Chapter 80: Why Would She Do This?

In the hotel’s presidential suite, Aiden and Holly sat on separate sofas with their arms crossed, staring intently at Hazel. The setup felt like a formal interrogation. Hazel touched her nose and smiled, trying to ease the heavy atmosphere.

The moment she smiled, Aiden’s expression grew stern. So, she dropped the smile and became serious.

"I really was taken. But the strange thing is, the person who abducted me didn’t do anything to me."

Aiden shot her a cold look. "They didn’t do anything to you?"

Hazel bristled at his words. "Were you hoping they would do something to me?" Aiden’s gaze, sharp as a dagger, shot toward her again. But then she remembered he had rushed all the way here so late at night, and she decided to let it go.

"I was abducted from a taxi. When I woke up, I was in a hotel room. This man came in, just stared at me, then took a phone call and let me go. Until he released me, I was sure he was going to do something to me."

"I don’t even know why he took me. Do you?" Hazel looked at Aiden. "Aren’t you supposed to be so resourceful? If you had people following me, why didn’t they show up to save me the second I was in danger?"

Aiden glanced at Hazel, his face impassive. "I didn’t have anyone following you."

"Oh, really? Then how do you always know my every move?" Hazel waved her hand dismissively. "But that’s not important right now. What I really want to know is why that man did this."

Raina’s words suddenly echoed in Aiden’s mind. ’What if you get there and find out Hazel was never missing? Will you still trust her so much?’ Looking at the perfectly unharmed Hazel before him, Aiden inexplicably connected the incident to Raina.

"Aiden, you’re the smart one, aren’t you? Why don’t you analyze it?"

Aiden sneered.
