DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 869
Chapter 869
Following William inside, Melanie saw Cedric sitting in the main seat. She halted
her steps and approached no further.
Cedric looked up, his gaze sharp. “It's so troublesome to get you here,” he
complained, voice deep and cold.
Melanie replied calmly, “Your invitation is not something an ordinary person can
afford.”
Cedric considered his action as an invitation, so Melanie suppressed the
sarcasm in her eyes
and said nothing more.
Cedric narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. A strong pressure that came from
years of being in a dominant position emanated from him as his scrutinizing gaze
slowly moved from her to
Meredith's face.
Meredith was already tired and languishing in Melanie's arms.
Sensing his gaze, Melanie instinctively pressed Meredith closer to her chest.
“She's Eugene's?” he asked.
Melanie watched him warily. “If you already know, why bother asking again?”
Cedric’s expression darkened slightly as displeasure took over his features. He
locked his gaze on Meredith and sneered coldly. “You think I dare not lay a hand
on you?"
His tone had turned icy while his eyes remained fixed on Meredith. “I always
knew you were up to no good. Eugene was stubborn and refused to believe me,
insisting on keeping you by his side. Now look at the sorry state he’s put himself
in, yet he still dares to oppose me.”
Chuckling coldly, Cedric continued, “Since he thinks he’s always right and that
he’s so extraordinary, then I want to see just how “righteous’ he really is!”
His face twisted with anger. Melanie sensed something was amiss. Just as she
was about to send a message to Yvonne to alert her to call the police, she saw
several bodyguards emerging from the inner resting area.
Her expression immediately turned cold. “What's the meaning of this?” she
demanded.
Cedric snorted coldly, his gaze on Melanie disdainful. “I let you escape from the
hospital back then, but do you think you'll get so lucky this time?”
Melanie's mind went blank. She had experienced Cedric's ruthlessness firsthand.
Her grip around Meredith tightened as her body went stiff. The terrifying
sensation she felt in the abortion room at the hospital swept over her once again.
Cedric looked satisfied seeing the panic in her eyes. “Arrange for her to rest in
the guest room,” he said to the bodyguards.
The bodyguards approached Melanie. She now understood what Cedric intended
to do, and her heart raced with nervousness. Looking at the towering
bodyguards, Melanie could not help but think that this was no different from
kidnapping.
This was Melanie's first encounter with such a situation. She tried to keep calm,
but her hands trembled involuntarily as she held Meredith.
“Miss Smith, hand over your daughter to us,” the lead bodyguard demanded as
he closed in on Melanie,
