Aliza’s smirk vanished, her expression twisting with anger. “You—!”

Before Aliza could finish, Kristopher released Omar and stepped forward. “Carrie, let it go this time,” he said, his tone calm but placating.

Carrie stared at him, her eyes narrowing. “I said he harassed me. Didn’t you hear that?” Her voice was sharp, cutting through the tension. “Or do you trust Aliza’s words more than mine?”

Kristopher avoided her gaze, his tone soft and almost coaxing, as though he were speaking to a child. “Carrie, I promise he won’t bother you again. He’s been having…”

“Heart problems recently, and I’m worried the stress of a police investigation could…”

Carrie’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “It’s because of the heart again, isn’t it?” Kristopher’s brows furrowed, but before he could respond, Carrie continued, her voice laced with sarcasm. “You’ve compromised again and again for the sake of this heart. Fine. If you care about it so much, then here’s what you need to do; since you’re sure this man here has Lisa’s heart, turn Lise over to the Orkset police. Notify them immediately. If that happens, I’ll let this go.”

Kristopher’s jaw tightened. “Carrie. I will make Lise pay the price…”

“You’ll make her pay?” Carrie interrupted, her voice rising. “What are you going to do? Send her overseas? Ban her from coming back? Is that the ‘price’ she’ll pay?” Her eyes lowered, her lashes trembling slightly, but the disappointment in her voice was unmistakable. “I don’t want vengeance, Kristopher. I just want her to be taken in for questioning and held accountable under the law.”

Kristopher exhaled heavily, his voice softer now. “My mother treats her like a substitute for Lisa. I need time… the right opportunity—” For a man who never justified himself to anyone, his patient tone now was proof of how much this moment hurt him.

But Carrie wasn’t moved. Her voice was quiet, almost emotionless. “If you can’t bear to see Lise suffer, then I’ll take matters into my own hands.” She pulled out her phone, her fingers moving to dial. “Since you won’t stand up for what’s right, make sure this man spends a few nights in a holding cell.”

“Wait!” Aliza shouted, feigning panic. She rushed forward, her hands raised in mock concern as she made to snatch the phone out of Carrie’s hand. “You can’t do that! My cousin has a weak heart! If he spends even one freezing night in a cell, he might not survive!”

As if on cue, Omar clutched his chest and crouched down, his voice weak and pitiful. “Please… stop arguing… my heart…”

Carrie, unimpressed, held her phone high above her head, keeping it out of Aliza’s reach. Using one hand to dial, she used the other to fend Aliza off. Kristopher’s gaze shifted to Omar, who was crouched on the ground, his face hidden. He couldn’t tell if the man was genuinely in pain or simply pretending.

“Carrie, stop,” Kristopher said firmly, stepping closer. Before the call could connect, he reached out, grabbed the phone, and pressed the hang-up button.

Carrie froze, stunned.
