Chapter: 2241
Alick proposed, "We split up. I'll investigate Darnley. You two look for Isaac."
Willie and Forrest nodded.
Camila, however, insisted on joining them. "I'm coming."
Forrest glanced at her injured foot. "No way. We'll be looking after you all day if you're with us. Just stay home."
“I can handle myself.."
Before she could finish, Forrest cut her off, stepping back. “Walk on your own. Let's see how well you fare."
Camila, defeated, conceded, “Fine, I'll stay. Just leave quickly."
She couldn't allow herself to hinder them. A compromise was necessary.
“We'll keep you updated." With that, they were all gone.
Camila watched them leave, a heavy silence settling in.
She felt useless.
Stuck with her injury, she felt vulnerable, a burden rather than a help.
After a long moment, she slumped down by the flower pool, her gaze lost somewhere in the distance.
Meanwhile, in Starhaven...
Aldrin, acting as a spy, gathered intel on the ringleader.
He provided the police with clues to pinpoint the suspect's location.
A plan to apprehend the suspect was set in motion.
However, things went south.
The criminal possessed a keen ability for counter-surveillance.
He likely uncovered Aldrin as a police informant and swiftly took him hostage.
