No matter what Melinda said, Queena felt that she was under too much pressure recently. It was
absolutely true that Emily was dead.
She would never forget the fact that Emily died and that Jonas was framed by Jerry.
If Emily didn't die, then all this would be a joke.
The marriage between Jerry and Stacy made the Soaring Group and the Wang Group have an
invincible pace in the business world recently, and Alston took this opportunity to hold the company's
anniversary.
The threshold of the Soaring Group was high, and after cooperating with the Wang Group, the
threshold was naturally much higher. When Alston drew up the guest list, he had eliminated many of
the old guests.
As the CEO, of course, Jonas had to assist. But when he was making the invitation list, he suddenly
pointed out that he wanted to invite a person who had nothing to do with the Soaring Group.
"The general manager of the Puppet entertainment company?"
When Alston heard the name, he was still a little confused. This was a person who had no cooperative
relationship with him. Moreover, wasn't the Puppet entertainment company from that circle?
It could be said that the Gu family had no good impression of people in the entertainment circle.
"Well, you go to invite Alice Zhang, the general manager of the Puppet entertainment company," said
Jonas to the person in charge of the guest list. Although the person in charge was confused, he did as
he was told.
The invitation was only sent to the Puppet entertainment company. On the anniversary day, many
famous entrepreneurs led by David attended, but Alice, who was invited by Jonas, didn't show up.
"She refused?"
Jonas asked Ted to ask the person in charge what was going on. The message Ted got was that Alice
refused his invitation.
The more she acted like this, the more suspicious he was.
"But Colson Zhang, the chairman of the Puppet entertainment company, came here today." Ted had
inquired about the information in many ways.
"Let's meet him." Jonas's words brought Ted back to reality. He led him to Colson and told him the
information about him along the way.
Although they had investigated the Puppet entertainment company when they knew that Emily had
become Alice Zhang, they naturally paid attention to the chairman of the Puppet entertainment
company.
"Mr. Gu, this is Mr. Zhang of the Puppet entertainment company." Ted introduced Jonas to Colson. The
two of them chatted with each other politely.
"I invited the general manager of your group this time, but I didn't see her today. It's a pity." When
Jonas mentioned Alice, Colson looked as usual.
And he even said dotingly, "Alice has something to deal with today. She'll come next time." Colson
explained with a smile. Feeling that there was something fishy, Jonas clinked glasses with Colson and
pretended to be confused, "I don't know the relationship between Mr. Zhang and the general manager.
I'm curious to see you have the same surname."
Jonas was testing. Seeing that his boss said these words seriously, Ted admired him very much.
Colson didn't change his countenance, nor did he hide anything. He told him his relationship with Alice
directly, "She is my daughter."
Father and daughter? As soon as the relationship was revealed, the scene of many beautiful women
calling him "sugar daddy" appeared in Ted's mind, which made him sick.
Jonas smiled, and then chatted with Colson happily as usual. Ted was stunned.
Jonas kept leading the topic to test Colson, but Colson was a cunning fox, and his answer was
flawless.
"Mr. Zhang, do you know Emily Bai?" Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Jonas asked directly.
"Emily, the female star who was thrown into the sea and died miserably? I've heard of her," Colson
replied. He was an entertainer. If he didn't know the news, it would be a lie.
Such an answer was normal.
"Yes, but I'm not sure if she's dead or not. And now someone has found out that she is very likely to be
your daughter, Alice Zhang,"
said Jonas. Colson's fingers holding the goblet paused for a moment.
"It's a pity that Mr. Gu doesn't want to be a scriptwriter. You are so imaginative," Colson said. Obviously,
he didn't want to admit it, even though Jonas had shown the materials collected from Ted to him.
Colson drank as if nothing had happened. He smiled and said that it was impossible. Alice was his
daughter, not the dead Emily.
However, his expression changed a lot, different from the calm he had been at the beginning. Jonas
was perceptive and believed that Colson must know something, but he had been hiding it from him.
After the banquet, Jonas was worried. He couldn't get any reliable information from Colson, so he could
only continue to investigate.
