Kaitlyn's brows furrowed in confusion. "You didn't send the Evelyn Reed away?"

"Of course not."

"I want to believe you, Alexander. But if she's not found, I'll hold you responsible," Kaitlyn warned.

A soft chuckle escaped Alexander's lips, devoid of any discernible emotion. He rose from his seat, towering over Kaitlyn. "Why not just outright accuse me of taking her?"

"The Evelyn Reed has been with me for years. She's one of the few I trust implicitly. I won't let anything happen to her," Kaitlyn declared, her gaze unwavering.
