Finn Morgan recounted everything about Vera Ford and Ian Shelby to his parents.
He also detailed the entire event, including Vera’s attempt to harm Janelle Mills, fortunately witnessed by Trevor, who fearlessly jumped into the river to rescue her.
The three people at the dinner table listened in shock, their faces full of disbelief!
"What kind of woman is that? She must be ntally unstable!" Hailey Hale thought it was terrifying; if Trevor hadn’t shown up in ti, Janelle would have gone missing, wouldn’t she?
She would have drowned!
Finn Morgan appeared calm, but sadness was spreading within him, "Dr. Shelby stayed at the riverbank for a day and night without drinking a drop of water. He feels very guilty. His pain is no less than any of ours."
"You went to the ancient town?" Everett Morgan fixed his gaze on his son, anger simring within him.
"After receiving his notification, I went with CEO Kingston and President Lane," Finn inford his father, "We also brought a professional salvage team, and they’re still searching."
"..." Everett Morgan clenched his fingers into fists, veins bulging on his forehead, utterly furious!
Jasmine’s body stiffened, her heart seemingly shattering silently.
There was a brief silence in the dining room, and the air seed to thin all of a sudden, making breathing difficult for everyone, teetering on the verge of collapse.
It seed like Jocelyn was... in grave danger.
Just then, another car ca to a halt in the yard, and everyone turned at the sound, recognizing the familiar vehicle.
The car door opened, and Ian Shelby stepped out. He opened the trunk and took out a pink suitcase.
Everett Morgan’s expression changed as he angrily got up and headed outside!
"Dad!" Finn realized the situation was not good and rushed forward to grab him, "Dad, calm down. Bla won’t help; don’t act too impulsively!"
"How do I explain this to your uncle?!" Everett was stopped by his son, his hands clenched, gritting his teeth in anger, "It was Ian Shelby who lost Jocelyn! Shouldn’t he give an explanation?!"
"He can give an explanation but can’t bring Jocelyn back," Finn accepted the reality, although he was also deeply in pain.
Everett Morgan was very angry, yanked his son’s hand away, and strode towards the living room!
Jasmine quickly turned to follow him, ignoring her son because, today, she wasn’t siding with him either!
Finn felt powerless, took a deep breath.
Then he turned and held his wife by the shoulders as she stood up, "Honey." He found her body trembling; she was terrified, afraid, not wishing to lose.
"Jocelyn is dead, right?" Hailey Hale slowly raised her tearful eyes to look at him, grabbed his wrist, "You just don’t dare tell Mom and Dad, right?"
Facing his wife’s sorrowful gaze, Finn was deeply pained, "The chances of her being alive are slim, but they haven’t found the body yet."
"..." Hailey Hale couldn’t accept this at all. She slowly let go of him, holding her belly, trying to control her emotions, then taking a deep breath.
Her stomach, for so unknown reason, started to tighten in waves, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Finn didn’t notice, "Co on, let’s go look." He supported her as they stepped towards the living room.
At this mont, Ian Shelby had already reached the entrance of the living room with the suitcase but was blocked by the two elders from entering.
Judging by the expressions of the two elders, they probably knew, right?
Ian Shelby was very remorseful, but he had to face it bravely, "Uncle, Aunt."
"When you agreed to date Jocelyn, how did you promise us?" Everett Morgan, with tears in his eyes, restrained his emotions and directly questioned, "Do you rember that night?! You said you would protect her well!"
