Tina gritted her teeth and spat, âYou donât know how much the Barton family has suffered as a result.
James found out that Jayla was in communication with the Barton family before the incident at the gym.
He just had a big quarrel with me and withdrew a few investments!â
My heart skipped a beat at this piece of news.
I asked nervously, âDid
Jayla tell Patrick that it was us who instigate her?â
âOf course not,â replied Tina crossly.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
âThe Barton family is powerful.
Several lost investments isnât that big a deal, right?â
Tina looked at me as though I was an idiot.
âYou know nothing.
Many of my familyâs businesses have been closed down by the former Alpha, and now, we couldnât afford any mistakes.
James was humiliated, so now heâs now venting his anger on the Barton family!â
I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes in front of Tina.
Truth be told, I didnât give a damn about the Barton familyâs businesses.
I was more worried about Jayla, since she could implicate us.
âI just donât understand.
Why didnât Jayla tell on us?â I asked.
I doubted Jayla was righteous enough to protect us.
Tina sneered, âItâs not that she doesnât want to, but that she canât.
Caleb barred the Lee family from visiting her in prison, so she hasnât had the chance to tell her family that we were the ones who instigated her.
Iâve also asked the prison guard to warn Jayla not to speak the truth.
Otherwise, sheâll die a miserable death.
â
I suddenly felt enlightened.
âSo Jaylaâs not a threat for now?â
However, Tina showed a strange expression.
âIâm not sure.
She seems to have gone crazy.
The prison guard said that sheâs been demanding to see
Debra and Caleb.
She wants to talk to them face to face.
â
âWhat? Why?â
Tina shook her head, looking a little uneasy.

âNo idea.
But I think we have to get rid of Jayla now before she tells on us.
The Barton family canât afford yet another scandal.
Even if she doesnât tell on us now, sheâs still a ticking time bomb.
â
At this, I was a little hesitant.
I knew that Tina was itching to have Jayla assassinated.
But in my eyes, it would be such a pity to lose a tool like Jayla.
I thought for a while and said, ââJaylaâs crime is all over the news.
If she dies mysteriously, theyâll suspect she was murdered, and if they trace the murder back to usâ¦â
âThen what do you think we should do?â Tina snapped unhappily.
I didnât answer immediately but fell into deep thought.
Indeed, what should we do?
Suddenly, a thought occurred to me!
