Chapter 119
“Did you see that little actor just now?” asked Jaydon.
“No, Mr. Grimm.”
Jaydon searched all the dressing rooms and the photography studio he rented. However, he could not
find Irvin
Then Jaydon panicked and immediately asked his assistants to search for Irvin separately.
About eight assistants began to search the photography studio and the nearby scenic spots.
Joanna was worried and said, “Davian, let’s go back now.”
“Mommy, what happened?” asked Davian.
Joanna explained, “Let’s go back and pick up Irvin. It’s been so long. Irvin must have finished his
audition.”
“Okay.”
After that, Joanna hurriedly returned to the photography studio.
Then Joanna happened to see Jaydon anxiously looking around.
Joanna asked, “Jay, where is Irvin?”
Jaydon took a deep breath and did his best to calm down, replying, “Joann, please calm down first.”
“Jay, where is Irvin? Did you hide something from me? Tell me now!”
Seeing that Joanna was so anxious that her eyes were red, Jaydon did not dare to conceal the truth.
Thus, Jaydon said, “Irvin had an audition here. After the audition, he went to remove his makeup.
“Then Irvin disappeared. I’m looking for him now! Don’t worry. This photography studio is not that big.
Irvin must have run out to play.”
Boom. Jaydon’s words were like a clap of thunder to Joanna.
When Joanna heard that, she could not stand still. Then Joanna staggered along.
“Joann!” Jaydon immediately went forward to hold Joanna and said, “It’s okay. No need to worry so
much.”
Joanna came back to herself and hurriedly looked around, shouting, “Irvin, Irvin! Where are you? Come
out now!”
Davian and Lilia were also getting anxious. They used all their might and shouted, “Irvin! Irvin!”
Everyone panicked and began to look around.
Half an hour later, people searched the entire studio but failed to see Irvin.
“Irvin, Irvin!” Joanna was about to go crazy.
Joanna cried inside, “This photography studio has no surveillance cameras. I’m afraid someone
kidnaps Irvin.
“I don’t know what to do if a kidnapper really takes Irvin away!”
Jaydon said, “Check the surveillance cameras. This photography studio has no surveillance cameras,
but the scenic spots outside have cameras. We can find out who takes Irvin away.”
“Good.”
Then Joanna and Jaydon hurriedly headed to the surveillance room.
Just as Joanna turned around, she saw a few bodyguards in suits standing behind her.
Bruce had a cold expression and was frowning at Joanna.
Bruce said, “Joanna, it turned out that you really hooked up with Jaydon again. Well, it looks like you
ignored everything I said.
“I’ve said it before. If I find out that you’re with Jaydon again, I’ll make you pay the price.”
Seeing Bruce, Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. Her beautiful eyes were filled with fear. Then Joanna
stared at Bruce with her open–wide eyes.
Joanna shouted inside, “I should have known it was Bruce who did that!”
Before Bruce could finish his words, Joanna stepped forward and slapped Bruce heavily in the face.
“Slap!“A crisp sound arose. Bruce was confused and shocked.
Joanna gritted his teeth and roared, “Bruce, you’re so despicable!” Joanna wished she could take
Bruce down now.
Bruce became angrier after being slapped.
Bruce thought, “Damn it. How dare you, Joanna! You slapped me in public! She even picks a fight
before me.
“It’s true. Women will never satisfy with what they have.”
Bruce touched his cheek, and his anger was about to fly out of his eyes. Bruce glared at Joanna
viciously. Then he raised his hand and was about to slap
back.
However, noticing Joanna’s expression, Bruce could not do it.
Joanna cried, “Bruce, where did you take my son?
“Tell me! Where did you take my son? Come to me if you are annoyed or something. Don’t do anything
to my son!”
Then Joanna rushed over and punched Bruce in a frenzy.
Bruce was stunned and speechless. He had no idea of what had happened.
To
Bruce thought, “I should be the one to confront Joanna.
“Well, now this woman takes the first step and releases her anger at me!”
Bruce replied, “Are you out of your mind? How would I know where your son is?”
Joanna gritted her teeth, and her entire body was shaking. She shouted, “Stop pretending. You must
have taken away my son!
“Give me back my son now if anything happens to my son, I’ll fight you until I die with you!”
Bruce frowned coldly and flung Joanna’s arm away, shouting, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Jaydon was also furious and said, “Bruce, did you take away Irvin? How could you do that?”
