Truth be told, he had reacted completely differently from what I expected.

But what was I expecting?
I was deep in thought when a hand suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked me into the fitting room forcefully.
Before I could gather my bearings, Marley slapped across the face. She didn’t spare any strength in that slap. My cheek swelled up instantly and my ear buzzed from the impact.

“Debra, you’d better watch yourself!”
Marley approached me with a vicious grin. Her hand, which had turned into a sharp claw, gently stroked my face.
“I have Adam wrapped around my finger. Even Riley couldn’t do anything to hurt me, let alone you.”
Smiling coldly, Marley warned me, saying, “You’d better stop playing games, Debra.”
Thinking about what the drunkards in the bar said yesterday, my heart sank.
At present, both Caleb and Marley were in the lead in the auction of the town. If Marley managed to take control of Adam completely, then
Roz Town would probably fall into her hands.
Marley was such a cruel woman. If Roz Town was in her hands, the residents here would definitely suffer.
No, I couldn’t Let that happen. I had to find a way to stop her.
I took a deep breath and asked as calmly as I could, “Don’t you want to see Colin alive? Have you forgotten that I still have him?”
Marley froze for a split second. But then she soon regained her composure.
“Debra, you can’t threaten me with Colin.” Marley examined her manicured nails.
“He’s always been the most useless member of the family. Because of Colin, my plans are moving so slowly. If my father hadn’t asked me to look for him, I wouldn’t have given a damn about him.”
I was bewildered.
How could Marley abandon her own brother?
On second thought, I realized that she was telling the truth. Colin likely was useless in their family’s eyes. Otherwise, they would’ve sent someone after him the moment he went missing.
It was pathetic.

Marley and Colin were born into a family that valued their own selfish gain over human life.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside.
Frowning, Marley pushed open the door of the fitting room and looked out vigilantly. “Riley, what the hell is going on?”
Riley answered, “Luna Marley, the reporters and angry residents found you again. They’ve been waiting for you at the entrance of the department store. You can’t go out now. We’re surrounded.”
