The man in the suit did not back down<b>, </b>however. “Miss Smith<b>, </b><b>don’t </b>make things difficult for
<b>us</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>
“What do <b>you </b>mean by that? Are you going to kidnap someone <b>in </b>broad daylight?” Yvonne
snapped.
“Not me<b>, </b>but I can’t guarantee if the chairman will send someone else or not<b>.</b>”
That was a tant threat, and Mnie’s expression darkened. Cedric would stop at nothing <b>to </b>achieve his goals. Contemting the situation briefly<b>, </b>she nodded and replied, “Fine<b>, </b>I’ll go <b>see </b>him.”
After saying that, she moved to take Meredith from Yvonne. However, perhaps tired from themotion, Meredith clung tightly to Yvonne’s neck and refused to let go. Mnie could only coax her with soft whispers.
With the mall being so crowded and music ying, she softly told Yvonne, “You go don’t message you within two hours<b>, </b>call the police for me<b>.</b><b>” </b>
first. <b>If </b><b>I </b>
Yvonne’s pupils dted. She looked at Mnie, but Mnie had already turned and followed
the man.
At LeapCo’s branch office, Lee pushed open the office door and said with a serious expression, ” The chairman has gone looking for Mnie and Merry.”
Eugene was in the middle of a conference call. He had been staying at the office almost every night due topany issues. When he heard what Lee said, his gaze turned solemn and he interrupted the meeting. “What did you say?”
“The chairman got someone to bring Mnie and Merry to the hotel.”
“Who told you this?”
“William. He called me and told me that <b>if </b>you don’t want anything to happen to Mnie and her daughter, it’d be best to go to the hotel now. He said the chairman is very angry.”
The air surrounding Eugene’s dropped sharply. He <b>did </b>not doubt William, but the <b>fact </b>that he was the one who informed him meant he and Cedric were scheming against him.
It also meant that they might really do something to Mnie and Merry because of him. Eugene did not hesitate and immediately walked out <b>of </b>the office.
The night was calm as <b>the </b>car came <b>to </b>a stop in front of the hotel<b>. </b>The man <b>got </b><b>out </b><b>of </b>the car and opened the door for Mnie. She <b>was </b>a bit relieved that Cedric had <b>at </b><b>least </b>not gone <b>crazy </b>enough <b>to </b><b>take </b>them to some remote ce.
<b>This </b>ce was <b>still </b>in the central district and was bustling with people. She did not need <b>to </b>worry about extreme situations for the time being.
Following the man to the top floor<b>, </b>she noticed that William was already waiting there<b>. </b>He wore his usual fake smile. “Good evening, Miss Smith. <b>I </b>told you we’re fated.”
Mnie’s expression remained cold as she coldly replied, “Mr. Thames, so you’re the one who arranged for me to be brought here. If this is what you call fate, then it’s truly a coincidence.”
She deliberately emphasized the words ‘arranged to be brought here‘ to signal <b>to </b>him that she did not want any more of his hypocritical pleasantries.
William remained indifferent. “I misspoke. But Miss Smith, there’s no need to be nervous. The chairman <b>just </b>wants to have dinner with you.”
With that, he pushed open the door behind him, revealing arge dining room. Mnie’s eyes flickered, but she kept her lips pursed as she followed William in.
Meanwhile, a Maybach stopped at the hotel downstairs. Eugene got out of the car and strode toward the entrance with a stern expression. A turbulent storm was brewing in his eyes.