Bruce replied, “Jaydon, Joanna, I’ve told you. I don’t know anything about your child! Stop being like
mad dogs.”
Bruce’s words made Jaydon and Joanna firmly believe that Bruce was the one who took Irvin away.
Joanna pounced on Bruce again and grabbed Bruce’s sleeve tightly. Tears flowed out of her eyes
uncontrollably. Joanna begged, “Bruce, where exactly did you hide my son?
“Can you stop the fight? Please return my son to me now!”
Bruce said, “You’re crazy. How would I know where your son is?”
Bruce was angry. He hated being wronged by others the most.
Bruce thought, “I wouldn’t do such a thing as kidnapping. And kidnapping a kid? That would be
diculous to me.
“I wouldn’t use such a dirty mean even if I wanted to take revenge on Joanna.”
Davian was so angry that his face turned pale. He pointed at Bruce’s nose and scolded, “You big
baddie! Where did you take my brother? I want to see my
brother now!”
“Wahh. Irvin, where did you go?” Lilia was scared and started crying.
Joanna sobbed uncontrollably and said, “Bruce, I’m begging you. Please give back my son to me. You
must have taken my son away. Please don’t use my child to punish me!”
I’m begging you!
Bruce took a deep breath and frowned. Then he held Joanna’s face and stared into Joanna’s eyes,
saying, “Joanna, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve never seen your son either!”
“That’s impossible. It must be you. It must be you!”
“My son is missing. You must have hidden him! Just give Irvin back to me. I’ll call the police now and
charge you with kidnapping if you refuse.”
“Heh. Then call the police now!”
Jaydon stepped forward and pushed Bruce away, shouting, “Let go of Joann!”
Bruce staggered but did not let go of Joanna.
“Bruce, Irvin is just a child. You can’t do this! You can release your anger to me, but please don’t do
anything to my child!”
“Bruce, let go of Joann!” warned Jaydon.
The bodyguards quickly surrounded Jaydon and started fighting with Jaydon. Then the security guards
and assistants of the photography studio rushed over to join the fight.
Seeing how nervous Joanna and Jaydon were, Bruce realized that Joanna’s son was really lost.
Bruce could not help sneering. He said, “Well, it looks like someone has already made a move before
me.
“Joanna, I’m telling you one last time. I didn’t kidnap your son!
“I wouldn’t use such a shameless method if I want you to pay the price.”
Joanna looked at Bruce with tears in her eyes, begging, “Bruce, if you take Irvin away, please don’t hurt
him under all circumstances.
“Otherwise, you’ll definitely regret it. You’ll definitely regret it!” After saying that, Joanna shook Bruce
crazily, and tears ran down Joanna’s face.
Joanna thought, “Bruce will hurt his biological son if he hurts Irvin.”
However, Bruce replied coldly, “I never regret what I do!
“Also, believe it or not. All I said is true. If I tell yout didn’t do it, then I didn’t do it. I will admit it if it was
me.”
Looking at Bruce’s gloomy expression, Joanna began to believe Bruce.
Joanna thought, “Bruce is righteous deep down, and he will admit things that he has done.
“If Bruce kidnaps Irvin, Bruce will openly provoke me and force me to follow his words.
“Now that Bruce said he did not take Irvin away, I think I might have wronged Bruce.”
12:53 Fri, 23 Jun.
“Irvin, where did you go?” Joanna cried out. Then she closed her eyes and fainted.
“Joanna!” cried Bruce.
“Joann!” cried Jayden.
Bruce was faster and took Joanna into his arms. Then Bruce said to his bodyguards, “Send some
people to search around for Joanna’s kid!”
“Yes, Mr. Everett!”
Joanna only passed out for seconds. Then she struggled to get up and murmured, “I need to find my
son. I need to find my son!”
Bruce replied, “I’ve already sent people to look for Irvin, It’s useless to be anxious like this!”
Joanna murmured, “The surveillance room. I need to go to the surveillance room!”
Then Joanna ran toward the surveillance room as if she was mad.
Joanna thought, “The photography studio doesn’t have surveillance cameras. However, surveillance
cameras are everywhere outside of the studio.
“I will definitely get some useful information!”
O
Soon, Joanna arrived at the surveillance room.
A security guard pulled up all the surveillance videos.
Joanna held her breath and attentively watched the surveillance videos. Joanna was scared that she Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
would miss trvin, so she was unwilling to take a second to blink.
