Caroline's face suddenly went pale, her composure cracking for a moment before she regained control. "I've told you everything I know. If you don't believe me, that's your problem."
"Maybe it is," i shot back, my frustration spilling over even showing in the way I shook my hand suddenly. "But if you're hiding anything, now is the time to come clean. We can't afford any more surprises."
Caroline's eyes narrowed, her voice sharp. "I've risked everything to help you. If you can't see that, then maybe you're the one who doesn't know who to trust."
The tension between us was thick, the air charged with unresolved conflict. Michael stepped in, his tone firm but calm. "Enough. We're all on edge, but we need to stay focused. Vanessa wants us to turn on each other, and we can't let her win."
Caroline sighed, her shoulders slumping. "You're right. I just... I need some air."
