Zoe was a police officer here, and she was very loyal to Adam. If Adam was exposed to be a traitor, Harlan and Zoe would become enemies.
And if they met on the battlefield, fighting each other would be inevitable.
After piecing the puzzle together, I sighed.
At least now, both Harlan and I hoped that the problem of the town could be settled peacefully.
Later that night, when I was about to go to bed, I received a message
I opened it and found that it was from Zoe.
Angela’s Library
“Are you free this weekend, Debra?” she asked.
After thinking for a while, I replied decisively.
“Yeah. What’s up?”
My phone pinged a few seconds later. “I want to meet up with you to explain the misunderstanding earlier tonight.”
Caleb’s POV:
I wasn’t thrilled to witness Debra’s close embrace with Harlan as they departed.
Why did she place such unwavering trust in him? Wasn’t she harboring any doubts?
Zoe, the policewoman, appeared noticeably pale. Her gaze fixated on
Harlan’s and Debra’s retreating figures for an extended period. Only when they entered the apartment did she finally avert her eyes.
“Caleb, what sets me apart from Debra?” Zoe pivoted to me and posed her question.
She spoke in a serious tone, seemingly contemplating why Harlan would choose Debra instead of her.
A smile graced my lips.
This was a rather foolish question.
Primarily, there existed no logical basis for one’s affection to another, regardless of their qualities.
Secondly, it would have been more impartial for Zoe to seek opinions from others rather than asking me for an answer.
From my perspective, Debra was always unparalleled.
“For instance, I feel that Debra surpasses anyone in every aspect
In response to my reply, Zoe expressed her disbelief by rolling her eyes and retorted, “If no one can rival her, then why are you choosing to marry Janiya? What is wrong with you?”
I paid no heed to her sarcastic remark, choosing to disregard it.
