Megan felt like her world had collapsed indeed. "Everyone, excuse me." Megan ran away as fast as she could, and her biological mother chased after her. She hurried to the front door, hoping to catch the man before he left. However, by the time she arrived, she couldn't say a word to him; she could only watch him get into his car and vanish. "Megan?" Megan turned around and saw her mother catching up to her. She went to her and cried her heart out. "Mother, let's go home." "Fine, let's go," her mother responded as they walked back to where she had parked her car and drove away with Megan. Meanwhile, everyone at the venue found the situation awkward. Both the main characters of the event had left, so there was no point in staying any longer. "Hmm, seems like Aug will visit us soon then," Yiyi Zheng commented, catching the attention of all the Chens, who glared at her. "What did you say?" "That's right, what are you smiling for?" Madam Chen, who had kept her composure the whole t
On his way to his office, he noticed Edward, who was just on his way out. “I need you to do something,” Victor said as he dragged the man back inside his study. “Master, is something wrong?” Edward inquired, feeling the intense energy being released by his master. “Starting tomorrow, stay with Megan,” Victor said, as he didn't have any other option. He needed someone to stay with the girl whom he could trust. He did trust his people, but he needed more assurance. “Master, is something going to happen to Miss Megan?” Edward inquired, but didn’t receive an answer. However, seeing how Victor looked so anxious, it was obvious that something was about to happen. “Then, I’ll prepare my things.” Chen’s residence “Charles, have you lost your mind? When you said someone better than Sophia, we thought someone…” Chairman Chen exploded in anger as he faced his son and cousin. He didn’t expect his son would dare put a name back on his cousin’s name. “You bastard, you dare use my son.” “Use y
The next day, Megan was busy preparing breakfast with her mother when both of them heard a knock on the door. When Megan went over to open the door, she smiled happily to see the man standing with some flowers. “Good morning.” Victor said as he gave the flowers to the girl and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Good morning. I didn’t expect you to come so early.” Megan said as she welcomed the man with open arms. She grabbed the flowers and invited him inside the apartment. “Mom, Aug is here.” “Welcome, we still haven’t finished breakfast. We didn’t expect you to come so early.” “It’s fine, don’t worry.” Victor said as he went to take a seat while Megan went to prepare some refreshments for him. As he sat down, he noticed how the two interacted with each other. They had the same harmonious relationship he has with his mother. Moments later, all preparations were over. The three of them enjoyed their meal together when they suddenly heard another knock on the door. “Hmm, it must be
Moments later, there was a knock on the door. “What?” Chairman Chen shouted as he was in no mood to see anyone at that moment. “My cousin, what have you done?” Shen Chen said as he arrived fashionably at the company. “What are you doing here?” Chairman Chen said as the man is not supposed to be allowed in any of the Chen's properties. “Well, I came to make a deal with you,” he said as he watched as the man was slowly taking his bait. “What do you want?” Chairman Chen said as he sat down, all ears to what the man had to say. “Well, it's like this…” Victor, on the other hand, was busy in his office working on the documents with Lucas by his side when his phone suddenly rang, and he received some unpleasant news. “What?” Lucas looked shocked to see the man storm out of the office and leave his phone still ringing. He grabbed the phone and answered it. “Hey, what happened?” “Master Lucas, Miss Antonia, she accidentally slipped and is on her way to the hospital.” With that, Lucas
After breakfast, Victor went out to bathe in the river. Despite it being cold, he didn’t mind as he enjoyed every moment. “Are you crazy? You’ll get sick!” Antonia yelled as she watched the man play around like a child. Victor ignored her and even took off his clothes. At that moment, he realized what he just did, but it was already too late to redo what he did. “What?” Antonia was in shock, horrified by the scars she saw all over the man’s body. “What happened?” Victor said not a word, he only took off his shirt and placed it on a rock. Seeing the man was not willing to answer her, Antonia took it upon herself to dive in and get some answers. “Ah, it’s cold.” “What are you doing?” Victor said as he watched the girl chase after him. “Are you crazy?” “You’re the crazy one.” Antonia said as she wanted to get a clear view of the man’s scars. For some reason, some of the scars were familiar to her. “You, come here!” “Crazy, get away from me.” Victor said as he continued to run away
When Victor arrived at the Chen residence, he saw the number of people who had come by. Many of the Chen family relatives were present, showing their support in the investigation. Chairman Chen looked like he had aged overnight due to not hearing any good news lately. With his son's engagement being canceled, his daughter's kidnapping, and now his wife falling sick from all the stress, he felt like he could just dig his own grave and be done with everything. As the butler and his personal assistant explained the details of the situation, his attention was caught by a man who swiftly and coldly entered the house. Everyone made a clear path for the man and avoided looking at him. Who would be pleased to see him when his fiancée was missing? "Aug, we..." Chairman Chen was tongue-tied and couldn't find the right words to explain the situation. It was obvious that they were at fault, as Edward didn't spare them by venting his anger. Despite Edward being just his master's assistant, he was
"What took you so long!" Sophia angrily said to the servants and guards that had just arrived. She was so furious at them that she made sure that once everything was over, all of them were kicked out. "Miss, I'm sorry. I went to call the guards. I tried to stop him, but he won't listen." The servant explained as she even showed the wounds on her arms from when Charles pushed her aside, causing her to hit one of the huge vases. "What happened to your arms?" Sophia now realized why the servant took a while; Charles must have attacked her, resulting in her being wounded. "You b*stard! How dare you hurt them." "Please, as if you never laid your hands on your servants." Charles bluntly said, as there was no point in hiding the truth anymore and showing kindness towards Sophia, as there was nothing between them anymore. At the same time, Charles didn't care what people thought of Sophia anymore. He would happily spread rumors of how crazy she was, and he wouldn't care. "You b*stard! Take
Charles spent the next two days trying his best to find Megan. He ignored all of Mei's messages and calls. He didn't even show his face to his parents at all. He realized how severe the situation was as they still had not found any clues to her whereabouts. Since the Chen family failed to find her within 24 hours, Victor began his search as well with the help of those who wished to gain his trust. A lot of people began to spread the news, and not only were the police on their feet to search for the girl, even young able heirs and heiresses were on the lookout as well. "Where could she be? My whole family has searched for her." "Please, my family has connections with the police, and they're saying she's long gone." "Then, is there a chance that Mr. Augustine might look for another bride?" Since there weren't any news of Megan at all, many families turned their efforts to train their daughters and nieces. They hired teachers who would shape their children to be the next Megan. Char
