Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 717:

Daniela’s voice remained calm, though her mind raced.

“How long has she been gone?”

Josie spoke rapidly, her words tumbling out in a rush.

“She left after lunch, saying she’d be back for dinner. It’s nine now, and she hasn’t returned. I’ve tried calling her, but there’s no answer.”

A deep line of concern appeared on Daniela’s forehead.

Just then, a knock echoed through the room.

It was a member of the Wesker family. Given Nina’s complicated ties with the Dury family, they were worried she’d be overlooked at the wedding, so they had brought a lavish set of gold jewelry as a gift.

Lillian greeted them with a serene smile, walking to the door.

“The bride is busy with last-minute preparations. She’s out getting a beauty treatment and won’t be coming down to thank you personally.”

As Lillian spoke, the guest’s expression changed as they read something on their phone. Their demeanor turned grave, and they showed the message to Lillian.

The message was blunt and direct: Nina, the bride, had been missing for eight hours leading up to the wedding.

Daniela moved closer and glanced at the name of the sender.

It was Jarrett Morphew, a reporter from the gossip outlet, Bubble Entertainment.

Without saying a word, Daniela spun on her heel and walked inside to make a call.

“Buy Bubble Entertainment in the next ten minutes. Have a reporter named Jarrett Morphew call me,” she ordered.

Lillian smiled politely at the confused guest.

“We’ve received your gift. She’ll be at the wedding by eight tomorrow morning, for sure. Goodbye.”

Without another word, she closed the door with finality.

“Daniela, what’s happening?”

At that moment, Daniela’s phone buzzed—Sammy was calling.

“Ms. Harper, is Nina really missing?” Sammy’s voice crackled with concern, though he maintained a respectful tone.

Daniela didn’t hesitate.

“Yes.”

A brief silence lingered before Sammy spoke again.

“May I ask why?”

Daniela’s response was cool and measured.noveldrama

“It’s a family matter, and I’m not going into details. If the wedding is still happening tomorrow, you’ll know.” With that, Daniela ended the call without hesitation. Almost immediately, Jarrett’s call came through.

“How did you get wind of Nina’s disappearance?” she asked.

Jarrett was taken aback by how quickly Daniela had assumed control. It had only been ten minutes since the message went out, and already, Bubble Entertainment had a new owner. Claiming he wasn’t afraid would have been a lie.

In a hesitant tone, Jarrett responded, “An unknown number called me. I traced it back to the owner.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “It’s someone from the Dury family. Her name is Natalie.”

Lillian couldn’t hold back a burst of laughter.
