The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife - Chapter 120: Chapter 120

Soon, Joanna arrived at the surveillance room.
A security guard pulled up all the surveillance videos.
Joanna held her breath and attentively watched the surveillance videos. Joanna was scared that she would miss Irvin, so she was unwilling to take a second to blink.
Bruce was smoking outside gloomily. Jaydon accompanied Joanna to check all the surveillance videos.
After watching dozens of surveillance videos, Joanna did not find anyone suspicious or see Irvin leave the studio.
However, after searching the entire studio, they could not find Irvin.
Irvin seemed to disappear into thin air.
Until now, Irvin had been missing for more than three hours.
Joanna was about to break down. She kept blaming herself, her eyes were bloodshot, and her body was uncontrollably trembling.
Jaydon blamed himself even harder. Then he asked the security guard to pull out more surveillance videos of other places.
The security guard frowned and sighed, replying, "I'm afraid that's all I can do. I only have surveillance videos of this area.
"You need to go to another surveillance room if you want surveillance videos of other areas."
Jaydon said, "Then let's rush to the next surveillance room now."
The security guard was replaying the video. Suddenly, Joanna saw a familiar figure on the screen.
Joanna said, "Wait! Rewind this video. I want to watch it again."
"Okay!" Then the security guard replayed it.
A tall and think man appeared in that video.
The camera did not capture that man's face, but Joanna found that man familiar. Joanna almost recognized that man at a glance. She cried inside, "This person is Derick Haynes!"
Watching the video, Joanna suddenly grabbed the mouse and zoomed the screen to see this man.
Jaydon frowned and murmured, "Is this person..."
Joanna was shocked and cried, "It looks like he is Derick Haynes!"
"Derick Haynes?" repeated Jaydon.
Joanna firmly replied, "Yes, it must be Derick!"
Joanna's heart skipped a beat. She felt a chill run down her spine after confirming that it was Derick Haynes.
Joanna thought, "Ingrid and her three children all hate me deeply. It sounds reasonable if Derick wants to take revenge on me.
"The meanest way to hurt me is to hurt my children."
Jaydon shook his head subconsciously and said, "Really? Derick is your brother to some extent. He's probably not the one who takes away Irvin."
Joanna sneered and thought, "Heh. Siblings from another mother are worse than strangers.
"At least strangers won't desire to kill me. As for my half-brothers and sisters, they wish me to disappear from the world."
"That could actually be Derick," said Joanna.
Jaydon said, "But Derick didn't bring anything with him, and we didn't see he's with Irvin."
Joanna urged, "Call the police now. I'm afraid it will be too late if we keep wasting time here."
Jaydon sighed and replied, "Irvin has not missed up to 24 hours yet. Even if we call the police, I'm afraid they won't file a case."
Joanna suddenly stood up and said emotionally, "I'm going to find and confront Derick!"
Jaydon suggested, "Maybe call your father first and see where Derick is. Ask Derick if he has seen Irvin."
Joanna said, "Good idea. I'm calling my father now."
Joanna immediately took out her phone and called Shaun.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The phone got through quickly. Shaun's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, Joann!"
Joanna greeted, "Hey, dad!"
"Joann, what's the matter?" Shaun sounded very cold.
"Is Derick home?" asked Joanna.
Shaun was stunned when he heard that, thinking, "Derick never gets along well with Joanna since they were young. Now Joanna calls me and asks where Derick is. What a surprise."
Shaun subconsciously glanced at Derick's room and replied, "It looks like Rick goes out. Why are you looking for him?"
"Any idea of where Derick went?" Joanna sounded anxious.
"I don't know," said Shaun.
"Can you give me Derick's number? I need to speak to him now!"
"Oh. Wait a moment. I'm looking for it." Shaun said and was about to open his contact list!
Ingrid heard Shaun on the phone. Then she walked in coquettish steps and came downstairs.
Ingrid asked, "Hubby, who are you talking to?"
"It's Joann," said Shaun.
Ingrid's face changed when she heard that. Ingrid shrieked, "Why are you talking to that bitch?"
Shaun said, "Come on. Stop it."
Then Shaun replied to Joanna, "Joann, I can't find it now. I'll send it to you later.
"By the way, why are you looking for Rick?"
Joanna paused for a moment and said with a sobbing tone, "My son is missing. It's likely that Derick took Irvin away!
