"Oh, by the way, do you remember the wife of Mr. Gary Zheng? Whitney?"

Jasper asked after a pause, suddenly remembering.

Rufus raised an eyebrow, wondering why Jasper had mentioned her out of the blue.

He also thought about how Cassandra wouldn't be able to take control of the Qin Group if Whitney didn't offer her equity shares.

"I heard she's coming back to develop her career here, and has transferred large amount of funds to her domestic capital account recently. I think she's preparing for a big move soon,"

explained Jasper, looking down at the floor, lost in thought.

"Isn't it normal for our customers to transfer funds from one account to another? What's so strange about it?"

Rufus asked, doubtfully, bringing a pen to his lips. He couldn't place exactly why Jasper was worried or would even bring it up.

"Well...the thing is, she once mentioned to her subordinates she might bring her daughter here to G City as a permanent resident,"

Jasper said, shaking his head in bewilderment, getting to the point.
