Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 186

On Regal Heights Drive.

Hayden sat in the car, unseen from the outside. The crime scene, cordoned off by the police, was where Davina was taken. Kieran stared at the parked black sedan and knocked on the car door twice.

Hayden unlocked the door. Kieran pulled it open and slid into the passenger seat, “What’s the situation?”

“Some people have been to the crime scene already. These guys are seriously professional, organized and disciplined. Payne’s sent over the surveillance footage. They brought a medical team along, guess they didn’t want to hurt Davina,” Hayden replied.

Kieran asked, “Are they Davina’s accomplices?”

After thinking for a couple of seconds, Hayden responded, “Not necessarily.”

Finished speaking, he handed the laptop over to Kieran.

In the surveillance footage, Hayden had zoomed in on Davina’s face when she was taken. Dylan turned to look at the laptop in Kieran’s hands, then definitively stated, “Her mouth and eyes are wide open, eyebrows raised, nostrils flaring. Davina is clearly scared. Judging from her terrified facial expression, it’s unlikely that this was Davina’s partner, but it’s likely someone she knew.”

Dylan paused before asking, “Could it be Lucian?”

Hayden and Kieran look at Dylan.

“Judging from your expressions, are you doubting me…” Dylan leaned over the front seat to look at them: “Am I the only one who thinks this could have. something to do with Lucian?”

“Yes, you’re the only one who thinks so,” Kieran replied bluntly.

Dylan was speechless.

“I’ve already sent people to investigate.” Hayden turned to Kieran, “How’s Joyce?”

“She’s fine.” Kieran asked Hayden, “What’s Payne up to? Did he find out where the people who kidnapped Davina went?”

Hayden shook his head, “He said he had an important discovery and went off to make a call. He’s over there.”,

He pointed towards the woods outside the car window. Just as Kieran turned his head, he saw Payne running excitedly towards the car.

Dylan rolled down the window and looked at Payne, “Did you win the lottery? You seem pretty thrilled!”
