Chapter 1055
"I'll be sure to watch him closely...."
Jared was having lunch in a restaurant with Claus, to whom he said, "Before leaving the country, I asked you to investigate the accident that my grandpa was involved in.Have you managed to gather anything?"
"I found a video."
Claus handed his phone to Jared.
"Wait, why is there only one video? Shouldn't there be a few other surveillance cameras on that stretch of road?" Jared said with his brows raised.
"All of the cameras along that street were damaged," Claus reported.
"I have every reason to suspect that someone had sabotaged them in advance.The only one that was left untouched was the one which got us this footage, and it was located right outside a mall about a few hundred yards away.The truth of the matter is, we aren't able to identify the car by its brand or its license plate because of the distance and the angle."
Jared watched as he listened to Claus.
The instant he saw his grandfather's car being slammed into, his heart sank.He clenched the fork in his hand, his fist turning a shade of white.
"Do everything you can to find out who owns that car and who was driving it that day," Jared said in a bitter tone of voice.
"Aye."
"Mr.Johnston, it is really you?" a female voice asked.
Looking up, he saw Chloe, who was also here for lunch.She thought the two figures at this table looked familiar, and so, she came over to see if it was Jared.
Jared handed the phone back to Claus and greeted her with a blank stare.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here for lunch."
Chloe smiled at him while looking him in the eye.
"I guess I'm lucky to have bumped into you here.Mind if I join you?"
"Aren't there plenty of unoccupied tables around here?" Jared said, craning his neck and looking around the restaurant.
"Perhaps I'm not here at the right time," she said.
"I'm afraid the other tables are reserved."
"Reserved?" Jared queried, knowing that it is another one of her pretenses.
"Why haven't you made a reservation for yourself?"
"I was in a hurry and my assistant forgot to do it for me."
