"Mr. Gary, I've made a big mistake, and I'm ready to take full responsibility. I will not stop even if it costs me my life," Alice said after addressing the middle-aged man.
She apparently admitted her mistake. Her expression looked like she was very sorry for having done such a stupid thing.
As she continued to show remorse, the suspicions against her quickly disappeared.
The middle-aged man, Gary, tried to be gentle as he replied, "Alice, don't blame yourself too much, everyone makes mistakes. The most important thing now is for you to help us track down and collect everyone who has signed the contract."
Perhaps this man also rationalized that Alice's help was very important so he didn't want to disturb the woman's mood.
Alice nodded immediately.
"Mr. Gary, you and the HIA members can follow me and Hanna. If we move quickly, we can gather them all in no time," she said.
Hearing that, Gary immediately invited Alice to lead the way.
