The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1729

What Carlos further said confirmed how this person must be someone we knew or at least someone who knew us very well to know about Keenan’s private messages that he only shared with his assistant.

If I were to narrow it down to powerful people who could possess such information and who also wasn’t fond of me, I’d come up with a pretty short list.

And the person topping that was Shirley.

ALL of Carlos’ information pointed to her.

“Whoever it was, they were clever.

But not clever enough to cover their IP address, because we traced it back to the witch clan leader’s manor,” Carlos said, sounding proud of his work.

“Was this unknown person Shirley?” I predicted with a cold gaze.

“When did she become so clever?”

The plans were intricately thought of.

A reckless simpleton Like Shirley couldn’t have come up to such ideas and methods alone.

Either she had some help, or it wasn’t her.

“You’re right; Shirley isn’t clever at all,” Caleb agreed with me with a sneer.

“And that manor does not only have Shirley.

Someone else lives there, too.

”

“Are you saying it was Veronica?” I gasped, shocked at the possibility.

What could be her Veronica’s motive to set up a nobody Like me amidst her busy schedule?

I never thought of the conflict between Shirley and me as something more serious than two girls’ catfight over a boy.

That was why I never expected for the leader of the witch clan to be involved and for two people to die because of it.

The more thought I put into it, the more things became clearer to me, and the grimmer my expression grew.

Just how much of this did I not notice?

Caleb must have sensed my uneasiness because he wrapped his arms around my shoulders as if to shield me from the coldness of the truth.

“I’m sure it’s more complicated than that.

I just figured that Debbie was trying to get Andrew in it as well.

”

As if on cue, Caleb’s words made Debbie’s statement resurface in my head.

I remembered how emotional she was when she said that Andrew wasn’t deserving of being the witch clan’s deputy leader.

This was a heavy statement considering that Andrew was favored by the clan.

Veronica must’ve felt threatened by Andrew’s presence in the clan, so she planned to suppress his influence with this.

Hence, it would make sense if Veronica was behind everything!

Debra’s POV:

“Andrew had done a lot for the witch clan.

Why would Veronica do this to him?” I asked in disbelief and felt sorry for Andrew.

“Is it because Andrew did not accept Shirley’s love? Does Veronica think that Andrew is trying to escape her clutches to topple her over in the witch clan?”

I couldn’t believe it.

All of it was just outrageous to me since I knew Andrew as nothing but a carefree gentleman.

Veronica had no reason to suspect him of vying for the throne.

“It’s complicated, and every clan has its secrets,” Caleb told me in a deep, brooding voice.

“A lot of things must be unclear to you because you’re not a part of their clan.

”

I didn’t reply and just sighed.

Andrew and I were just pretending to be a couple, and I didn’t care if he hid something from me.

I should just focus on the important thing: save myself from Veronica’s attacks.

Caleb and I fell silent as we both seemed to hit a dead end once again.

It was a long time before I asked woefully, “What should we do now? We might have the IP address, but that didn’t prove anything.

We couldn’t do anything to them even if we knew about the truth.

”

I wasn’t against just anyone.

Veronica was the leader of the witch clan-I couldn’t take her lightly.

Even if I had proof, it wouldn’t be easy to bring her down.
