Only you in my love novel Chapter 451

The members of the Shi family searched for John for a whole day. They scoured every inch of the rivers in Lexingport City. They even asked the people nearby one by one, but to no avail.

It was Lunar New Year's Eve now. It was supposed to be a family reunion day, but the Shi family was shrouded with a blanket of gloom and anxiety.

Even so, Sam still insisted on holding the family dinner.

James came home exhausted and frustrated. The moment he walked through the door, everyone looked at him expectantly.

"Have you found him?" Dora asked in a hoarse voice. It seemed that she had been crying.

"No." James shook his head, threw his coat aside, and lay down on the sofa.

Nobody made a sound. The air just grew even more sorrowful.

They had searched for John for such a long time, but there was no news at all. There was little hope.

Emma, who was also invited by Sam to dinner, took a seat beside James. She thoughtfully poured him a glass of warm water.

Taking a sip of the water, James smiled tiredly at Emma and rested his head on her lap.

They had been out looking all day and night and had not stopped to rest. James' clothes were so filthy that they had started to smell. His stubble had grown out, and his eyes were red with weariness.

He looked burned out and messy.

"Dora, can you go to your brother's room and get a razor and some shaving cream?" Emma wanted to go get them herself, but James held her hand tightly. She had to ask for Dora's help.

"Okay, I'll get them now," Dora replied obediently.

In less than two minutes, Dora was back with the items Emma asked for. She also brought a blanket for her brother.

James was starting to doze off. Forcing his eyes to stay open, he asked, "Thank you, Dora. Can you check on the news? I want to hear what they're saying about the company."

"Okay." Dora took out her phone and pulled up her mobile browser.

Emma carefully shaved James' beard. Seeing that he was so tired yet still cared about Time Group, she felt a sudden pain in her chest.

It broke her heart to see him like this.

John had a big handle on the economic interests of Lexingport City. Many people were paying attention to the developments of his disappearance. In fact, it was all the media reported about.

Peering at the screen of her mobile phone, Dora read the latest news aloud. "Some asked Time Group whether Uncle John's disappearance would affect the company."

"Has anyone come forth to deal with it?" When James spoke, Emma stopped, lest she hurt him.

It was just a reflex, but it made James feel warm. Her warmth cast away some of his fear and anxiety. He gently rubbed his head against Emma's thigh like a docile cat.

He wanted to assure Emma that he was going to be fine.

Noticing the gesture, Emma felt relieved and smiled.

"Well, the manager of the PR department made a video to give a positive response. The background of the video is her bedroom with a wedding photo hanging on the far wall. I'll play it for you." Dora tapped on the video.

The gentle voice of Time Group's PR manager came through Dora's phone.

"Our friends from the media, thank you for your concern. Our response is that this matter will not influence the future of Time Group. James Shi has started participating in the decision making of all the company's internal affairs since two months ago."

The video ended there.

After watching the video, James was confused.
