I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 500

"Sienna, Mom came to the Kendall family, but I got into trouble. They're going to detain me! You need to find Hayden quickly and figure out a way out of this."

Mrs. Winters had only gotten halfway through her sentence when the police officer glared at her coldly.

"Are you done yet?"

Mrs. Winters was still acting arrogant. "Can't I make a phone call? This is my right."

The officer looked at her. "No one is stopping you from exercising your rights. But considering the crime you've committed, bail is strictly denied. An ordinary detention center isn't even qualified to hold you for insulting a senior state official. Let's go."

Mrs. Winters couldn't even tell if he was being sarcastic or serious.

She was shoved into the back of the police cruiser. Her chauffeur, scared out of his wits, immediately drove to Easton Group to report the incident to Sienna.

When Sienna heard the news, her face instantly darkened.

When her mother called her, she hadn't thought the situation was that serious. The Kendalls were being absolutely ruthless.

Sienna simply didn't have the personal connections or resources to handle this.

The only person she could rely on was Hayden.

The Kendall family wasn't one to be trifled with. When she called the police station to offer bail, they flatly refused her.

Left with no other option, Sienna had to call Hayden.

But getting ahold of him proved difficult. Recently, whenever she called his personal cell phone, it never went through properly.

It was always a cold, automated female voice—either the line was busy or the phone was turned off.

Anxious, Sienna finally decided to call the landline in Hayden's office.

At last, Hayden's deep voice came through the receiver.

"Hayden, my mom is in trouble."

Sienna blurted it out. She hadn't wanted to be so direct, but Hayden wasn't a stranger to her.

He had handled her father, Terrence Winters's messes multiple times. When she was detained last time, even though Hayden hadn't been able to bail her out, she knew he had tried his best.

There was a few seconds of silence on Hayden's end. Sienna began to sob.

"What happened?"

His voice was indifferent, totally ordinary.

He didn't seem to care much about her issues anymore, as if the deep love everyone thought they shared didn't exist.

Otherwise, why hadn't he been answering her calls lately?

Sienna forced herself to wait patiently until the office closed and she returned to Blackwood Manor, but she still didn't receive a call from Hayden.

Megan saw Sienna return and hurried over to her.

"Sienna, you're finally back. I've been looking for Aunt Clara all day. Her phone is unreachable, and I'm worried sick."

Sienna glanced at Megan, thought for a moment, and decided not to tell her the truth.

Her mother being locked up wasn't exactly a glorious thing, and Megan and Julian couldn't help anyway.

Steadying her emotions, she said, "It's fine. My mom went on an overseas trip with a few friends. She's on the plane, so there's no signal. I'm quite busy these days. If there's nothing urgent, you don't need to come over."

Megan's expression stiffened, a heavy feeling settling in her chest.

Sienna had spoken to her as if she were a subordinate at the company.

The sheer disdain in her expression made Megan incredibly uncomfortable.
