Hearing this, Calebâs brows furrowed.
I asked curiously, âDid Denise keep making requests afterwards?â
âActually, yes,â the guard replied with a frown.
âShe didnât make a noise, but she was so sure that youâd interrogate her personally.
She made a lot of requests, claiming that we couldnât treat her harshly or else weâd be punished.
â
My eyebrows shot up in surprise.
It turned out that Denise was smarter than she looked; even in prison, she was able to take advantage of her situation.
Previously, if she hadnât been startled so suddenly, it might have taken me a lot of effort to make her panic.
Caleb and I went to Deniseâs cell.
As expected, Denise was very calm.
When we arrived, we found her leisurely snacking on gr@pes, as though she was on a holiday.
Not in the mood to beat around the bush, I went straight to the point.
âDenise, I need answers.
What do you want in exchange for the truth?â
Denise put down the bundle of gr@pes and said unhurriedly, âIâll tell you everything, but on one condition: we have to speak alone.
Even Caleb has to leave.
Otherwise, I wonât say a word.

Caleb refused Deniseâs terms without hesitation.
Eyeing Denise coldly, he asked, âAre you just trying to get Debra alone in the room so that you can hurt her?â
Denise smiled bitterly.

âAm I so evil in your eyes, Caleb?â
Caleb held my hand and replied icily, âYes.
I would never risk putting Debra in danger, especially after everything youâve done to her.
â
Denise fell silent.
She lowered her head and stared at the floor for a moment.
When she looked up again, her eyes welled up with tears, and her expression looked particularly aggrieved.
I knew this was her usual way of doing things.
Whenever she was at a disadvantage, sheâd always pretend to be pitiful so that others would soften their hearts towards her.
But her sad expression had the opposite effect on Caleb.
âDenise, enough with the pitiful act.
Itâll only prove to me that youâre planning something.
