Chapter 958:

? ? ? ? ?

At this point, Henley no longer bothered to dissemble, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. "Yes, it was me," he confessed without any feeling of guilt. "I thought, with your ex-husband getting married, how could you miss the show?"

Raegan looked hesitant. "That? Are you crazy? She had never imagined that Henley was the mastermind behind her being trapped here.

«Henley, what have I done to you? You tricked me into coming here, confined me in a hotel room, and almost got me killed by that Moony?

Seeing Raegan so visibly upset was unusual for Henley. She was typically distant or just ignored him. However, seeing her visibly angry seemed strangely charming to him.

Suddenly, he questioned his own feelings. Before, he longed to have her, but now, he was satisfied with just having her attention. I was really desperate.

"Leave me alone!" Raegan was furious. He didn't dare speak to her.

Noticing her flushed face, Henley clarified: “I didn't order anyone to lock you in the room. "It wasn't me, and I deny any involvement."

Raegan snorted. If not Henley, the only other person who had seen her was Katie. If Katie was responsible, he wasn't surprised. Henley and Katie were the ones who recklessly stepped on each other's toes, like now, Henley proudly declaring himself the hero coming to her rescue. In fact, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament in the first place.

Raegan took several deep breaths to calm herself and asked, “You mentioned you wanted to rescue me. Is there a secret passage?

Raegan hoped to gather some valuable information to pass on to the commander and help the special forces in their mission.

To her surprise, Henley eyed her suspiciously. "That? Are you planning to organize a rescue for Mitchel?

Raegan knew that Henley hated Mitchel to the core, and her unwavering feelings for Mitchel were only a minor factor. The main problem was that Alexis had tricked Henley into believing he was the rightful heir to the Dixon family wealth. The stark contrast in backgrounds between them was also at play.

Henley would stab Mitchel in the back, and there was no way for him to tell her a way to rescue Mitchel. There was also the risk that any information he gave out could be a trap. Realizing this, Raegan decided not to question Henley anymore.

He walked over and picked up the scissors from the floor.

Henley was surprised, thinking she might be crazy. Didn't he value his life? I still wanted to cut the detonator wires!

He reached out to intervene, but Raegan raised the scissors, warning him, “Back off!”

Henley's expression instantly darkened. He had come to rescue her and now he was threatening her with a pair of scissors.

Henley smirked and said, "Do you really think those tiny scissors can hurt me?"

Trying to contain his frustration, he warned, “Raegan, I'm losing my patience. “Either you come with me voluntarily, or I knock you out and fuck you myself.”

“Henley, are you really trying to save me and take me away?” Raegan asked.

«If I go with you, where will you take me? Will you let me go home?

Henley was speechless.

Raegan continued: "You won't. You have lost your place in Ardlens. So, are you planning to take me abroad, to some isolated place where you can confine me?

Henley remained silent. At that moment, it was just the two of them, and there was no point in lying anymore. Henley didn't feel the need to pretend in front of her either.

“Henley, haven't you realized it yet?” Raegan scoffed, “You're always the self-absorbed type. You do what is best for you, without caring what others think. And if it comes down to it, you're not above using force."

Raegan's understanding of Henley's character was profoundly accurate, and his observations were spot on.
