Chapter 643: Sorry for Troubling the Police
Meanwhile, Jasper Sinclair had also received the news. He arrived at VK almost simultaneously with the police.
The police were concerned about the criminals, but he was worried about Nora Northwood, "Are you hurt?" He kept checking Nora’s arms and legs repeatedly, looking extremely anxious.
Nora was amused by his actions but felt that now was not the time to laugh, so she held it back.
She said, "I’m perfectly fine. In broad daylight, what could he possibly do to me?"
Nora needed to go to the police station with Spencer Ford to assist in completing the necessary statements.
Jasper was worried, so he went with them.
After four in the afternoon, the car was stuck in traffic for a while, with many parents picking up their children from school.
The police car passed by a school entrance, where students with backpacks wearing blue and white uniforms filled the surroundings with youthful energy.
Nora thought: If Spencer Ford hadn’t lost his way, he should be someone who lived around here. Unfortunately, the father can’t compare to the son.
...
After finishing the statements, the two received a call from The Sinclair Residence.
Raina Sinclair said there was a guest visiting at home and hoped they would come back for dinner together.
Usually, Grandma Sinclair organized family dinners, and it was rare for the aunt to initiate, indicating the importance of this guest in her mind.
Over the phone, Jasper didn’t inquire much and agreed directly.
He and Nora didn’t return to the villa. Instead, they turned the steering wheel to the right, headed onto the highway, and made their way to The Sinclair Residence.
What began as gloomy weather had completely cleared up, with the sun breaking through the thick clouds.
Golden sunlight streamed through the car windows, illuminating the two nestled together.
Nora muttered, "I’ve never seen Aunt so nervous before."
"If nothing goes wrong, we might have an uncle now."
Some time ago, Grandma Sinclair had arranged for Raina Sinclair to take a husband, in circumstances somewhat similar to Nora’s back then.
The other family’s business was in decline, desperately needing a capital injection to recover.
The Sinclair Family provided this funding, on the condition that there be a period of contact with Raina Sinclair.
Jasper was not very clear about what happened later; he was just holding on to see for himself.
The Sinclair Residence.
The whole family was gathered, only Jasper Sinclair and Nora Northwood were left, feeling a bit awkward when they entered.
"Sorry, Aunt, there was traffic on the road, so we’re late," Nora said to Raina Sinclair.
"It’s fine; I notified you on short notice, returning is all that matters." They exchanged a few polite words, and Raina Sinclair introduced the esteemed guest of the day.
"This is Austin Stewart, heir of Stellar Enterprises, everyone, please get acquainted."
Austin Stewart wore black-framed glasses, giving off a scholarly yet roguish vibe.
He was very polite and greeted everyone.
When it came to Jenson Sinclair, he jokingly said, "Uncle, I’ve heard great things about you."
Stellar Enterprises primarily dealt with medical work and went public in United America over a decade ago, so it was quite a renowned company.
Austin’s attitude towards this title felt rather indifferent.
He said: "It’s a bit early to call me that, we still have to wait some time."
At first glance, there seemed nothing wrong with his words, but upon further thought, there was clearly some other implication.
Among those present, none were adept at scheming, except Jasper Sinclair, who had been mingling in the business world with all sorts of people for a long time, allowing him to hear underlying meanings.
