After a brief search with no sign of ine, Jacob turned to Charlie and said, “Charlie, how about we grab some barbequed meat instead? ire was hurrying us during dinner, and I barely got to enjoy my meal.”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “Sure, Dad. I know a great roadside barbeque stall that serves delicious barbecued meat.”


    Excitedly, Jacob patted his thigh and replied, “Let’s go! We should savor some roast meat and have a couple of beers tonight.”


    Charlie quickly responded, “But Dad, I’m driving, so I can’t drink tonight.”


    Jacob waved his hand dismissively. “We can just call for a driver! It’s not every day that we get to enjoy a drink together as father and son. Your mother-inw is always nagging me, and it gets pretty annoying. Since she’s away, let’s make the most of it!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie shrugged, grinning as he said, “Alright then, let’s enjoy some drinks together!”


    With that, Charlie drove them to the barbeque stall by the roadside.


    They ordered a generous amount of barbecued meat along with a few bottles of beer, happily settling down by the roadside to relish their food and drinks.


    As the mastermind behind ine’s current absence, Charlie felt a sense of satisfaction.


    For Jacob, after enduring ine’s incessant nagging for so long, the absence was a wee relief, leaving him feeling rxed and joyful.


    Just as they were about to dig into their meal, Charlie’s phone rang. It was ire.


    He quickly winked at Jacob before answering, “Hello, ire. Did you manage to file a police report?”


    ire’s voice came through, tinged with frustration. “I did file a report, but the officers said that since Mom is an adult and hasn’t been missing for more than ten hours, they can’t mobilize a search team. However, they have entered her details into the system and will notify me as soon as she’s found.”


    Charlie responded, “That makes sense. The police are right; it’s only been a few hours. They wouldn’t dispatch arge team for such a short time. They have more pressing matters to handle.”


    “I know,” ire replied, “but I just have a bad feeling about this. Something seems off. I’m worried that something terrible might have happened to my mother. You know how she is; I fear she could get into trouble if she shed with someone.”


    Charlie couldn’t help but acknowledge ire’s understanding of ine’s temperament.


    As he reflected on this, he sighed. Ever since marrying ire and joining the Wilson family, he hade to appreciate her as a truly remarkable person.


    Her beauty was undeniable, but what truly stood out was her kindness and integrity, especially given her challenging family background. The Wilson family, from Lady Wilson to Christopher’s rtives, were hardly exemry individuals.


    Jacob was somewhat decent butcked the courage to stand up for himself.


    Charlie admired ire’s ability to maintain her good-hearted nature despite the dysfunctional family she came from.


    At that moment, he pondered what to do about ine.


    If ine were to be missing indefinitely, ire would never be able to move on from it.


    This meant that, for the sake of his wife, he would eventually have to release his troublesome mother-inw from her confinement.<fnb38c> Fresh chapters posted on find?novel</fnb38c>


    In fact, Charlie would be quite willing to set her free after she had faced enough consequences for her actions.


    Moreover, there were unresolved issues that needed addressing.


    Charlie knew that the first thing ine would do upon her release would be to confront him about the bank card he had. She would likely suspect him of being part of the scam.


    If that were to happen, ine would definitely inform ire.


    No matter what, Charlie needed to devise a n to ensure that ine kept quiet about everything!
