CHAPTER 738: CHAPTER 738: LOST CONTACT

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Nora Northwood hadn’t received a call or message from Jasper Sinclair for an entire week.

Her intuition told her that something might have happened to the man.

Her mind became incredibly rigid, yet she didn’t just sit and wait, instead secretly contacted Louis Hayes. Before she could ask her question, he preemptively inquired: "Mrs. Sinclair, have you not received any messages from Director Sinclair in a while?"

Initially, Nora was taken aback, then she nodded.

"To be honest with you, starting this month, I lost contact with Director Sinclair."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of their expressions darkened.

Jasper Sinclair was alone and in Melbourne, and now, having lost contact, they didn’t even know where exactly he was.

Nora didn’t know that Hannah Sinclair was also in Melbourne, or rather, she overlooked her from the start.

Unable to get clues from Louis, Nora had no choice but to seek help from others.

There was still one person in The Sinclair Family who she trusted, someone Jasper had instructed her to find before he left, "If you encounter difficulties, go to your aunt for help."

However, this matter was inconvenient to discuss at The Sinclair Residence, so Nora had to meet with Raina Sinclair outside.

Café.

"Aunt, I’ve encountered some difficult matters and may need your help."

Nora’s voice was light and gentle, mixed with a hint of fatigue.

She hadn’t been able to sleep well, worrying about Jasper’s situation.

Raina knew some of the situation, but not all.

Over the next half hour, she listened to Nora narrate the entire sequence of events.

Raina’s brows didn’t relax from the very first second.

Jasper Sinclair hadn’t been around his parents since childhood, and she was the one who had watched him grow up.

To her, besides Grandma Sinclair, he was her closest family.

Quickly, she offered her opinion: "I’ll contact people in Melbourne to investigate Jasper’s situation. I’ll finish handling my own matters and fly to Melbourne tomorrow."

"I will go with you."

"You should stay; The Sinclair Group needs you, and the grandmother needs you."

"No." Nora refused without thinking and then gave her reason, "Aunt, you are the true member of The Sinclair Family, the one The Sinclair Group needs more is you. As for Grandma, we cannot disclose Jasper’s situation to her, it would only add unnecessary worry."

Her words made sense.

After careful consideration, Raina agreed to Nora’s suggestion.

They then discussed the number of people needed for the trip, and the first person they thought of was Louis Hayes.

Louis was the person who had been by Jasper’s side the longest and would surely be of help.

However, The Sinclair Group needed people too.

Nora didn’t want Jasper to return to Stanton City only to find his business empire in ruins.

At her insistence, Louis continued to stay in Stanton City.

Raina remarked: "I will quickly take over Jasper’s work. If you cannot return to Stanton City timely, Louis will come to Melbourne to find you."

Both sides compromised and reached an agreement.

The night before departure, Raina had already informed the people in Melbourne.

This journey, Nora took two people with her.

One was Francis, who was dispatched by Jasper to be by her side, in addition to his role as a driver, he also served as a bodyguard.

The other person was Raina’s capable assistant, proficient in multiple languages, who had been stationed at the Melbourne branch for years, named Tanya Jennings.
