The moment Mrs. Atkins saw Gonzalez walk in, she collapsed in shame. "Mr. Hanson, I'm so sorry. I took your wife's money, and I drugged the soup just like she told me to. I am so deeply sorry!"
"I was blinded by greed, and I deserve this retribution!"
Seeing the older woman break down and confess so publicly, the room fell into a heavy silence. Even Simon finally connected the final dots, turning a look of murderous fury toward Hannah.
Hannah shrank into herself, her face looking like death.
Gonzalez didn't spare Mrs. Atkins a second glance, striding straight past her into the precinct.
Mrs. Atkins' family members hurried to help her up from the floor.
Of course, the person who had actually orchestrated the kidnapping wasn't Hannah, even though she had been the one to send the thugs to threaten the family.
Gonzalez noted Yvonne's absence, but he was already steps ahead of her. He had dispatched a team to tail her car the moment they left the hotel.
His subordinate called in the report. "Yvonne didn't head to the station. There are other vehicles tailing her as well, but we haven't determined if they're friend or foe. We're monitoring the situation."
"Don't let her escape," Gonzalez ordered flatly.
"Understood, Boss."

Over at the airport, Yvonne had barely parked when two black SUVs boxed her in from the front and back. She scrambled out of her car in a panic to confront them, only to freeze when Millard stepped out of the lead vehicle.
Millard's expression was carved from ice.
"Ms. Yvonne, Mr. Lamont gave you a direct order to stay abroad and never return. It seems you didn't take his warning to heart."
Yvonne's voice trembled violently. "I'm leaving right now! I'll never come back!"
