Karina, typically casual in her attire, especially since Barlowâs accident, had today chosen to wear stunning makeup and styled her long hair into a neat shoulder-length bob, complemented by Long tassel earrings.
The entire ensemble made her quite eye-catching, and even Jack, waiting to perform the final scene, couldnât help but be noticeably impressed.
Leaning toward Rosalynn, Karinaâs eyes twinkled as she whispered, âIâve actually stumbled upon some fantastic news.
â
âWhatâs the news?â Rosalynn probed, intrigued.
âTry not to get too excited,â Karina cautioned, then revealed, âBarlow is still alive.
â
Rosalynn had anticipated that this was the good news Karina was hinting at.
She wondered if Barlow had finally confessed it to Karina.
âYou found out?â Rosalynn raised an eyebrow.
âWait a minute, Rosalynn, why are you so calm? And why do you ask like that? Did you know about this already?â Karina looked at her suspiciously.
Rosalynn nodded and confessed, âYes, I am aware that Barlow is still alive and is currently using the alias Carlow.
â
Shocked, Karina pressed, âYou already knew? How did you find out?â
âIt was Brian who told me.
I found out just a few days before you did,â Rosalynn explained, recounting the revealing phone call between Brian and Carlow.
Karina, feeling a mix of frustration and betrayal, pinched Rosalynn.
âYou knew but didnât inform me! Am I not your best friend?â
Rosalynn chuckled softly, wrapping her arm around Karina, trying to soothe her.
âDonât be upset.
I thought it was better for him to tell you himself.
It wouldnât have felt right coming from me.
â
Karina managed a wry smile and lamented, âUnfortunately, he still hasnât confessed his identity to me.
â
A flicker of surprise crossed Rosalynnâs face.
âBarlow hasnât told you yet? Didnât he promise to confess once Aldrich was caught?â
âWell, he didnât confess his identity to me.
He probably enjoys teasing me!â Karina snorted.
Rosalynn couldnât hold back her laughter.
That man Barlow was always such a prankster.
âKarina, if he didnât tell you the truth, how did you discover that Carlow is actually Barlow?â Rosalynn asked in confusion.
Karina explained, âI always felt they were oddly similar.
Then one day, I noticed a birthmark on Carlowâs leg, the same as Barlowâs.
I grew suspicious, so I secretly took his toothbrush and performed a DNA test between him and Haleigh.
Thatâs how I confirmed it.
â
Rosalynn nodded, impressed.
With a grin, she gave Karina a thumbs up.
âYouâre brilliant.
I admire your detective skills.
