Meeting You Was Fate novel Chapter 39

Nathan was expressionless. He always maintained a poker face all the time that made it difficult for anyone to gauge what he was thinking about. At the same time, not everyone or everything could stir up his emotions very easily. Though, in his teenage years, he had been an optimistic and extroverted boy who always sported a smiling face.

As he drove the car, there was hardly any exchange of words between Nathan and Mandy. While Nathan seemed to be rather distanced and cold as he sat behind the steering wheel, even Mandy didn't try to strike up a conversation to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

Sitting beside Nathan in the car, Mandy felt a little nervous. Just then, all of a sudden, she felt something hard to the touch inside her bag. Immediately, she remembered that it might be Nathan's Zorro mask.

She opened her bag and took out the mask. The silver mask was looking so enigmatic under the moonlight.

"I forgot to give it back to you the last time we met." she blushed and said in a trembling voice, extending the mask towards Nathan.

"No need to return it to me. Keep it for yourself. If you don't want it, you can throw it away," Nathan said in a very nonchalant manner, keeping his focus on the road. He didn't even look at her.

"Okay, I see." After pondering over it for a while, Mandy put the mask back inside her bag. Last time when she went to JS International to meet Nathan, she was so nervous that she couldn't give it back to him at that time.

But unexpectedly, she was still so nervous to be alone with him, even now.

It was quite late at night. After dropping Mandy at home, Nathan drove home alone.

All of a sudden, his cell phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he picked it up instantly.

"Boss, I've got the news from the police." Fred's voice came from the other end of the line.

"What is it?" Nathan asked in a calm voice.

"He said there was no evidence to prove that Daniel was involved in what happened to the company of the Zhou Family."

"No evidence? Then give the police some evidence to put Daniel into jail. Remember, before tomorrow morning I want to hear the news that he is in jail." Nathan still kept a straight face. However, his face was full of hatred and ruthlessness.

"Did Miss Zhou upset you tonight, Boss?" Fred asked with a sneer.

"No, she didn't," Nathan denied straight away. Yet Mandy's image kept lingering in his mind. He wondered why his mind was so preoccupied with her. That was so unlike him. He had never thought of any woman like this before.

Fred grumbled, but he didn't say anything. He assumed that his young master had fallen in love with Mandy. Otherwise, Nathan would not have dealt with Daniel for her sake.

"Okay, you may rest assured that I'll do it right away."

The next morning, the news of Daniel being arrested was spread all over City A. The breaking news for the major media houses was all about how he framed the Zhou Group. It seemed that someone had been planning to frame him. Celine was also put behind bars because of the suspected disclosure of business secrets.

After reading the message, Mandy rubbed her eyes in disbelief. 'Daniel is in jail, which means my father can now be released!' she thought happily. Suddenly, Mandy felt so light. As if somebody had lifted some heavy weights from her shoulders.

What a befitting consequence for Daniel's misdeeds! She felt relieved. Mandy looked up at the sky with tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, God."

Madeline was also very happy to hear the news. Hugging each other tightly, the mother and daughter cried happily.

"That's great, Mandy. The law is fair. Your father didn't do anything wrong. Finally, all the blame has been cleared from his name." Madeline sighed with tears of happiness rolling down her cheeks. Their family had been dealing with this for a long time now. So many sleepless nights they had spent in prayer. And now, their prayers had been answered. It felt as if she was carrying a big stone on her heart that had finally been removed this morning by the news.

"Yeah, that's great, Mom," Mandy agreed. Mandy genuinely smiled. But the very next moment, she remembered what Nathan had said in the bar last night. He had said that he would make sure that Daniel would not live until tomorrow!

Did Nathan frame Daniel?

Before Mandy could think more, her phone started to ring.

She went back to her room and picked up the phone. It was Nathan.

"So? How is it going? Are you satisfied with the news?" Nathan smiled coldly on the other side of the phone.

A sense of piercing chill struck Mandy's heart, just like an arrow, traveling through space and time. For a moment, she quivered to hear Nathan's voice. Suddenly, she realized that she had underestimated the ability and tactics of Nathan.

Now it seemed that he was an extremely dangerous man who could run the show in this city by a mere movement of his finger!
