?Chapter 2740:


    Hadley epted it silently.


    “Get in.” Ellis opened the door for her.


    “You’ll want to tell Mr. Flynn right away, won’t you?”


    Hadley nodded, snapping back to herself.


    Yes, he was right.


    She bent down, slid into the car, and dialed Ernest.


    “Ernest, it’s me…”


    She spoke quickly, words tumbling out.


    “Bianca… we found her.”


    On the other end, Ernest’s tone sharpened.


    “Good. I’m on my way. See you soon!”


    “See you soon!”


    Ellis had already started the car.


    Hadley turned to him, a frown tugging at her brow.


    “I need to—”


    “I know.”


    He didn’t need an exnation.


    “We’re heading to the station together.”


    ncing at her, he added, “You agreed to my terms earlier… now, your matters are mine. Wherever you need to go—I’ll be there.”


    Hadley stared at his profile, her heart a tangled mess. Yes… she had agreed to be with him. But now wasn’t the moment to untangle that promise.


    She turned away, her gaze slipping to the blur of the passing streets.


    By the time they reached the police station, Ernest—who had been closer—was already there.


    “Ernest!” Hadley called, hurrying over.


    ??ρ??α?????? ?????? ???? ????????ν????????????


    “Hadley.” He gave her a brief nod.


    He wasn’t alone; Cristian stood beside him. They had seen Bianca being escorted in, and interrogation had already begun.


    “We’ll wait here for now,” Ernest said.


    “Ferris should be along shortly.”


    “Alright.” Hadley’s brows furrowed, her mind restless.


    After parking the car, Ellis stepped inside and found the duo standing shoulder to shoulder, their faces taut with anticipation.


    “Mr. Flynn.” He greeted Ernest with a curt nod.


    “Mr. Gomez?” Ernest looked surprised—hadn’t he heard Ellis had been transferred?


    Ellis didn’t borate. His eyes flicked to Hadley.


    “Should I go in and check?”


    Hadley nodded faintly.


    “Alright.” Ellis disappeared inside.


    He returned a short whileter.


    “Well?” Hadley’s voice trembled, a fragile mix of hope and dread. All this—everything—was for her ex-husband…


    Swallowing the bitter taste in his chest, Ellis said evenly, “She hasn’t spoken a word since they brought her in.”
