Meeting You Was Fate

Chapter 4 Crisis Of The Zhou Family

After leaving the hotel, Mandy hailed a taxi to go home.

It was still early in the morning, and the golden sun shone on the city, bringing color to it.

But for Mandy, today was a painful new beginning after the horrors of last night.

What awaited her was a dark life.

Subconsciously, Mandy reached for her collarbone to feel her necklace. Daniel had given it to her as a gift three years ago, and she had been wearing it ever since. It was by no means an expensive piece of jewelry, but it was the gift she cherished the most. But much to her surprise, her neck was bare.

'Where is the necklace? Where is it?!'

Mandy was struck by a chill in her heart. She felt like she was sinking into a bottomless abyss.

She had even lost her necklace!

Last night, her relationship with Daniel had ended, but now that the necklace he had given her was gone, she felt like things were truly over between the two of them.

At JS International In the CEO's office, Nathan Jin was reading some documents.

However, these weren't official documents; instead, they contained information about Mandy.

After reading through them for ten minutes, Nathan knew everything about Mandy from her childhood– all the way to her adulthood, including all the achievements she had ever had.

She had won a lot of piano awards and had been the champion of the last Midsummer Night's Dream piano competition. This competition was held every five years, and it was the most prestigious and

famous piano competition in the world. Naturally, it always attracted many participants, so the fact that Mandy had been able to stand out among them spoke of her skill.

That night, if she hadn't played that particular song, Nathan might never have found her.

Now, after reading all about her, he confirmed that his guess had been right. Mandy was the one he had been searching for.

'Four years! I've been looking for her for four years!'

A ruthless smile grew at the corners of Nathan's mouth.

He casually put the files into the drawer on the left side of the desk.

The game had begun.

Everyone's fate would be rewritten.

At MC Garden Mandy returned home in a hurry. She had a bad feeling growing in the pit of her stomach.

When she pushed the door open, she saw several policemen restraining her father. Behind them stood Madeline Zhao, who was desperately trying to pull the policemen away. She was afraid that they were going to arrest her husband.

As soon as Mandy realized what was happening, she couldn't help but burst into tears. She immediately knew that something must have happened to the company.

"Sweetie, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't realize that he couldn't be trusted. Be careful of Daniel..."

Before Stanley Zhou could finish what he was saying, he was dragged away by the policemen.

Mandy ran, trying to catch up with them, but the police had already forced her father into the elevator.

Her face streaked with tears, and she hurriedly rushed down the staircase. But when she arrived at the ground floor, she saw that the police car had already driven off.

Ignoring all the people around her, who were gossiping and whispering among themselves, Mandy slumped to the ground and burst into tears.

'Why was Dad taken away by the police?'

She suddenly remembered that her mom was still at home, so she quickly ran back upstairs to their apartment.

In the middle of the large living room, Madeline was sitting motionlessly like a doll. Her eyes were vacant, making her look as if she had lost her soul.

"Mom, what happened? Why was Dad taken away by the police?" Mandy squatted down in front of her mom and shook her by the shoulders.

"The company has had a debt crisis. Mr. Liu created some fake accounts, and six million in funds has been unaccounted for. The inspection committee is still investigating. However, all of the documents were signed by your father..."

Without saying more, Madeline clenched her fists and trembled with anger.

Before getting home, Mandy had been wondering how to tell her parents about her discovery of Daniel's affair with Celine. However, it had never crossed her mind that they would tamper with the company so soon. It seemed that they had planned everything in advance.

"How despicable!" Mandy was so furious that she started to cry.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Seeing this sudden change in Mandy both frightened and bewildered Madeline.

"Baby, what's wrong with you?" she asked softly.

Mandy hesitated for a long time, chewing over the words in her mouth before she spoke.

Finally, she stammered, "Last night, I found Daniel and Celine having sex in his apartment."
