Chapter 195
"Auntie, and..." When Paisley was about to say something again, she could only hear the beeping sound on the phone. Eve had already hung up the phone.
Paisley felt lucky in her heart. Eve treated her coldly as soon as she found that she was not easy to control. It could be seen that she was just a tool in Eve's eyes.
The next day.
While Patrick was talking with the client in the office, he suddenly heard a dispute outside. Then the door was knocked open with a loud sound and he saw Meggie's father.
The hair of Meggie's father was messy and his collar was rolled out. He was slovenly dressed and didn't look like a director at all!
The secretary ran in and said to Patrick in a panic, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hopper. I couldn't stop him."
Patrick said with understanding, "It's okay. Go back to work now."
Although Meggie's father was middle-aged, he was very tall and strong. Two security guards could manage to stop him.
The secretary glanced at Meggie's father and then closed the door.
"Mr. Hopper! I have something to talk to you!" Meggie's father said in a rough voice.
Patrick nodded and then said to the client, "Let's make an appointment again."
After the client left, Patrick greeted Meggie's father with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
After sitting down, Meggie's father stared at Patrick with bloodshot eyes and said, "Mr. Hopper, do you really not know, or are you pretending to be confused?"
Patrick put on a cold face and said indifferently, "Although you're my elder, you'd better not talk to me so impolitely." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Patrick's cold words made Meggie's father come to sense. He said in a trembling voice, "Meggie was missing a week ago. At six o'clock in the evening the day before yesterday, the police found her in the alley of the Wutong Road, she..."
Before he finished his words, Meggie's father burst into tears.
Patrick said with a serious expression, "Did something happen to Meggie?"
Thinking of what had happened to Meggie, her father was so sad that he couldn't say a word. He took out a crumpled newspaper from his arms and sobbed, "Look... Meggie's miserable situation has been reported by the media!"
Patrick looked at the newspaper and saw a photo of Meggie curling up in the corner with her body naked. Of course, her private parts were pixelated.
The relevant text description was attached on the left side of the photo. It was said that Meggie was found by a kind-hearted people in the alley, then that people called the police. When the police came, they confirmed that she was Meggie and contacted her father in a hurry.
As for the reason why Meggie appeared at the entrance of the alley with her body naked, no one knew it better than Patrick.
It was him who asked Dion and Earl to kidnap Meggie, sell her to the Money Cabinet, and finally throw her in the alley.
When he knew that it was Meggie who kidnapped Amelia from Dion and Earl's words, he asked Dion and Earl to meet Meggie again. Then they knocked Meggie out and took her to the Money Cabinet. After she had been raped for several days, she was thrown in the alley.
He wanted Meggie to experience what would happen to Amelia if he didn't save her.
However, the difference between Meggie and Amelia was that Amelia had his protection, while Meggie had nothing!
The crying of Meggie's father brought Patrick back to his mind. He pretended to be sad and asked, "I'm so sorry to hear that. How is Meggie now?"
Meggie's father wiped his tears and said, "After she went home, no matter what we asked, she didn't say a word. We took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said... she suffered a great blow and became insane."
Patrick raised his eyebrows. Fortunately, Meggie became insane. Otherwise, when she saw the photo of her naked body in the newspaper, she would feel so ashamed.
Meggie's father said painfully, "Meg is young now, but her hymen was found broken in the hospital. She suffers from a mental disease now. She must have been raped during her disappearance. But I can't do anything to help her..."
Patrick patted his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry. Meg is like my younger sister and I will help her. My elder brother Owen has some connections in the criminal investigation team. I'll let him investigate this matter for you."
Hearing this, Meggie's father didn't suspect Patrick anymore, "Mr. Hopper, I'm so sorry for my bad attitude just now. You are willing to help me, but I misunderstood you."
"I understand your mood. You only have one daughter, so it's reasonable for you to be worried about her. I don't blame you. I was in Latvia last week. Otherwise, I could help you to find Meg."
Like an orator, Patrick said eloquently. Meggie's father was stunned for a while before he said, "Mr. Hopper, there's one thing I want to tell you."
"Just say it."
"I suspect that someone kidnapped Meg on purpose."
Patrick's eyes turned cold, but he asked with a smile, "Oh? Do you find any clues?"
Meggie's father said solemnly, "On the second day after Meg's disappearance, I asked her friends and they told me that before Meg disappeared, she called them and came to the company to bully Amelia. After that, she was missing. Mr. Hopper, do you think Meg's disappearance has anything to do with Amelia?"
Patrick thought for a while and said, "It's just your guess, and you don't have enough evidence. You'd better let the police handle it."
Meggie's father said to Patrick in a threatening tone, "Mr. Hopper, if this matter really has something to do with Amelia, I hope you won't bias for her."
Patrick nodded, "Of course."
The reason why Patrick agreed so quickly was that the disappearance of Meggie had nothing to do with Amelia, and she didn't even know about it.
As for Dion and Earl who kidnapped Meggie, they had been secretly sent abroad by Patrick. All Patrick needed to do was to aim at Money Cabinet, the brothel.
Meggie's father didn't suspect Patrick anymore. He got up and left after hearing Patrick's promise.
After he left, Patrick picked up his cigar and lighter from the table, lit it slowly and smoked...
He glanced at Meggie's dull face in the newspaper coldly, and his eyes gradually turned gloomy.
If he didn't save Amelia in time, then what would be reported in the newspaper would be Amelia's miserable state.
After a pause, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Owen.
"Owen, there's something that I may have to trouble you to help me."
Owen asked with a smile, "Is it something about Amelia? If it is, I'll agree. If it isn't, I won't agree."
