Own Fate novel Chapter 344

“Everyone there stuck to the same story. After the deal fell through, they went their separate ways. They knew nothing about Ms. Cherniavsky’s whereabouts and denied any involvement. The private club’s surveillance footage also clearly showed that Tengu Gruppe’s people left first.”

Birgitte had gone missing at the private club.

Aubree seized on this lead. “Has anyone checked who owns the club?”

This really hadn’t crossed Josiah and Harris’s minds. After all, that club was one of the most prestigious establishments in Südlichen Strand. Surely they wouldn’t stoop to something so shady. That’d just be shooting themselves in the foot.

“Not yet,” Josiah said, shaking his head.

Aubree ordered, “Look into it.”

Harris nodded hurriedly.

A sudden thought struck Aubree. “Josiah, recall all the men monitoring Tengu Gruppe and let them monitor Milena.”

“Milena?” Josiah said.

“Yes, Milena, the heiress of the Yurchenko family.”

A cold glint appeared in Aubree’s eyes. Tengu Gruppe wouldn’t stoop to kidnapping Birgitte, but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t help someone else do it.

Tengu Gruppe had already partnered with Wilson Group. They were in this together now. Anything that made Aubree’s life harder was a good thing for them.

So when Milena came seeking help under the banner of the Wilson family, Morhan barely hesitated before agreeing. With no risk to himself and clear benefits at stake, it was an easy decision.

Just as Aubree speculated, Milena was behind it.

After learning from Joey, Trevor’s assistant, that Aubree would be tied up all day, Milena instinctively knew this was the perfect moment to strike.

She’d always known Aubree was a formidable opponent, so from the very beginning, she’d set her sights on Birgitte instead, and had already conducted a thorough investigation into her.

Simply put, Birgitte was an unfavored daughter born in a remote mountainous area. As the eldest child in an impoverished household, she was resented by her parents for being a girl. She was frequently beaten and scolded, and often went hungry.

Thankfully, the village chief was a kind man. He gave her food, warned her parents, and even made sure she went to school. Without his help, she might not have even survived childhood.

A wealthy old man in their village was looking for a bride. What better way to fund their son’s wedding than by selling off their daughter?
