When the Contract Marriage Ended, He Stayed

Chapter 58: Let the Evidence Speak

Hazel Hawthorne had no desire to hear another word from Aiden Xavier. She squeezed her eyes shut, not even wanting to look at him. The moment Aiden opened his mouth, Hazel would cover her ears. Whenever he got close, she would back away relentlessly, deliberately putting distance between them.

Soon, the wail of police sirens sounded from outside. Only then did Aiden Xavier realize Hazel Hawthorne hadn’t been joking.

Sharon Winters went to open the door for the police. Pointing at Shawn Bennett on the floor, she told them to take him away. As the victim, Hazel Hawthorne was naturally taken away by the police as well. Before she left, Hazel gave Aiden Xavier a meaningful look.

She never intended to make enemies, but some people just insisted on making things difficult for her at every turn. She wasn’t one to be pushed around. Since the other party had made the first move, they couldn’t blame her for fighting back.

Her war with Raina Lowell had officially begun.

Worried about Hazel Hawthorne, Aiden Xavier followed them to the police station.

By the time Hazel Hawthorne finished giving her statement and came out of the police station, the sky was already beginning to lighten. She rubbed her eyes, utterly exhausted after the long night.

Shawn Bennett was already in police custody. Hazel Hawthorne saw Aiden Xavier waiting at the station entrance but didn’t spare him a second glance. She walked right past him and over to Sharon Winters. Thankfully, Sharon had driven, so she could catch a ride home with her.

Just as she was about to get in the car, Aiden Xavier strode over, grabbed her by the hand, and started dragging her away.

Hazel Hawthorne struggled hard, but she was no match for his strength. Losing her balance, she fell to the ground, scraping her knee. Sharon Winters wanted to go help Hazel, but one look from Aiden Xavier made her shrink back immediately.

Seeing this, Hazel Hawthorne sneered and said sharply, "Let go of me. I can walk on my own."
