---- Chapter 140: A Breakthrough "Good news, Sir!" Matt practically bounced with excitement. "We found another missing worker. He's unconscious, but his vital signs are stable. He's on his way to the hospital, and thankfully, no major injuries." Aaron exhaled a long, heavy breath and finally allowed himself a smile-the first real one in days. "That's great. What about Jasper? Is he still at the site?" "Yes, sir. Jasper never left," Matt replied. Aaron's eyes darkened with determination. "Immediately release the promised rewards. Keep Jasper on the scene.
Make sure Tristan is found, no excuses." Once Matt left, Aaron turned back to the construction team's files. The project had clearly been awarded to Gofar Construction, yet a name in the "person in ---- charge" section leapt out at him-Liam Wilson. That was his stepmother Deborah's younger brother. Aaron's mind immediately sharpened. He remembered bailing Liam out of countless messes back when he first started at the law firm. He had probably spent more nights at the police station because of Liam than he cared to remember.
He had warned Tristan time and time again not to get involved with anyone from the Wilson family. So how had this slipped under the radar? Scanning the files again, Aaron noticed that Jasper had been the one to approve the documents. With a decisive motion, he grabbed the papers and headed straight to the resort construction site. By the time he arrived, it was past ten at night. Seeing him, Jasper hurried forward. "Sir, you should go rest. I've got this under control. The day shift has already gone home." ---- Aaron handed him the files. "Take a look at this.

You were responsible for reviewing Gofar Construction's credentials. Are you telling me there's nothing wrong with the company?" Jasper froze for a second, heart hammering. "The credentials are fine, sir. 1 even showed Tristan for review." Aaron's voice dropped cold and hard. "And you think the responsibility lies with Tristan? You're a department head, and you don't think your opinion mattered? Then what use are you?" Jasper didn't dare raise his head. Aaron's gaze seemed to pierce straight through him, and even gripping the files, Jasper's fingers trembled. Aaron leaned in.
"What is your relationship with Liam Wilson?" "Distant relatives. Not close," Jasper hurried to explain. "Sir, it was your father who contacted me. Gofar Construction's credentials are fine, and we've worked with them before. They just recently changed the legal representative." ---- Aaron's jaw tightened. "And the new legal representative is Liam?" "Yes, sir. Your father said it's all family and should keep the profits in the family. He also said you were aware of this." Aaron's voice dropped even colder. "Then why didn't you tell Tristan? You knew he wouldn't approve, didn't you? Answer me.
How much did you get out of this?" "L.." Jasper tried to protest, but the words stuck in his throat. Aaron's eyes flared with barely contained fury, yet he didn't explode. Instead, he spoke with razor-sharp precision. "Jasper, do you still believe Liam will take responsibility for this accident? Or that my father has the backbone to stand up? I'll tell you- you are already a discarded pawn." Jasper felt a cold shiver run down his spine, sweat breaking out along his back. Aaron towered over him. "If you don't want to
