Huh? What was going on?

Just as I was about to put the phone down resignedly, the call finally connected.
“Hello?” It was a man’s voice.
The next second, Harlan’s face appeared on the video call.

After a second of stunned silence, I asked, “Harlan, why do you have
Gale’s phone? Where is she? Is she okay?”
Harlan’s expression darkened. “Bad news, Debra. Gale was poisoned Last night, and she still hasn’t woken up.”
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. “What? How?”
Harlan snorted angrily. “Adam must’ve coordinated with another pack to poison her!”
“Jesus!” Riley was even more shocked than I was, so even her elegant, dignified self couldn’t help but curse.
Overhearing Riley’s voice, Harlan stiffened.
But I had already told him that Riley was on our side now, so he gradually relaxed.
He continued, “I proposed that we have Adam assassinated, but before
Gale passed out, she rejected my idea. Instead, she ordered me to stall for time. At the very least, I wasn’t supposed to let the crisis break out at the carnival.”

“Because there’1l be tons of people in town by then, right?” I mused.
“Yes. Many outsiders will be coming to the carnival. If we’re not cautious enough, we might hurt some big shot. By then, a war between the packs will be inevitable.”
After thinking for a while, I said, “But there’s a problem. If Adam decides on a buyer after comparing their offers at the carnival, the town will be in danger.”
“Then you have to find a way to buy us time, Debra.”
Speaking of this, Harlan seemed to have remembered something. He said to Riley, “Riley, can you give me and Debra a moment? I need to talk to her about something.”
“No problem.”
Riley politely gave us some space.
Debra’s POV:
When Riley was out of earshot, Harlan told me in a low voice,
“Actually, Gale wanted to offer you a second choice.”
“What choice?” I asked in confusion.
