After I took the revised plan, I walked out of the meeting room without looking back.
And as expected, Janiya followed me out.
“Caleb, wait!”
Debra’s POV:
I tried to finish my work as fast as I could so that I could pay more attention to the meeting room.
Not long after the meeting started, I saw Caleb walking out of the meeting room expressionlessly, followed by Janiya, who was crying bitterly.
“I’m sorry, Caleb. I know I was wrong, okay?”
Choked with sobs, Janiya grabbed Caleb’s hand and begged him for mercy.
“Please Leave my family out of this!”
I eavesdropped on their conversation in confusion.
What on earth was going on? Did Caleb fall out with the Barton family, too?
Without so much as looking at Janiya, Caleb shook off her hands and said with icy-cold indifference, “Janiya, you’d better stop wasting your time begging me and start thinking about how to lower the cost of the plan.”
Janiya bit her lip and looked very hesitant, as though she didn’t want to give in to his thinly-veiled threat.
I was even more confused. Cost of the plan? Which plan? The selling of the town?
Caleb didn’t try to persuade Janiya. Instead, he said to her venomously, “Janiya, Adam is married. You shouldn’t be trying to destroy someone else’s marriage. This kind of behavior is Laughable.”
Janiya cried even more bitterly.
“I never wanted to become his mistress!”
“You didn’t want to? No one forced you to sleep with him. Was your Life being threatened? No?” Caleb snorted coldly and exposed her Lie without mercy. “If you really didn’t want to, you would’ve stopped what you were doing and left Roz Town.”
Janiya gritted her teeth and hissed at Caleb with resentment. “You know nothing, Caleb!”
It seemed that the negotiation wasn’t going well—and that was putting it Lightly.
As Caleb and Janiya walked farther and farther away, I couldn’t make out what they were saying, so I had to get up and chase after them in the hopes of passing by them seemingly unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, Janiya saw right through my intentions.
“Debra, what the hell are you coming here for?” Janiya stopped crying and demanded coldly.
I was prepared for such a reaction, so I didn’t panic.
I held up the documents in my hand and answered naturally, “I need to drop these documents off at the office.”
