I felt both shocked and flustered.
How did he know?
“Sale of the town? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I was flustered, but I had to do my best to pretend to be calm.
I had to keep calm! As long as I kept it together for a little longer,
I could return to the Xeric Pack with Elena and live in peace. I couldn’t give up now!
“Still playing dumb, I see.”
With a cold look, Caleb took out his phone and played a video for me.
It was surveillance footage of the night I secretly took photos of the plan in Caleb’s hotel room.
My mind went completely blank. The evidence was irrefutable.
Caleb knew everything.
Oh, God! What should I do? How could I find a reasonable explanation for this?
I was so nervous that my mind went completely blank, but Caleb wasn’t done with me. He approached me step by step, asking in a low voice,
“Debra, tell me. Who sent you?”
His expression was ice-cold. “Who else wants Roz Town? Tell me!”
I couldn’t give Gale away, so I could only keep silent.
“You don’t want to tell me, is that it?”
Caleb looked at me icily, as though he had expected that I’d keep my mouth shut. Then he pointed downstairs and said, “Look.”
I followed the direction in which he pointed and saw the getaway car
Harlan had arranged for us.
My eyes went as wide as saucers.
Harlan and Elena were already in the car!
We had agreed to meet tonight. As soon as I got out of here and met up with them, we’d skip town immediately.
The plan had went smoothly up until the last step.
We were only one step away from succeeding.
