âYou mean you want to use trickery to extract her confession?â Debra asked in surprise.
âYes.
â I confirmed, explaining my suspicions.
âDebra, I suspect Tina set you up.
She caused trouble for you at the dinner party to avenge Janiya.
After Jaylaâs accident, James confronted Tina at the Barton family.
He ended up withdrawing several of his investments with them.
My hunch is that Jaylaâs murder was orchestrated by Tina.
â
âSo let me get this straight.
Youâre going to bring someone who will pose as the prison guard to the Barton familyâs house to test Tina?â
âYes.
â
Unexpectedly, Debra approved of my plan immediately.
âOkay, letâs do it! When dealing with the bad guys, you donât have to be overly reasonable.
â
She also suggested, âCaleb, why not have Carlos disguise himself as the prison guard? That way, if anything goes awry, heâll be able to handle it effortlessly.
â
Hearing this, I was a little surprised.
Debra used to hate Carlos, so her trust in him came as a surprise to me.
But nevertheless, I was glad that the two were finally getting along, and her suggestion was a good idea.
I smiled and said, âOkay.
â The following morning, Zoe and I visited Carlos and presented our plan.
âYou want me to pretend to be a prison guard?â
Carlos expressed reluctance upon hearing our request.
But after pondering it for a while, he reluctantly agreed.
âFine, Iâll do it for Debra.

We proceeded to meticulously dress Carlos up.
Apart from his appearance, we had to mask his scent as well.
So we doused him in animal blood.
Not only did this mask his smell, but it also added authenticity to his disguise.
When we were done, he looked as though he had been tortured beyond belief.
Initially, I anticipated that it would be challenging to glean information from Tina, However, to my surprise, Tina was so frantic that she didnât even suspect the prison guardâs identity.
Furthermore, Luis refused to speak in her defense, leading to a successful confession.
When he learned the truth, Luis shouted angrily, âCaleb, you must be out of your mind! You tricked us!â
I, on the other hand, was very calm, âLuis, Tina confessed.
Besides, the charade would have been useless if she hadnât sent the prison guard to kill Jayla.
â
Luisâs expression darkened, and there was nothing more he could say.
âLuis, Iâm sorry, I know I was wrong!â Tina cried desperately.
âI did it all to seek justice for Janiya, Please help me
Tears streamed down her face, smudging her delicate makeup.
âJaniya has suffered since she was a child.
Losing her mother early, she was raised by me.
I couldnât bear to see her become unhinged while the person who harmed her lived freely.
My love for Janiya made me lose my mindâ¦â
