“Well, you know what? All these women kind of resemble Wendy, Zynn said. She had been sitting behind the computer watching for a while, then walked back around the desk. “Men, huh. When they can’t get the real thing, they find a substitute. What do they think they are?”

Wendy’s expression didn’t change. She even took a slow sip of her coffee and calmly commented on Henry’s current condition.

“I have to admit, Henry looks way older than he did a few years ago, she said.

The scene on the screen was too much–Wendy really didn’t want to see it anymore, so she shut the monitor off.

“Mr. Fred said the kidnappers still haven’t called again. They only made one demand, but they send a video every hour to Aimee’s parents, just to prove she’s still alive,” she added.

Clearly, that hard drive mattered.

“Actually, I think there’s a really simple way to find out what’s on the hard drive,” Zynn said.

Wendy lifted her eyes and looked at her.

“Don’t forget,” Zynn continued, “Shanelle’s still here. When it comes to leverage, what she has might not be any less than Aimee’s hard drive.”

Ever since Dawn stopped following Shanelle around, the woman hadn’t left the hotel. Since Henry kept the money flowing, she didn’t care if she stayed there forever.

Wendy had quietly sent her plenty of things to support her lifestyle.

“Aimee’s just a girl. According to the kidnappers, the hard drive wasn’t on her, so it must’ve been at her house. But Mr. Fred already turned her place upside down and still didn’t find it. So where could it be hidden?” Wendy asked.

The office fell silent. After a long pause, someone lit a lighter with a small click, and white smoke slowly rose. The smell of tobacco began to fill the room.

Zynn smoked pretty often–more than Wendy did now.

Suddenly, something clicked in Wendy’s mind.

If it wasn’t at her house, then the only other place Aimee had been in the past few months was the hospital.

Her eyes lit up. She quickly called Chase.

“Has Room 316 already been taken by a new patient?” Wendy asked as soon as he picked up.

Patients in Room 816 usually had to stay long–term. Last time, Aimee had been there after a car accident. This time, it was an elderly patient waiting for a heart transplant.

Melody said they were installing an air purifier for the patient’s health. Before that, the room needed a full cleaning. Since the weather was nice, the family wheeled the patient outside to get some sun.
