âWhatâs wrong?â I asked with concern, rubbing his back.
Ny intuition told me that he was hiding something from me.
âNothing.
â Caleb shrugged it off.
âDenise is a timid person.
Sheâd never have the guts to do something so daring.
At most, sheâd only beat Janiya in secret to vent her anger, but thatâs it.
â
Hy eyes flashed in surprise.
âCaleb, are you actually defending Denise?â
After a short silence, he admitted, âSort of.
I guess I just donât want Dylan to have such a bad mother, The kid has enough problems.
â
Thinking of that poor, fragile child, I fell silent.
It was truly a pity to have such a mother.
I only hoped that Dylan wouldnât be influenced by his mother.
Debraâs PO!
The following day, after sending Elena to the kindergarten, Caleb and I went to the Roz District to give the residents of Roz Town an explanation for what had been happening these past few days.
As soon as the residents saw that I was fine, they surrounded me and Caleb with joy written all over their faces.
âDebra, weâre so glad youâre okay!â

âWe know youâre a good person.
We knew youâd never kill anyone!â
Smiling, I responded to and thanked them one by one.
Just then, I noticed that Zoe was leaning against the guardrail by the roadside, looking at us lazily with a faint smile.
I weaved through the crowd and quickly walked to her.
âThanks for your help, Zoe.
â I sincerely expressed my gratitude to her.
âThanks to you, things went so smoothly.

Zoe shook her head, âNo need to thank me.
I was just doing my duty as a police officer.
Unfortunately for you, the Thorn Edge Packâs law enforcement canât do their job.
Theyâre not as good as us, or the problem wouldnât have been solved so quickly.
â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â Caleb asked unhappily.
âThe reason why our plan succeeded so smoothly was that Iâm such a good actor.
If it werenât for me, the police of Roz Town couldnât have done anything.
â Eyebrows raised, Zoe asked with amusement, âA good actor, you say?â
âOf course!â
Nodding her head casually, Zoe continued sarcastically, âIf you think that screaming like a banshee in the Barton familyâs house is good acting, then youâd win an award for Best Actor.
After all, no one in the world is better at howling than you.
I got goose bumps when I heard it.
â
âZoe!â Carlos sighed helplessly.
