The reason why I had put so much effort and even took the risk of being detested by Jenifer was that I wanted Gwenâs punishment to serve as a warning to all the servants.
That way, at least for a while, no servant would dare to make trouble for me.
To my surprise, Jenifer, who had been watching this scene unfold in complete silence, suddenly smiled.
Only then did she notice the family necklace around my neck.
She nodded in approval and commented, âIt looks good on you.
â
Flattered, I didnât know how to respond.
Then she turned to face Denise and said flatly, âDenise, Iâll find you a doctor.
Donât leave the villa until then.
â
After that, Jenifer turned around and left.

The servants immediately dispersed, leaving only me and Carlos.
Carlos clapped his hands and exclaimed, âWonderful.
That was absolutely wonderful, Debra! I canât wait to tell Caleb everything!â
I added, âDonât forget to tell him that Iâm fine.
I can handle myself here.
He doesnât need to worry about me.

âI can see that!â Carlos shook his head and looked at me in awe.
âNo one will dare to mess with you now! But Caleb, on the other hand, isnât doing so well.
â
I felt nervous.
âWhy? Whatâs wrong?â
Carlos sighed and said, âThe relocation plan has cost much more than what we budgeted.
I think Calebâs being punished by his father now.
â
Overcome with worry, I hurriedly said, âThen take me to him now!â
Calebâs POV:
Last night, Debra suddenly contacted Carlos, asking him to send two boxes to her the next morning.
She needed them for something.
When Carlos asked about the reason, Debra refused to tell him.
Of course, Carlos told me about Debraâs odd request.
I suspected that Debra mightâve been in trouble, so I was very worried.

Could my mother have made things difficult for her? Was Debra trying to hide her plight from me?
I stayed up all night worried sick about her.
The following morning, I wanted to go with Carlos to see what was going on.
But a servant stopped me before I could leave.
The servantâs expression was serious as he reported, âYour father wants you to see him.
He needs to know the specifics about Roz Town residentsâ relocation.
â
In the end, I had no choice but to ask Carlos to see Debra first.
I followed the servant into a meeting room.
My father and other elders of the pack were already there waiting for me.
âCaleb, please explain to us why the cost of this relocation plan is so high,â my father said in a very low voice.
I could tell that he and the elders were very angry.
