Own Fate novel Chapter 500

Chapter 500

“Ms. Miller, is this the bracelet you were looking for?” the staff member asked.

“It was found near the dining table. Benji saw it and left it with me.”

“Oh, no need to thank me, it’s my duty.”

Aubree had asked the estate manager and recovered her bracelet.

“Bree, didn’t you leave with Nina earlier?” Just after finishing his talk with Darius and coming down the stairs, Bowen saw Aubree.

She lifted her wrist. “It was crowded just now, and the bracelet fell off. I came back to look for it. Are you done with your business?”

“Yeah, all wrapped up. Let’s go back together.” Bowen naturally reached for her hand. “Kelvin, drive yourself.”

Kelvin thought, ‘So I’ve just been ruthlessly abandoned, huh?”

Aubree stifled a laugh. “I told Nina to bring the car around to the front. She should be almost there by now.”

The Wilson family had already received news of the plan’s “success” before Aubree returned to the Walton family’s estate, and had left first to avoid suspicion.

The three of them walked out of the estate. The gate was deserted.

“Is Nina delayed?” Aubree murmured, pulling out her phone to call.

The phone rang twice, then was hung up. When she tried calling again, it wouldn’t go through.

Bowen noticed her sudden change in expression. “What’s wrong?”

Aubree replied, “Nina didn’t answer… no, now it won’t go through at all.”

Bowen’s brow furrowed sharply. The two exchanged a glance. Something had happened.

“The parking garage. That’s where I last saw her.” Aubree immediately let go of Bowen’s hand and ran toward the garage.

Kelvin was still trying to process what was happening.

Bowen thought deeper than Aubree. If something happened to Nina right after she split up from Aubree, and hardly anyone here knew who Nina even was, it made no sense for someone to target her. She wasn’t valuable enough to make a move against.

Which meant this wasn’t about Nina at all. She might’ve been mistaken for someone else. The real target could’ve been Aubree from the beginning.

He said, “Kelvin, contact Mark. Tell him Nina is in trouble. Get in touch with Mr. Walton and request surveillance footage from the garage.”

After giving instructions, Bowen quickly followed Aubree.

When they reached the garage, they found only the car keys lying on the ground. There were no signs of a struggle.

Nina had vanished…

“Was Nina kidnapped?” Aubree’s expression shifted. She thought, ‘Who would want to kidnap Nina? If anything. I’m the one they’d want to kidnap!”

“Don’t panic. Nina has a tracker on her. And with her skills, if she was taken that easily, there must’ve been unusual circumstances.” Bowen tried to

calm her.

Aubree had been through a lot lately and matured significantly.

“Then hurry. See where Nina’s signal is!” Aubree grabbed his arm anxiously.

Her mind was already spinning. She wasn’t sure who did it. Maybe it was the Wilson family or the Diamonde family. Or it might be someone else.

Aubree clenched her fist. “I don’t think the Wilson family is innocent in this.”

She added, “From the moment I ran into them today, Carmen’s attitude was strange. No matter what I said or did, she didn’t show any strong reaction. Of course, it’s possible she’s just gotten better at hiding her emotions.”

The Diamonde and Lawson families, as problematic as they might be, likely wouldn’t go as far as kidnapping. The Wilson family was the most suspicious.

Alice and Ronald likely wouldn’t act directly. Trevor wasn’t even in Rithol City right now. Carmen and the others had left the party later than Aubree. And there was no point for them to kidnap Nina.

Aubree had no more patience for their false politeness. “You better hope I don’t find out this was your doing.”

Finding Nina was the priority. Aubree ignored Carmen and the others, got in Bowen’s car, and left with him immediately.
