NovelEnglishJacob cleaned himself up and he dressed up immediately. After that, he did not even want to have breakfast at hbecause he was simply too anxious to go out. 1 When Claire saw him all dressed up again, she asked him immediately, "Dad, where are you going so early in the morning?" 7 Jacob replied cheerfully, "I have already made an appointment to meet up with your Aunt Hall. Both of us are going to visit our alma mater together today since she has not been back in Aurous Hill for more than twenty years now!" 5 When Claire heard this, she suddenly got angry and she blurted out, "Mom has already been missing for more than two days and two nights now and there is no news on her at all. How could you still go out to hang out with Aunt Hall at a tlike this? Aren't you going to go out to help us to look for Mom at all?" 7 "Well..." Jacob chuckled slightly before he replied in a secretive tone, "Well, aren't you and Charlie already looking for Mom? After all, both of you are still young and it's better for the both of you to be out looking for her instead of relying on an old man like me! I will just wait patiently for your good news then!" 3 Claire replied angrily, "Dad, I'm really going to get angry at you if you continue acting like this! Why are you still unable to differentiate your priorities even at a tlike this? Is accompanying Aunt Hall even more important to you than my mother's safety now? Is it really that important or urgent for you to go and visit your alma mater today?" 5 Jacob knew that it was wrong of him to be behaving in this manner. He knew that he should not be acting like this. Therefore, he did not want to continue talking about this matter and discussing what was right or wrong with his daughter anymore. At this time, he simply waved his hand in a hurry before he said, "Oh, it's getting late now. I'll have to leave now or I'll be late! I'll talk to you when I return hlater. Bye!" 2 Jacob had already stepped out of the house when he was done speaking.

When Claire saw Jacob leaving the house, she told Charlie angrily, "Did you see that? Dad isn't even bringing you along with him to meet her today. I believe that Aunt Hall won't be bringing her son along with her today too. Both of them are definitely going to enjoy their talone together..." s Charlie hurriedly replied, "Oh, Claire! You're overthinking it. Both of them are simply old classmates who are meeting up to catch up with one another. Who says that they're enjoying their talone together?" s Claire's eyes were red as she said, "You don't need to cup with any excuses for them. I can already see what they are both up to at a single glance..." 5 After that, Claire asked Charlie again, "By the way, did your friends help you to ask around about Mom's whereabouts? Did they give you any updates on the situation at all?" Charlie replied, "They toldthat they would be able to givean answer by today. I've also asked them to inquire more about the situation and they toldthat there has been no serious public security or criminal cases lately. Therefore, the probability of Mom being in danger is very low. We should be able to find Mom in a day or two." 1 As soon as she heard Charlie's words, Claire's mood improved greatly. She sighed before she said, "I really hope that your friends are reliable. It would be great if Mom could just chtoday. Otherwise, I think I'm really going to collapse soon..." 6 Charlie could not help but think to himself that it would be more than possible for him to allow Elaine to chanytime.
However, the main point was that she had to keep her mouth shut.

At this time, Charlie sent Isaac a text message and asked him: "How are things going with my mother-in-law?"
Isaac quickly replied: "I have already asked the police officers to speak to her. They told her that this is a very serious matter. I believe that she will not dare to go around spouting any nonsense!" 1
Charlie relaxed a little as he said, "Well, why don't we do this then? Send more people into the detention center to create a scene there so that she will have a deeper and scarier impression of the severity of this case. This way, we will be able to make sure that she keeps her mouth completely shut!"
