Could he be a cop?
“I wanted to be a cop, but I have a criminal record.” A glimmer of regret danced in his eyes.
“So, are you a police informant?” Rosalynn probed further.
He responded with a long gulp of wine and a pregnant silence.
A tacit affirmation on Rosalynn’s suspicions.

This revelation cast a new Light on Barlow.
“Rosalynn, advise Karina to keep a distance from Kennedi but do not reveal the truth to her. If Karina

His gaze became contemplative, the red wine in his glass spinning leisurely in response to his
thoughtful stir.
Rosalynn’s eyes flicked to Barlow, a glimmer of understanding lighting up her gaze. “Do you have

The memory of his bitter words at the hospital rushed back. She remembered how he had aimed
arrows of insult at Karina with unwarranted precision right after Kennedi appeared.
Now, the motive behind his stinging actions dawned on her.
He had stirred the pot, intentionally kindling Karina’s anger to push her away.

first place?”
Her initial assumption was a revenge plot against Brian, but now, knowing his true character, that
seemed Less Likely.
