Chapter 57: The Truth of the Matter

"Where are you right now? Can you come back immediately? I have something important to tell you." Hazel Hawthorne’s face was ashen as she stared at the man fidgeting on the sofa—the man who had appeared in her nightmares countless times.

Now, he was right here before her, so clearly. Although he was already a broken man, the thorn buried in Hazel Hawthorne’s heart could never be removed.

Sharon Winters had no idea what this man had done to Hazel Hawthorne. She had only bravely stepped forward when Hazel caught him, helping her subdue the man before bringing him back to Hazel’s villa.

She stared at Hazel Hawthorne with a look of confusion. She watched Hazel pace back and forth in the living room, her face ashen, seemingly suppressing immense rage. She had also heard Hazel on the phone, telling Aiden Xavier to come back. As an outsider, Sharon Winters felt a fleeting desire to leave.

Although she was Hazel Hawthorne’s friend, she knew it was best for outsiders not to get involved in a married couple’s affairs. Couples fight and make up, and there was nothing an outsider could do.

After a long while, just as Sharon Winters was about to tell Hazel Hawthorne she was leaving, Aiden Xavier walked in.

Aiden Xavier had rushed back, looking harried. He had heard the anxiety in Hazel Hawthorne’s voice over the phone and thought she was in some kind of danger, so he had driven back in a frantic hurry.

He didn’t even have time to tend to Raina Lowell.

The moment Aiden Xavier walked in and saw Shawn Bennett on the sofa, he was momentarily stunned but quickly recovered. As soon as he approached Shawn Bennett, the man immediately lowered his head, not daring to look Aiden Xavier in the eye. The visceral fear was plain to see on his face.
