A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 212

For a while, he just stood there, shaking his head, contemplatively.

"Oh, by the way, do you remember the wife of Mr. Gary Zheng? Whitney?"

Jasper asked after a pause, suddenly remembering.

"Of course. She's one of our VIPs, and has put most of her assets under our management.

Why do you ask?"

Rufus raised an eyebrow, wondering why Jasper had mentioned her out of the blue.

He also thought about how Cassandra wouldn't be able to take control of the Qin Group if Whitney didn't offer her equity shares.

"I heard she's coming back to develop her career here, and has transferred large amount of funds to her domestic capital account recently. I think she's preparing for a big move soon,"

explained Jasper, looking down at the floor, lost in thought.

"Isn't it normal for our customers to transfer funds from one account to another? What's so strange about it?"

Rufus asked, doubtfully, bringing a pen to his lips. He couldn't place exactly why Jasper was worried or would even bring it up.

"Well...the thing is, she once mentioned to her subordinates she might bring her daughter here to G City as a permanent resident,"

Jasper said, shaking his head in bewilderment, getting to the point.

"And alternately, I remember her saying she had no intention of coming back here and that her daughter liked living abroad. Don't you think there's a catch here? Why would she suddenly change her mind?

Something doesn't feel right to me."

Jasper went on. He was totally intrigued by this news, and didn't realize that he sounded very gossipy now. However, Rufus found it unnecessary. He stood up, walked to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"You know what? It's a pity you didn't choose to become some kind of entertainment-reporter,"

Rufus joked, feeling torn between laughing and weeping. To tell the truth, he had somehow guessed what was on Whitney's mind.

Originally, she'd chosen to settle in Norway for the sake of her daughter's illness, such that they would have a positive change in their lives.

After Cassandra had helped her figure out what was troubling her daughter, the girl must have started doing a lot better, which would explain why Whitney wanted to come back to G City now.

It was only natural for her to want to return to her hometown now that she finally had the chance.

"Anyway, I will leave after going through those files again. Keep a close watch on how things develop. And most importantly, don't worry, stay cool. It's no big deal,"

Rufus comforted Jasper before getting back to his office.

He sat behind his desk, looking through the files Jasper had given him. But in a few seconds, his attention was somehow caught by a photo on the desk. It was a photo of his mother and himself.
