For days, there had been no news of Zoe.
Ethan Montgomery hadn't provided any updates from Nadia Fox's social media regarding Zoe and the baby.
Sienna Winters was waiting for Hayden Thorne. She had visited Mrs. Winters once, and the hopeful look in her mother's eyes made Sienna clench her fists, a suffocating wave of anxiety washing over her.
"Did you talk to Hayden?" Mrs. Winters asked.
Sienna couldn't hide it from her mother. In the past, Hayden granted her every request. Even when Terrence Winters faced his massive scandal, Hayden had rushed to help.
If Hayden was willing to step in for Mrs. Winters' detention, it wouldn't be as severe as her last predicament.
Sienna knew the Kendall family couldn't easily take down the Thornes.
Sienna lowered her eyes. "I told him."
Mrs. Winters grew anxious. "If you told him, why hasn't he done anything? What does he mean by this? Just a few days ago, he went to the mall to buy you jewelry for a proposal."
Mrs. Winters' thoughts perfectly aligned with Sienna's.
"Is he just too busy planning a surprise for you to focus on my situation? Sienna, it's unbearable in here. Hayden loves you so much. You can't just mention it over the phone; you need to find him and talk to him seriously.
He treats you like his most precious treasure. He put so much effort into your father's mess. I was only brought in because the Kendalls framed meβit's not a big deal. If Hayden steps in, I can get out."
Sienna sat motionless across from Mrs. Winters. In her agitation, Mrs. Winters stood up, only to be reprimanded by a staff member and frightened back into her seat.
"Did you hear what your mother said?"
Seeing Sienna's silence, Mrs. Winters' heart burned with panic. She looked at her daughter cautiously.
"You didn't have a fight with Hayden, did you? Don't throw a tantrum at a crucial time like this. I know your business is doing well lately, but Hayden is still our biggest backer.
With Charles Thorne dead, having money in the capital's high society isn't enough. If you don't rely on Hayden, sitting on a pile of cash will only make you a target. Don't be foolish."
Sienna was starting to doubt if her decisions were flawed.
"Don't worry, Mom. Hayden won't abandon me. Besides, I still have Holden. He cares about Holden the most."
Mrs. Winters nodded. Seeing Sienna's composed demeanor made her feel the problem wasn't too severe.
Sienna's phone rang. Megan Winters called at the perfect time.
Megan had been trying to reach Mrs. Winters without success and felt something was off. It was impossible to go on a vacation and drop completely off the grid.
Sienna answered the call, and Megan tested the waters.
"I'm with Mom right now," Sienna said, gesturing for Mrs. Winters to speak to Megan.
Mrs. Winters forced down her irritation and cleared her throat.
