Zoe handcuffed Marley and was about to take her away, but Marley struggled and shouted, âNo, wait! Thereâs someone else who can bail me out!â
With her hands crossed over her chest, Zoe narrowed her eyes and said reluctantly, âFine, Iâll give you one more chance.
â
The other officers were also curious to see what kind of trick Marley would play this time around.
Ten minutes later, Carlos showed up at the station.
When our eyes met, there was a trace of embarrassment on his face.
âWhatâre you doing here, Debra?â
Seeing him here, my heart sank.
I didnât answer his question and instead questioned him coldly, âDid Caleb send you here?â
Carlos adamantly shook his head.
âNo, I came here on my own.
This has nothing to do with Caleb.
â
I sneered.
Who would believe such a stupid Lie? Did he think I was a naive child?
âStop lying to me, Carlos.
Do you really expect me to buy such a dumb lie?â I glared at him icily.
âIt seems that Caleb really is a saint,â Zoe also sneered unhappily.
Panicked, Carlos hurriedly tried to explain to us.
âYouâve misunderstood! Caleb didnât ask me to come here.
He has no feelings for
Marley, so why would he ask me to bail her out? Iâm here my own accord.
It has nothing to do with Caleb!â

Neither Zoe nor I believed a word he said.
âBased on your logic, are you saying you have feelings for her?â Zoe asked expressionlessly.
âIs that why you came here to bail her out?â
âWhat? Of course not!â Carlos immediately denied it.
Everything that came out of Carlosâ mouth was full of Loopholes, which confirmed my suspicion.
I took a deep breath and asked point-blank, âThen why did you come? Why are you helping her?â
âWellâ¦â Carlos averted his gaze awkwardly.
âI canât tell you.
â
I frowned in disappointment.
It was so obvious that he was trying to cover for Caleb.
Caleb was always like this.
As soon as I started to trust him again, heâd stab me in the heart and let me down.
