Chapter 356 Vern disappeared
But no matter what he said, there was only indifference and even disgust on Queena's face.
Melinda couldn't bear to see Alston keep talking alone, so she pretended to cater to him and said that it was indeed a good thing for Jerry to be with Stacy.
But Melinda couldn't say anything else. In fact, she also knew that since Jerry had the help of the Wang family, it would be difficult for Jonas to take any action in the company.
At this time, she was a little regretful that she couldn't help Jonas in the slightest. The only person who was willing to help her was Nelson, but in these matters, Nelson had shown no intention of interfering.
The more Alston said, the more excited he became. Queena was getting more and more annoyed. She reached out her hand to hold Melinda, showing a disgusted expression to him, and then said directly to Melinda, "Let's go to the drawing room. These words are really disgusting."
The smile on Alston's face froze for a moment, and Melinda was a little embarrassed. She said to Alston, "Dad, you must be tired after a whole day's social engagement. Go to bed early."
When Melinda said this, Queena cast a glance at her. She immediately lowered her head and touched her nose. It was really hard to stay in the Gu family now.
Alston leaned against the sofa dejectedly. He had thought that if he told Queena about this, she could understand his behavior. No matter what he did, he did it for the Gu family and for the Soaring Group.
However, Queena didn't buy it at all.
After arriving at the drawing room, seeing that Queena couldn't calm down to paint, Melinda decided to comfort her and tell her that Jonas was not afraid of these. She wanted her to be relieved and don't make herself sad.
Although Queena knew everything, she just couldn't get over the barrier in her heart. At last, she asked Melinda to go back to rest, and she wanted to be alone.
"Mommy, don't think too much." After hesitating for a while, Melinda decided to give Queena a private space to calm down.
She had such an experience as Queena. Even if the person accompanying her said nothing and was quiet, the existence of this person was the biggest interruption.
Although Melinda left, she still told the servant to keep an eye on the situation inside. When she returned to the bedroom, she thought of the bad things she had suffered these days and felt a headache.
When Jonas returned home, he found that the house was not as lively as usual. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw his father leaning on the sofa.
He looked a little painful. One of his hands was on the sofa, and the other was on his lower abdomen. His face was a little flushing.
Jonas thought of that Alston attended the wedding of Jerry today. He must have drunk a lot. There should be someone taking care of him at home. His mother must be still angry.
He put his briefcase aside, went to the guest room on the first floor and found a quilt to cover Alston. This might be the only tenderness he had for his father.
Hearing the sound of the car coming back, Melinda wanted to go downstairs to greet Jonas, but she didn't expect to see this scene. Her heart was filled with several kinds of feelings.
In fact, Jon cared about his father very much, but he was not good at expressing himself.
With the quilt on his body, Alston moved a little uncomfortably and almost fell down from the sofa. Seeing this, Jonas frowned. Then he moved the tea table closer to the sofa and threw the pillow at the corner over there.
Every move of his made Melinda realize his meticulousness and silent care to his father. She leaned against the corner and waited for Jonas to go upstairs.
As if he thought that Alston wouldn't be hurt, Jonas turned around, picked up his briefcase and left, trying to pretend that he was just bored and did it casually.
"You are back." When Melinda saw that Jonas went upstairs, she didn't hide. Instead, she gave him a big smile and reached out to take the thing in his hand.
It was easy for Jonas to escape, and he held the hand of Melinda.
The two returned to the bedroom. At the thought of the filial behavior of Jonas, Melinda couldn't help but think that she hadn't visited her father for a long time.
"Jon, I want to go back to visit my father tomorrow. I haven't contacted him for a long time," Melinda said guiltily. Every time at this time, she felt like an ungrateful wolf.
As long as she returned to the Gu's mansion, she would easily forget to contact her family. Her father was as awkward as her, waiting for her to take the initiative to contact him.
As time went by, the contact between father and daughter became less and less.
"I'll ask the servant to keep you company tomorrow. I'll tell mom to prepare something for you later. You can take them with you tomorrow,"
said Jonas. With a nod, Melinda leaned against him and began to count the scenes of her last visit to her father.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and now Melinda had a feeling of timidity.
Queena knew that Melinda was going home, so she sent a bodyguard driver to accompany her. It happened that he could help her carry the gifts. In the morning, after seeing off Jonas, Melinda set out to Mo's Home.
