Leonora felt her heart shatter at the desperate cry for help. Tears streamed down her cheeks at that very moment.
She had barely settled into the car when she dialed a number. "I've got to save Heidi. Help me figure out a way."
In the grand hall of a mansion, a man clad in black sat in a wheelchair, his face twisted with malevolence. "Stick to your own business, don't throw us off balance, and follow my lead."
Leonora's fingers, clenching the phone, turned ghostly white. "You promised me that you wouldn't hurt her. Now she's locked up and being tormented daily. If this goes on, she'll die."
The man's eyes were shadowed, his voice icy. "If it weren't for her fooling around abroad, she'd be Ian’s wife by now. Would we be in this mess? Don't forget your role, Leonora. If you can't secure your position in the Hayes family, you can kiss Heidi goodbye."
Leonora gritted her teeth. "What if Clara is carrying a Hayes heir? Will you still stand by and let her give birth?"
At this, the man's expression darkened further. "Are you certain?"
"Pretty much."
After a brief silence, the man spoke coldly, "Follow my orders, and don't make a move without my say-so."
Hanging up on the dial tone, Leonora's face twisted with resolve. She would save Heidi, and she had no intention of sparing Clara either!
