Chapter 1169

“Don’t worry. If the cops can’t find the murderer, I’ll turn him in. Focus on what you came here to do.

And leave everything to me.. His voice trailed off as he thought with a self-mocking smile, ‘Well, I can’t

fix everything. Carlos bailed Debbie out. I might need to call on him again.*

“Thanks a lot, Ivan. Get some sleep.”

“Sure. Good night.”

The two of them were lost in their own thoughts at that moment.

Because of the charges pending against her, Debbie found it hard to work. Several collaborators

warned her that if she didn’t get back to work, they’d terminate their contracts.

Left with no choice, Debbie had to leave the manor with a mask, a baseball cap and sunglasses so no
