After the “taking care of strangers” incident, Caleb Milligan almost went crazy.

He was not only worried about being investigated by the police, but also afraid that everything would drag down his business secrets.

Caleb bluntly said: “I can lose everything because of your naivety.”

Ruby replied, in tears: “She needs help, I can’t turn my back.” – but Caleb threw out an icy sentence: “Helping someone is not wrong, but choosing the wrong person is doubly wrong.”

The drama reached its peak when the police came to the house to ask about the “missing woman”. Ruby panicked, Caleb lied that he had “never met anyone like that”. After the police left, Ruby understood: her husband was hiding something, and Anya was not a random victim.

One evening, Ruby opened Caleb’s file cabinet and discovered… a transportation contract with a foreign company with the symbol “KM”, which matched Anya’s necklace. She shuddered at the realization: Anya might be a witness to human trafficking.

At the end of the episode, Ruby quietly left the house, her hair blown by the wind, the streetlights dim. In the darkness, her voice choked: “If you betray me, I will let the whole Dales know the truth.”
