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,"
