Chapter 504: The Man Behind Him
Outside, there was an occasional grunting sound, presumably workers at the site.
Nora Northwood was both shocked and regretful; her thumbnail was about to dig into her skin as she racked her brain trying to salvage the current situation.
She knew very well that Spencer Ford harbored some resentment toward her because of Quentin Ford’s imprisonment, but that little bit of hatred alone shouldn’t be enough to have her tied up in a place like this.
She was certain of this, so she had followed Spencer Ford at the prison gates without hesitation.
As it turned out, she was still too naive about people’s intentions.
Considering everything, there must be others backing Spencer Ford, controlling the outcome.
Amid the sound of construction work, she slowly asked, "Who instructed you to bring me here?"
One sentence woke the dreamer.
How did she know there were others involved?
Spencer Ford had never encountered such a big situation before; his fights at school were just playful scuffles among kids.
His expression fell into Nora’s eyes, both sides equally tense and uneasy.
It must be understood, one of Jenson Sinclair’s orders was not to let Nora suspect there was a third party in this "accident".
Otherwise, his five million would be down the drain.
With determination, he denied Nora’s words, "Someone as brainless as you, I can handle alone."
Nora didn’t believe him, persistently asking, "How much did he pay you? I’ll give you twice as much."
"You think I’m a three-year-old you can deceive? Don’t you have a rich husband? Acting all high and mighty, if you’re so capable, have him come and save you!"
Spencer was invigorated, he tossed Nora’s phone at her feet, aggravating the situation, "Kneel down, and you can pick up the phone. Will you kneel?"
...
The Sinclair Group.
Yvonne Winslow, as customary, was reporting VK’s monthly plan to Jasper Sinclair.
In the midst of the report, he was interrupted, "What’s Nora up to lately?"
"Expanding the company and developing new products." Yvonne replied vaguely, then feeling it was too perfunctory, added half a second later, "President Northwood wants the company to go public soon, probably before the year’s end."
Upon hearing this, Jasper Sinclair felt inexplicably agitated, loosening his tie with one hand as he opened the location tracking program on his phone.
Over the past month, he would occasionally stare blankly at Nora’s location.
Wondering, what was she doing at this very moment?
Sighting Nora’s location at a factory under construction, his eyes froze momentarily before raising them, his expression returning to inscrutably indifferent calm.
"Is she preparing to develop a real estate project?"
This time, it was Yvonne’s turn to hesitate, not understanding why this imposing figure was asking such peculiar questions.
She responded, "No notifications from above yet."
"Above" referred only to Nora Northwood.
Jasper Sinclair continued pondering over the location. As someone who had been kidnapped multiple times in childhood, his keen instincts told him that Nora might be in trouble.
Upon realizing this, the man couldn’t sit still.
He dismissed Yvonne, then dialed the internal phone to summon Louis Hayes.
"Eastmoor District site, Nora had an accident there. Call the police now; you’re coming with me."
Jasper Sinclair’s presence was stern and imposing; Louis Hayes hadn’t fully processed it yet, but his body already started moving, following him out.
