Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

The voice on the other end said, “No.”
Darcie frowned, feeling uneasy. "What did you tell the police?"
The voice on the other end replied calmly, "I told them the truth."
"Alijah!" Darcie couldn't suppress her anger. "Is this a time to joke?"
"I'm not joking," the voice lowered a bit. "What else could I say? You gave me this identity, so I have to follow the script. Can I say I'm Alijah, a man who has been dead for nearly 27 years? Tell me how he came back to life?"
Her voice was filled with suppressed pain and resentment, and in an instant, Darcie's face twisted in anger. "Are you blaming me?"
Alijah remained silent for a moment before saying calmly, "No, I'm not."
"Alijah, you do blame me!" Darcie's words were accusatory. "You were the one who owed the debt back then. You proposed this idea. You couldn't raise Jaylene, and you wanted her to have a better life, so you begged me to help!"
"I've given you money, haven't I? Over the years, I've transferred so much to you. You could have gone abroad for a better life, but you insisted on staying in Rivera. Without a legitimate identity, how can you face Jaylene openly?"
Alijah choked up, closing his eyes for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I'm not blaming you. I'm just tired of living in fear. I can't even take off my clothes at home or sleep deeply. When I see 'acquaintances' on the street, I have to pretend to know them well and call them brothers. Even when I'm sick, I'm afraid of doing a blood test or going to the hospital!"
He took a deep breath and continued, "I chose this life; I admit it. But now, I just want to stay by Jaylene's side and protect her. Why can't you grant me this one wish? Why did you persuade Jaylene to stay away from me? Would I harm my own daughter?"
Darcie's face turned pale with anger. "It's not about harm. You're a time bomb near Jaylene! Wenham and Jaylene have a good relationship. He likes your calligraphy and paintings. How can you ensure he won't recognize you?"
Alijah clenched his fists and said hoarsely, "You can rest assured. I can't paint or write anymore. Just based on my face, they won't recognize me."
Darcie was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"I destroyed my fingerprints, soaked them in acid, and damaged them permanently. I can't hold a pen anymore. Is that enough?"
Darcie was shocked. She hadn't expected him to go to such lengths.
Without fingerprints, as long as he didn't break the law, the police wouldn't collect blood samples casually, and no one would suspect his identity.
Darcie calmed herself, softened her tone, and said, "Why did you do that? There's no need for such extremes... I was just worried you might lose control in front of Jaylene. That's why I didn't want you too close to her. I'll discuss it with Jaylene. She needs a driver. I'll try to persuade her to let you take the job."
Darcie did not let down her guard, but she suddenly felt that having him close to Jaylene might not be a bad thing. A person who valued Jaylene's life more than his own would protect her at all costs and take responsibility for her without complaint.
Moreover, it would be easier to monitor such a time bomb if he was nearby.
Alijah was stunned and asked anxiously, "Are you serious? Are you lying to me?"
His voice trembled with excitement.

"I understand."
Before hanging up, Alijah stopped her again, "By the way, there's something
else."
Darcie asked, "What?"
Alijah replied, "I met Stella at the police station today."
