Ian’s words made me frown,

This was more than just a prank-it was a premeditated act of arson.

The masterminds had cleverly duped the nearby fire department, creating a situation where the residents of Roz Town couldn’t receive the vital assistance they needed in time-an awful manipulation that led to this.

Realizing this, Zoe erupted in anger, her voice dripping with fury as she spat, “How could they? Sneaky, conniving bastards! If I lay hands on them, they won’t have heads left to cut off!”

She was seething, her anger palpable.

Panic welled up within me, almost driving me to my feet.

Ian, too, seemed rattled.

Hastily, he reached out, gently brushing Zoe’s nose before letting out a relieved breath.

“She’s okay.

“Caleb, why didn’t you answer when I called you just now?”

Caleb offered an apology.

“I’m sorry.

An emergency came up, and I couldn’t break free in time.

“What happened?” I scrutinized him, only to spot a lipstick mark on his collar.

My face turned cold immediately.

Caleb’s silence was all the confirmation I needed.

Fuming, I confronted him, “Caleb, there was a fire at the new building just now.

Roz Town’s residents and I were in danger.

Where were you and what were you doing?”

“Debra, please don’t blame Caleb.

A familiar and annoying voice interrupted us.

I turned around to see Denise coming out from the corner and walking to us.

She had an embarrassed look on her face as she explained in a soft voice, “I missed Dylan so much that I went to see the kid secretly.

I didn’t expect to run into Caleb.
