Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla and Damon) novel Chapter 859

"She's not with me. You can't reach her right now?" Nyla asked.

"Yeah, she told me this afternoon she was going to a class reunion tonight. I offered to pick her up, but I got delayed by a meeting. By the time I got there, everyone had already left. And she's not answering my calls," Brandon explained.

Nyla frowned. "Don't panic just yet. Did she say what kind of reunion it was?"

"I think it was a high school reunion," Brandon replied.

"Okay, I'll ask around," Nyla said.

She and Valarie had been in neighboring classes in high school, so she knew quite a few people from Valarie's class.

After hanging up, Nyla messaged someone from the other class to find out who had been at the dinner that night.

When she learned that Valarie was unreachable, her contact immediately began asking around and soon called Nyla back.

"Nyla, I just checked with the class president and others. They said a guy came by and took Valarie. They'd all been drinking a bit, and when they saw Valarie didn't resist, they didn't think much of it—figured he was her boyfriend."

Nyla's heart lurched. "Okay, thanks for the info."

She ended the call and quickly reached out to Brandon, asking him to check the restaurant's security footage for the license plate number of the car that had taken Valarie.

"Got it, thanks, Aunt Nyla," Brandon replied.

He entered the restaurant, where the manager promptly escorted him to the security room, knowing he was there to review the footage.

"Mr. Sumner, this is the footage from around 8:50 p.m.," the manager informed him.

In the footage, Valarie and about a dozen of her classmates walked out of the restaurant. Their faces were slightly flushed, and their gazes were hazy.

Soon after, a black Maybach pulled up outside. A man who looked like an assistant got out and helped Valarie into the car. After closing the door, he returned to the car, and they quickly drove off.

The restaurant's cameras hadn't captured the car's license plate.
