Riley looked at me worriedly. “But I think this girl’s different. I have a feeling Adam thinks he can benefit from her. That’s why he took her home.”
Riley’s words enlightened me.
It was possible.
Adam always valued his reputation above all else. And he had cheated on his wife many times before, but he had never been so bold as to take a mistress home.
This sudden abnormality could only prove that this new lover had a powerful background.
Riley grabbed my hand and whimpered, begging me for help.
“You have to help me find that girl, Debra.”
I didn’t respond. I didn’t think this was a good idea.

“If Adam finds out about this, he won’t let you go.”
“But I’m really scared, Debra. If I don’t do anything this time, I’m afraid that this new girl will destroy my family.”
Riley looked listless. She had always been elegant, even in times of trouble. But now, she lost any semblance of calm. She was so desperate that she couldn’t stop crying.
I couldn’t bear to see her like this, so in the end, I agreed. “Fine,
I’ll help you. But Adam can’t know, or else he’ll have his guard up.”
For the first time, Riley Looked at me with a faint glimmer of hope and nodded. “Okay, I’ll do whatever you ask.”𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
After making up my mind, I slowly looked at Riley from head to toe.
Her sense of style was very unique to her. Anyone in the town could’ve easily recognized her at a glance.
If Riley went out like this, I was afraid that Adam would catch wind of what we were up to before we found anything.
“If we want to hide this from Adam, we’ll have to disguise ourselves!”
Debra’s POV:
Riley and I stepped out of the salon, our appearances completely different from before.
Riley adorned herself with a black wig and a crimson knitted hat. She donned a fluffy white blouse and a floral skirt, while her lashes curled luxuriously, accentuated by delightful makeup. The transformation was astonishing, for Riley appeared enchantingly captivating, defying any notion of being a mother to a five-year-old.
As for me, I exuded allure, my lips a vibrant shade of crimson, radiating a rosy glow. I tied up my beautiful, curly hair, unveiling my slender neck. The form-fitting purple dress elegantly embraced my figure, highlighting its grace.
Despite a slight unease lingering within me, the disguise was flawlessly executed.
Through the art of makeup and attire, Riley and I emerged as entirely distinct individuals from our former selves.
At that moment, I doubted Caleb’s ability to recognize me, even if I were to stand mere inches away from him.
