Chapter 104
Meredith froze on the spot. She looked at that line of words as if she had seen something horrible.
No one else knew about that except Parker and the man who was there that day.
So, did the man send this message?
Meredith's body trembled at the thought of what had happened in that dark room. All her blood seemed
to rush to her brain, making it impossible for her to think.
What was he going to do?
The phone didn't ring again, but Meredith looked at it as if she saw a time bomb.
Should she go and see that man and get him out, or...should she pretend that she didn't see the
message?
She was at a mess.
A long time later, just as Meredith felt her head was about to explode because of this sudden
misfortune, another text message came.
"The table in the far left corner of the coffee shop downstairs your company. Come alone. I'll wait for
you to get off work."
Meredith was shocked. This man not only knew her number but also knew where she worked. These
days, where exactly was he? Was he secretly watching her?
Meredith shuddered. The feeling of being observed by someone in the dark made one tremble with
fear.
After texting, Nova collapsed in the car.
"Mr. Long, can you let me go now?"
As soon as she came out of the hospital that day, she was kidnapped by this group of people. After
talking to them, she knew that they had a grudge against Derek. Because she had once boasted that NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
she was Derek's woman outside, so she became their target.
Nova was almost used by them to threaten Derek, but she was quick-witted. She suddenly thought of
Meredith and confessed that she was pregnant with Derek's child. In this way, she saved herself.
"Wait until we get her."
Mr. Long said. Nova walked into the coffee shop reluctantly and waited for Meredith to come.
Meredith hesitated for a long time in the company. Seeing that time was running out, she gritted her
teeth and decided to go.
If she missed this opportunity, who knew what that man would do in the future?
However, Meredith was also worried that this person would hatch a sinister plot, so she found a
colleague to accompany her. Given the fact that that person asked her to go alone, Meredith asked her
colleague to wait outside.
If she didn't come out, someone could call the police.
When she was ready, Meredith walked down the stairs and saw the number on the elevator getting
smaller and smaller. Her heart beat faster and faster. In the end, it almost made her breathless.
"I'm going over, please." Meredith smiled at her colleague and walked to the coffee shop.
According to the text message, Meredith looked around and found the leftmost corner of the coffee
shop. It was almost a blind spot.
Only by sitting down could she see who that person was.
Meredith took a deep breath and walked over. When she saw the person sitting there, she was
stunned.
Nova sat on the chair, fiddling with the spoon of coffee. It looked like she was waiting for someone.
"Nova, why are you here?" Meredith was shocked.
"What, are you surprised?"
Nova smiled wryly. "Haven't you guessed yet?"
Meredith's face turned pale and many clues came to mind.
MS Hotel, Nova's clothes and the identity they exchanged that night.
"That man went to find you?" Meredith soon understood something.
She was so panicked that day. Her clothes were torn by that person, and she had forgotten to get them
back. So, when that person saw what she left behind, he must have misunderstood her identity.
"Who is it? Who is that person?"
Nova didn't answer, but Meredith already had an answer in her mind...
Derek.
At the Xaviers banquet that day, he was also at the MS Hotel because he was the host. With his status,
he would definitely stay in the presidential suite. And... This also explained why Derek suddenly made
the unusual decision to bring Nova into the Xavier Group.
It was because he mistook her identity as someone else and thought that the woman he slept with was
Nova. So, he wanted to make it up to her.
The truth was suddenly revealed in front of her eyes, and Meredith was a little stunned. Just as she
opened her lips and wanted to ask something else, a hand reached out from behind and covered her
mouth and nose suddenly.
Soon, dizziness hit her brain. Before Meredith fainted, the last thing she saw was Nova's smug smile.
Derek had just returned to the company when he saw someone walking anxiously at the top floor
entrance.
It was no one else but the colleague who had just agreed to help Meredith keep an eye on the coffee
shop. However, not long after Meredith went in, she received a message that there was an urgent plan
to hand in.
She thought that it was okay for her to leave for a while. She did not expect that when she came back
again, Meredith disappeared. After asking around, no one saw her.
"What's wrong?"
"Xavier, Mr. Xavier, I'm looking for Meredith."
Derek frowned. "Why didn't you call her?"
"No one answered the phone. Was she...in danger?" The colleague felt very uneasy. If something
happened to Meredith because of her, she could not bear the responsibility.
The atmosphere around Derek became much quieter. He took out his cell phone and called Meredith,
but no one answered.
She should be working in the company now.
"What exactly happened?" Derek had a hunch that this person in front of him may know something.
Being stared at by the man's sharp eyes, Meredith's colleague did not dare to hide anymore and told
the whole story.
"Damn it, you promised someone something. How could you say that without doing it?"
Derek was in a hurry after hearing what the colleague said.
There must be a reason why Meredith would say that. He ran downstairs and looked around the coffee
shop. He didn't see Meredith. Then, he asked the waiters, but they didn't know.
The man's dark eyes were cold and angry. What exactly happened? What happened to Meredith now?
Then, Derek called Damian. Derek got into the car and asked him to find out where Meredith was and
who she had contacted before she disappeared.
Damian became very nervous because of Derek's solemn tone and he didn't dare to cold-shoulder it.
He quickly found out the number that Meredith was in contact with and it made him feel a little familiar.
Did this phone number belong to the boss of the real estate company that Xavier Group bought a while
ago?
The company was not well managed and could not compete with Xavier Group's real estate division. It
was now bankrupt. Back then, Derek took a fancy to a piece of land the company bought and he
acquired it.
The boss, who had always regarded Derek as an enemy who caused his bankruptcy, made a lot of
nuisance calls.
"Boss, I suspect that Miss Mason was kidnapped!"
