Chapter 586: Meryl Is Missing

Felix smiled.

He raised his phone and snapped a picture of Chandler and Rachel sitting together in the car. Then he sent it to Meryl’s phone.

No reply came. Felix frowned and called her, but her phone was out of service.

Felix frowned. He felt something was off.

He looked to Philip, who stood nearby. “When would a phone be out of service?”

“No signal, I guess,” Philip answered.

Felix thought, “No signal? The area had strong coverage. Why would there be none now?”

Chandler grew uneasy when Meryl didn’t appear, and he couldn’t reach her by phone. His concern deepened as a bus pulled up outside the orchestra building, letting out a group of people.

At the front of the group was Christine, looking rather pleased with herself.

“Christine, what’s got you in such a good mood?”

“Nothing much,” she replied, a sly grin on her face. “Just one less competitor to worry about.”

“What competitor?” Tina asked.

Christine shot her a superior glance. “No one important.”

Rachel, familiar with most of the orchestra, studied the crowd. “Aren’t these all cello players?” she murmured, propping her chin.
