Chapter 358 Let Him Go
"I don't know about it. I'll ask Jerry to release him now."
David felt a little embarrassed, and then said to Jonas Hearing this, he knew that his attitude was a little inappropriate, and gradually calmed down.
"Thank you for your help."
Jonas said. Then he saw David contact with Jerry. He answered David's phone in a second.
"Dad." The way Jerry called his father was very natural, even more familiar than calling Alston. David had turned on the speaker, so Jonas can hear Jerry. At this time, a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"Ask someone to let go of Melinda's father." David talked with him as if David were giving orders his subordinates, but Jerry didn't care at all.
He knew from the beginning that David was just using him. Thinking that David and Alston were both using him to get the other party's property, Jerry sneered. One day, everything of the two would belong to him alone.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Jerry said casually. He didn't admit that he had kidnapped Melinda's father at all. David looked at Jonas, seeming to ask silently if he had made a mistake.
At this time, Jonas was glad that he knew what kind of person Jerry was, so he had recorded the conversation between him and Jerry from the beginning.
At that time, he had thought that if it couldn't be solved in private, they would have to resort to legal channels, which was the most direct evidence.
At the moment the recording was played, David looked a little embarrassed, while Jerry was a little angry on the other end. He didn't expect that Jonas would guard against him like this.
"Let him go as soon as possible. It's not Mrs. Gu's fault. It's Stacy's fault." Said David. He didn't want to blame Jerry who had done this just because of his daughter.
Since what Jerry had said was recorded, he didn't know what to say. Jerry thought to himself, 'how despicable Jonas is! How could he force me to let go of him in this way?'.
"I know, father. It's just that Stacy is wronged." Said Jerry. He still felt that Stacy was wronged, and hoped that his words would make David hang in the balance.
However, David was very clear headed. It was not the right time to break up, so he said, "send him back as soon as possible, okay?" Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Okay."
Said Jerry unhappily, and then hung up the phone. After handling the matter well, David had an explanation to Jonas.
"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Jonas said. Since David had given an order, Jerry wouldn't go against it. And Melinda just needed to wait for her father to come back.
Jerry was efficient. Vern was sent back home soon. Someone had been waiting for him at home. Seeing him back, he immediately called Melinda.
Vern looked fine and unharmed. The main reason why Jerry took him away this time was to threaten Jonas, so he didn't do anything excessive.
When Melinda rushed back home from Soaring Group, her tears couldn't stop flowing. She really began to be afraid. These times, she was not careful for her father, so she even didn't know that her
father had an accident.
She really couldn't imagine what she would do if her father was in danger.
The aunt had already cleaned the Mo's Home. Vern could have a good rest after he came back. After receiving the news from Jonas, William sent Melinda back to the Mo's Home in person.
When she looked at her father's familiar figure, she couldn't help but rush up and hug him, tears streaming down.
Vern hadn't been so intimate with his daughter for a long time. At this time, he was a little uncomfortable and raised his arm to pat her on the back.
"Well, I'm fine. Don't worry."
Vern comforted her. When he was caught, he was also frightened, but when those people did not do anything else, and even arranged food and drink, he knew that he was probably a hostage.
"I'm sorry, Dad." All this was because of her. Her father didn't know how to comfort her, but he kept saying that he was fine.
The dinner was prepared by the aunt. Melinda stayed at home with Vern, showing no intention of going back home. The aunt looked anxious and didn't know what to do.
"It's getting late. You should go home now." Finally, Vern considerately found out the aunt's difficulties and took the initiative to ask her to go home.
"I want to be with you."
She was like a little girl who didn't want to leave her father for a moment. Looking at her like this, her father's heart was full of helplessness.
He also wanted his daughter to be with him all the time, but she had grown up and got married.
"Go back. I'm fine. Don't worry about me." Vern patted her on the back and said. She was still unwilling to leave. But thinking of her attitude towards Jonas today, he might be sad, and Melinda began to hesitate.
At last, with the persuasion of her father, she chose to go home, but she was still worried, "Dad, I will come to see you tomorrow."
She was not joking at all. On the second morning, before Jonas woke up, she got up in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Jonas asked.
"I'm going to find my father." Melinda said in a daze. She pushed away yunpei, and when she stood up, she was sober.
"Let me drive you home." Jonas also got up. Melinda wanted to refuse, but she didn't say anything. This day, she stayed with her father from morning to night, and she had to urge him to go home.
Seeing this, Queena thought it was not a good way to go on, so she discussed to let her father live in the Gu's mansion.
"No, thanks. I'm fine alone." Vern thought it would be troublesome to live in the Gu's mansion, and he couldn't forget his daughter's experience in the Gu's mansion. He didn't want to be a burden to her.
"It's not a good idea for her to walk around all the time." Queena said awkwardly. Melinda was pregnant now, so it was dangerous to walk around every day.
"I will persuade her." Vern still didn't want to live in the Gu's mansion. Queena had no choice but to stop talking about it.
After asking for Vern's permission, Jonas installed a surveillance camera in the living room of Mo's Home, and also a micro surveillance camera. He made two preparations.
Seeing this, Melinda was moved. Thinking of her attitude to her father when she was anxious before, she felt very guilty.
"William."
The person who came to install the monitor was William. As long as it was related to Melinda, William and Ted would deal with it. He felt worried about others.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Gu?" William was suddenly stopped by Melinda. She thought she had done something wrong and became a little anxious.
"Give this to your CEO for me." She handed a small box to William. She wanted to apologize to him, but she didn't know how to say it. So she came up with this idea at last.
In fact, there was only a note in the box, her apology.
William took it over, and still expressed his serious attitude. "Okay, I will hand it over to the boss safely."
William's attitude was as if it was a top secret document given by Melinda.
After William left, Melinda went back to the living room to accompany her father. The aunt who had been taking care of her was busy in the kitchen.
In fact, she had thought about cooking by herself, but she was getting more and more clumsy now. It was unrealistic to cook, and neither aunt nor her father would allow it.
"Mellie, is the Gu's mansion not close?" Vern looked at Melinda and said in a somewhat complicated tone. His daughter was sensitive. If they didn't talk it well this time, she would be sad.
"It's okay. I have a driver." Of course, she knew what her father meant, so she just said that she was fine.
Vern was anxious. He thought it was not good for his daughter to be too smart, but since she had seen through what he was going to say, there was no need to worry too much.
"Now you are married to Jonas. What do peoples think when you go back our home every day? Those neighbors are gossiping about me." Vern said. Thinking of the gossip of his neighbors, his face darkened.
"It's good that you know how life is. Others will say that you are just jealous." Melinda said indifferently, which made Vern speechless.
But after hesitating for a while, she felt relieved. Without her father's urging, she consciously proposed to leave.
The driver was stopped by something on the way today. Seeing that it was still early, she asked the aunt to take a walk with her.
Outside the community, the light was dim. The aunt had been holding her hand all the time. There were no passers-by on the road at this time. Melinda had been looking around. Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock.
Just now, a woman passed by her. Both her figure and face were so similar to that Emily!
Melinda turned her head to confirm, but she didn't see the figure of the wman just now. She stood there dully, and the aunt looked at Melinda suspiciously, thinking that she couldn't walk anymore.
"Young Mistress, how about we wait for the driver here?" Said the aunt. Still in a trance, Melinda looked at her and nodded blankly.
Melinda was in such a condition until she came back home. She was sure that her eyesight was good. Just now, she was so familiar with Emily that she could recognize her even if it was just a side face.
