Jasper did not really care about the shipyard. It was not worth it to allocate so much of his efforts into this business.
He only came over personally to handle this issue because he did not want it to affect his parents’ emotions.
However, from the way his parents were behaving right now, it seemed he had to resolve this problem as best as he could. Otherwise, they would be sick with worry.
After lunch, Charlie and Sally headed back to rest. Meanwhile, Jasper and Lucas discussed the investigation procedures to be carried out in order to find out who the snitch was.
Once that was done, Lucas left to continue with his work whereas Jasper and Julian left the shipyard together.
“They plotted against us when we least expected it. We don’t even know what exactly happened. It won’t be easy to find out the truth in just a few days.”
Jasper massaged his temples in the car. He had a headache.
“You can slowly investigate if you don’t manage to find out anything within a few days, Jasper. There’s no need to pressure yourself,” Julian said while he drove the car.
Jasper sighed and said, “I don’t have that much time here.”
While he spoke to Julian, Jasper noticed a figure outside the window of the car that moved swiftly along the road. “Julian, stop the car!” he shouted at once.
The Bentley came to an emergency stop by the side of the road.
A short distance away from the car, a huge scene was taking place at the entrance of a high-end residential area.
A man who was pushing a baby stroller and carrying a lot of vegetables with an apron wrapped around his waist was being slapped by an extravagantly-dressed woman in public.
