Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Very Good, Very Good!

"Assistant Winters, where has James Thompson gone?"

Julia Land softly inquired while eating the lunch that Jasper Winters had brought her.

She was sick, and as much as she knew Mr. Thompson, he wouldn’t just disappear after leaving in the morning.

Something must have happened.

Jasper Winters touched his forehead with his hand, considering how to begin.

If he spoke now and the lady boss’s health took a turn for the worse with the boss absent, the trouble could be significant.

Julia Land did not insist that Jasper Winters answer immediately; she forced herself to eat until she was seventy percent full before stopping.

Regardless, the first priority was to recover her health.

Jasper Winters quickly cleaned up the bowl and chopsticks.

It was then that Julia Land looked up at Jasper Winters, "Speak, don’t worry about me."

Whatever was making Jasper Winters hesitate, she guessed, must be serious.

Respectfully, Jasper Winters poured a cup of water for Julia Land and then said, "The BOSS is at the police station and needs to stay there for a while."

Julia Land’s pale fingers rubbed the cup, "What happened?"

Jasper Winters glanced at Julia Land and then lowered his gaze, "They arrested a facial reconstruction surgeon named Jason Gold. The BOSS suspects that he might... have done facial reconstruction surgery for Miss Dale. We just suspect it; we don’t have any evidence, so some questionable methods were used."

Julia Land’s eyes instantly sharpened as she stared at Jasper Winters, asking through gritted teeth, "And what happened?"

Jasper Winters sighed internally, pulled out a tablet from his bag, and displayed a photo of Miss Dale Land after the predicted results of her surgery, based on Jason Gold’s description, then handed it respectfully to Julia Land.

"We still don’t know the exact appearance of the wound after it heals. This is the potential post-surgery appearance, as adjusted from Jason Gold’s descriptions."

Now that man must be hiding somewhere with Miss Dale, waiting for her facial reconstruction wounds to heal.

If post-operative care isn’t taken seriously, such surgery could lead to infections and, in severe cases, can be fatal.

Jasper Winters knew this, James Thompson knew this, and Julia Land knew this as well.

Julia Land’s fingers trembled as they touched the image on the screen.

A face both strange and familiar entered her sight, instantly tightening her heart.

Her daughter’s eyes were still bright, but the rest of the face was almost unrecognizable.

"Assistant Winters, we can’t search for her in an overt fashion," Julia Land warned in a choked and hoarse voice, "I’m worried that if that man hears about it, he might do something horrible again."

Jasper Winters nodded, "I understand, I’ll instruct them to search carefully."

Julia Land wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "How long will Mr. Thompson be at the police station? What happened to the one named Gold?"

"Our legal team is handling the BOSS’s situation. Jason Gold had his arm and leg crippled. According to the law, causing serious injury to someone can result in a three to ten year fixed-term imprisonment. However, it’s probably not Gold’s first time doing such illegal surgeries. Once the police find evidence, our legal team will try to get the BOSS’s sentence reduced to house arrest."

House arrest still allows for a certain degree of personal freedom, not imprisonment in jail, but restriction from leaving the country or the residence.

Julia Land gripped the cup tightly, her knuckles whitening, "I see, Assistant Winters, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that Julia Land could remain calm, Jasper Winters breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s what I should do; please take care of yourself."

Julia Land thanked him, and asked that Jasper Winters needn’t spend time visiting her at the hospital anymore.

After Jasper Winters left the hospital room.

Julia Land called Douglas Hayes, "Douglas, do you have someone trustworthy and discreet who can help with a search?"

Over the phone, Douglas Hayes paused before responding, "I’ll make arrangements. Who are you looking for?"

Julia Land, "My daughter has been taken away."

She quickly forwarded the photo to Douglas Hayes, "Remember, don’t attract too much attention; it may alert this man, and their... faces are probably still bandaged from the surgery and won’t look like the photo yet."

Douglas Hayes felt an immediate jolt of concern, his expression turning grave.

Julia Land continued, "Also, keep an eye on the Yeat Family and Noah Quarter."

Douglas Hayes sensed the gravity of the situation, "I’ll arrange for someone to investigate discreetly."

After hanging up, Julia Land closed her eyes and let out a gentle sigh.

She needed to recover quickly; she couldn’t allow herself to be a burden in such a fragile state.

She couldn’t cry.

Until she found her daughter, she wouldn’t allow herself any weakness.

**

Jasper Winters spoke to Julia Land every day to update her on James Thompson’s situation and the latest developments in the search for Dale Land.

Currently, other than lawyers, James Thompson wasn’t allowed visitors.

Julia Land cooperated with the doctors for her treatment every day.

Tyler Hughes was now in charge of bringing her three meals a day, as well as bringing documents for her to sign and updating her on the company situation.

Julia Land finished signing the day’s documents.

Tyler Hughes handed her a document, "The person in charge of the All Brand Agency is acquainted with Uncle Moore’s current wife’s brother Finn Hamilton; they were classmates in college."

Julia Land flipped through the documents, her brow furrowed.

She analyzed the information in her mind while simultaneously considering the recent move by Mason Moore and the others to sell company shares, quickly surmising their intent.

Such clever scheming!

Julia Land took a deep breath. If Uncle Moore and the others succeeded in their plot, the company could face bankruptcy, and the shares in her hands would become worthless!

"Assistant Hughes, contact Mason Moore and the others, meet tomorrow at two o’clock."

If they thought they could outmaneuver her, they would soon see who outmaneuvered whom.

**

"Mason Moore has not contacted us for so long; has she realized something?" Mason Moore asked with worry.

Uncle Moore frowned, "Wait a few more days; if she doesn’t buy our shares, we’ll sell them to someone else."

He was still slightly vexed. If he could sell the shares to Julia Land, her loss would be much greater.

Just then, Mason Moore’s phone rang.

He answered the call.

A young man’s voice came over the phone, "Hello, Mr. Moore, I’m Director Land’s assistant. Are you available tomorrow at two in the afternoon? My boss would like to discuss a matter with you."

Mason Moore gestured his phone towards Uncle Moore, mouthing the words "Julia Land."

After pressing the speakerphone button, he said, "Is it just me whom Julia Land wants to meet, or...?"

Assistant Hughes replied on the other end, "Not just you; she also has asked to meet with Logan Moore and the others."

Mason Moore pretended to think for a moment, then responded, "Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow at two in the afternoon."

After hanging up, Mason Moore looked at Uncle Moore and smiled, "Julia Land is meeting us tomorrow; it seems she has decided to buy our shares."

Unable to contain his excitement, Uncle Moore slapped his knee twice, laughing, "Excellent, excellent! The fish has finally taken the bait!"
