Chapter 588: Chapter 588



.

The maid opened the door and saw two women who appeared to be mother and daughter. “Who are you looking for?” she asked.

“Is my sister here?” asked Tiana.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Tiana Meyer, please let them know,” Tiana said kindly.

The maid looked at Dolores, “It’s someone named Meyer.”

Dolores was surprised to see Mrs. Meyer and Tiana, surprised that they came to visit.

“Charles disappeared,” Tiana sobbed.

Dolores was stunned, “How and why?”

“Tiana said Charles sent someone, is that true?” Mrs. Meyer asked.

Tiana didn’t understand what had happened, but Mrs. Meyer did.

It was no secret that Declan and Matthew were not on good terms now, the person he tried to hide was desperately missing, of course, he would be furious. She guessed he knew Charles was involved, so she kidnapped him and then asked him about the man.

She promised to hide the man for Declan and it was her responsibility now that he was missing. She knew she had to find the missing man before approaching Declan to free Charles.

gαℓησν𝒆ℓs․com brings you fresh updates Charles told Tiana not to mention that he had sent someone, but Tiana became nervous when Charles disappeared. Under pressure from Mrs. Meyer, she told him that the person Declan was looking for was sent here.

That was the reason for her visit.

“Talk to me,” Matthew said above their conversation as he approached, so he could guess the whole story.

Mrs. Meyer was direct, “Declan asked me to hide that person, at first I wanted to refuse, but Charles said he had a place for him, so I agreed. I never expected him to send him here. I think Declan is angry and has kidnapped him. My intention is simple, give me the man in exchange for Charles.”

It was her fault, she knew Charles and Matthew were friends, but she didn’t know they were so close.

“He is a criminal, he must be sent to the police, not to other people. Mrs. Meyer should understand since her husband is an expert in the field, does she want to break the law and embarrass her husband?” said Armand coolly.

He was afraid Matthew would turn him in to Mrs. Meyer, he had almost beaten him to death if Boyce hadn’t stopped him.

Mrs. Meyer was so sorry that she agreed to help Declan. She didn’t care much, she just wanted to get Charles back and cut ties with Declan after that.

“Charles sees you two as friends, now he’s captured, aren’t you supposed to try to save him?” why did she sound like she wouldn’t turn him in?

“I’m sorry, we’re not close and we’re not friends with him, he had another intention when he sent the man…”

“Armand.” Dolores stopped Armand. Tiana was here and she had married Charles, regardless of his intention to send the man, he was not to mention it in front of the Meyers. It would hurt Tiana and affect Charles’ relationship with the Meyers.

He turned to Matthew, “What do you think?”

Matthew asked her to go back inside, “Go in first, I’ll be right back.”

She nodded, “Call me no matter what.”

Matthew nodded. They gathered to enjoy dinner tonight, but what had happened with Charles spoiled their appetites.

“Let’s talk somewhere else.” Matthew was still in his casual clothes as he didn’t plan to go very far, he just didn’t like to discuss this at home.

They sat in the garden in front of the villa.

Matthew pulled Boyce aside, “Has he been questioned?”.

“He was badly injured by Armand and is still in a coma,” Boyce said.

“Find a way to wake him up for questioning.” Regardless of whether John knew about Declan, he might know his secret.

“I’ll go right now,” Boyce said as he turned away.

They had some shreds of evidence in their hands in the process of investigating Declan, however, the Bailey’s were a pretty powerful family, they needed evidence that would make them collapse immediately, or else they would lose.

The Old Bailey had not retired, while Declan’s sisters had married into powerful families as well, like Mrs. Meyer, her husband Alan Meyer was a powerful man. Although he claimed to be on the side of justice, his wife was one of the Meyers.

They would surely meet if anything happened to Declan.

Therefore, it was unwise for them to act impulsively now.

Matthew approached them after Boyce left, “I’ll send him tomorrow.” Mrs. Meyer was in a hurry, she feared Declan might hurt Charles.

“Why not today?” Mrs. Meyer asked.

“Aren’t you Declan’s sister? How could you kidnap your son-in-law without his permission? You’re here today because of your brother, aren’t you?” said Boyce sarcastically, despising her hypocritical look.

Thinking her visit today was about her brother.

Little did she know that Declan had completely ignored her as a sister and was still kidnapping Charles regardless.

Of course, Mrs. Meyer asked Declan to release Charles, but Declan refused, “If you want Charles, you have to bring John to me, you promised to keep him hidden, but you lost him the next day. You have to answer to me or your son-in-law will not have a pleasant life here,” Declan told her.

Mrs. Meyer’s face stiffened, “Everything about the Meyer Family is not a secret, we are considered outsiders and we don’t have much love for the Meyers. I wouldn’t have intervened if you hadn’t come to me for help. But now you have told me to my face to trade Charles for your man. Charles sent you the man and now he’s in trouble for this, don’t you have to do something to help instead of disregarding his safety?”

‘Aren’t they friends, why didn’t they seem like friends?” thought Mrs. Meyer.

“Do you have any idea what he’s done?” Armand couldn’t control his anger thinking about returning John to Declan. “I sincerely hope his daughter has a quiet life, forever.”

Mrs. Meyer frowned, “What does that even mean?”

Matthew rubbed his eyebrows together and said quietly, “Armand, you should go.”

“But…”

“Go now. I’ll take care of this, you being impulsive will only make things worse!” Matthew’s voice became stern.

Armand reluctantly walked away.

“Go get him from the police station tomorrow morning.” Matthew wasn’t going to keep holding him back any longer, he didn’t want anything to happen to Charles as well. He was the one who sent John anyway even if it was for Dolores’ sake.

Dolores would feel guilty if anything happened to him because of this, Matthew didn’t want that to happen.

And they had planned for it, even if John was returned to Declan, he might not survive.

Mrs. Meyer said after some thought, “All right then, it’s only less than twenty hours until morning.”

They could wait.

“Come on, Tiana.”

Mrs. Meyer tugged her daughter.

Tiana shook her head, “Please come back first mom, I want to talk to Dolores.”
