Andrews face hardened as he processed the information, his agreement apparent.
Calebs eyes narrowed, his voice thick with resolve. I wont let Shirley get away with this.
Debras POV:
In fact, I wouldnt let Shirley get away with this even without Calebs intervention.
I would not forgive someone who repeatedly framed me.
Andrew sighed. There was guilt evident in his voice. Im sorry. I didnt protect you well and put you in such a dangerous situation.

It wasnt Andrews fault. He was a victim too.
I smiled helplessly. As I was about to respond, Caleb sneered, Its good that you recognize this. If youre not capable, you should step back and keep your distance from Debra to prevent her from being implicated by you.
Andrews expression changed, showing a mix of embarrassment and selfblame.
I gave Caleb a stern look, signaling him to hold back.
Caleb pursed his lips, clearly unhappy, but he refrained from saying more.

Afterwards, I turned to Andrew and sighed. Andrew, I didnt mean to blame you. You have taken good care of me, and I am very grateful for that.
Andrew pursed his lips, his eyes reflecting a complex mixture of emotions.
The room fell silent for a moment. Andrew stated, It was all my fault. If I had been more vigilant, you wouldnt have faced this danger. Im really sorry, Debra.
I shook my head and reassured Andrew, Its not your fault, but the people around you arent reliable. You need to be more cautious.
The waiter who had died was from Andrews manor, but he had been easily bribed by Keenan. Without strict oversight of his servants, such incidents could Likely recur.
Andrew seemed to understand the gravity of the situation. He nodded and responded, I know. Ill be more vigilant from now on.
As he spoke, he cast a silent glance towards Caleb, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
The two exchanged a cold look. Neither of them uttered a single word.
Concerned that a conflict might arise between them, I quickly changed the topic. We need to address the current issue first.
Andrew agreed and wanted to leave. First, Ill investigate what really happened to Keenan. Debra, please take care of yourself.
With that, he turned and went on his way.
After Andrew left, Caleb pondered for a moment and then spoke up.
Ive started to suspect something is amiss with Shirley and Debbie Ill investigate further to prove your innocence as soon as possible.
