I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 436

Sienna was completely dumbfounded.

Zoe held up her phone and played back the audio she had just recorded.

"You just bragged about Hayden protecting you, right? What exactly is your relationship with him? You call yourself Mrs. Thorne. But you're Charles Thorne's wife. I am Hayden's legal wife."

The venomous smile playing on Zoe's lips sent a cold shiver down Sienna's spine. There was a vivid red handprint across Zoe's cheek. Sienna should have been thrilled.

But Zoe's next words made her blood run ice-cold.

"You've clung to Hayden for years. You know exactly what his actual title is."

Sienna watched Zoe's terrifying calm, her own panic spiking. She knew exactly how powerful Hayden was.

He was the apex predator of the city's elite, controlling a financial empire that spanned continents. He had just wiped an international scandal off the map without breaking a sweat.

Sienna knew better than anyone that Hayden was practically a god—and a man she could never afford to lose.

"Of course I know! That's exactly why I'm warning you. If you dare lay a finger on me, Hayden will destroy you."

Sienna sounded fiercely confident. Based on how devoted Hayden had been to her all these years, she genuinely believed Zoe stood no chance.

Using Hayden as a threat was laughable. Did Zoe really think being the legal wife meant anything? Not a single person in their circle even knew they were married.

"Hayden won't let me off the hook? Has spending all these years around him made you completely brain-dead? It's the federal government that won't let you off the hook."

The police arrived in record time.

Zoe offered Captain Briggs a polite smile. Briggs felt a massive migraine coming on. It was the same familiar faces, just in a different location.

"Mrs. Thorne..."

Briggs addressed Zoe with extreme caution, causing Sienna's face to turn a violent shade of purple.

What the hell kind of Mrs. Thorne was Zoe? No one recognized her! This cop was an absolute idiot who couldn't even recognize the real power in the room.

Sienna didn't even know Hayden held a high-ranking military commission. Her ignorance was genuinely staggering.

Zoe and Hayden were still legally bound. Anyone attempting to sabotage a military marriage could be dragged straight before a military tribunal. Destroying Sienna would be as easy as breathing.

Zoe's expression dropped to absolute zero.

"My status as a military spouse has absolutely nothing to do with the Kendall family. If you want to know how it works, you can ask the federal judge."

Zoe pulled Captain Briggs aside and murmured a few words. The captain's face instantly drained of all color.

Sienna was still frantically trying to spin the narrative, pointing at Zoe. "I didn't even hit her! She slapped herself! If you're going to arrest anyone, arrest her for filing a false police report!"

But Captain Briggs completely ignored Sienna's hysterical screaming. The second Zoe finished speaking, he looked absolutely horrified.

"Cuff her and take her away."

Sienna never saw it coming. She thrashed wildly, screaming at Captain Briggs.
