Charlie had never imagined that his father-inw could be so sinister, yet he could empathize with his feelings.


    After all, this was the woman who had been his first love, and he hadn’t seen her in over twenty years; she was still as enchanting as ever. If he were in Jacob’s position, he would surely want to protect this moment from any disruption.


    Additionally, ine was like a ticking time bomb. Once set off, her impact would be catastrophic, akin to the explosion of a nuclear device.


    Therefore, there was nothing unreasonable about Jacob’s cautious approach.


    Little did they know that ine was currently trapped in a detention center, enduring unimaginable suffering. She would remain in this hellish situation until they received a green light from Charlie.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon returning home, Charlie found that ire had just arrived as well. He hurried over to her and asked, “Honey, did you go to the police station? What did they say? Has there been any news about Mom?”


    ire appeared pale and anxious. “The police informed me that they’ve issued a citywide assistance notice and even contacted the Blue Sky Rescue Team, but so far, no one has seen Mom or knows where she is. They can’t find any leads.”


    ine had been arrested while at the bank, handling a transaction. Isaac had called ahead to ensure that no information would leak to the public.


    Moreover, ine had spent the entire time in the bank’s VIP reception room, and only the bank manager and staff were aware of her presence. Isaac had also contacted the bank to ensure that no details about ine’s visit were disclosed, leaving the public clueless and making it nearly impossible for the rescue team to locate her.


    He reassured ire, saying, “Don’t worry, dear. Mom has only been missing for less than 24 hours; let’s wait a little longer.”


    Jacob quickly chimed in, “That’s right, ire. Your mom went out yesterday afternoon, and it’s only been a day and a night. There’s no need to panic just yet.”


    However, ire shook her head resolutely. “No, I need to search for her again. I’m extremely worried.”


    Then she turned to Charlie and eximed, “Charlie, please help me look again this afternoon, especially at ces like the mahjong center; that’s where Mom often goes.”<fn9cb4> For more chapters visit FιndＮovel</fn9cb4>


    Charlie nodded immediately, saying, “Sure, I’ll go look for her right now!”


    ire rushed forward, insisting, “You better not lie to me like you did yesterday!”


    Charlie raised three fingers in a mock swearing gesture and replied, “Of course not, my dear! I promise I won’t. I’ll check every mahjong center in Aurous Hill thoroughly!”


    ire eyed him suspiciously, reminding him, “You must take pictures of all the ces you visit and show me!”


    She was still upset about Charlie and her dad choosing to go for drinks instead of searching for her mom the night before.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
