Otherwise, I canât guarantee what will happen to your daughter.
â
I held my phone so tightly that my fingers turned pale.
Colin was not in my hands now.
Where would I find him to exchange for my daughter?
But I couldnât let Marley know about it.
I gritted my teeth and forced myself to keep calm.
âOkay.
Iâll do it as soon as possible.
â
Marley sneered and said sarcastically, âDebra, I heard that you and
Caleb had a fight because of your daughter.
It seems that you donât love each other that much.
You canât even reach an agreement on such an important matter.

Her words were Like a sharp knife that pierced through my chest.
I felt a sharp pain in my heart.
Instead of answering her question, I pretended to be natural and changed the topic.
âMarley, Iâll take Colin to you as soon as possible.
I hope you can keep your promise.
â
âOkay, then.
Iâm looking forward to seeing you soon.
â
After saying this, Marley immediately hung up the phone.
I walked to the parking lot, got in my car, and drove straight to the police station.
However, when I arrived at the police station, I didnât see Zoe.
So I had to ask a police officer, âExcuse me, sir.
Is Zoe here today? I need to talk to her.
I have something important to tell her.
â
The police officer Looked a Little impatient at first.
But he seemed to recognize me, so his expression immediately softened.
âShe is here.
Iâll call her for you right away.
â
His reactions confused me.
Why was he so good to me all of a sudden?
And what made me feel even more strange was that everyone in the police station was secretly staring at me.
But it was not a kind of blatant stare.
They only glanced at me occasionally.

Finally, Zoe came over.
I immediately told her what I had noticed.
âZoe, why is everyone Looking at me? Theyâre weird.
â
Zoe just shrugged and replied casually, âItâs normal.
After all, everyone knew what happened at the dinner party last night.
You and
Riley have many supporters in the town now.
Most of the people here speak highly of you.
Adam is different.
Everyone here has been dissatisfied with him over these years.
They all think he doesnât deserve to rule the town.
â
What Zoe said didnât make me feel happy.
Instead, my heart tightened.
The brighter the light was, the more likely it was to be envied by darkness.
Calebâs words about the plot between Marley and Adam rang out in my ears again.
I realized he must be right.
It should be a plot when Marley forced me to take Colin to the place she told me.
