The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 356

Naturally, Preston climbed into the car with them.

"Get out," Chloe ordered coldly.

Unfazed, Preston settled comfortably into the seat.

The next second, the driver respectfully nodded. "Mr. Hayes."

Just then, Quentin's driver called.

"Mr. Shaw, I don't see you at the exit..."

Preston reached over and abruptly ended the call for him.

"Are you sure you want to waste even more time?"

Chloe remained silent.

The car was already moving; switching vehicles halfway would indeed be a massive waste of time.

The group arrived at the hotel shortly after.

Staff members had already taken over the front desk, liaising with management, and Officer Bennett had arrived on the scene.

However, the hotel's security footage clearly showed Belle walking out on her own a few days prior.

She was even seen hailing a cab. The entire process appeared completely normal, with absolutely no signs of coercion or kidnapping.

The hotel manager offered a cautious smile. "Miss, perhaps your friend simply decided to leave on her own and didn't want to tell you?"

Officer Bennett nodded in agreement. "This footage doesn't support the theory of a kidnapping."

"But..." Chloe started.

Preston placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Thank you for your time, Officer."

Chloe glared at him. Preston lowered his voice, explaining, "The other party clearly came prepared. Standard procedures won't uncover anything useful here."

"And what kind of unconventional methods are you planning to use?"

"Don't worry, I..."

Before he could finish, a loud, obnoxious ringtone cut him off.

"The coolest, most badass boss in the world is calling, hurry up and answer~"

Preston instinctively looked at Chloe, quickly moving to decline the call.

"You better answer it," Chloe said flatly.

Preston had already hit reject. He tried to explain, but Chloe cut him off.

"If you don't answer, aren't you afraid your precious friend might commit suicide again?"

Preston's brow furrowed.
