After returning to Oceanic Estate, Sasha told Jonathan that she had agreed to his request.
As expected, Jonathan was delighted to hear that. He then called Janice and Tony over to go to their first stop, The Ataraxy, together with Sasha.
“Don’t worry, Sasha. Even though The Ataraxy is Mr. Jadeson’s residence, he won’t do anything to you since Old Mr. Jadeson has given you permission to go there.” Janice tried to comfort Sasha after seeing her nervous expression on the way.
Sasha gave her an embarrassed smile in response.
She did feel nervous, as Janice had perceived, but it was not because they were going to The Ataraxy. Instead, she was worried that she might not do a good job since it was the first time she took up such a role.
Shortly afterward, Sasha continued to skim through the ledgers in her hand after calming herself down.
She discovered that the ledgers had recorded the expenses of Jared and the extended family over the years. However, there was a big difference in the amount between both sides.
“Why does Gossamer Creek have so little expenses?”
“We’re running a few plantations and small businesses over there. So we don’t need that much money from Oceanic Estate,” Janice explained in a gentle voice.
The Jadesons are involved in plantations too?
Sasha was shocked by that revelation.
Compared to the Jadesons of Gossamer Creek, almost every other family had received tenfold more money from Oceanic Estate, especially Jade Court, Charles’ former residence, and Elk Court, Connor’s former residence.
Why do they need so much money? From Sasha’s professional perspective, the amount of money they received was sufficient to maintain a large company’s cash flow.
At that thought, Sasha closed the ledgers with force and stared intently at the approaching destination with a grim look.
Around twenty minutes later, they arrived at a quadrangle that looked old outwardly but was worth billions in reality. Sasha noticed a middle-aged woman standing at the entrance, waiting for them.
“Nice to meet you again, Tony.”
“Glad to meet you too. Where’s Mr. Jadeson?” Tony asked the woman while getting out of the car. It seemed like Tony was familiar with that woman.
While they were talking, Janice leaned closer to Sasha and whispered, “She’s The Ataraxy’s housekeeper, Amelia Ramsay. She has been serving Mr. Jadeson for a couple of years already.”
Ah, I see. Sasha nodded in response.
Following the greetings, Amelia led the three of them into The Ataraxy.
As they walked into the quadrangle, Sasha discovered something intriguing. Instead of entertaining her, the primary guest, Amelia chatted with Tony while ignoring her.
Interesting.
“Tony and the others are here, Mr. Jadeson,” Amelia called out to Jared as soon as they entered.
