?Chapter 914: 441 bundles of light_3 Chapter 914: 441 bundles of light_3 Hellena Groove sucked in a breath, gripping Aubree Groove’s arm tightly, her whole body about to cling on to her.
“Aubree, you are so good to me.”
Titi Groove hugged Aubree’s other arm: “Aubree, Master McKay has been pretty good to you, and that puts me at ease.”
She felt awkward calling him Brother McKay; clearly, he was nice to them only because of Aubree.
Titi was self-aware.
Aubree fondly patted both of their heads, “You two, always thinking such nonsense.”
Hellena took out her phone from her bag and dialed Sanny Groove: “Our older sister must have forgotten Aubree’s birthday.
I need to remind her.”
Awkwardly, no one picked up the phone.
“Perhaps our older sister is busy; we’ll call back later.”
Big sister wasn’t the same fiery-tempered woman she once was.
After going through a serious illness, her personality had also changed.
...
Hellena wasn’t fooled; she sensibly perceived the change in her older sister, but she couldn’t figure out why.
Milana Alvarez had been waiting up all night.
As soon as Aubree got home, she immediately pulled her aside: “Miss, Lidya Linggo received a call in the middle of the night yesterday and left, not to be seen since.
I’ve tried to call her multiple times but there’s been no answer.
Surely, nothing’s happened to her?”
After Xenia Groove’s issue implicated Lidya Linggo, Maggie Woods could no longer trust her and firmly kicked her out.
With no place to go, a compassionate Aubree took her in.
It so happened that Anaya had recently returned to her hometown to take care of her sick father.
Lidya stayed back to help Milana look after the three children.
Milana and Lidya got along well, so she was quite worried about her.
Aubree reassured her: “Don’t worry, I’ll have someone check.”
Just at this moment, Aubree received a call from Kelly Martinez.
She glanced at it before making her way to the balcony with her phone.
“Madon Linggo and Peter Aria have been investigating a woman named Nikita Parker lately.
Do you know who she is?”
Aubree looked up, watching as the snowflakes fell from the sky, lightly landing on her hair and eyelashes, dampening them.
Fleeting fragments of memory came and went in her mind.
A chaotic train station filled with noise and clamor.
Under a hanging hood, the woman’s panicked yet stunning face came into view.
“Who is she?” Aubree asked.
Kelly responded, “It’s quite interesting investigating this woman.
If we discover her whereabouts, it’s sure to unravel spectacular drama.
The Frosts and the Arias will undoubtedly face off.
But, frankly speaking, I don’t think the refined Arias can outmaneuver the cunning Frosts.”
There was a crisp crunch of an apple bite resonating over the phone.
“But, it’s also not certain.
The cornered rabbit will bite too, let alone Peter Aria.”
He is a coiled dragon.
“Gabriella Linggo has regained consciousness, and all truths now stand exposed.
Unfortunately, it seems she won’t make it through.
I’m really curious about the outcome, aren’t you the least bit curious?”
Kelly’s mind was in disarray.
Something felt wrong, but she had not slept well recently and her sluggish brain refused to dwell on it.
“What about Lidya Linggo?” Aubree asked.
“She’s reported a case.
This has ended up involved with a fire incident from thirteen years ago.
A person who was supposedly dead for thirteen years has suddenly shown up, a plot even a storytelling event would not dare to weave.
As the only witness, the police will definitely protect her well.
Don’t worry too much, but I still find it strange.”
Kelly massaged her temple: “Nikita Parker disappeared in Pethkids thirteen years ago.
What exactly happened thirteen years ago?”
Callista had also died thirteen years ago.
The timeline of both incidents was shockingly close.
These two people, who were seemingly unrelated, somehow seemed off to Kelly.
She would have to dwell more on this and see if she could dig up more clues.
What exactly happened thirteen years ago?
Aubree laughed: “Everyone is so obsessed with the past, but what difference would the so-called truth make?”
“This is just your Buddhist philosophy, which I can’t say is good or bad as it’s your own pursuit.
But the truth about what happened thirteen years ago needs to be ascertained.
Innocent people should not be wronged, and those who commit evil should not go unpunished.”
Kelly continued: “Only inaction can lead to no change.
Take Nikita Parker, for example.
What if she’s an innocent victim?
There might be even more victims in this case, enduring in silence unnoticed for the past thirteen years, waiting for a beam of light.
You might not be that beam of light, but you cannot stop it.”
Aubree paused, her gaze gradually deepening.
You might not be that beam of light, but you cannot stop it.
Where was her beam of light?
Hellena, who was scrolling on her phone, looked at the trending topics and sank into thought.
The last heavy snowfall in Pethkids was from thirteen years ago.
Why was it thirteen years ago?
Could her older sister have remembered wrong?
