"Invite her in to have a seat." Jasper's icy expression softened slightly.
After some time and Miley's gentle persuasion, Amber entered with her head lowered.
"Thank you, Mr. Beckett," she said, offering a deep bow. Since being rescued, she hadn't found the right moment to properly express her gratitude to Jasper.
Jasper's eyes held a faint, dull gleam. 'No need to thank me. I didn't do much. Axel was the one who saved you."
"I spent a significant amount of time in Kontina when I worked for Jameson," Amber said, her expression serious. *So, I have a certain level of understanding about this country. I hope that I'll be able to be of some help," Amber offered with a serious expression on her face.
Jasper was taken aback. Only now did he recall that Amber had once worked under Jameson, making her knowledge invaluable. No one knew him better.
Standing by the table, Amber scanned the map, its surface dotted with red crosses. She gently shook her head. Searching like this isn't the right approach. We should focus on unregistered or privately owned islands in Kontina.
'These well-known islands are owned by the government. Residents cannot easily conceal their identities, making it easy for the police to conduct searches. If I were Jameson, I wouldn't hide in these places."
Jasper furrowed his brow. "So, you think he might be hiding on one of these unnamed islands?"
"Yes, but not just unnamed islands. Consider private islands as well. Jameson could have used a different identity or alias to purchase one. These islands are secluded, rarely visited, and often not subject to strict regulation by Kontinian authorities."
Jasper's eyes gleamed with admiration for Amber. He was impressed by her intelligence.
'I'll have a team compile information on those privately purchased islands and their buyers immediately!" Miley perked up, ready to spring into action.
Anxiously, Jasper asked, "How long will it take?"
"Even if the islands have been purchased and privatized, there will be official transaction records. We'll contact the Bureau of Land Management to gather the details. It shouldn't take long."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Two hours later, the Taylors returned one by one.
They all gathered in the study, pouring over the mountain of buyer and island registration information piled on the table. The task was daunting.
Axel wrapped his arm around Amber's shoulders. "Investigating each of these buyers is a massive undertaking and a waste of time. We can't afford to delay finding Lyse any longer." Cóntent belongs to NovélDráma. Org
Jasper scanned through the island registrations with his sharp observation and speed-reading skills. Although his memory wasn't as extraordinary as Alyssa's, it was still far above average.
Suddenly, something caught his eye.
Rose.
He spotted an island named Rose.
'Rose... Rose..." he muttered, fingers trembling as he clutched the document tightly.
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances.
"The private nursing home where Jameson's mother was... Was it also called Rose?" he asked.
Amber's eyes lit up. She nodded confidently and said, "That's right. Jameson loved roses. He always compared Ms. Alyssa to roses. So, his assets in Kontina, from clubs to manors, even the nursing home, were all named Rose."
If longing could be carried by the wind, his love was hidden in the name of roses.
At that moment, a powerful intuition surged through Jasper, almost overwhelming him. "Let's go to Rose Island!"
Jonah's eyes widened. "When?"
"Right now!"
