Jocelyn didn’t notice that her mother was missing until the next day.She had been with Luke in a hotel
the previous day.
When she got home and saw that Fiona was still not back, she instantly smelled something fishy.She
then asked Bernie uneasily, "Dad, where is my mom? It’s so late.Why isn’t she back home yet?"
Bernie harbored inveterate hatred for Fiona now that he knew what she had done.Her whereabouts
was no longer his business.
With his legs crossed, he glued his eyes to the TV and responded, "Am I your mother’s keeper? I don’t
know where she is, and nor do I care!"
Jocelyn didn’t have the strength to argue with her father.She just slammed the door and left angrily.
Since she couldn’t get through to her mother or find her, she decided to file a missing person report at
the police station But the efforts of the police were also futile.
When they checked the surveillance cameras along the way, they found that Fiona was last seen at the
shopping mall.
But then she had suddenly vanished out of sight.
The cops blamed this on blind spots and the busy crowd in the shopping mall.
They indirectly told Jocelyn that there was nothing more they could do.
Since Jocelyn had exhausted all her options, she was forced to ask Luke for help.
"Mr.Turner, please help me this time." She burst into tears and was out of breath.
Luke still fancied her for the time being, so he was prepared to do whatever she wanted.
"Hey, don’t cry.Don’t worry, your mother will be found.I’ll ask my men to look for her immediately."
Luke had the best private investigators on his payroll, so he thought this matter was a piece of cake.
Much to his surprise, his men found no trace of Fiona after combing the nooks and crannies of the city.
"Do you know if your mother offended someone? My men weren’t able to find any clue.Perhaps one of
her enemies is behind her disappearance," said Luke.
The Turner family was one of the most powerful families in Seacisco.
Only a few people could compete with them.
Hot tears welled up in Jocelyn’s eyes when she heard this report.
After a long silence, she remembered that Charis previously said that Janet had the support of
Brandon.
She snapped her fingers and said, "Yes, I suspect… I suspect Brandon Larson!"
‘I’m sure that man has a hand in this.
After all, Janet had escaped death by the whiskers.
It seems he’s taking revenge for Janet because of what happened!’ she pondered.
Brandon was one of the few people that Luke feared.
He didn’t want to get into his bad books.
At this moment, he reasoned that it wasn’t worthwhile to offend such an important person for the sake
of Jocelyn.
He said lightly, "Anyway, I’ll continue to help you look for her.That’s the best I can do."
Jocelyn wasn’t born yesterday, so she knew he didn’t want to go all out in helping her.She became
more worried after hanging up the phone.
If Brandon had really abducted her mother, he would soon learn that she was also involved in Janet’s
near-death experience.
All of a sudden, Jocelyn felt sick.
The feeling of nausea went up to her throat.She rushed to the bathroom and vomited.
What’s wrong with me? Why did I throw up all of a sudden? Was it something I ate?’ She was still trying
to fathom why she was nauseous when something dawned on her.
Her monthly period had been delayed for more than two weeks.
Jocelyn rushed to the hospital and did a pregnancy test.
The test result showed that she had been pregnant for a month.It was undoubtedly Luke’s child.
Although Luke had ordered her to take contraceptives whenever they had sex, she didn’t obey him
because Fiona told her not to.
Her mother had said that having a child for Luke would help her become the new Mrs.Turner.
Jocelyn’s joy knew no bounds at this moment.
Her hope to survive this precarious situation was instantly revived.
‘Wow! This is great news.
This baby came at the right time.
I’ll use my pregnancy to secure a more stable position in Luke’s life very soon! It’s a known fact that
rich and powerful families always attach great importance to the eldest son.Luke only has a daughter
now, so he would be glad to have a son.Something tells me he will shower me with goodies and make
me his wife after I tell him that I’m carrying his child.There is no way he will abandon me with this
pregnancy, nor will he want me to get hurt.I won’t be in grave danger even if my mother tells Brandon
that I had a hand in Janet’s accident"
At the thought of this, Jocelyn smiled happily.
Getting married to Luke had been her greatest ambition ever since she started dating him.Now that she
was pregnant with his child, she was confident that she was about to clinch the Mrs.Turner title.
