Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Jane couldn’t tell if Emlily was just seeking attention or had another motive.

Even if that was the case, Emlily’s approach might help find Patrick.

But Jane had already thought about it. Even if these people in front of her had the chance to benefit from helping her, what difference would it make?

“I have other things to do, so I can’t give you too much time. I apologize for that, and I thank you once again for helping me find Patrick.”

“If you have any information about Patrick, you can call the number left on the missing person notice.”

After expressing her gratitude to the group, Jane sent them away. April sat on the sofa, watching everything unfold, unable to determine what these people really wanted.

So April remained silent, waiting for Jane to finish dealing with things before asking her what she had in mind.

After Jane stated her thoughts, April understood.

“Your idea is right. Whatever their motives are, as long as they help us find Patrick, it’s fine.”

“I don’t know how much they can contribute, but I understand that a small spark can ignite a great fire.”

April believed that if everyone contributed a little, the people in this city would mobilize together and determine if Patrick was here or not.

Even if it was highly unlikely to find Patrick in this city in the end.

So April believed in utilizing all the fans, internet users, and the power of the media.

However, this was a double-edged sword. It was likely to be influenced in the wrong direction, which was why April hadn’t dared to suggest it before.

But now, with these fans actively reaching out to help Jane, April thought it could work.

However, when Harrison heard these words, she felt that the situation had changed. But now Jane wouldn’t consider all of that.

So Harrison hesitated whether she should voice her concerns or not.

After a short hesitation, Harrison spoke.

“If fans and internet users get involved in this, have you considered what the final outcome might be? Have you even read the discussions on the forums?”

“It’s highly likely that some people will be led astray. Even if their initial intentions are pure, some will eventually take a wrong path. It’s a direction we don’t want to see.”

Harrison’s words demonstrated rational thinking.

But Jane, as Harrison had expected, didn’t consider all of that.

“So what if they go off track? At most, they’ll create more controversies. It might only have a slight impact on my reputation. Do I even care about that?”

“They can’t do anything to the company now. I asked about the company’s situation yesterday, and everything is running normally, not to mention my father is there.”

Jane had taken these actions, but she still paid attention to the company’s affairs. She knew what the company was doing and felt satisfied with its current operation.

“The key is to maintain this attitude within the company, so competitors won’t find any loopholes.”

“And of course, I’ve considered the worst-case scenario. I mentioned that before.”

Jane remained consistent in her attitude, leaving Harrison with nothing more to say.

The situation had reached a deadlock. Only Jane believed that this was the way forward, so there was no point in trying to persuade her anymore.

Two days had passed, and it had been five days since Jane posted the missing person notice.

During these five days, Jane received hundreds of leads.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

But none of them were true. Even if someone claimed to have seen Patrick, the result was always the same as the previous days-false information.

Jane sat at home, her anger from the beginning replaced with a sense of despair or wondering if Patrick was truly dead or just doing something, as others had suggested.

Although Jane knew Patrick often disappeared, every time something happened at home, Jane would still see Patrick’s figure.

But now, despite posting the missing person notice all over the streets, Jane hadn’t seen any sign of Patrick, leaving her heart restless.

If it weren’t for Harrison and April constantly comforting Jane, she might have already considered other possibilities.

“We don’t know where Patrick is, but if we keep searching for a few more days, maybe we’ll find a clue.”

“Perhaps Patrick has been busy these past two days and hasn’t seen what’s happening outside. How could she know you’re looking for her?”

Harrison could only use this method to persuade Jane. In the beginning, Harrison had thought of other ways to accomplish the same goal.

But now, Harrison was as helpless as Jane, and even her attempts to persuade had become monotonous.

She no longer contemplated which methods would produce the best results. Her way of persuading consisted of being direct and simple, without any effect.

Harrison looked at April, hoping she could do something to make Jane feel a bit lighter, even if Jane didn’t change her mind. Because over the past few days, Harrison had noticed Jane’s unwavering attitude, so persuasion had no effect.

But Jane’s psychological well-being needed attention. Harrison feared that Jane would collapse.

Yet, Jane hadn’t reached that point, at least not yet. Harrison felt a sort of relief, but she couldn’t allow things to escalate.

“I think Aunt Harrison is right. Right now, you can’t consider anything else. You just need to wait a few more days.”

“The media that were causing a stir in the beginning are much calmer these past two days. We must also remain calm.”

April had been closely following the media reports.

She knew that the direction of the media reflected the direction of the discussions that might arise from the internet. She had learned her lesson in the past.
