As soon as Riley finished speaking, many buyers in the crowd left in disappointment, but some people still chose to stay.
The guests raised their glasses and sincerely expressed their good wishes for the town.
âCheers to Roz Town and its development!â
Under the bright, colorful lights, everyone smiled happily.
I sighed inwardly.
I never thought that this banquet, which was prepared specifically for the potential buyers of the town, would be destroyed like this.
I guessed that Marley wasnât expecting that her attempts to ruin my reputation would screw up all of Adamâs plans.
She must hate me even more now.
Suddenly, joyful music started to play, filling the air with lively energy.
With the childrenâs gleeful shouts, the real carnival began.
Everyone Laughed and smiled brightly.
Luca ran to us and took Elenaâs hand excitedly.
âElena, letâs go and dance together!â
Elena hesitantly Looked to me for permission.
I nodded with a smile, saying, âGo ahead.
Just be careful not to trip over yourself.
â
Riley took this as her cue and said solemnly, âDonât worry, Debra.
IâLL keep an eye on the kids.
Elena can stay with us tonight.
â
Just as I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion, Riley winked at me and whispered in my ear, âAfter all, we wouldnât want you to neglect the most important person tonight, right?â
Stunned, I turned my head subconsciously.
Standing behind me was Caleb, and he was looking at me affectionately.
I walked up to him, blushing slightly.
We wasted too much time because of all kinds of misunderstandings.

I wanted now was to cherish him and live the rest of our lives together.
I reached out to hold his hand, but unexpectedly, he suddenly pulled me into a warm embrace.

He held me so tightly, as though he was afraid that Iâd disappear as soon as he loosened his grip.
âIs it true, Debra?â Caleb asked me in a low, hoarse voice.
âFive years ago, you went from being the daughter of the Alpha to a homeless pregnant woman because I denied ever knowing you.
Is that what happened?â
I was silent, a Lump forming in my throat.
I couldnât deny it; what he said was partly true.
In fact, I once hated him for not admitting to our relationship.
Because of his denial, Vicky had died a gruesome death.
However, after going through so much with Caleb, I gradually came to understand that it was Marley who caused all of my suffering.
