No, I couldnât let that happen! I had to solve this as soon as possible.
If I kept delaying, things might get out of my control.
So as soon as Caleb left, I snuck out.
I took a taxi to the Barton familyâs home.
This was the first time I had returned since Tinaâs death.
I took a deep breath and carefully walked in.
I was well aware that Luis was a cunning fox, unlike his simpleton of a sister, Tina.
He was very smart, and I had to be very cautious when I talked to him.
Otherwise, Iâd only become a pawn for the Barton family, like Tina.
In their lavish living room, Luis was sitting upright on the sofa and looking at me impatiently.
âWhatâs so important that you had to see me in person? I postponed a very important meeting to see you.
If I find out that youâre wasting my time, Iâll make you regret it.
â
âMr.
Barton, donât worry.
I promise you that this news wonât let you down.
â
I sat down opposite him.
âI just found out that the marriage between Debra and Caleb is a just deal.
Roz Town has some sort of medicine that could save the sick children of the Thorn Edge Pack.
Caleb agreed to marry Debra to get it.
â
âWhat?â Luis suddenly stood up and looked at me in disbelief.
âAre you sure?â
âIâm sure,â I replied firmly.
âI heard it from Debra and Caleb themselves when they were quarreling at the hospital.
I happened to be passing by when they talked about it.
â
Luis took a moment to calm down and then sat back on the sofa.
With his eyes fixed on me, he drummed his fingers on the coffee table restlessly.
Obviously, he was thinking about whether to trust me or not.
After a while, a strange light flashed in Luisâ eyes.
âYou are right about one thing: this news is indeed very important.
Iâll have my men verify the truth.
If itâs true, then youâve done well.
With this information, I can take the Thorn Edge Pack from Caleb.

Take the Thorn Edge Pack?
I was a little surprised.
Was Debra and Calebâs agreement so important?
Now, I understood why Debra was able to come to the Thorn Edge Pack so smoothly and was easily accepted by Calebâs father.
It was because of those medicinal resources from Roz Town.
If it werenât for that, she would be nothing.
When this realization dawned on me, my heart was suddenly full of hope.
Caleb might not really love Debra.
They were just together for the sake of their own selfish interests.
The so-called love Caleb displayed for Debra was probably just a show so that he could get his hands on the medicine.
If Luis could destroy everything they had built, then Iâd have a chance with Caleb.
