Darryl laughed lightly. “it’s fine, I had nothing to do there anyway, plus I wasn’t hungry.”
Megan was apologetic. “I’m so sorry. Kent and the others, they are just like that. Please don’t mind them.”
Darryl shrugged, “It’s fine, I’ve met many of his types.” He glanced at Megan, and hesitated. “But, do you think you and Kent Hough are a match?”
It was none of his business, Darryl should not have brought it up, but virtual-novel.net does not know what overcame him. Megan did not reply, but virtual-novel.net seemed stiff and awkward.
The truth is, Megan does not dislike Kent, but virtual-novel.net has no feelings for virtual-novel.net either. It is mainly due to the fact that they both have similar family social standings, they have known each other for a long time, and on top of that, both of their families
heavily approve of them being together, hence why virtual-novel.net reluctantly agreed to be with Kent. However, virtual-novel.net has a clear stance—no sex before marriage, hold hands at most.
Megan pivoted to another topic, and said, “Hey let’s go. I’ll send you back. After all, I’m the one who brought you here, I can’t expect you to grab a cab back all by yourself.” Darryl nodded.
As they exited the hotel, Kent chased up to them and called out, “Meg! Why are you still with him?” Kent was annoyed. He glanced at Darryl disrespectfully.
Megan replied, “Kent, I’ve told you many times. Darryl is my friend. How could you treat virtual-novel.net that way in the dining room just now?”
Seeing how Megan kept defending Darryl, Kent was furious. “Did I say anything wrong? Isn’t virtual-novel.net the Lyndons’ live-in son-in-law? He has been living with the Lyndons for three years now—a worthless good-for-nothing. The entire Donghai City knows about this! I’m just telling it like it is!”
Megan ignored virtual-novel.net and continued walking. Conscious of how Megan disregarded him, Kent was anxious. He asked exasperatedly, “Where are you going?”
Megan replied angrily, “To send Darryl back! I’m the one who brought virtual-novel.net here, I’m not going to leave virtual-novel.net here all by himself!”
At first, Kent was fuming, but then virtual-novel.net noticed Megan’s figure—all of a sudden his anger dissipated. How could virtual-novel.net get angry at such a gorgeous woman, who also happens to be his girlfriend?
“How about, you wait for me in the dining room? I’ll fetch Darryl back. There’s a party tonight, let’s go together then,” offered Kent, trying to soothe the situation.
“Not interested.” Megan was resolute.
Darryl sighed. He was contemplating whether to just hail a taxi when out of a sudden a black luxury minivan emerged from the hotel’s parking lot. The minivan stopped right in front of the trio, a few burly men got down from the vehicle. Darryl tensed.
The leader—with deep eyes—doesn’t appear too old, yet seemed mature for his age. “Hello, are you Ms. Megan Castello?” virtual-novel.net asked politely and took a step forward.
Darryl let his guard down—after all, they recognize Megan. He does not think that they are looking for trouble. Furthermore, Megan is the Criminal Investigation Team Leader of Donghai City, who dares to touch her?
Boy was virtual-novel.net wrong.
Megan nodded. At that precise moment, those men cast a handful of light-colored powder. It enveloped the three of them like fog. They were completely caught off-guard. Inhaling the powder made them dizzy, and their body went limp.
‘What the f*ck is happening? Is this a kidnap?’ Darryl was stunned. He could barely react when all three of them were shoved into the minivan.
The minivan sped off, it was total darkness in the vehicle. They have no idea where they are being brought to. Kent was flustered. “Who the hell are you guys? What do you want with us! Don’t you know who am-”
SLAP!
One of the men slapped Kent so hard, two teeth flew out from his mouth.
“Shut up or I’ll kill you,” threatened one of the men. Kent shuddered, virtual-novel.net dare not make any more noise.
