Andrew didn’t say a word for a long time.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    After a pause, I decided to break the silence.


    “Andrew, do you have something to tell me? If there’s anything on your mind, just say it.


    ”


    Andrew looked at me intently, then sighed and said in a low voice, “The aplice who conspired with the waiter should be in the n leader’s manor, but I haven’t identified them yet.


    ”


    I thought it might be something significant.


    Caleb had already discovered that the IP address was traced to the n leader’s manor.


    But I didn’t expect that Andrew would bring it up at this moment.


    I remained silent, only nodding slightly without any expression.


    Seeing myck of response, Andrew continued, “Earlier today, when I released the rification, I omitted the fact that the IP address of the suspicious number came from Veronica’s manor.


    ”


    He looked genuinely remorseful as he continued, “I’m sorry, Debra.


    I’m not capable enough to challenge the leader of the witch n right now, and I don’t want to fall out with her publicly and throw the entire n into turmoil.


    This is the only way I can handle this matter, and I know it’s unfair to you.


    I’m truly sorry.


    ”


    I waved my hand dismissively and replied calmly, “I understand.


    There’s no need to apologize.


    ”

    Despite my reassurance, Andrew stil


    l appeared burdened with guilt.


    He persisted, “Regardless, you’ve been through a lot because of this.


    What can I do for you? How can I make it right? I’m not asking for forgiveness, just trying to ease my conscience.


    ”


    “You really don’t need to do anything, Andrew.


    I know you’re in a tough spot, and I don’t me you,” I reassured him.


    His genuine remorse and helplessness were palpable.


    Even without his exnation, I would understand him.


    After all, he was the vice leader of the witch n.


    It was natural for him to prioritize the welfare of the entire n over me, a fake fiancee.


    I fully understood that.


    As I insisted, Andrew fell silent for a moment before speaking again, his voice tinged with resolve.


    “Debra, I will find the person who hurt you.


    Even if they are protected by the leader, I will make sure they face consequences.


    No one in the witch n can hurt you.


    ”


    I smiled faintly and replied, “You’ve already been looking out for me.


    You don’t need to trouble yourself for me.


    ”


    The expression on Andrew’s face changed visibly.


    He responded hastily, “Don’t say that, Debra.


    This is all my fault.


    I’ll identify the person who harmed you as soon as possible and ensure justice is served.


    ”


    I opened my mouth, intending to reply, but seeing his resolute expression, I decided against it.


    Andrew sighed once more, as if contemting saying something else, but stopped on a second thought.


    After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I’ll take my leave now.


    If you need anything, don’t hesitate toe to me.


    ”


    I nodded and offered a small smile.


    Once Andrew left, I headed to the kitchen and made some noodles for Caleb.


    When I brought the noodles upstairs and ced them in front of him, Caleb didn’t pick up his fork.


    Instead, he furrowed his brow and questioned, “Did it really take that long to make a bowl of noodles?”


    Debra’s POV:


    Feeling a bit sheepish, I exined, “I just ran into Andrew downstairs.


    He cleared up why he hadn’t published the IP address.


    We had a brief chat.


    ”


    Caleb’s mood seemed to darken at the mention of Andrew.


    He silently continued eating his noodles, his face clouding over.


    Whenever Andrew’s name came up, Caleb became noticeably tense.


    Luckily, he restrained himself from arguing, knowing it was not the time.
