âNo,â Zoe said with a triumphant sneer.
âThis isnât over yet.
She canât leave until the owner of the bridal shop and Janiya say so.
â
As soon as she said this, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Zoe shot us one Last unhappy glance before answering the phone.
âWhat ?â
I didnât know what Zoe was told, but she suddenly looked at me and Harlan with a surprised expression.
After hanging up the phone, she said to me unwillingly, âWell, you can go now.
They said they wonât press charges.
â
âReally? What changed?â I was so shocked that I almost thought I had misheard Zoe.
Sighing exasperatedly, Zoe glared at me and snapped, âHow would I know? Maybe you just got Lucky.
â
I wanted to ask more, but Harlan stopped me.
âLetâs get out of here.
â Albeit reluctant, I gave up asking and followed him out.
Before leaving the detention room, I took one last look at Emily, who was huddled in the corner like earlier.
I felt sorry for her.
She clearly had mental problems, but she was abandoned here, pregnant, and was beaten by the police.
In a way, she reminded me of myself.
If I hadnât been taken in by the Xeric Pack, perhaps this wouldâve been my fate.
Although Emily was crazy, her words kept echoing in my mind.
It seemed that she knew some insider information.
When Harlan and I were leaving the police station, Zoe followed us and shouted, âIâLL be watching you two closely!â
Debraâs POV:
On our way, Harlan looked extremely pissed off.
âDebra, I warned you to stay away from Caleb.
Why didnât you listen to me?â he demanded furiously.
âThey almost caught us just now.
Are you trying to ruin this mission?â

It was my fault this time.
There was nothing I could say anything to defend myself.
I apologized to him as sincerely as I could.
âYouâre right, Harlan.
Iâm sorry.
This is all my fault.
I swear it wonât happen again.
â
Harlan was clearly dissatisfied, but the mission was more important than personal rifles.
We had to continue to cooperate with each other in Roz Town if we wanted to get the job done, so he stopped complaining for now.
âAnyway, the person I sent to investigate the Barton family sent over his report.
The family is business-oriented, with flourishing enterprises in various industries.
The present power holder of the family currently is Janiyaâs father, Luis Barton, Janiyaâs his only daughter and she has been in love with Caleb for many years now.
You mentioned that Caleb needs her familyâs help.
Sheâs probably using this as an opportunity to marry him.
â
When I heard this, I couldnât help but recall the scene where Caleb took Janiya away in his arms like a knight in shining armor.
It broke my heart to know that he left without even glancing at me.
Maybe Moon Goddess hated me.
Otherwise, why would she have made Caleb my mate?
Maybe my emotions were clearly shown on my face, but Harlan didnât say anything more to me.
We kept silent all the way until we arrived at our new place.
