He raised an eyebrow, touched his chin, and said, “Well, he is Zayden's rival. Since he had put Zayden in that condition, he must be quite the character. Actually, I want to meet him and see what he is really capable of."

Seizing the opportunity, Ariana said, "I'm sure he will come to find me. He has resources and ways you can't even imagine. He'll find this place. Just wait and see."

Ariana still felt nervous, but she tried to sound confident. Bennett glanced at her and replied coldly, “Even if he is that skilled, there's no way he'll find here."

"Why?" Ariana asked.

She felt like she was about to get more information, and she felt good about it. But she suppressed her excitement.

"Because..." Bennett's voice trailed off.

His eyes narrowed, and he smiled. “I'm not telling you."

Ariana was at a loss for words for a moment. Before she could reply, Bennett continued leisurely, “Stop trying to fish for information. Even if you find something, what can you do? You have no way to send out messages."

Ariana could only bite her lower lip. She realized Bennett had seen through her. Sure enough, she was outmatched.

Bennett smiled, and his tone softened when he said, “But really, telling you won't hurt."

He spoke slowly as if deliberately teasing her. "You are no longer in Eleymond. No matter how capable Holden is in Eleymond, he can't interfere with the forces of other countries."

Realization dawned on Ariana upon hearing this. She was already in another country. The car accident was clearly a premeditated kidnapping.

What was worse, there seemed to be no laws in this country. Instead, the man in front of her was the law.

A chill ran down Ariana's spine. But at the same time, she felt relieved that her children weren't here to endure this ordeal. At least they were safe with Holden in Eleymond.

At the thought of her children and Holden, a wave of despair surged in Ariana's heart. Unconsciously, her tears began to fall.

She gritted her teeth, trying to hold back her tears. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand. But the more she wiped them, the more they fell, and the sadder she felt.

Five years ago, she had thought she had lost her loved one, and one of her children had died. She had endured alone for five years. But now, after finally reuniting with Holden, she faced the possibility of never returning home. She might even die in a foreign land.

Melon's cute Little face flashed through her mind. The little boy had always been sweet and clingy to her. If she couldn't go back, would he be mistreated? Would he miss her? He was a very sensible child.

It would surely break his heart if she didn't return.

Ariana cried uncontrollably, thinking of her children and Holden.
