Unfortunately, she didn’t buy it. She pointed outside the window and said, “It’s that little girl, right?”
I looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw Anna buying flowers at a stall nearby. She was holding the hand of Elena. They had no idea that they were being stared at, and they went about their errands with happy smiles
I was so flustered that I subconsciously clenched my fists from underneath the table. But on the surface, I kept trying to deny it.
“Zoe, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Stop pretending, Debra. I’ve already investigated it,” Zoe said, her face expressionless. “Adam had us run background checks on all the town’s residents. I’ve found that Elena has no records here, and that she’s your daughter.”
Ny heart was banging in my chest, pumping blood into my veins so rapidly that I couldn’t think straight. Still, I knew that something bad was about to happen.
Now that she knew that Elena was my daughter, she would definitely report it to her superior sooner or Later.
And once Adam caught wind of this, everything would be over.
Not only would my and Harlan’s efforts be in vain, but a fight between

Roz Town and the Xeric Pack would inevitably break out.
“Harlan, get over here now. This is bad!” I anxiously contact Harlan through our mind Link.
Zoe rested her elbows on the table and leaned closer to me, fixing her sharp eyes on me intently.
“Well? Don’t you want to explain yourself?”
Oh, God! What should I say?
What could I say?
My mind was racing but it couldn’t come up with a reasonable explanation. Unexpectedly, before I could say anything, Zoe leaned back in her chair and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry. I won’t report it to my superior for the time being.”
“What ?”
I was stunned.
If she was so loyal to Adam, why would she choose to help me hide such a thing? Could I have misheard her?
Was I just so anxious that my ears stopped working properly?
Zoe continued to ask, “Is Harlan the father? You had a one-night stand and then got pregnant, so you were forced to stay together. Is that it?”
My mind went completely blank.
How could she have come up with such a theory?
Debra’s POV:
“What makes you think that?” I asked curiously, squinting at her cautiously.
