Unable to contact Melody, Helen racked her brains and thought of Melody''s former ssmates.


    Melody was sort of a loner, and over the years, Helen had not seen her make many friends. Melody only brought up one particr ssmate a few times, so Helen assumed they had a good rtionship. Helen quickly went to Melody''s room. Melody had left in a hurry, so she did not take many things with her. Helen searched through her belongings and found a yearbook hidden at the bottom of the cab. Melody only bought a mobile phone when she graduated from college, so she must have written down her former ssmates'' contact information in the yearbook.


    Helen searched for a long time before finding that ssmate''s phone number in the yearbook.


    She called right away, saying, "Hello?"Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    The person on the other end of the line was puzzled to receive a call from Helen. "Yes, who is this?"


    "I''m Melody''s mom. Is she with you right now? Pass her the phone right now!" ordered Helen.


    During college, this ssmate knew that Melody''s mom was not kind to her. She often sided with Melody''s half-sister in bullying her. Thus, upon hearing it was Melody''s mom, the ssmate''s tone immediately turned unfriendly. "Sorry, she''s not with me."


    "How is that possible? Melody only has you as a friend. If she''s not with you, then where else could she be?"


    Only then did the ssmate know that Melody had left home. Considering what Melody had been through, the ssmate felt very sorry for her and grew even more resentful toward Helen.


    "You never cared about Melody at all, and now you''re looking for her? You should be ashamed to call yourself a mother! I would''ve cut off all ties with you ages ago if I were her!"


    The ssmate hung up the phone and blocked Helen''s number.


    Still feeling uneasy, the ssmate sent a message to Melody, [Your mom called me. Seems like she''s looking for you.]


    Seeing the ssmate''s message and recalling Helen''s recent call, Melody could not shake the feeling that something was off. Regardless of what Helen was up to, Melody only knew that it would not be anything good.


    Unable to get information about Melody from her ssmate, Helen became distressed. After much contemtion, she remembered the news she had seen online before. She took out her phone and began searching, hoping to find the previous photos, but all she found was the statement released by Parr Group.


    ''Parr Group? Since Melody has a connection with thispany, they might know where she is now,'' thought Helen.


    She found Parr Group ording to the navigation map.


    "Oh wow, I never expected that good-for-nothing Melody to be acquainted with Parr Group''s boss! Thispany is so big!" Helen could not help but exim when she saw how high-end thepany building


    was.


    Helen was delighted. After all, Melody was her daughter, which meant she was obligated to provide for her mother in her old age if she got rich.


    Helen walked in and strode confidently to the front desk. "Where is your president? I need to speak with him about something."


    The front desk at Parr Group had met a variety of people over the years, including those like the woman in front of them. Without even looking up, the receptionist asked, "Do you have an appointment?" "Appointment? Why would I need an appointment?" Helenpletely considered herself the president''s mother-inw. She dismissed the receptionist and walked toward the turnstile gate.
