Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 686 Your Wife Eloped With Another Man

"Naughty girl. You can't even recognize my voice. Where is your sister-in-law? Is she back yet? I called her, but her phone is off." Nathan was serious. He pursed his lips as discontent clouded his face. His body was visibly tense.

"What? How would I know? I'm very sleepy right now. Can we discuss this tomorrow?" Nacy was only half-awake.

"Nacy, I am giving you three seconds. Get up right now and check if your sister-in-law is in her room!" His face was angry and hard. Nathan's usually magnetic voice was now rough.

Even though she was only talking to him on the phone, Nacy could feel the anger reverberating from Nathan. Still groggy, she got up and went to check on Mandy.

The bedroom was quiet and dark. The bed was made. It did not look slept in. No one was in the room!

Nacy rubbed her eyes and ran to check the bathroom and the dressing room. There was no sign of Mandy.

What happened? Where was Mandy? Nacy knew that Adrian had gone to visit his grandparents. Did Mandy decide to go with him after work? She hadn't seen Mandy at all. She had been too exhausted when she finally got home. She had taken a quick shower and went straight to bed.

Shivering, she turned on the light and picked up her phone. It took a total of ten seconds for her to react.

'Is my sister-in-law missing?

It is already eleven o'clock at night. Why hasn't Mandy come back home yet?'

Nacy felt a little nauseous. "Brother, are you still there?" she asked.

"Yes, I am," Nathan responded, his voice stony and cold.

"I have bad news. Do you want to know? Your wife has eloped with another man!" Nacy blurted, without waiting for her brother to reply. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Nathan slammed the phone down without a word.

Shrugging, Nacy went back to bed. After all, it was not her wife who had run away. Nobody knew what Nathan was so worried about. Mandy was a grown woman, where else would she go? Nacy didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

As soon as Nathan ended the phone call, his hands immediately reached for his tablet, sitting on the table. His slender fingers slid across the tablet, searching Mandy Zhou's call records. His eyes finally landed on a name, Colin!

Nathan squinted then picked up his phone to call Serge.

Serge had been asleep. But, being a light sleeper, the sound of the phone woke him up. He had developed this habit back when he served on the force. The simple sound of a phone ringing always alerted him.

"Mr. Jin...?" Serge squinted, then instantly sat up when he saw Nathan's name flashing on his phone.

"Where is Mrs. Jin?" Nathan's tone was flat, and his eyes fixed on the number on the tablet.

"Mrs...," Serge started. Hasn't she come home yet?" A bad feeling arose in his stomach. He took a look at the time on the phone. It was already eleven o'clock!

"No. Find her and bring her back right away." Nathan's face darkened as he took his eyes away from the screen and stared at the floor.

"Yes, sir!" Serge replied. After hanging up, he jumped out of bed and quickly changed his clothes. He turned the computer on along with a couple of his planted surveillance cameras. Soon enough, he got a lock on her location. She was at the Summer Villa!

'Isn't Summer Villa where Colin lives? Mandy is at Colin's house at this hour!' Serge thought, surprised.

Irritated, he scratched his head and dialed Nathan's number.

"Mr. Jin, I have found Mrs. Jin. She is in..." Serge hesitated, trailing off. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth. He was afraid that Nathan would explode with rage once he found out.

"Just tell me where she is. Don't hesitate." Nathan looked at the ground, a solemn expression on his face as he walked out of the conference room.

"The Summer Villa," Serge said, gritting his teeth.

"Go and bring her back. Right now!" Nathan's eyes bulged with anger. He already had a hunch that Mandy was at Colin's house. What he could not understand was why she was with her ex-husband at eleven o'clock at night!

Getting in his car, Nathan started it and shifted the gear. He loosened the parking brake and stepped on the gas smoothly. The sports car roared to life in the silence of the night.

Serge also rushed to his destination. When he arrived at the Summer Villa, it was already half past eleven.

He stood outside for a few minutes then rang the bell. Sandra opened the door.

As soon as Colin heard the doorbell, he got out of bed. Putting on his slippers, he walked towards the French window and peaked out. Sandra was trying to stop a young man from entering the Villa.

Sandra failed to stop him. She followed him inside and shouted, "Who are you? You're trespassing!"

"Shut up," Serge said, sourly.

Sandra was filled with rage. Serge glared at her. "Where is Colin? Ask him to hand over Mrs. Jin."

Fear gripped Sandra's body. Her voice trembled as she started to talk, but Colin rushed downstairs.

"Who are you? Why have you broken into my house at midnight?" Colin was wearing pajamas. His hair was messy, and his face was dark. He looked terrible.

He knew who Serge was. He guessed that he had come here looking for Mandy at this hour.

Serge growled and cast a murderous glance in Colin's direction. He rushed towards him and knocked him to the ground like a vicious beast. Having spent time on the force, he was highly skilled. A single blow to the face caused Colin's mouth to bleed.

Sandra screamed with fear and knelt beside Colin. "Mr. Yu, are you all right?" she asked, her breath coming in short gasps.

"Where is Mrs. Jin?" Serge asked, unhappily.

"She is asleep," Colin replied coldly, with a scornful smile on his face.

"What the hell do you want?" Serge frowned, his dark eyes boring into Colin's.
