Irish nodded and then called Jay. Unable to connect, she had to leave a voice message to him.
Just finishing the speech, Lenard came in without knocking on the door.
The first word was, "I beg you, please, where is Lilith? Can you tell me?"
"We were also looking for her too." Irish looked at him.
In love, there was no one who had the right to say right or wrong, only to pay one's love and fail one's expectation.
"But you know, Lenard, even if you find Lilith, she will not marry you. Her attitude has been apparent." Irish added.
Lenard felt irritable and yelled at Irish, "The man is your brother? She must have gone to Jay! I don't understand. Why don't I match her? If Lilith and Jay live together, she will not be happy! They are from two worlds!"
Irish heard this, unhappy, frowning, "Lenard, what do you mean? How you dare! Yes, he doesn't have money, and you have power, but he has ideas and a sense of responsibility. This is his strength; I think this is why Lilith still loves him! Don't be too much. You rely on your own family to grab Lilith with morality, and you think you become a pure, noble person out of vulgarity? Lilith is a grown-up. She has her own ideas and choices. I don't think anybody else can arrange for her future."
Lenard was stunned by her words, and his face flushed.
Just then, Irish's cell phone rang.
Looking at it, it was Jay. She put it through instantly.
"You son of a bitch, what are you..." Then, after connecting the call, she scolded him, but she just said a few words, and she was interrupted by the other side, and then stood up and screamed, "What?"
The other side again hurriedly said a word.
"All right, we'll be right there soon." Irish was anxious.
After the end of the call, everyone came up to her. Lenard was more anxious, asking if it was Lilith. Irish clutched her cell phone, looked at Lenard, and said, "You must inform your family to cancel the wedding because Lilith is missing."
"What?"
Everyone was startled.

Joseph pressed down Lilith's escape from marriage and disappearance. He ordered to block the news, and the media was also bought out, monitoring the news on the Internet.
And Lenard's family, this time, also cooperated with the Runestone Group, maintaining uniform words, only saying that they had nothing to say about the delay in marriage for the reason that it was not a good thing. Lenard certainly did not want to be living in people's mouths. But in private, he was unsatisfied with the Lake and decided to stop any form of cooperation with the Runestone Group.
But also, some reporters did not listen to the advice. Instead, they immediately put the news on the Internet. Joseph was furious and sent a letter of attorney directly to the reporter's company, which didn't dare to offend the Runestone Group and Lenard's family. The head of the news company immediately apologized, made the online disinformation announcement, and dismissed the reporter.
The media was quiet, but not everyone represented the same opinion. After all, there were so many wedding guests, so there were rumours of Lilith's missing.
At this time, Jay, together with Joseph, Roy, and even Lenard's family, were in Lilith's family. Shirley also came, standing beside them without saying any words. Kelly pressed her head, sitting on the sofa with red eyes. William was smoking, and the ashtray had been fully covered fully with cigarette butts.

Jay frowned tightly.
He couldn't stop leaving the police station when he received a short message from Lilith.
His mind was full of Lilith's message when he rushed to the Hudson River. Every word pierced his heart. He shut all the car windows down and ration replaced his haze.
Jay was aware of how big Lilith's wedding was. He naturally imagined her escape from marriage would bring impacts. Since he rushed to see Lilith, he must be ready to take her away. He had decided not to let Lilith face the consequences alone. But he didn't take her to walk away, and he would take her back, back to the Lake, to tell everyone that he and Lilith were in love with each other, so Lilith couldn't marry Lenard.
For all the consequences, he had thought, and he was ready to face, even if William would kill him with a knife, he also wanted to do so.
Beside Hudson River, Jay felt his footsteps could not move, so parking the car and rushing straight to the silver bridge, but she never saw Lilith's figure.
He thought that Lilith was just temporarily walking away. After waiting for a while, he did not see her. He called her mobile phone, but the phone was shut down.
Jay's heart vaguely felt something was wrong. He called over and over again, but the phone was always off.
He began to look near the Silver Bridge and took out the picture of Lilith to every pedestrian, asking if they had seen her. But many people shook their heads. Only a small child said that he had seen the sister in the picture.
Jay asked quickly about the situation.
The children's parents opened a bar near Lotus Park. Because it was the weekend, the boy did not go to school. There were few people early in the morning. Near the Silver Bridge were bars, only in the evening would there be lively. The boy said he saw a pretty sister standing on the bridge and smiled at him. The boy was afraid of strangers, so he went up and talked with her. He asked who she was waiting for. The sister answered, "I'm waiting for my boyfriend."
The child asked, "What is the boyfriend?"
The pretty sister replied, "Boyfriend is the one who loves my favourite friend and me."
The question was apparently profound to the child, so the child ran away to play, and when he was far away, the child looked back and saw a man in a police uniform talking to the pretty sister, who went away with the man.
Forgetting that he was a child, Jay asked him if he remembered the man's appearance. The boy shook his head and only said that the man was a policeman.
