Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654

Wilson shook his head, half amused, half annoyed. “Dorian, are you nuts? Maybe I’m a suspect, but what has Aria got to do with it? She’s not one of Arressto. Why would she help kill Margery?”

Joel, who came with Wilson, immediately sided with him. “Exactly. Aria was kidnapped by Flynt. She’s also a victim. What does Margery’s escaping have to do with her?”

Harry Torres tried to break the tension. “Stop wasting time. Let’s find Margery.”

Dorian didn’t budge. “Get Aria first. She’ll lead us to Margery.”

Wilson stepped in front of Aria, unyielding. “Not a chance.”

Aria leaned against the tree and said coolly, “Pathetic loser.”

Dorian gave it his all but clearly felt Aria wasn’t taking him seriously. He thought, ‘Yes, I’m not a match for her. She’s Wilson’s sister. They’re just making me a fool on purpose.

Dorian gritted his teeth and said, “Wilson, I’ll report everything truthfully this time.”

Wilson shrugged nonchalantly. “I’ve got nothing to hide. Besides, my job was to find Margery, not kill her. I finished my mission, but you didn’t.

“You can’t defeat my sister, and neither can I. No need to get worked up.”

The remark caught the attention of the other four of Arressto. They thought, ‘Could it be that Dorian was picking fights simply because he couldn’t defeat Aria? Well, it looks like that’s exactly the type of guy he is.

“Cut the crap, Wilson.” Dorian’s face darkened even more.

Wilson shrugged with a careless grin. “I’m just being honest. If you weren’t so sensitive, why wouldn’t you just let her go?”

Dorian took several deep breaths, then turned and stormed off without another word, followed by his two companions.

Joel and Harry exchanged an uncertain look, clearly torn between staying and leaving. If they stayed, the bosses might punish them once they found out. However, if they followed Dorian, he might still blame them for his own mistake.

Since either choice led to punishment, they decided to stay with Wilson.

Wilson said, “If you come with me, you’ll probably get punished.”

Joel joked, “We had been used to it since we followed you.”

Wilson was speechless, then asked Aria, “Are you going to the Solemnity Guild now?”

When Joel heard that, he was surprised. “Aria, are you really going to that place?” That place wasn’t just for anyone. One misstep and they would be done for.

Aria nodded. “Yeah. Thanks for everything tonight.” She turned and walked away, with Wilson, Joel, and Harry following

close behind.

Aria halted abruptly and turned to them. “Why are you guys following me?”

Wilson glanced at the two and smirked, “Yeah, what are you guys following me for?”

Joel and Harry said, “Wilson, we came with you. Wherever you go, we go.”

Wilson explained, “The mission is over. I’m going with my sister. You guys do whatever you want.”

Joel said, “Are you going to the Solemnity Guild?”

Wilson nodded. “Yeah.”

Joel said, “We wanna see what’s out there too.”

Wilson said, “It could be dangerous.”

In unison, Joel and Harry said, “We’re not afraid of anything that’s coming our way.”

Aria shot them an odd glance. These two were so unremarkable, and no one would guess they belonged to Arressto. She said, “This is personal. You don’t have to come.”

Wilson casually took the flashlight from her hand and said, “Listen. You never planned on letting us catch Margery. You were just using me, weren’t you?”

Aria tried to reply, but Wilson interrupted, “Don’t bother explaining. I can feel it. It’s too late to push me away now. I won’t leave you until this is all over. As your brother, I’m coming with you to find Owen.”

Aria was speechless.

Joel and Harry were dumbfounded. They thought, ‘Well, can’t you see that she doesn’t want you to be here?’

Wilson bent down, picked up a sturdy stick, and led the way. “Let’s go. Our car is this way. Once we’re in the car, I’ll give you back Owen’s phone.”

After a brief hesitation, Aria followed.

Meanwhile, over at the Solemnity Guild, a tall man reached the fifth-floor dormitory and pushed the door open.

The room was tiny-a metal bunk bed took up nearly all the space, with a worn wooden desk shoved awkwardly against the wall and an old-fashioned wardrobe standing nearby.

Owen’s gaze fell on the name tags at the head of the bed-Madelyn on the top bunk, and Sara on the bottom. He ran his finger gently over the top one and peeled it off.

The manuscript on the desk was old. Owen tore off a sheet, folded it into a heart, and tucked the tag inside. Just as he was about to grab Sara’s tag, footsteps sounded outside.

Owen’s expression tensed. He scanned the room and quickly ducked into the wardrobe. Just as he closed the door, two people came in, one behind the other.

Curtis said, “Mr. Nicholson, this is the dorm Sara used to stay in.”

Russell gave a brief nod and quickly focused on Sara’s name tag.

Curtis said, “Back then, the Solemnity Guild’s dorms weren’t great, and two of them shared a room. Sara and Madelyn lived in this one. If we had known Sara was your sister, we wouldn’t have left her here.”

Russell remained silent, took down the name tag, and pocketed it. Then he asked, “Did Madelyn stay here after Sara died?”

Curtis let out a sigh. “Yeah. Madelyn, now called Echohawk, is an aloof person. Nobody wanted to be near her except Sara.

“She fought with Marcus, and Sara got caught in the mess. However, when Echohawk came back to the Solemnity Guild, she tortured and killed Marcus, and didn’t spare his father either.”
