"Tail my a*s! We lost him ages ago. The driver was never Jake. It was his assistant. The guy tricked us!"
Abelyn's voice carried a hint of fury. Gah, I never thought that annoying b*stard, Jake, would do something like thislDarn it, where is he now?
Jessica stared out the window and got lost in her own thoughts.
Something's not right. Jake won't play tricks like this for no reason. There is only one rational explanation as to why he is so wary of us. He must be doing something that he doesn't want others to find out.I hope it is not related to Joan!
"Oh, no. Abelyn, we have to go to Joan right away!" shouted Jessica who grabbed Abelyn's arm right away.
Abelyn turned around and stared curiously at Jessica. The former didn't understand why the latter suddenly became so agitated. Did she figure something out? "Jessica, what conclusion have you come to?"
"I suspect that Jake has already done something to Joan," replied Jessica firmly.
She was a businesswoman, after all, so she was more attuned to tricks and was wary of them. Abelyn used to work as a businesswoman as well, but she depended heavily on her family to make things work.
Despite their revelation, one question remained. How do we find Joan? Neither had any idea how to solve the issue.
Abelyn shrugged at Jessica.
Jake will force Joan to marry him as soon as possible... Okay, what do they need to do before the wedding? Jessica closed her eyes and tried to figure it out.
Theyd need to have their wedding photos taken!
Jessica finally got something, but there were too many wedding studios around, so... Which studio are they in? Anxiety instantly engulfed Jessica as she tried to narrow the list down.
"Alright, calm down. Analyze everything slowly," advised Abelyn to comfort Jessica.
Jake is a powerful man, so he would choose a luxurious studio... Jessica's eyes suddenly flung open, and excitement donned her face. She thought that she had guessed which wedding studio they went to, but the truth was that Jake had already anticipated that.
