I hadn’t touched this plan before. Previously, Janiya stated that she had dispatched someone to deliver the plan to my room. Logically, no one should have opened the file, except for Carlos, as he was the one responsible for its delivery.
But Carlos just said that he didn’t touch it, so who could have opened it?
Could it be…
“What’s wrong?” Carlos wondered.
“Is there anything wrong with this plan?”
I didn’t say anything. I just turned on the computer with a cold face.
A ridiculous yet reasonable answer came to my mind. But I still wanted to confirm it.
Maybe… Maybe I was wrong?
I took a deep breath and found the surveillance video of the room on the computer.
A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y
In the video, Debra was reading the plan and even took out her mobile phone to take photos of it.
“What is she doing?” As we watched the surveillance video, Carlos’ expression grew more and more solemn.
“Is this the reason why she approached you?”
Ny heart sank.
It turned out that the reason why she approached me was to get the secret of the town.
She had never loved me.
Debra’s POV:
As the sun crept upwards in the horizon, Harlan said to me, “Debra, we need to leave tonight. Don’t be late, okay? The getaway car will leave on the dot.”
I nodded absentmindedly. “Got it.”
Ivy, on the other hand, remained silent the whole time. It wasn’t until she noticed that I was also very depressed that she asked hesitantly,
“Are you going to Leave without telling Caleb anything? Honey, aren’t you scared that you’ll regret this?”
“Ivy, what can I say to him?” I asked helplessly, my heart full of bitterness. “Do you want me to tell him that I used him to get proof that Adam was trying to sell the town? And that I’m skipping town tonight so that I won’t get caught?”
Ivy sighed. “As long as you explain everything to him, I’m sure he’ll understand—”
“Stop dreaming, Ivy,” I interrupted her harshly, knowing that she needed to face reality.
“Can’t you see? He wants to buy the town so badly. If he found out that I was working for Gale this whole time, he’d never let me and Harlan report back to the Xeric Pack.”
My words seemed to have finally convinced Ivy because she didn’t say anything more.
