“Okay.” I needed to keep this job in order to fulfill my mission, so I had no choice but to obey Adam.
The following day, when I arrived at the hospital, I found Janiya at the door of a consulting room in the corridor.
“Debra? What’re you doing here?”
Janiya looked shocked to see me here, as though she was looking at a ghost. “Shouldn’t you be Locked up in the police station now? Why are you out so soon? I’m calling the police!”
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out her phone from her pocket.
It was obvious that she had no idea that I had been released from custody.
Recalling what Caleb had promised me yesterday, I felt angry again. The bastard had assured me that Janiya wouldn’t make trouble for me again, but it turned out he was just bullshitting me. He didn’t solve the problem at all.
After calling the police, Janiya narrowed her eyes at me and said, “Debra, you should know that there are consequences to seducing my man.”
The police soon arrived, and onlookers quickly gathered to watch the fun.
“Who called us?” The leading officer came over.
Janiya immediately stood out and announced, “Sir, I called the police. Please arrest this woman. Her name is Debra Clarkson. She pushed me at the bridal shop yesterday, which is why I’m in the hospital now. She was supposed to be taken to the police station, but she’s here now. She must’ve escaped!”
“Pushed you? At a bridal shop?” The police officer repeated Janiya’s words in confusion. Instead of arresting me on the spot, he frowned as though he was thinking about something. Another officer next to him whispered something in his ear, and he immediately showed an expression of enlightenment. “Oh, so you’re the Janiya who got hurt yesterda
Janiya nodded excitedly. “You heard about what happened? Good! Arrest this bitch and take her back to the station. Don’t let her escape again!”
The policeman’s expression darkened. “The incident in the bridal shop was closed last night. The shop owner received compensation from Caleb Wright. We also saw the video evidence. You weren’t pushed; you fell down by yourself. Then you called the police, framed this girl, and wasted our time. Ma’am, I’m warning you. Do something like that again and you’ll be the one we’ll be taking to the station.”
Janiya fell into stunned silence.
Seeing that the tables had turned, the onlookers began to discuss. “That woman framed her? Despicable!”
“Too bad. She Looks innocent. Who would’ve thought she’s so evil?” “People say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.”
Janiya was so embarrassed that her face turned as red as a tomato. She took a few steps back, at a loss for words.
Only then did I realize that the reason why I was released from custody was because of Caleb.
He had investigated the matter, found out the truth, paid for the shop’s damages, and cleared my name.
Debra’s POV:
In an attempt to save face, Janiya tried to salvage the situation and explained feebly, “I’m sorry I bothered you, officers. It was just a prank on my friend. Thank you for coming.”
