The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 604

Seeing Zoey being interrogated at the precinct completely caught me off guard.

Learning the dark truth behind the kidnapping left me utterly stunned, yet simultaneously hit me with a profound sense of irony.

All the suffering she had orchestrated for me had ultimately compounded and crashed down onto her own shoulders. Calling it karma was an understatement.

But she already had Ferris wrapped around her finger. He poured all his attention into her, even repeatedly dragging out our marital dissolution agreement just to secure a more comfortable, luxurious future for her. He catered to her every whim.

Why would she go to such extreme, unnecessary lengths to destroy me through a kidnapping?

It must have been her misguided paranoia. Her jealousy twisted her mind until she became so desperate to obliterate me and erase my existence from Ferris's life.

But did Ferris know about this?

How would he react when he found out?

Honestly, I didn't waste much time dwelling on it. Given how deeply infatuated and indulgent Ferris was with Zoey, he would probably still love her even if she committed the most heinous crimes, and he would absolutely cover it up for her.

Just like he had buried the news of this massive kidnapping to keep it out of the press, he would undoubtedly bury Zoey's involvement, silence anyone who knew the truth, and meticulously protect his darling's reputation.

But my main concern was the other fugitive, the heavily built man named Clint Lathan. He was the key to this entire case, and he was undoubtedly a hired gun for the Thorne family.

"Sierra is more than willing to cooperate, but she claims she didn't know Clint well at all. Two months ago, he approached her, claiming he also had a vendetta against Ferris. That's how they became accomplices. But she only knows his name and nothing else. He was always the one to initiate contact, and the phone number he used to reach her has long been disconnected," Officer West said, her brow furrowing with gravity.
