“Clarissa, kidnapping is a felony. If you want to go to prison, just say it," Zev said with a frown, already pulling out his phone to call the police.

"What a coincidence," Clarissa replied, playing innocent. "Someone called and tipped me off. I'm just a bystander here; I heard something interesting; that's all."

She knew exactly how to dodge responsibility. Besides, she hadn't actually kidnapped Charles; it had nothing to do with her. She only passed a message along to Assad. That was all.

After all, Kelly meant more to Zev than his own life.

But Clarissa had clearly overestimated Caden.

He looked her over and let out a laugh, so much so that his stomach hurt. "Y- you're ridiculous. Trying this kind of stunt on me? You've really missed your calling. You should be running pyramid schemes."

To him, it was obvious Clarissa was trying to manipulate him. On top of that, her acting was awful.

Caden's expression darkened even more. "I've never met a woman as wicked as you. You really opened my eyes."
