And Debraâs eyes were full of disappointment.
She turned around,
clearly unwilling to talk to me.
Riley, who had always been gentle and polite, was now extremely sarcastic with me.
âCaleb, you should go to the banquet tomorrow night, or else Luna Marley wonât be able to keep up with her little act.
â
Huh? What the hell was that supposed to mean?
I wanted to defend myself, but there was nothing I could say.
They had already made up their minds about me.
I was angry, but I couldnât vent my anger.
It was infuriating!
I couldnât take it anymore and immediately contacted Carlos through our mind link.
âCarlos, youâd better come here right now and explain why you bailed
Marley out yesterday!â
âWhat?â Carlos was stunned.
âWhy? What happened?â
I was so angry that my chest heaved.
âCanât you see? Because you bailed
Marley out for no apparent reason, everyone assumed that I was the one who sent you.
Now, Debra blames me.
Just come over and explain it to her clearly.
Otherwise, Iâll beat you to a pulp!â
Carlos exclaimed, âHow come they think it was you? Itâs true that I bailed Marley out last night, but I did it to help Sally.
â
Rubbing my temples, I was really annoyed at this point.
âThen why didnât you tell them the truth? Youâve really screwed me over, you know?â
Carlos sighed.
âI never said it was you who asked me to bail Marley out.
Last night,
when Marley was taken to the station, Riley kept Adam busy, so he couldnât go there personally.
In the end, he ordered Sally to bail
Marley out in secret.

But Sally is so timid that she couldnât bring herself to go to the police station alone, so she asked me for help.
More importantly, she asked me not to tell anyone about this.
I like her, Caleb, and I didnât want to go back on my word, so I didnât tell anyone who sent me.
But I never wouldâve thought that things would turn out like this!
At the station, when I went to bail Marley out, I even explained to
Debra that you werenât the one who sent me.
â
It suddenly dawned on me.
No wonder everyone blamed me.
