I Forgot I Ever Loved You (Zoe and Hayden) novel Chapter 532

Zoe was incredibly flattered, though the sheer scale of the mission was still hard to wrap her head around.

"I—Garrett, the Commissioner is placing an unbelievable amount of faith in me."

Garrett's smile softened. "When Command HQ investigated your marriage, trying to explain the situation was an uphill battle. The fact that Sienna could even get into this auction proves that Hayden's reach is beyond what we imagined.

"But, if you transform yourself into an irreplaceable asset—someone actively protected by the state because of your undeniable contributions—your needs will become their priority. When you speak, they will listen."

Zoe heard the unspoken message loud and clear.

There was only one path to divorcing Hayden.

She had to become untouchable.

The world didn't cater to the weak, and a military marriage tied to someone of Hayden's rank was heavily guarded.

The brass wasn't going to sever her marriage based on her word alone.

But if her value eclipsed even Hayden's, her voice would carry the necessary weight. Her demands would become orders.

"I understand, Garrett. I'll give it everything I have."

Meanwhile, the Winters family had been physically thrown out onto the street.

Mrs. Winters was hyperventilating with rage, and Julian's face was a dark, stormy mask.

Megan was the most confused of all. Feeling utterly humiliated, she began whining to Julian.

"I thought you said Sienna was powerful! What the hell was that? If she's such a big deal, why did they toss us out like garbage? And where is her precious husband?"

The security guards had gripped her so hard that tears were welling in her eyes.

Julian glared at her venomously. "Shut the hell up!"

"Don't you yell at me! I'm just pointing out facts!"

Megan was burning with indignation.

"Sienna, what is going on? Isn't an auction just a place to buy things? You offered them a fortune, so why did they throw us out? Call Hayden right now! Have him come down here and put them in their place!

"You're the Chairwoman of Easton Group! How dare they humiliate us like that? They treated us like peasants!"

Mrs. Winters was equally furious. They had arrived eager to flaunt their wealth, only to be publicly humiliated.

Sienna's carefully crafted facade of elegant composure was cracking rapidly under Megan's grating complaints.

She pulled out her phone and dialed Hayden.

It took a very long time for him to pick up.
