Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289 Traveling Together

Riley smiled. “Got it.”

Just as she was about to enter the waiting hall, a figure suddenly approached her, pulling a suitcase.

“Rye!” Vince walked up to her.

Riley’s eyes lit up. “What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Where are you going?”

“It’s not a coincidence. I’m going to Germany with you,” Vince said.

Riley was stunned, and Lara exclaimed in surprise, “You’re going to Germany too?”

“Yes, I’m accompanying Rye. Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve taken a proper vacation, so it’s a good chance to rest,” Vince said.

“But you don’t have to come with me. I can manage on my own…”

Before Riley could finish, Vince interrupted, “W tif09:59

taken the time off. If you’re still in Germany by the time my vacation ends, I’ll come back on my own.”

He knew that only by saying this would Riley feel less burdened.

Riley let out a sigh. “Alright then… thank you.”

“Rye, between us, there’s no need for thanks,” Vince replied gently.

Lara smiled faintly. “Well, I feel better knowing Vince is with you. It’s almost time, go ahead.”

“Let’s go then,” Vince said, looking at Riley.

“Okay,” Riley smiled and pulled her suitcase toward security.

As he walked, Vince glanced at Riley.

This time, I don’t want to miss my chance again.

Back in Carmel, it was because he hadn’t been by her side that Sebastian seized the opportunity.

He wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

No matter what, he would stay close to her. Even if she didn’t love him or want a relationship, it didn’t matter.

He would quietly watch over her, making sure she could see him and think of him whenever she needed.

Not far away, Sebastian watched the two walking side by side, a dark shadow flashing in his eyes.

“Mr. Torres, it’s time to board,” Felix said respectfully.

“Alright.” Sebastian’s gaze sharpened, settling on the ticket and passport in his hand.

Riley, we’ll meet again soon.

They arrived in Hamburg, Germany’s second–largest city.

Since English was widely spoken in Germany, language

wasn’t a barrier.

“Have you arranged your hotel yet?” Riley asked.

I’m staying at the same hotel as you,” Vince said

Riley raised an eyebrow. “How did you know which hotel I’m staying at?”

Vince laughed awkwardly. “Lara contacted me and asked me to check if the hotel was safe in the area. So I booked

a room at the same one.”

Riley felt a warmth in her heart, touched that Lara had secretly done this for her.

“Let’s go then,” she said.

The two arrived at the hotel and checked in.

Their rooms faced each other across a hallway, which was quite convenient.

“What are you planning to do later?” Vince asked.

“I need to go to the police station first, and then visit the places where Samuel was seen back then to see if I can find any clues,” Riley said.

“I’ll go with you,” Vince offered.

Riley didn’t refuse and nodded.

After renting a car locally, they drove to the police station.

Since Riley talked to the embassy before, the German police helped her get the old case files. But after five years, most of the records were gone.

All Riley found in the file was a short note: [A homeless man blocked the car and got dragged off.]

“They didn’t write down the homeless man’s name?” Riley asked.

“If there was a name, it should have been recorded. Since it wasn’t, it’s likely he had no name or couldn’t clearly state his name,” the officer said. “Many homeless people have mental issues.”

Riley gasped.

Maybe Samuel suffered a brain injury.

Is that why he became homeless in Germany and never reached out to anyone–not the military, his family, or even the embassy?

After leaving the police station, Riley went to the specific location shown in the video Wren had provided.

After five years, the area hadn’t changed much and still looked similar to what was seen in the video.

When Riley reached a corner of the roadside, she stopped and stared at the empty spot for a long time.

Her mind couldn’t help but replay the scene of Samuel being dragged and thrown there.

At that time, Samuel couldn’t even struggle or resist.

Samuel was always so strong, yet in the video, he looked so weak, utterly helpless.

“What’s wrong?” Vince asked, noticing Riley standing there lost in thought.

“My brother was thrown here once,” Riley said slowly.

“Samuel?” Vince was shocked. “How?”

“He tried to stop a car to ask for help, but the people in the car didn’t save him. Instead, he had his bodyguards:59 drag him to the roadside and leave him,” Riley said, tears
