Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 657

Chapter 657

When they stopped for gas, Aria and Joel switched seats. Noticing this, Wilson immediately got out, opened the back door, and said to Harry, “You take the front seat.”

Harry’s smile froze instantly. He shot Wilson a plaintive look and grumbled, “Seriously? No need to be that jealous.”

Wilson sneered. “You don’t get to be that close to Aria.” He thought, ‘I haven’t been that close to her, okay?’

Harry dragged himself to the front seat, muttering as he went, “Fine. We’re just nothing compared to your dear sister.”

Wilson slid into the seat, ready to say something, but noticing the weariness in Aria’s eyes, he held back and simply murmured, “Get some rest.”

For the rest of the journey, Joel and Harry took turns behind the wheel. When it was Wilson’s turn, he walked up to the backseat and tapped on the window. “Front seat. Now.”

Aria didn’t feel like moving. She looked up and said, “What’s the difference?”

Wilson went around and yanked the door open. “Tired, huh? Do you want me to carry you to the front seat?”

Aria stared at him blankly. “You’re so annoying.”

It was the first time they had been this close, and Wilson could clearly see the undisguised disgust in Aria’s eyes. He couldn’t help but think, ‘Well, she looks pretty even when she’s mad.’

Wilson didn’t see any problem with carrying Aria. He said, “What’s the problem?”

Aria rolled her eyes and unbuckled her seatbelt. “Move.”

Wilson stepped aside and watched as Aria headed straight for the passenger seat, smiling. He was starting to get it—less talk, more action.

Wilson, in high spirits, hopped into the car and glanced at the GPS. “Aren’t we heading to the Solemnity Guild? This route seems a bit off.”

Aria said, “I need to go somewhere else first.”

Wilson didn’t press further and started the car.

As the sun began to set, they drove into a remote, desolate stretch of land. The GPS had lost signal, so Aria guided the way. It took them half an hour to reach their destination.

The three followed Aria through a few hidden paths until they came upon a meadow bursting with wildflowers. “It’s beautiful here.” Joel breathed, eyes wide with wonder.

Wilson glanced at Aria. “So, what are we doing here?”

Aria replied, “I’m here to see a friend.”

‘Does someone actually live out here?’ Wilson thought. He had a hunch, but he kept it to himself.

Aria picked some wildflowers and quickly tied them into a small bouquet. She led the others deeper into the field and stopped in front of a lone grave.

The mood shifted, turning heavy and quiet. Aria crouched down, gently brushing away the weeds before laying down the bouquet. “Sara, your brother is coming for you.”

All Aria heard was the breeze. She took a coin from her pocket and looked at the gravestone. She thought, ‘Sara, your brother is seeking justice for you. If you want to go with him, show heads.’

The coin flew high and then landed heads up.

Aria said with a smile, “Once this is over, he’ll take you home.”

She didn’t linger. Picking up the coin, she stood and said, “I’m heading to the Solemnity Guild now.”

Wilson nodded firmly. “We go together.” They had come this far, and there was no way he would let her face the Solemnity Guild alone.

Gazing at the weathered grave, Wilson’s thoughts drifted to the chilling rumors about the Solemnity Guild. It was a place that gathered orphans from around the world and molded them into killers.

Wilson suddenly thought that maybe Aria had grown up there. When she came back, they all said it was a baby swap. Silvia grew up with the Saxon family, while Aria with Silvia’s parents.

Wilson thought, ‘If that were true, why did Aria grow up in the Solemnity Guild? What had really happened?’

As they were about to leave, faint footsteps reached their ears. Aria squinted, and she quickly grabbed the bouquet.

The four of them scattered at once, vanishing into the shadows. Wilson followed close behind Aria, crouching with her behind the same bush.

The footsteps grew closer, accompanied by hushed voices. “Curtis.is dead, and Ms. Remar is detained. Why are we out here digging up a grave?”

“Sara is Russell’s younger sister. Only if we find her will he willingly save Ms. Remar. That’s the only way Mr. Tyree Remar will feel secure handing over the Wolfshade Syndicate to him.”

They called it willingness, but in truth, it was a threat.

“Ms. Remar sure has guts. She even dared kill the head of the Solemnity Guild.”

“The map says it’s this way. Find the grave and dig up the remains. Be quick.”

Aria frowned, thinking, ‘How did people from the Wolfshade Syndicate know about this place?’

Sara had always loved flowers. When Aria discovered this meadow, she brought her here at the first chance she got.

Sara said, “If I ever died, I wouldn’t mind being buried here.”

Those words became prophecy. In the end, Aria buried Sara here as she wished.
