After having dinner at Wicked Wok, it was already past eight o'clock at night. As the end of the year approached, the temperature had dropped in the past two days, and there were fewer people shopping at night, making the streets exceptionally desolate.
Joseph Thompson originally wanted Jaylene to stay with him at Star Ocean City, but Jaylene said she hadn't seen her father for a week and should probably go back before her father started worrying.
Joseph thought about it and felt that was true. Jaylene's father had been calling him these days, and he naturally didn't dare tell Randy Ziel about Jaylene being kidnapped, just saying Jaylene was on a trip.
As for the robbery at home that day, he also told Randy that it should have been Aurora Richardson who stole Jaylene's passport and visa to escape overseas, without mentioning Jaylene being kidnapped.