"Colson is really a cunning old fox. But boss, don't worry too much. We are still investigating. There
must be a way,"
Ted said. In fact, he also felt helpless that he could do nothing to help Jonas.
"Well, thank you,"
said Jonas. After he told some things to Ted, they parted ways.
But as soon as Jonas returned home, he received a call from Ted, saying that he had found something
new.
"Colson and Alice are not father and daughter. They are probably lovers," said Ted. It took his friend a
lot of effort to find the news.
They had no choice but to get some surveillance videos to investigate. Then they found that Colson
and Alice had many intimate actions in a place invisible to outsiders.
Moreover, they hadn't heard that Colson had a daughter before. Alice appeared almost after the
accident of Emily.
No matter it was time or something else, it was exactly the same.
"Lover relationship?" Thinking of this, Jonas thought, 'Emily is really like this. She doesn't work hard
and always relies on others.'
And she had always had such a capital, otherwise she wouldn't escape from him again and again.
"I don't know what she did to control Colson. It's said that she has an extremely high status in the
company,"
Ted said helplessly. He felt that these old men were animals thinking with their lower bodies. They
couldn't walk when they saw women, and they didn't even care about their own company.
However, this time, they were a little impressed by Emily. She was ambitious. Although sometimes the
decisions she made were very risky, they still brought a lot of benefits to the company.
But it was said that the artists of the Puppet entertainment company all got the promotion in that way,
which was in line with the style of Emily.
"In our words, Emily has cast a spell on Colson, an old man who almost couldn't do anything, that
made him unable to extricate himself from loving Emily," said Ted. The words "unable to extricate
himself from Emily" really made him feel sick.
But from the investigation, it was true.
Ted was disdainful, but Jonas was calm when he heard the news. He knew that Emily had the ability to
do that, and she was good at all kinds of crooked ways.
There might be many things that they didn't know.
"Keep an eye on Colson and Alice," said Jonas, rubbing his eyebrows. He hadn't had a good rest
because of these things recently.
It seemed that his mind had been in a state of tension all the time. Only when he was with Melinda
would he be slightly relieved.
However, during this period of time, Melinda's nerves were a little declining because of the incident of
Emily. She used to go to Vern's place frequently, but recently, she was also a little worried about her
own health, not as frequently as before.
However, Melinda would call her father every day. This time, she had a feeling that her father would be
in trouble if she didn't get any news about him for a moment.
Fortunately, Jonas had installed a monitor in the Mo's Home. If Melinda was worried, she could see it
from the monitor.
As long as she knew that Vern was fine.
She was pregnant now, and her body was getting heavier and heavier. It was difficult for her to go out.
"Your belly is getting bigger and bigger these days. Don't run around. I will arrange everything for our
father." Knowing that Melinda was still worried about her father, Jonas had to comfort her before going
out every day. To be honest, looking at Melinda's suddenly bulging belly like a ball, he also felt scared.
Now, he would tremble with fear when he touched her, let alone hugging her.
Looking at her round belly, Melinda was helpless, but she put her fingers on the top and felt the baby
kicking her playfully. A happy smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She grabbed Jonas's hand and put it on her belly, letting him feel the baby's greeting with her in this
way.
"Baby told me to let mom rest at home. He doesn't want to go out," said Jonas dotingly, pinching
Melinda's nose.
Melinda knew that she had been too willful these days, so she agreed obediently.
She also knew that it was not a good time for her to run around now. She'd better have a good rest on
the bed. The Gu's mansion used to be very lively, but today everyone seemed to have social
engagements and was not at home.
All of a sudden, there were only Melinda and Yulia left at home.
Before Melinda gave birth to the baby, she had to walk more. Although she couldn't go outside, she
would still walk at home when she had energy.
It was a little difficult for Melinda to walk upstairs, so she usually went back only to the stairway. But
today when she arrived at the stairway, she heard a strange sound.
She was curious and walked downstairs slowly with the help of the stairs. She was heavy and used to
walking slowly, so there was almost no sound when stepping on the carpet.
