Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 712

Chapter 712

“Margery,” Fryderyk said her name, his tone cold. “What made you come to Huthailia?”

Margery sat there, calm and unfazed. “You wouldn’t believe me anyway. The result would be the same no matter what I say. Just hand me over to the Arressto Investigation Agency.”

Jackson tapped the table. “Doesn’t matter if we believe you or not. You should still talk.”

Margery said, “A friend once told me that if I ever had nowhere to go, I should find her in Mandino City, here in Huthailia.”

Jackson asked, “What’s her name?”

Margery shot back, “You planning to arrest her too?”

Jackson replied, “If she didn’t commit a crime, there’s nothing to arrest her for.”

Margery paused for a couple of seconds. “Her name’s Aria.”

Jackson blinked, surprised. “Wait, who? Aria?”

What a coincidence. Fryderyk stared at Margery for a moment, then something clicked in his mind. He turned to Jackson. “Let her rest for now.”

He didn’t mean lock her up, just let her rest. Jackson leaned in and whispered, “Captain Fletcher, should we notify Arressto about her?”

Fryderyk didn’t respond. That was answer enough. Jackson nodded slightly. “Understood.”

Then they led Margery away. Around 6:30 p.m., Aria showed up at the station. “Did she do something illegal?”

Fryderyk shook his head. “No.”

Margery had used an old identity, and since the station was linked with the Arressto Investigation Agency, they brought her in for questioning first.

Fryderyk said, “Come with me.”

He brought Aria to a break room. Margery looked up and gave a tired smile. “Guess I embarrassed myself in front of you again.”

Somehow, every time she ran into Aria, it was during her worst moments. “Are you hurt?” Aria asked.

“No,” Margery replied.

Aria turned to Fryderyk. “If she didn’t commit a crime, I’m taking her with me.”

“Hold on,” Fryderyk said, pulling out a chair. “Have a seat. Let’s talk first.”

Aria sat down. “Okay. What do you want?”

Sometimes Fryderyk thought Aria’s instincts were razor sharp. With her background and personality, she could’ve easily ended up on the wrong side of the law.

Luckily, she chose to walk the right path. If she hadn’t, a lot of people would’ve gotten hurt. “I need a small favor,” Fryderyk said. “If you agree, Margery walks free.”

Aria asked, “What kind of favor?”

“Come to my grandma’s birthday party.”

Aria looked up. “That’s all?”

“Yeah.”

“Why me?”

“My grandma got it in her head that I like you,” Fryderyk admitted. “She said if you show up, she’ll stop pushing me into blind dates. And if you bring Owen, that’ll help seal the deal.”

“Alright,” Aria said, agreeing without hesitation. It really wasn’t a big deal.

“Thanks,” Fryderyk said.

Margery stood up, still looking a little confused, and followed Aria out. She hadn’t expected it to be this easy.

Right as the car was about to pull off, Fryderyk knocked on the driver’s window. “The Arressto knows she’s here now. Watch yourselves.”

Aria responded calmly, “Got it.”

Margery said, “Maybe you should just hand me over to the Arressto Investigation Agency. If you don’t, they might come after you.”

Aria replied, “They won’t. They already dropped the bounty on you. They’re not trying to kill you anymore. At most, they’ll ask a few questions. Just stay with me and wait for them to show up.”

Margery said, “That’s the third time you’ve saved me.”

Even though Pearl was Aria’s actual sister, just one life-saving act would’ve been enough to cancel out any debt Pearl owed. What Margery owed Aria wasn’t something she could ever fully repay.

As the car pulled away, Fryderyk turned around and headed back into the police station. Allen was standing by the door, giving him a cold stare. “So that’s why you tried to send me off. You were afraid I’d stop you from letting her go.”

Fryderyk nodded without hesitation. “Yeah. It’s not really our job to arrest Margery anyway. Letting her go was doing Aria a favor.”

Allen scoffed. “Aren’t you worried the Arressto people will hold a grudge? Might make things harder next time you need their help.”

Fryderyk said, “I’ll deal with that when the time comes.”

When Tessa heard Aria had taken Margery, she let out a soft laugh. “That girl again. She really doesn’t care who she pisses off, huh? Even the Arressto.”

Dorian asked, “Tessa, should we go bring her back?”

Truth be told, Dorian wasn’t eager to go. He couldn’t beat Aria, and he knew it. Showing up would only get him humiliated.

“No need,” Tessa said, glancing at the calendar. “The higher-ups already dropped the matter. No point in making enemies. I’m taking time off this month anyway. I’ll go check in on her myself.”

Dorian asked, “You still planning to recruit her?”

“Yeah. It’d be a real waste to let someone like her slip away.”

Just then, as Dorian turned to leave, someone rushed past him and headed straight for Tessa. The man didn’t slow down. “Tessa, Margery’s in Mandino City?”

Tessa nodded. “Yeah.”
