As I wrestled with these thoughts, Luis interjected in a stern tone, “Denise, don’t let your guard down. This time, we hurt Carlos* lover. It’s highly probable that Caleb will step in to help. Keep things under wraps.”

Debra‘s PO!
“Jenifer, I’ll leave my daughter in your care.” I placed Elena’s tiny hand in Jenifer’s big palm.
After the slander accident, I slowly developed trust and affection for Jenifer, She was the only person I could trust in the Thorn Edge Pack now.

As for Caleb, Dylan was yet to recover. Caleb had to stay at the hospital, so I couldn’t count on his support for now. I just prayed that he could protect Dylan well and prevent Denise from hurting the boy.
“Don’t worry, Debra.” Jenifer was aware that I was having a challenging time after the incident in the Roz District. She eyed me with pity and assured me, “I will take good care of Elena for you, I won’t let anything happen to her.”
After pondering for a bit, I seriously added, “The situation is quite complex right now, I’m worried that Denise will do something bad. Could you please keep Elena away from Dylan for a few days? I’m scared that something might befall my daughter.”
Jenifer agreed with me and said, “I promise you that I won’t go against your wishes and let Elena meet Dylan. And if you face any troubles, you can approach me any time
“Thank you I sincerely expressed my gratitude to Jenifer.
After settling Elena down, I didn’t dare to dawdle anymore and immediately drove to the scene of the fire.
I believed I could discover some clues there. After all, this was the first crime scene.
“We received several false alarms from the Roz District a few days before the fire. That was one of the reasons we arrived late…”
As soon as I stepped out of the car, I heard the firefighter, Ian, making this statement.
I looked up and saw him standing in front of the police explaining what had happened that day. The doctor had bandaged his injured arm in a basic manner.
“You bastards!”
At that moment, Carlos suddenly came charging out of the crowd and wildly grabbed Ian’s collar.
The policemen tried to stop Carlos but were intimidated by the feral look in his eyes.
“Carlos, calm down…”
They still tried to coax him, but he interrupted them in a harsh voice, “If anyone dares to intervene today, I will kill them!”
Carlos was Caleb’s assistant and Caleb trusted him immensely. He enjoyed an influential position in the pack, At that moment, he was exceptionally fierce. The police fell into a terrified silence.
Glowering at Ian with bloodshot eyes, Carlos asked loudly, “Tell me, why didn’t you save Sally till the last second? Do you know that she was in there for half an hour? A full half an hour?”
As he spoke, his voice choked with sobs.
“Her windpipe and face have suffered burns. Do you know how harmful that is for a person? Are you a human or not?’
Ian felt helpless as he apologized.
“I’m sorry. We arrived late at the scene, The situation was very critical. We didn’t know how many people were in the new building…
“Critical? I think you weren’t serious about saving people at all!” Carlos ignored Ian’s explanation, Blue veins popped out on his forehead, He angrily grabbed Ian’s collar and boomed, “If you had reached earlier, this would have never happened
My heart clenched when I observed the tension between them.

I knew that Ian and his team had given their best efforts to save people, and I had personally witnessed it. Besides, the firefighters had arrived late for a reason. It was obvious that someone was creating trouble. The firefighters weren’t to blame at all.
However, because of Sally’s injury, Carlos’ emotions were completely out of control. He didn’t care about right and wrong. He just wanted to find someone to unload his anger on,
“You all are bastards! You all deserve to di Carlos roared and cocked his fist back, preparing to punch Ian.
Seeing that Carlos was about to hit Ian, I became anxious and shrieked, “Hurry up! Stop him!
Carlos got distracted for a second when he heard my voice, This also gave the police a chance to quickly remove Ian, who was innocent, from Carlos * Line of fire.
Carlos turned to face me. He gritted his teeth and asked, “Debra, you were also present at the scene. Why didn’t you save her?”
His eyes were red as he said between sobs, “Did you know that the first words out of Sally’s mouth, when she regained consciousness, were asking after you and Zoe? But you two abandoned her!”
