Alexis didn’t mind her anymore. He helped his secretary up from the floor and continued his indulgence.

As soon as Raegan came out of Alexis’ office, she gasped for air, clutching her chest. Her anxiety made her heartbeat erratic. She leaned against the wall to steady herself and waited for her heartbeat to stabilize.
Then, a pair of black leather shoes slowly came to a stop in front of her.
Raegan didn’t need to raise her head to know who it was since there was an unmistakable coldness about this person.
Henley thrust his hands into his pockets and said in an unhurried tone, “Raegan, why do you have to put yourself through all this?”
Raegan asked numbly, “Henley, was it you? Were you the one who took Janey away?”
She knew he wouldn’t tell the truth, but she still asked. She didn’t want to lose even a sliver of hope.
Henley looked at her and smiled faintly. “No.”
Raegan was too overwhelmed by the current situation to discern his expression. Her body had reacted to the stress. Her head, limbs, and even bones ached.
“Raegan…” Henley’s eyes showed a trace of pity as he reached out to gently tuck away her hair. He said softly, “Even though you treat me like this, I can still forgive you.”
Raegan, stiff yet reflexively frowning, dodged his touch.
Henley’s hand hovered in mid-air. The next moment, he chuckled.
“Raegan, I’ve told you many times. Confronting things head-on will only bring you trouble and pain.”
Raegan didn’t want to waste her time on Henley. She had to continue searching for Janey’s whereabouts.
Henley smirked coldly and said, “Instead of wasting your efforts, why not just seek my help?”

Raegan stopped in her tracks and suddenly turned around. “Do you know where Janey and Annis are?”
Henley replied nonchalantly, “Locating someone is a piece of cake for me.”
Raegan knew Henley wanted to take advantage of her vulnerability.
Just as she was about to walk away, Henley said, “Is there really a butterfly fairy?”
Raegan’s eyes darkened at once. This was the story she had told Janey.
Raegan told Janey that if she ever got lost, she should not run around. Instead, she should stay where she was and wait for the butterfly fairy to find her.
Raegan rushed back and grabbed Henley’s collar. She questioned in a hoarse voice, “Where do you hide my Janey?”
Her face turned pale. And her voice trembled as she shouted, “It was you, right? It was you who took my Janey away. Give her back to me! Give her back!”
Henley remained calm. “Don’t be so agitated. If you keep grabbing me like this, everyone will think you’re harassing me. Remember the rumors last time? It will be self-defeating.”
