"We've found a clue to Miss Mason's disappearance, but..."
The message was sent by Damian, but he didn't make it clear.
Chloe's face darkened. As soon as Meredith's name appeared, she suddenly had the urge to smash the phone in her hand.
Why was this woman omnipresent?
She was practically everywhere in her life, but... what did Damian mean by disappearance?
Was Derek being strange because she was missing?
Chloe's heart was filled with jealousy. Sure enough, Derek hadn't moved on completely. Missing? Maybe that woman had planed this herself to sabotage their engagement ceremony.
Thinking about it, Chloe replied, "Don't butt in this anymore. I'll take care of it."
After sending it, Chloe immediately deleted it so that no one would know she had done this.
It took Damian a long time before he decided to report it. If it was reported, it might affect Derek's engagement and his own future.
But he couldn't just sit back and watch Meredith suffer.
Seeing Derek's reply, Damian thought that he might already know the truth, so he decided to stay out of this. After all, the person who kidnapped Meredith was from the Xaviers. This was a family matter, and he could not interfere more.
After Chloe had done all these things, she went downstairs as if nothing had happened.
Derek had already sat down at the table. When he saw her coming, he asked, "Why are you so late?"
Chloe felt a little guilty and didn't know if Damian would report it, but as long as she could hide it from Derek after the engagement ceremony was held, everything would be easier.
As long as she and Derek got engaged, she could keep this man.
"Nothing. I fixed my makeup."
Chloe smiled and walked gracefully to the dining table, her expression the same as usual.
Derek glanced at her and felt something was wrong with this woman, but since he had no interest in her, he just looked away.
...
Meredith stood by the sea and looked at the place where the blue sky and sea intersected, but her eyes were not focused at all.
This was an island that the Xaviers had bought to develop a holiday base. The scenery here was as good as anywhere else. She could see the cleanest sky and the bluest sea, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it. She just looked at the waves in the distance, her hands on her belly. She couldn't help but clenched her fist.
Her knuckles were a little white because of too much force, but Meredith seemed she didn't notice it at all.
She had been here for three days.
It was so desolate here that she could see none other than the Xaviers, and there was nothing but the vast sea.
It was as if the whole world was against her, and she was the only one who was waiting for the hope that might or might not appear.
She was about to give up。
Meredith's eyes grew darker and darker. She tried to persuade the women who were guarding her, to ask them to understand her difficulties as a mother, hoping that someone would be soft-hearted, but they had no reactions at all, let alone release her.
"Miss Mason, we're just doing what we're told. If anything goes wrong with you, we will be doomed, so you'd better get rid of those thoughts."
