Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

The old man gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder, “Son, with that lost look on your face, I’d bet she left without saying goodbye”

Owen fell silent, hot wanting to explain.

The man went on, “Don’t bother waiting. She’s not coming back just because you’re standing here.”

Aria arrived at the meeting spot, where Nikolas waved her over. “Turns out the truck driver has a twin brother,” he explained as she approached. “It was his brother’s family who went abroad, not him.”

The Maverick disappearance was a huge deal, but officially it was just another car accident. Everyone involved had given statements and gone on with their lives.

The truck driver, Kristian Farley, had used his brother’s ID, which was why Nikolas hadn’t found anything odd at first.

Now, his suspicion shot up from mild to almost certainty.

“Where is he?” Aria asked.

“This way.” Nikolas replied, leading her down a twisting, narrow alley.

After several turns, they reached an open area. Aria was about to ask more when a man’s voice drifted down om above. She looked up to see a head

poking over the rooftop.

“That’s him,” Nikolas said quietly, “Kristian.”

As soon as Kristian made eye contact with Nikolas, his eyes went wide. He spun around and bolted.

“Kristian!” Nikolas shouted, racing toward the courtyard.

But Aria was faster. in a blur, she scaled the wall and landed gracefully on the rooftop, grabbing Kristian before he could get away.

Within a minute, she reappeared at the edge of the roof, practically dragging Kristian along, and jumped down with him.

He screamed in terror, hitting the ground hard and collapsing in a heap, trembling.

Nikolas, mouth dry, stared at Aria in shock. He’d always known she was tough, but scaling rooftops and throwing needles? Was she some kind of time- traveling assassin?

He quickly recovered. “Alright, Kristian. Time to talk. Tell us exactly what happened that day.”

Kristian, short but burly, pushed himself up, glaring. “I’m calling the police. You two are kidnapping me!”

He spun to make a break for the door–only for three needles to whiz past his face, embedding themselves in the wood. Kristian froze, terror etched on

his face.

Nikolas was just as shaken. This wasn’t a movie–Aria really was that dangerous.

He lowered his voice, menacing, “Back before Mandino City, I was in the business of killing. So it’s simple: you talk, or you die.”

Kristian’s bravado crumbled instantly. “Okay, okay! I’ll talk!”

Aria sauntered over, armis crossed, shooting him a sidelong look. “Open the door.”

He scrambled to comply, nearly falling over himself as he pushed the door open. “After you, ma’am.”

Nikolas was the one who understood the case best, so this was the smartest way.

He hesitated, “Ms. Saxon, aren’t you coming in?”
