from Since Sophiaâs 200 million dollars were deposited in Randerland Bank, that indicated that the money in that account was dirty money. her corrupt acts.
Her ability to withdraw 200 million dollars as she wished suggested that the sum she had embezzled was astronomical.
It was probably money she reaped from various sources within Beckett Group. Other than that, she must have also used her status as the chairmanâs wife to receive bribes.
âXavier, has Sophia already transferred the money to Jeffrey?â Jasper asked softly, with a glint in his eyes.
âShe has.â
âHas he withdrawn the money?â
âNot yet. Itâs such a large sum of money. He would probably need a dump truck to fit all that money. It would be too obvious if he transported the cash. He still needs to make a getaway.â
Jasper nodded slightly and said, âRight. Then, you should call the cops right now. Have them freeze Jeffreyâs account.â
âOn it, Mr. Beckett.â Xavier got up to get it done immediately.
Indeed, it would be easier for the police to work on something like freezing someoneâs bank account.
âWhen that bugger is unable to get his money, I suppose he will become desperate and rebel against Sophia.â
Alyssaâs eyes were sharp and bright. She said, âRight now, we should have Jeffrey chased down. Once heâs caught, weâll have him spill Landon was sitting with his legs crossed. He chimed in suddenly, âI have news about that man.â
Alyssa and Jasper both exclaimed, âWhat?â
âIf not, why would I come knocking on your door out of the blue? Did you think that I was just dropping by? Even if that were so, I would have brought Lauren with me.â
He placed his left arm over the edge of the couchâs backrest and sat arrogantly like a thug.
âMy people found a lead when they were investigating at South Pier. Two fishermen witnessed Jeffrey getting on a cargo ship at midnight. the day before yesterday.
âThat cargo ship was set to sail to Tsulu. It looks like heâs planning to smuggle himself out of the country.â
âTsulu? Is there any possibility that heâs making a detour to a different country along the way?â Alyssa asked as she furrowed her brows slightly. She had a worried expression on her face.
âThatâs possible. However, the two countries that they will pass by along the way are small countries in the middle of nowhere. How is he going to spend his 200 million dollars there? Use it to light fire?â
Landon continued, âSo I instructed my people to follow him in secret. I even asked them to keep a close watch on the ports of the other countries along the way.
âThat said, I also warned them not to alert him. If Jeffrey jumps into the sea or changes his mode of transport to a yacht, a kayak, or anything of the sort, it will be even more challenging for us to capture him.
âDonât worry. Even if the cops are unable to arrest him because heâs fonte Goumuy, my poopic back here.
ruiper vroup mii de ani to uray Smuggling contraband was no challenge for Harper Group. After all, that was how they had built their company in the first place.
âJonah has some connections in Tsulu. Iâll reach out to him shortly. Then, both of you can work together to capture Jeffrey.â
Alyssa was pumped. She almost wished that she could be the one who caught him with her own hands, Landon grinned and replied, âIt would be fantastic if Jonah could lend me some help!â
Jasper shot him a fierce look. He glared coldly at Landonâs cheeky face.
When did he learn how to pull such an idiotic expression? Who was he trying to flatter?
Having received such good news from Jasper and Landon, Alyssa was beaming from ear to ear.
Of course, she was a good host. Hence, she went to the bar to make them something to drink.
While Alyssa was away, Landon seized the opportunity to scoot over to Jasperâs side.
âAre you feeling cold?â Jasper asked âHmm? Iâm not,â Landon answered.
âKeep your distance, then. I donât like the scent of your cologne.â
âTsk, why are you so demanding? Who cares if you like it or not? As long as Lauren likes it, thatâs all that matters!â While Landon said that, he scrutinized every single detail on Jasperâs face.
Then, he spotted a red smudge hidden on the collar of his shirt.
Landon squinted slightly, then lowered his voice and asked, âJasper, last night, did both of you⦠do it?â
Jasperâs long lashes quivered, and his pupils wavered slightly. âHow did you know?â
As much as he was trying to refrain himself, his l*ps still curled up slightly, signaling his satisfaction, as if he just had a gratifying meal.
âShit, you pretty much have the word âpredatorâ written on your face! Do you know how greasy you looked just now? I lost my appetite just looking at you!â Landon couldnât help but tease him.
