Alexander nodded. “She made a snarky remark to us outside the police station,” he answered.
| recalled the impeccably dressed woman who had implied that Chloe and her mother would be getting out of
jail. That must be Chloe's aunt, the woman that they were talking about.
“Well, | found out that Hana is a part of the ZIKO society,” Duke revealed.
This nmeant nothing to me, but Alexander's face went pale. “That cult-like group?”
“Yep,” Duke answered and took a sip of his red wine. “Hana has been a member for a very long time. She is well-
respected in that group.” He looked around and then leaned forward. “My sources also toldthat Hana offered
Felix, her nephew, and Ethan, her future nephew-in-law, membership into her exclusive club-with a condition
that they would both owe her big time-but Felix had refused on the spot, knowing how shady and corrupt the
ZIKO society is.”
My throat becdry when | realized that Duke hadn't said that Ethan hadn’t refused membership. Was my ex-
husband now a member of this creepy club?
“I bet you that Chloe offered to join the club and owe her aunt a big favor,” Duke continued and raised his
eyebrows. “That's the only reason that Hana is offering to help get her out of jail.”
“Or, Felix told his aunt that he would join,” Alexander pointed out. “Maybe he agreed because he thought that it
was the only way to get

another Windsor a part of that creepy club isn’t good because it’s giving them more power from a well-
connected family.”
My stomach stiffened with fear when | figured out the second reason why Felix or Chloe joining the ZIKO club
wasn’t good.
“And two,” Duke said, putting up his middle finger along with his pointer. “If the corrupt group that Hana is in
offers their help and resources, then | bet you that Chloe and her mother will be out of jail before the end of the
week.”
*Olivia*
To my surprise, Alexander didn’t seem too worried about Hana helping her niece and sister get out of jail.
At this point, the server brought us our food, and he eagerly tucked into his Thai peanut noodles. But | pushed
my own lunch away. The news that Chloe might escape punishment again made my stomach churn, and | had
completely lost my appetite.
“Why don’t you seem more concerned?” Duke asked Alexander. | noticed that he wasn’t touching his meal either.
“I can almost guarantee you that with Hana’s help, Chloe and her mother will be bailed out of jail. Then, they will
retaliate against you and Olivia.” He shuddered. “I can assure you that you don’t want the ZIKO group coming
after you.”
But Alexander merely shrugged and swallowed the bite he had just taken. “I'm not scared of a corrupt group like
them,” he answered. “And I'm positive that Chloe and her mother won't escape the law this time.” He wiped his
mouth calmly with a napkin and took a sip of water. “Not if | have anything to do with it.”
