“I’LL go to the safe house to see Emily tomorrow. She needs to stay in hiding indefinitely. We can’t just abandon her.” I made up my mind and relayed my plan to Harlan.
Harlan didn’t protest. Instead, he just said, “Be careful.”
However, on the following day, just as we were about to leave the apartment, we ran into Caleb.
I was surprised. When I was about to ask him why he was here, he walked right up to Harlan. “Harlan, where were you yesterday? Why didn’t you protect Debra?”
Caleb’s eyes were full of anger, and his fists were tightly clenched. “Do you know that Colin came so close to telling Adam who she really is? Adam would’ve killed her!”
Before Harlan could defend himself, Caleb suddenly threw a punch at Harlan’s gut.
Harlan doubled over, but Caleb didn’t stop there. He kept swinging his fist at Harlan, blue veins standing out on the back of his hand. He was clearly using his full strength.
Harlan tried to retreat, but Caleb quickly caught up with him and gave Harlan a suplex on the spot.
Caught off-guard, Harlan was flung to the ground violently. It all happened so fast that I was too stunned to move.
Debra’s POV:
Fortunately, Harlan was also a seasoned fighter. After being knocked down, he quickly rolled over and jumped back to his feet. Without warning, he rushed at Caleb, teeth bared and fists clenched.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Not to be outdone, Caleb cracked his knuckles, ready to fight back. Seeing that the two of them were about have an all-out fight, I quickly stepped in between them and shouted at the top of my lungs, “Stop!”
I made sure to block Caleb from hitting Harlan again, protecting him behind me.

“Thanks for helping me yesterday, and thanks for speaking for me just now, Caleb,” I said sincerely. “But please stay out of my private life. It’s our problem, and we can solve it ourselves.”
Hearing this, Caleb Looked almost hurt, but he quickly returned to his usual roguish Look.
“I’m not interested in your business. But now, I have Colin. You’d better see him for yourself, or I can’t guarantee what will happen.”
This was clearly a threat.
Eyes wide, I looked at him incredulously. Why the fuck was this guy so hell-bent on ruining my plans?
Damn it! He hadn’t changed one bit!
Harlan shot Caleb a murderous glare and then whispered in my ear, “Just go with Caleb. Leave the rest to me.”
Gritting me teeth, I had no choice but to follow his lead.
“Fine, you want me to see Colin? Then Lead the way,” I said, my voice dripping with hostile sarcasm.
