Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chloe knew she had to meet with Giselle.

Determined, she sent a message to a mysterious Facebook account, asking to meet Giselle. After a brief acknowledgment, the profile picture went dark.

With her thoughts in order, Chloe headed to the set to check on Philip and Floyd's performances.

She scanned the area but didn't see Rena anywhere. When Philip finished his scene and came down, Chloe approached him. "Hey, Philip, Rena come to see you by earlier? Did you see her?"

Philip, touching up his makeup, nodded. "Yeah, she did. She said hi, but then I had to shoot my scene. She took a call and left."

"Why? Wasn't she looking for you?" Philip looked confused.

Chloe shook her head. "No, she didn't find me. You go ahead with your shoot. I'll keep looking."

A sense of foreboding engulfed Chloe, and she immediately left Philip, turning quickly to find Rena.

The shooting location wasn't very large, nor was it particularly desolate, making it theoretically not difficult to find someone. However, Chloe scoured the entire area, meticulously searching every corner, yet she couldn't find any trace of Rena.

Anxiety began to spread through Chloe's heart, filling her with panic. She hurriedly pulled out her phone and dialed Rena's number. The phone rang repeatedly in her ear, but there was no answer, as if the surrounding air had become heavy.

Step by step, Chloe could no longer suppress the fear within her and started to run around, desperately seeking any possible clue. She kept redialing, hoping the ringtone would lead her to Rena. Finally, not far from the shooting location, in a patch of grass, she accidentally discovered Rena's phone.

Picking up the phone, Chloe knew something was wrong.

Because there were clear signs on the ground that someone had been dragged away.

She thought about calling the police but knew they wouldn't file a missing person report for an adult until 24 hours had passed.

Rena had only been out of sight for about half an hour. Waiting 24 hours could mean Rena would be in serious danger.

Chloe had considered finding out Rena's whereabouts herself, but she had only been in Sovereign City for a few months. With no connections or resources, finding someone in a place like Sovereign City was practically impossible.

Her only option was to seek help from the Martin Family.

Rena was Michael's assistant, and he was the best person to find her.

With this in mind, Chloe called Michael. This was the first time she had called him since returning from Oceancrest City.

The phone rang for a moment before Michael answered.

"Hey, Chloe... What's up?"

"Mic, are you busy right now?" Chloe's use of "Mic" softened Michael's initially stiff tone.

"Not too busy. What's going on?" he replied.

Due to Chloe's relationship with Grant, Michael had been keeping his distance from

her. No matter how attractive she was, he couldn't entertain thoughts about Grant's girlfriend.

Chloe didn't have time to ponder Michael's feelings.

She quickly explained the situation. "Mic, after school, Rena and I went to my company's set to check on the shoot. I turned around for a moment, and Rena disappeared."

"I searched the area and found her phone. There are signs on the ground that she was dragged away."

"Rena is definitely in trouble." Chloe simply voiced her judgment.

Michael, who had been calm, became agitated upon hearing Chloe's words. "What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. Mic, you need to find Rena. I'm afraid she's in danger."

Holding Rena's phone, Chloe was worried. Just as she was about to say more to Michael, a beat-up van suddenly sped out of a nearby parking lot.

Through the tinted windows, Chloe thought she saw Rena desperately banging on the window.

After a brief moment of calm, Chloe told Michael, "Mic, I think I see Rena in a van. Get over here quickly. I'm going to follow them."

After saying this, Chloe quickly hung up. She rushed towards her motorcycle parked nearby, grabbed the helmet and put it on, jumped on the bike, and sped off in pursuit of the van.

On the other end of the line, Michael shouted, "Chloe, I'm on my way. Don't do anything rash."noveldrama

But Chloe had already hung up and didn't hear Michael's warning.

Riding her motorcycle, Chloe chased the van through the night, not daring to let up.

At first, the people in the van didn't notice Chloe following them.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

As they drove further into the outskirts, the roads became emptier, and the van eventually realized they were being followed.

Inside the van, one of the men spoke up. "Shit, there's a woman on a motorcycle chasing us. What do we do?"

Another man replied, "What's the big deal? Let's lead her on. My daughter told me this woman's family is loaded."

"Apparently, she's from a wealthy family. If we're going to kidnap one, might as well take two and get more money."

The man who replied was none other than Rena's father.

He had worked at Quest University but was fired after Lucy's incident.

Chloe had kindly arranged for Tony to find them jobs at the Gibson Group. However, during Kassy's illness, he had developed a gambling addiction, losing all their money and even the funds Rena had set aside for her mother's surgery.

He had also accumulated a large amount of gambling debt.

Desperate for money, he had learned about Rena's close relationship with Michael and repeatedly asked her for money.

Michael had paid off his debts to stop him from bothering Rena.

And Rena had cut ties with him to prevent further harm.

But a man addicted to gambling had lost all sense of morality. After Rena and Kassy blocked all contact with him, he resorted to kidnapping Rena to get money from Michael.

Unexpectedly, just as he shoved Rena into the van, Chloe spotted him. Angus, in a bid to get more money, decided to kidnap Chloe as well.