After ringing the doorbell for a long time, no one opened the door. Melinda thought her father got up early to go to the market or something, and asked the servant to find the key at the place where her father usually put the key.
The moment the door was opened, the smell of dust came to her face. There was no familiar warmth in it, but embarrassment, as if there was a dispute.
Melinda's heart hung in her throat. She ran into the room in a hurry, but there was no one there, and it seemed that no one had lived for a long time.
The servant and the bodyguard were also stunned at the scene. Melinda hurriedly rang the doorbell of the neighbor and asked.
"I haven't seen your father these days. He hasn't come back for several days. I thought he went to your home." The neighbor thought for a while and said, and Melinda's face suddenly turned pale.
"Young Mistress, don't worry. Let's tell Young Master about it first." The servant was worried about Melinda, so she held her in a hurry. The bodyguard beside her also stacked the gifts aside and quickly made a clean room for Melinda to sit and rest.
In a hurry, Melinda took out her phone and called Jonas, almost incoherently telling him what had happened.
"Dad is missing?" Jonas caught the point in an instant. He frowned again and felt remorseful. He had put too much energy on dealing with Jerry these days and neglected Vern.
"What should we do, Jon? Is there anything wrong with my father? Or..." Biting her lips, Melinda couldn't say anything more.
She was worried that her father had been killed. After all, the house was in a mess, which seemed to indicate that there had been a dispute in it.
Who on earth took her father away?
"Linda, don't panic. Ask the servant to take you home. I'll arrange someone to look for him right away, okay?" Thinking that Melinda couldn't be irritated, Jonas comforted her in a hurry.
On the other hand, Jonas was also busy. He immediately asked Ted to arrange people to look for Vern. He joined them and almost searched the whole city for Vern.
Using all his connections, he couldn't hide the news of Vern's disappearance. Seeing these people looking for Vern in a hurry, Jerry felt indescribably comfortable.
Jonas had always been ruining his marriage with Stacy, so from the moment David agreed, he had been worried that Jonas would destroy the wedding, so he had made preparations in advance.
Melinda had been in the Gu's mansion all the time, and now there was a servant following her every day, so it was impossible for him to get close to her. Thus, Jerry thought of her father.
Vern was the father of Melinda. As long as he could control Melinda, it meant that he could control Jonas.
Jerry just wanted to use Vern as a bargaining chip to prevent Jonas and Melinda from ruining his wedding. He didn't expect that this bargaining chip didn't come in handy in the end.
The wedding day went smoothly, but he didn't plan to put him back. The chip was naturally useful in his hands.
Jonas searched for a long time, but he didn't find Vern. At last, Ted decided to investigate it from the beginning to confirm when and where he disappeared.
In this way, the reverse investigation finally found a clue.
Vern disappeared three days before Jerry's wedding. Several strong men broke into the Mo's Home and took Vern away without demur.
It could be seen from the surveillance video that they drove a van without a license and the road video during this period began to be intermittent, as if the surveillance video was broken.
"It has been planned for a long time. But why am I so familiar with this method?" Watching the video, Ted rubbed his chin and thought, 'It seems that I have been dealing with such a person all the time. But it's difficult to remember who he is for a moment.'
"There's no need to look for him. He's in the hands of Jerry," said Jonas, closing his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of malice. 'Well done! I didn't make trouble for him, but he rushed up to me and looked for death.'
Hearing this, Ted suddenly realized where he was familiar with. Wasn't this the thing that the hypocrite Jerry like to do the most?
"Then what should we do now?"
"I'm going to look for Jerry. You can end this," Jonas said and went downstairs to the human resources department with his mobile phone. Seeing the vigorous and resolute style of the CEO, Ted admired him again.
He just hoped that everything would go well this time. He really wanted to kill Jerry.
In the director's office of the human resources department, Jerry was video chatting with Stacy on his mobile phone. It seemed that the newly married couple was very sweet and could not live without each other for a moment.
Seeing that Jonas walked into the office with an unfriendly face, Jerry was very calm, as if he had expected it.
"Honey, have a rest. I'll get you justice soon," Jerry said to Stacy and then hung up the video. He turned around in his office chair and looked straight at Jonas. "Brother, what can I do for you?"
