Seeing Raegans silence, Henley snapped, Well, then, tell me, who else but I would have come to rescue you?
Initially, Henley left the event venue, furious because of a series of incidents. On his way, his

subordinates relayed a series of alarming updates. They first reported that Alexis had been arrested, which was foreseeable.
Following Mitchels exposure, Alexis capture was bound to happen.
Alexis, an outsider, had tried to seize control of the Dixon familys wealth and had even murdered Beuford. He couldnt escape punishment for his actions.
Henley wasnt concerned about the minor offenses he had done because he knew Alexis would help him hide them. In the worst-case scenario, even if defeated, he still had the extensive international businesses that Alexis had set up for him. He wouldnt be left broke.
As for what sentence Alexis might receive, Henley was unconcerned.
That worthless coward wasnt worth his concern. He planned to hire a lawyer for Alexis and leave the rest to fate.
However, when Henley heard from his subordinates that Mitchel had evacuated all the guests and had even cleared out the hotel, he instantly suspected something was wrong. Reflecting on recent events, he suspected that Mitchel had bigger plans than just targeting Alexis and himself.
So, Henley quickly got his overseas contacts to investigate, and they confirmed that Lorenzo had arrived in Ardlens. He immediately concluded that Mitchels main objective was likely Lorenzo. He and Alexis were merely minor obstacles that Mitchel brushed aside in his quest to attack the major threat.
Aware of Lorenzos expertise with explosives, Henley was certain that explosives would play a crucial role in Mitchels plan.
Henley couldnt understand why Mitchel would take such a significant risk that would undoubtedly upset many people. However, he couldnt dwell on these thoughts because he suddenly remembered Raegan was still at the hotel.
Henley urgently instructed his driver to turn the car around, and he entered the hotel through the underground corridor on the second basement floor before it could be compromised. The owner of the International Banquet Center, a good friend of his, had previously informed him about the hidden passages.
Once inside, Henley evaded Lorenzos men and searched various locations until he finally found Raegan behaving suspiciously.
To his surprise, as he drew closer, he witnessed something absolutely terrifying she was doing! She dared to attempt cutting the wires, despite not having a days worth of knowledge about explosives. He was torn between admiring her courage and questioning her sanity!
Raegan asked, Where did you come from?

The basement, second floor.
Hearing this, Raegan quickly lost interest, realizing it wasnt important enough to report to the commander.
She reached out to grab the scissors, but Henley quickly reacted and kicked them away.
What are you doing, trying to kill yourself?
Raegan looked at the scissors, now far out of reach. She was already exhausted from moving around in her pregnant condition, and now he was adding to her stress. She was angry. Henley, please go. Stop meddling with my business.
Wow, youre really ungrateful. I came here to save you out of kindness, and this is how you thank me? Henleys face grew stern, his tone suggesting Raegan owed him a debt of gratitude.
Yet, Raegan had only one question. How did you know I was here?
Henley found himself suddenly speechless.
Raegan, perceptive, immediately caught on to something. Was my flight transfer your doing?
