Chapter 9 - Victoria Hale Hires Private Investigators To Track Ethan
Meanwhile, inside her penthouse suite on Park Avenue, Victoria met with Richard Croft, a notorious high-society private investigator.
She tossed a thick stack of hundred-dollar bills onto the glass coffee table, her eyes glinting with ruthless desperation.
“I need you to track Ethan’s every move, Croft. Find out where he took that girl and her sick mother,” Victoria ordered coldly.
“And I want you to dig up every piece of dirt on Olivia Bennett’s time in New Jersey... there must be something we can use.”
Croft picked up the cash, sliding it into his leather jacket pocket with a dark, knowing smirk on his weather-beaten face.
“Consider it done, Miss Hale. But if Senator Hale finds out I’m working directly for you on this, it will cost double.”
“I don't care what it costs!” Victoria shouted, leaning against the balcony railing overlooking the bright city lights below.
“Ethan belongs to me! He built his entire fortune using my family’s political connections, and I will not let him throw me away!”
