i think "恐れ入ります" means "sorry" , "excuse me", but it has another meaning
"fear".which is correct in the bold sentence A:双葉さんから(コール)で聞きましにいつの間にか帰っていたと
(don't know A or B speak ): **サボタージュとは恐れ入ります**

question
grammar meaning set-phrases
恐れ入ります meaning on this sentence
「恐{おそ}れ入{い}ります」 placed at the end of a sentence as in 「～～ **とは** 恐れ入ります」
usually means " ** _I am overwhelmed that_** ~~~~~."

This is the usage in the sentence in question as well -- " ** _I am rather
overwhelmed that it was (mere) sabotage_**."

(When 「恐れ入ります」 means "I am sorry", it is almost always placed at the beginning
of the sentence as in 「恐れ入ります **が** 、～～～～」 with a 「が」.)
