Chapter 1452 He Hoped For The First Scenario
Jerry didn't utter a word. His gaze was gloomy.
When Armand mentioned that someone was keeping an eye on Brody, Jerry began to suspect if it was that person.
However, he had planted quite a lot of his men in the Pann family.
If Sebastian sent someone to Jadeborough, Jerry would definitely know about it.
During this period, Jesse had also been closely following Sebastian. Now, he learned from Jesse that Sebastian
never left Xedells.
If it's not him, who else has the ability to make Charlotte disappear without a trace?
Jerry couldn't find Charlotte, nor could he find Director Lin. He could only hope that Director Lin had taken her
somewhere. If it was Sebastian...
Jesse felt a sudden shift in the atmosphere within the car, so intense that even he, who was leading a dangerous
life, felt a chill run down his spine.

Seeing Jerry gripping the steering wheel tightly to the point that the veins on the back of his hands bulged
menacingly, Jesse seemed to guess something. “Has something happened to your girlfriend?”
Jerry said, “She has gone missing.”
Upon learning from Jerry's brief words that Charlotte had been kidnapped, Jesse remained silent without uttering a
word.
Charlotte harbored a deep hatred for the Gaudette family due to her father's death. In order to cheer her up, Jerry
got rid of Benedict first and then caused Gwendolyn to become vegetative.
Benedict was once a prominent figure in the political sphere. The consecutive incidents involving him and his wife
had forced the higher-ups to take notice.
No matter how careful Jerry was, the government office could find out anything they wanted to investigate.
The trouble Jerry brought to the Pann family, naturally, left Sebastian fuming. Moreover, Jerry wasn't doing all these
foolish things for the family, but merely for a woman.
If anyone was to be linked to Charlotte's disappearance, Jesse would also first think of Sebastian.
“Sebastian really hasn't left Xedells for a while.” Jesse knew what Jerry was worried about. He took a puff of his

cigarette and sighed. “I did try to advise you back then, but you wouldn't listen...”
Sebastian was ruthless and merciless. If Charlotte was truly in his hands, she would be left with no choice but death.
Jerry stared at the road ahead, his voice sounding gloomy as he said, “If he didn't send anyone to Jadeborough,
there are only two possibilities. One, he really didn’t send anyone here. Second, he found out about the spies I
planted in the Pann family.”
Jerry also knew the capabilities of Sebastian, but he hoped more for the first scenario.
Later on, Jerry didn't speak to Jesse anymore. Once they reached the city, he took Jesse directly to the
condominium where Charlotte lived.
Sasha was in the living room playing with playdough. Seeing Jerry return, she showed him the little animals she had
made. Then, as if remembering something, she took out a small clay figure from a bucket nearby.
“Aunt Charlotte made this. It's you, Uncle Jerry,” said Sasha.
Sasha knew that Charlotte had an argument with Jerry. So, Charlotte didn't make eyes for the little clay figure out of

spite. Later, Sasha secretly made a pair of eyes for the little clay figure.
Jerry glanced at the little clay figure, then carefully put it away.
Jerry gently rubbed Sasha's cheeks and said to her, “Your Aunt Charlotte is busy and won't have time to accompany
you in the future. So, I've found this mister who will keep you company. You can go hang out wherever you want in
the future.”
Jesse thought he must have misheard something. With a shocked expression, he looked at Jerry, as if he was quietly
asking the latter if this was a joke.
Jesse had a rugged appearance, and given his past involvement in illegal activities, he looked rather fierce. This
reminded Sasha of Godzilla from the cartoons.
However, Sasha understood that Jerry had to go and coax Charlotte, so he wouldn't have time to accompany her.
Thus, Sasha obediently nodded in agreement.
Jesse pulled Jerry aside for a private chat. “My home is in Jadeborough, I came back for the new year. I can also
help you with your work, but you're asking me to...”
Jesse glanced at the child in the living room before adding, “Are you seriously asking me to babysit?”
