The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 218: A Proposal in the Mountains, Proof in the Kitchen
Seeing that things had come to this, Vivian still refused to tell the truth.Disappointment flashed in Derek Sinclair’s eyes.“Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I only hope you can bear the consequences of this matter.”After finishing speaking, Derek turned around and was about to leave.Watching Derek walk toward the gate step by step, Vivian felt her psychological defenses begin to collapse.Finally, at the moment when Derek was about to step out the door, she hurriedly called out, “Second brother, I have something to say!”At least she still had a place to stay now.If the matter was really exposed, let alone remaining in Crestview, she was afraid she would not even be able to see Derek again in the future.Derek stopped, turned around, and looked at Vivian coldly.“Go ahead.”At the same time, in the village.Sebastian Cole used brute force to break the iron chain on Naomi Sinclair’s ankle.“I’ll take you back.”Looking at Sebastian’s serious face, Naomi felt an

The moment the words left Julian’s mouth, Ethan Blackwood’s expression shifted.He turned to Chloe with a frown. “What exactly did you mean by that?”Something Mr. Blackwood had said in the study earlier flashed through his mind. Ethan’s face darkened. “Chloe… is Naomi’s disappearance connected to you?”“What? Mom is missing?” Julian’s voice cracked with pure shock. His small face drained of color. “Dad, why are you just standing there? Send people to look for her right now!”He still hadn’t had the chance to make things right with his mother.His glare locked onto Chloe. “It’s all because of you, you bad woman! You’re the reason Mom disappeared!”In the space of a few sentences, father and son had painted her as the villain.Chloe’s face went white. Her fingers curled tight. “I didn’t do anything. Naomi’s disappearance has nothing to do with me!”“Whether it does or not,” Ethan said flatly, “I’ll have people look into it. We’ll know soon enough.”He took Julian’s hand and led him ups
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 216: A Brick Under the Quilt, a Slip at the Table
If a woman refused to obey, she did not stay the property of one man for long. She was passed around the village until she broke.Boys might be kept. Girls were another matter entirely.None of the women wanted to become a shared toy or a baby-making machine. So they chose the smaller cage.“Better one man than the whole village,” someone said quietly.Naomi felt the words settle like ice in her stomach. Her determination to leave only hardened.She already knew these women would never stand with her. The best she could do was gather whatever information might later become a bargaining chip or a map.“Once you accepted it,” she asked carefully, “did any of you ever leave this place?”The room went still. Every gaze turned toward a soft-faced woman sitting in the corner. Before Naomi arrived, she had been the prettiest girl in the village.Aware of the attention, the woman spoke slowly. “I went to the nearest town once. A very long car ride. They kept me blindfolded the entire wa

Old Mr. Sinclair never finished the sentence. Rage stole the rest of his breath; his face went ashen and he collapsed before anyone could catch him.“Grandfather!”The three brothers cried out together.Marcus Sinclair’s decision was instant. “Nathan, stay with him. Derek and I will find her.”He gave Nathan no time to argue. He simply seized Derek’s arm and pulled him toward the door.Halfway there, a face flashed through Derek’s mind.Could it be her?He forced the emotion down. “Brother… I think Vivian might be involved. I’m going to her place.”Marcus didn’t argue. He only told Derek to be careful, then took men and raced after the trail of the black car.He had suspected Vivian for some time. Yet she had left the Sinclair family months ago. Where would she find the money to hire professionals to snatch Naomi? Still, every lead had to be chased. He could only hope Derek would learn something useful.Derek drove straight to the apartment building where Vivian now lived alone.Count
The Wife They Rejected Was a Billionaire Heiress Chapter 214: No Trace of Naomi
News reports about women taken and never found rose unbidden in Naomi’s mind. Some had lived with permanent injuries for decades. Others had simply vanished.This place was deep in a remote mountain area. Even if she managed to free herself, she had no idea which way led out. Unknown wild animals roamed the slopes. How was she supposed to leave?Despair crept in, quiet and cold.“No. I have to get out of here.”After assigning people to investigate and track every lead, Marcus Sinclair waited alone in the study for results.The moment he sat down, restless, tangled emotions forced him back to his feet. He could only pace the length of the room.He sorted through everyone connected to Naomi, searching for the key.“Could it really be Ethan Blackwood?”A second later he shook his head, rejecting the idea.If it had been Ethan, his goal would clearly have been reconciliation. In that case he would never have agreed to the custody paperwork transfer for Lily. And if it had been him, there

The two younger men fell silent the moment their leader returned. They stepped forward with forced, awkward smiles, shooting Naomi Sinclair sharp warning glances that told her to keep her mouth shut.A jolt of dread went through her. All she could do was pin her remaining hope on the buyer.The leader grinned and shifted aside, revealing the middle-aged man waiting behind him.Despair flooded Naomi’s chest. Her pretty face went tight; she deliberately hardened her expression into something fierce and unapproachable.“Oh, still fighting?” The old man’s voice was thick with amusement. “I like a woman who needs conquering.” He licked his lips, eyes gleaming, and rubbed his dirty hands together as he advanced on her one slow step at a time.Naomi’s stomach turned. “Get away from me.”“Do you understand that what you’re doing is illegal? Let me go right now. My family is not someone you can afford to cross.”A sharp slap cracked through the mountain air, startling birds from the trees.Bur
