Owen frowned. "You seriously believe those baseless rumors?"
Emma looked troubled. "Sorry, I messed up."
She hadn't believed the rumors or said anything bad about Aria. She'd just instinctively trusted Hannah's judgment, thinking that as a team leader at Kerano Global Health, her recommendation had to be reliable.
James glared at him. "Owen, don't talk to your mother like that."
Owen stayed quiet, grabbed two large bags of beauty creams, and walked out.
The Saxon family dismissed the rumors outright, refusing to believe them.
Logan wasted no time and ordered his team to disrupt the Cole Group's business and warned Daniel that if they targeted Aria again, there would be no holding back.
Daniel called to berate Cole, who was still hiding out in his apartment. The slap mark on his face was too obvious, and he didn't want to show up at the office.
Now, with Daniel scolding him, his anger boiled over. "Aria, you want to play dirty? Fine, don't blame me for hitting back!"
He called his assistant. "Find out which hospital Henry is at."
The private investigator hadn't uncovered much, but it was enough to confirm that Aria had been sold and had crippled Henry's leg.
She and Hannah each pitched 150 thousand dollars. Since Henry needed treatment for his leg, the hospital would be the first place he'd go.
Mandino City Police Station.
A middle-aged man, disheveled and covered in bruises, dragged his injured leg to the entrance of the police station. The moment he reached the door, he collapsed onto the ground.
He struggled to move his cracked lips and managed to croak out, "Help... Help me."
The officer on duty saw him and immediately rushed out to help him up.
Henry tried to speak but couldn't get a word out. The officers gave him water and some food to help him recover.
After a long while, he finally regained some strength and broke down in tears. "Someone's trying to kill me!" he said.
"Who's trying to kill you?" one officer asked urgently.
"Caleb Saxon! He's out for revenge because I hurt his sister!"
The officer froze, nearly spilling the water in his hand. He quickly turned to his colleague. "Go get Captain Fletcher, now!"
In the Saxon Group.
Caleb was in his office, calmly handling work.
Jeffrey went in hurriedly and said, "Boss! Henry's at the police station. He escaped!"
Caleb paused, his expression calm and composed. "He was beaten up because he owed money. What does that have to do with us?"
Jeffrey hesitated, then nodded. Just as he started to relax, his phone rang. "Boss, it's the police calling."
Caleb took the phone, and Fryderyk's voice came through. "Come to the station."
"Alright," Caleb replied without hesitation. After signing the remaining documents, he instructed, "Handle the rest of the matters properly, and make sure to keep this under wraps."
Ethan had no choice but to nod. "Okay."
At the police station, Fryderyk began questioning Caleb. The inquiries focused on whether he had illegally detained Henry, but Caleb denied everything, claiming complete ignorance.
Meanwhile, the officers investigating the case brought in the man who had actually detained Henry. During the interrogation, the truth began to surface.
Henry had borrowed 65 thousand dollars from the man but refused to pay it back. The man's daughter was hospitalized with leukemia, and seeing Henry with money but unwilling to repay his debt, he lost his temper, beat Henry, and locked him up.
Fryderyk asked, "Alex Bell, you're from Jamelan, right?"
"Yes," Alex confirmed.
"Henry says Caleb paid you to do this, revenge for his sister. Care to explain?"
Alex immediately shook his head. "I don't know Caleb. I beat Henry because I wanted my money back."
Fryderyk pressed further. "What about Aria, or her previous name, Madelyn Colton? Do you know her?"
Emma looked troubled. "Sorry, I messed up."
She hadn't believed the rumors or said anything bad about Aria. She'd just instinctively trusted Hannah's judgment, thinking that as a team leader at Kerano Global Health, her recommendation had to be reliable.
