Jesus Christ! I would’ve preferred to take my own life than apologize to Debra.
When I approached Debra, I said in a low voice that only she could hear, “You’ll pay for this.”
However, she didn’t seem to give a damn. “I’ll wait.”
Her attitude pissed me off.
What did she take me for? She clearly didn’t take me seriously. Or did she think that Caleb would always protect her?
I sneered and clenched my fists angrily.
Either way, I’d make her regret being arrogant with me today.
Since there were so many people around, I couldn’t do anything to her just yet. I could only temporarily suppress my anger and leave.
As soon as I left the mayor’s office, my father called.
“Janiya, don’t worry. Although most of our companies are still closed down, I’ve appealed to Caleb’s father for help. There might still be hope for us yet.”
His words made me want to cry.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
My family’s businesses had been affected because of me, but my father didn’t blame me. On the contrary, he tried to comfort me.
I swallowed the Lump in my throat, feeling so guilty.
Ever since I came to Roz Town, nothing but misfortune befell me. Not only did I fail to become Caleb’s Luna, but I also caused my father so much trouble. I was so useless.
Wrought with guilt, I tearfully apologized to my father. “I’m sorry for everything. This is all my fault. I lost to Debra, and now we’re stuck in this situation.”
My father comforted me in a soft voice, “It’s okay. Don’t beat yourself up. That woman is too insidious; of course, you couldn’t fight her.”
“I hate her, Dad! I hate Caleb too!” I sobbed. “I hate seeing them Live together happily right in front of me.”
My father’s voice turned cold. “This is all Debra’s fault. We can’t let her go!”
My expression darkened. “Don’t worry. I have a plan.”
After hanging up, I headed to a remote street corner and met up with a man. He was wearing a peaked cap over his ugly face. Although he looked obscene, he was very muscled and clearly very strong.
I had paid a fortune to get him to come here. He was expensive, but I heard that he was good at what he did.
As soon as I approached, I took out photos of Harlan and Elena.
“Have these two people killed, and make it look like an accident.”
The man looked at the photos and suddenly frowned.
“Okay, but I’ll have to raise the price.”
