Caleb lowered his head apologetically.
âMom, Iâm sorry.
I shouldnât have contradicted you that day.
I was too rash, and I hope you can forgive me.
â
Eyeing him, Jenifer sighed and shook her head.
âItâs okay.
I understand.
â Then she looked tenderly at Elena and added meaningfully, âCaleb, I havenât seen my granddaughter in days.
I miss her very much.
Can you let Elena stay with me today? That way, you can also have some alone time with Debra.
â
Before Caleb could protest, Elena cleverly chimed in, saying, âDad, I miss Grandma, too.
Can I hang out with her?â
Caleb had no choice but to put Elena down.
As soon as her feet hit the floor, she scuffled over to Jenifer.
âWell, remember to be back before dinner,â I said with a smile,
âOkay!â Elena nodded excitedly, throwing her arms around Jeniferâs legs.
Smiling, Jenifer put a sunhat on Elenaâs head.
The two went out hand in hand.
Caleb and I headed to the living room and plopped down on the sofa.
I quickly turned to him, unable to contain my curiosity.
âHowâd your plan work so smoothly? Not even a day has passed, but all the problems have been solved.
Caleb smiled.
âThanks to Zoeâs investigative skills and Carlos * cooperation, Tina ended up confessing, But I underestimated Luis* ruthlessness.
After Tina exposed herself, he killed her on the spot in order not to involve the Barton family.
âoh, my God! Thatâs terrible!â I frowned, feeling a little uneasy.
âHeâs such a heartless person.
If he was that cruel to his own sister, how much more us?â
Caleb was unexpectedly calm.

âDonât worry, As long as weâre careful and donât let him get anything on us, weâll be fine.
â
But his comforting words didnât assuage my worries.
Instead, I thought of the day I was taken away by Jenifer from the Roz District.
âCaleb, the day your mother took me away, I saw Denise at the scene.
And she smiled at me so strangely.
I have a bad feeling about this.
â
âA bag feeling? What is it?â
âIt gave me the feeling that Tina might not have acted alone.
â
âShe did.
â Caleb firmly denied my theory.
His confidence confused me.
I couldnât help but ask, âWhat makes you so sure?â
Instead of answering my question, he fell into pensive silence.
