Chapter 316: Getting More and More Interesting
The penalty for this project is as high as tens of millions.
Of course, the penalty isn’t the focus; the focus is on offending Jasper Sinclair, which means there would be no place to stand in Stanton City in the future.
After handling work matters, he returned alone to the hospital. According to the doctor, today was the day Nora Northwood was expected to wake up.
Jasper Sinclair didn’t want to miss the first moment Nora opened her eyes; he had many apologies he hadn’t had the chance to express.
However, all his expectations vanished the moment he arrived at the hospital.
Raina Sinclair gave him a glance and softly consoled, "This injury is quite serious, perhaps it will take longer for her to wake up."
Jasper Sinclair, however, didn’t want to wait even for a quarter of an hour longer. He found the chief surgeon who operated on Nora and inquired with a hint of demand in his tone: "Why hasn’t my wife woken up yet?"
Faced with a businessman, the doctor, even if displeased by his attitude, had no choice but to lower his head.
"Mr. Sinclair, the exact time for waking up depends on the patient’s own willpower. Based on our current observations, the patient might need more time to recuperate."
The doctor implied: the patient doesn’t want to wake up.
Jasper Sinclair, as sharp as he was, naturally understood.
"Is there a way to make her wake up sooner?"
"Talk about things that might make the patient happy; her subconscious will feel it."
In the following days, Jasper Sinclair stayed by the bedside without leaving.
Until new information came from Louis Hayes: "Liam Jacobs has proactively suggested joining our company."
If Louis hadn’t mentioned this person, Jasper Sinclair almost would have forgotten him.
"Do we have all the details on him?"
"He’s a rather straightforward person; after graduating, he worked in a photography team until the end of last year, when he was dismissed due to a conflict with someone."
At this point, Louis paused and added, "He once shot a promotional video for the Woodward Family and seems to have other interests concerning Miss Woodward."
Rachel Woodward thought her plan was flawless, unaware that where the light shines, there’s always a taller shadow.
How could her tricks escape Jasper Sinclair’s sharp eyes?
After a brief silence, Jasper Sinclair personally arranged Liam Jacobs’s placement, "Let him join the design department."
He thought, things are getting more and more interesting...
However, even the shrewdest person has a day for making mistakes.
Jasper Sinclair could never have predicted that Liam Jacobs’s real target wasn’t Nora Northwood, but was him.
As the Lantern Festival concluded, everything returned to normal; the city’s people resumed their nine-to-five lives, Jasper Sinclair included.
Liam Jacobs was successfully placed in The Sinclair Group, precisely in the multimedia design team that matched his expertise.
But the days weren’t as rosy as he imagined.
Everyone in the department knew he hadn’t gone through an official interview and had been pushed in by connections, thus looked at him through tinted glasses.
One day.
Liam Jacobs overheard two colleagues discussing in the tea room.
"He got into our department by relying on some connections."
Listening, he immediately knew who they were talking about.
Liam didn’t turn around but filled his coffee cup and returned to his desk.
He loosened his collar, and the veins on his arm were slightly protruding.
He contemplated the necessity of quickly finding an opportunity to get close to Jasper Sinclair and obtain what Rachel Woodward wanted.
The Sinclair Group has a project that is open for bidding.
The Woodward Family is one of the competitors, and Rachel Woodward desires to secure the project, taking advantage of the project period to further approach Jasper Sinclair.
