Had she been putting up an act?
It didnât add up.
Sally was just an ordinary person.
Why would she go through the trouble of pretending to be so hurt?
Something had to be amiss.
I turned and headed back to the villa, keeping an eye out.
A Little while later, Debra and Caleb emerged, with Debraâs father, Eduardo, in tow.
Eduardo soon began playing with Debraâs daughter, but Caleb and Debra stuck together like glue, making it impossible for me to have a private chat with Caleb.
So, I had no choice but to depart.
I strolled along the road, mulling over the recent events.
There must be something wrong, but I couldnât piece it together.
Determined, I headed to the Barton familyâs residence, hoping to confide in Luis.
He had experience and knowledge; perhaps he could shed light on the situation.
However, upon arriving at Bartonâs home, I overheard shouting from the living room, accompanied by the occasional crash of breaking glass.
The servants exchanged nervous glances and remained frozen outside the door, too frightened to enter.
What happened?
I seized one of the servants by the shoulder and asked, âWhereâs Mr.
Barton?â
The servant stayed silent, merely gesturing nervously towards the living room.
Carefully, I pushed open the door and found Luis sprawled on the sofa, drowning in drink.
Clutching a glass of wine, he was completely inebriated.
His eyes were ablaze with anger as he continued to spew curses.
Before I could draw near, he downed a mouthful and yelled, âGet Out!â
He hurled the glass at me with full force.
Thankfully, I had anticipated his rage and dodged just in time, narrowly avoiding the glass.
Biting back my irritation, I asked gently, âMr.
Barton, who offended you? Why are you so angry?â

Upon recognizing me, Luis ceased his glass-throwing, yet his face was still twisted into an ugly, bitter expression.
He shouted, âItâs all Eduardoâs fault! He wrecked everything in Silver Ridge Pack, claiming it was for his daughter.
The Barton familyâs fate means nothing to him.
â
I stood frozen, utterly shocked.
No wonder Luis was seething.
He used to be as sly as an old fox, never revealing his emotions so easily.
But lately, the Barton familyâs business had taken a severe hit, hanging by a thread.
Now, their ventures in the Silver Ridge Pack were in ruins.
Debraâs father seemed determined to leave them no way out.
What surprised me most was how quickly Debra and her father had made amends.
This meant the Silver Ridge Pack would undoubtedly support her in the future.
