait here with me.
You need to explain the situation to the reporters first.
Now, all eyes are on Roz Town.
We have to calm the people down.
â
Riley had no choice but to agree.
âFine.
Take care of yourself, Debra.
â
I nodded seriously.
âI will.
â
As I expected, as soon as Riley left, Marley allowed me to see her.
âYou can go in now,â the servant announced with a Look of amusement.

Judging from the expression on her face, I figured that Marley wouldnât let me go so easily, so I put my guard up.
When I entered the ward, I found Marley sitting in a wheelchair.
She looked at me coldly and said in a tone filled with resentment,
âDebra, itâs all your fault Iâm in the hospital.
Kneel down and apologize to me right now!â
Debraâs POV:
âIt was an accident,â I replied calmly.
âAdam just asked me to visit you to tell you that heâs sorry for your injury.
â
Marley sneered loudly.
She was a shrewd woman and it wouldnât be so easy to deceive her.
âYou know what I think? I think it wasnât an accident at all.
You hired someone to kill me in the bamboo shed, didnât you?â
Trying not to get flustered, I denied, âHowâs that possible? Even if I wanted to hurt you, itâd be way too obvious to do it this way.
It wouldnât take Long for someone to find out it was me.
â
âThen whyâd the shed suddenly collapse, hmm?â Marley questioned me aggressively.
âAnd right after I insulted you
I fell silent, thinking about the terrible power I wielded that day.
Just then, her servant came over and held out a phone.
âMaâam, itâs the
Alpha.
â
Marley glanced at me and smiled triumphantly.
The next second, she put the call on speaker.
