Therefore, Rayna drove straight to Snyder Group.
As soon as she met Jasper, she said, “Mr. Snyder, the private plane my friend was in disappeared because of a problem with the route. Can you please use your resources to locate it?”
“Ms. Garland, I can lend you money, but I really can’t help you with this. You’ll need to contact the air traffic.” Jasper sighed helplessly.
Hearing that, Rayna lowered her gaze, looking at a loss. “I don’t know anyone there.”
Kristie, on the other hand, knew someone there, but that person did not have much authority and would not be able to find anything.
“Do you know anyone there?” asked Rayna, clutching her hands so tightly that her knuckles almost turned white. “I’ll be eternally grateful to that person if he can locate my friend.”
Jasper scratched his chin and pondered for some time. Finally, he raised his brow and said, “Well, I do know someone.”
“Who?”
“You know him, too. I’m sure anything can be found with his help.”
The subtle smile on Rayna’s face froze because she knew who Jasper was referring to. Right then, a bitter smile formed on her lips. “He should still be abroad. His phone had been turned off the entire time back then.”
“According to a reliable source, Mr. Faymon is returning today. Why don’t you try calling him?” asked Jasper with a smile.
Rayna merely pursed her lips and said nothing.
Curtis was very clear with his rejection last time. Why should I look for him only to get myself disappointed again? I came here looking for Jasper because I had no other alternative.
Reading her mind, Jasper advised, “You two have broken up but I am sure you can still be friends. If you don’t want to get Mr. Faymon’s help, why don’t you ask Wyatt? These two are the only ones in Norwal City who can help you now.”
Rayna scoffed, “Wyatt? I’d be worried about him killing my friend rather than failing to locate the plane. I’d rather use everything I have than get his help.”
Jasper figured there must be a bigger story he did not know about when he saw how great Rayna’s hatred was for Wyatt.
“Do you mind telling me what happened?”
“Since you can’t help me, I shall take my leave now.” Rayna hurriedly got up and scurried out of the room.
Seeing that, Jasper pulled out his phone and sent a text.
Truth was, getting the Air Traffic Bureau to investigate the matter was a piece of cake.
However, the thought of Rayna’s relationship with Curtis and how anxious she looked gave Jasper the idea that the matter was not as simple as he thought. Hence, he felt that he should not get involved.
After leaving Snyder Group, Rayna scrolled through her contact list again, only to find there was no one else who could help her except for the two men Jasper mentioned.
Right then, Kristie called and asked Rayna anxiously about her whereabouts. Only when she found out the latter was at the office did she feel relieved. “I’ve gone back with Carl. Should I pick you up later tonight? By the way, please be careful if that mister picks you up later. He’s a pervert. I can’t believe he dares to simply touch me when he’s already so old.”
“Which mister?”
Kristie sounded utterly displeased. “That man who sent you to the hospital when you fainted at the airport last night. He says Curt sent him to protect me. Ugh. Curt is unbelievable. He should’ve gotten someone younger instead—”
However, Rayna had no time to hear her complaints. She only said with exhaustion, “You don’t have to pick me up tonight. I can drive home.”
With that, Kristie hung up, for she knew Rayna was busy.
Having no one else to call, Rayna gritted her teeth and called Gabriel.
The call connected almost instantly, and Gabriel said, “Hello, Ms. Garland. What’s the matter?”
Pursing her lips, Rayna asked, “Is Mr. Faymon back?”
“He’s back, but…” Gabriel paused momentarily before continuing softly, “Mr. Faymon might not want to see you.”
Rayna smiled ruefully in response.
He’s the one who wronged me and not picking up my calls. Why does it sound like I’m in the wrong instead?
“Even if it’s a business matter?”
Gabriel sighed. “I’m sorry, Ms. Garland. I really can’t help you with this.”