"Dad, ask Derick if he took Irvin away!"
Hearing this, Shaun was shocked and subconsciously retorted, "What? That's impossible. Why would Rick take your son away?"
"Dad, this is serious. It could be a criminal case. Ask Derick to send Irvin back if he did take away Irvin. Otherwise..."
Before Shaun could hear Joanna finishing her speech, Ingrid snatched the phone.
Ingrid cursed to the phone, "Bitch, I'm telling you. Don't you dare wrong Rick!
"Your son is lost. Then you should blame yourself for not looking after him. The blame for your son's missing should not be on others!
"If you dare to slander my son again, I'll sue you! Bitch, you deserve to lose your son! This is God's punishment for you!"
Pomp! Ingrid hung up the phone after finishing her scolding.
"Hello? Hello?" Joanna took a deep breath. Then she tried her best not to break down and forced herself to calm down.
Joanna said to herself, "At this moment, my brain will only work when I'm calm."
After hanging up the phone, Ingrid kept cursing.
Shaun frowned and asked, "Where is Rick?"
Ingrid replied, "Who knows? Rick probably goes out with that barely-known star."
Hearing this, Shaun could not help sighing. He complained, "It's been so long since Rick graduated. He should get a job!"
"Rick does nothing every day. All he does is to flirt with female stars."
Ingrid glared at Shaun and scolded, "It's all because of your good daughter, Joanna! Otherwise, would Rick have nothing to do?
"Joanna doesn't allow anyone from the Haynes family to enter the company. The Haynes Group has become her own company!
"Bitch. Such an awful woman. I wish a car hits and kills Joanna someday!"
Shaun couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and was about to go upstairs, complaining, "Can't you keep your mouth shut?"
Ingrid chased after Shaun and continued to scold him, "Why should I shut my mouth? I can't wait to take Joanna down.
"What a cunt. I wish Joanna a wonderful death!"
Shaun was in the middle of getting upstairs. He suddenly stopped and looked at Ingrid, saying, "Enough. Call Rick now and ask if he's seen Joann's child.
"I'm worrying that it would be Rick."
Ingrid rolled her eyes. However, hearing those words, Ingrid had a heavy heart. Then she took out her phone and called Derick.
After the phone got through, Ingrid's expression changed instantly, and her tone became gentle. "Hi, Rick!"
"Mom, what's the matter?" Derick sounded very impatient.
Ingrid said, "The bitch Joanna called just now and asked if you've seen her damn son?
"Tell me the truth. Did you see Joanna's damn son or not?"
Derick replied, "What? Why would I have seen Joanna's son?"
"Really?" asked Ingrid.
Derick replied, "No, I didn't! Don't call me so often. It's annoying!"
"Oh, okay, okay!" Ingrid was afraid that her son would get angry.
Ingrid had a sharp personality and was not afraid of anything. Sadly, she failed to treat the same to her children.
"I'm going to hang up if you don't have other things. Oh right, mom. Transfer me another 100 thousand dollars!"
Hearing this, Ingrid's temper flared up. She questioned, "I gave you 100 thousand dollars last week. Why are you asking for money now?"
Derick replied, "It was just 100 thousand dollars. It's only enough for days. Cut the crap. I want it now."
Ingrid said, "No money for you. You're extravagant. Do you think we have a money printing machine at home?"
"Spending 400 to 600 thousand dollars a month. You're such a spendthrift!"
"Mom, how about 40 thousand dollars? Give me now. If you don't, I'll jump off a building!"
Ingrid was even more exasperated after hearing those words.
Ingrid thought, "Rick has spent lavishly since he was young. He will throw a tantrum if I don't give him money. Sometimes, Rick even threatens me by committing suicide."
Unfortunately, there was nothing Ingrid could do.
Ingrid complained, "You're so annoying. I'll give you the money later."
Derick said, "Thank you, mom. I'm gonna hang up if you don't have other things." Then he hung up the phone.
Derick was trying to get a barely-known star.
That girl asked Derick to buy everything for her, such as bags, cars, and jewelry. Once Derick refused to buy anything, that girl would immediately stop talking to Derick.
Derick was from a rich family. However, he had no ability to become rich. Thus, Derick had to ask his parents for money. It was impossible to get tens of millions of dollars from Derick at once.
That girl was smart and planned to dig more gold from rich men when she was young.
Except for Derick, that girl hooked up with several rich old men.