Bruce was smoking outside gloomily. Jaydon accompanied Joanna to check all the surveillance
videos.
After watching dozens of surveillance videos, Joanna did not find anyone suspicious or see Irvin leave
the studio.
However, after searching the entire studio, they could not find Irvin.
Irvin seemed to disappear into thin air.
Until now, Irvin had been missing for more than three hours.
Joanna was about to break down. She kept blaming herself, her eyes were bloodshot, and her body
was uncontrollably trembling.
Jaydon blamed himself even harder. Then he asked the security guard to pull out more surveillance
videos of other places.
The security guard frowned and sighed, replying, “I’m afraid that’s all I can do. I only have surveillance
videos of this area.
“You need to go to another surveillance room if you want surveillance videos of other areas.”
Jaydon said, “Then let’s rush to the next surveillance room now.”
The security guard was replaying the video. Suddenly, Joanna saw a familiar figure on the screen.
Joanna said, “Wait! Rewind this video. I want to watch it again.”
“Okay!” Then the security guard replayed it.
A tall and think man appeared in that video.
The camera did not capture that man’s face, but Joanna found that man familiar. Joanna almost
recognized that man at a glance. She cried inside, “This person is Derick Haynes!”
Watching the video, Joanna suddenly grabbed the mouse and zoomed the screen to see this man.
Jaydon frowned and murmured, “Is this person…”
Joanna was shocked and cried, “It looks like he is Derick Haynes!”
“Derick Haynes?” repeated daydon.
Joanna firmly repked, “Yes, it must be Derick!”
Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. She felt a chill run down her spine after confirming that it was Derick
Haynes.
Joanna thought, “Ingrid and her three children all hate me deeply. It sounds reasonable if Derick wants
to take revenge on me.
“The meanest way to hurt me is to hurt my children.”
Jaydon shook his head subconsciously and said, “Really? Derick is your brother to some extent. He’s
probably not the one who takes away Irvin.”
Joanna sneered and thought, “Heh. Siblings from another mother are worse than strangers.
“At least strangers won’t desire to kill me. As for my half brothers and sisters, they with me to disappear
from the world.”
“That could actually be Derick,” said Joanna.
Jaydon said, “But Derick didn’t bring anything with him, and we didn’t see he’s with Irvin.”
Joanna urged, “Call the police now. I’m afraid it will be too late if we keep wasting time here.”
Jayden sighed and replied, “Irvin has not missed up to 24 hours yet. Even if we call the police, I’m
afraid they won’t file a case.”
Joanna suddenly stood up and said emotionally, “I’m going to find and confront Derick!”
Jaydon suggested, “Maybe call your father first and see where Derick is. Ask Derick if he has seen
Irvin.”
Joanna said, “Good idea. I’m calling my father now.”
Joanna immediately took out her phone and called Shaun.
Beep Beep Beep.
The phone got through quickly. Shaun’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hello, Joann!”
Joanna greeted, “Hey, dad!”
“Joann, what’s the matter?” Shaun sounded very cold.
“Is Derick home?” asked Joanna.
Shaun was stunned when he heard that, thinking. “Derick never gets along well with Joanna since they
were young. Now Joanna calls me and asks
where Derick is. What a surprise.”
Shaun subconsciously glanced at Derick’s room and replied, “It looks like Rick goes out. Why are you
looking for him?”
“Any idea of where Derick went?” Joanna sounded anxious.
“I don’t know,” said Shaun,
“Can you give me Derick’s number? I need to speak to him now!”
“Oh. Wait a moment. I’m looking for it.” Shaun said and was about to open his contact list!
Ingrid heard Shaun on the phone. Then she walked in coquettish steps and came downstairs.
Ingrid asked, “Hubby, who are you talking to?”
“It’s Joann,” said Shaun.
Ingrid’s face changed when she heard that. Ingrid shrieked, “Why are you talking to that bitch?”
Shaun said, “Conon. Stop it.”
Then Shaun replied to Joanna, “Joann, I can’t find it now. I’ll send it to you later.
“By the way, why are you looking for Rick?”
Joanna paused for a moment and said with a sobbing tone, “My son is missing. It’s likely that Derick
took Irvin away!
“Dad, ask Derick if he took Irvin away!”
Hearing this, Shaun was shocked and subconsciously retorted, “What? That’s impossible. Why would
Rick take your son away?”
