Carl's eyes widened in shock. "Are you saying..."

"This guy's just a scapegoat," Stewart said, his expression dark and brooding. "The real person who hurt Briony is still out there."

Carl hesitated, piecing it together. “So this person was planted by Garry? I get it now-Garry did all this to protect whoever actually targeted Ms. Kensington!"

Stewart pressed his lips into a thin line, his gaze turning cold. "Where's Rosita?”

Carl blinked, startled. "You think Ms. Lockwood is involved?"

"If I'm right, she's already left the country."

Carl quickly pulled out his phone and started dialing. Just as Stewart suspected, Rosita had flown out the same day Briony was attacked.

The truth was becoming painfully clear.

Stewart's eyes narrowed, his voice low. "Book a flight—I'm leaving for Westenmar tonight."

"Understood! I'll take care of it right away," Carl replied without hesitation.

Cedric Clarke, who'd been following the rapid exchange in confusion, finally burst out, "Why are you going to Westenmar? To find Garry?" He glanced from Carl to Stewart, totally lost.
