Stepping out, Barlow couldnât shake his unease.
After a moment of contemplation, he dialed another number.
âBlair, could you do me a favor? Please send someone to protect Karina.
â
Blair Scott, an international criminal police officer, had intervened in Barlowâs life, preventing him from making a grave mistake.
This pulled him into the current predicament.
âWho is she?â
âShe is my girlfriend.
â
âAlright.
â
The following day, at $.
W.
Studio, Rosalynn noticed the dark circles under Maggieâs eyes and asked, âDid you not sleep well last night?â
Maggie shook her head, responding, âRosalynn, Sanford asked someone to investigate Jaelynâs past.
Turns out she didnât have stomach cancer five years ago.
The medical records she showed Sanford were forged.
â
Sanford eventually asked someone to investigate Jaelyn.
As expected, Jaelyn was lying.
A wry smile touched Rosalynnâs lips.
âYou should be relieved, Maggie.
Jaelynâs lies have been exposed.
â
However, a trace of unease lingered in Maggieâs eyes.
âIâm not relieved.
Sanford is too calm.
â
Rosalynn raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, âCalm?â
âYes, itâs like the eerie calm before a storm.
â Maggie couldnât shake her unease.
âRosalynn, do you think Sanford might do something extreme?â
What would Sanford do if he kept getting deceived by someone he once loved?
âAre you worried he might seek revenge on Jaelyn, even to the point of killing her?â Rosalynn asked after she understood what Maggie meant.
Maggieâs face drained of color, and her eyes filled with worry.
