Life at the Top

Chapter 248

On the other hand, Wendy and Jasper had almost spent the entire day playing outside.

That day, Wendy had played with much excitement. She had never been that happy in her life.

They had strolled along the streets, watched movies, had snacks, and even took a trip to the amusement park. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

It was just that Wendy was not that brave. Those thrilling rides such as the drop tower, she had no guts to ride. Finally, she yanked Jasper over to ride two rounds on the carousel…

Jasper followed along with her plans. It was a rare occasion for Wendy to be this happy, and he was happy as well that he relaxed for a moment.

While they were heading back to the hotel from the snack street, Wendy was so tired that she dozed off.

Jasper took out his phone and saw that there were about ten missed calls from Xavier. He finally called back.

“Mr. Johnson, I was accompanying my girlfriend earlier. Is there anything the matter?” asked Jasper calmly.

Judging from the way Xavier was looking for Jasper in such an urgent manner, perhaps Xavier had already verified some information regarding the matter that Jasper told him about earlier in the morning.

“Mr. Laine, I’ve finally got through to you.”

Xavier could not help but let out a bitter smile when he heard Jasper’s casual ‘reason’.

However, he dared not say anything unrelated and immediately said, “Regarding the matter you told me about today, I sent someone to check on it when I got back. It’s not looking too good. Humans are truly unpredictable.”

Jasper smiled as he replied, “Since ancient times, the hardest thing to predict is a person’s thoughts. Since you’ve already gained some insights, then I believe you’ll agree with my plan, right?”

Xavier said with a deep voice, “Although I’ve found some traces, there’s no evidence yet. It’s just that I can already sense something even without the evidence. Regarding your plan, I’ll carry it out to the best of my ability.

“I’ve already contacted a few suppliers who are very powerful. No one will be able to refuse the generous terms I’m going to offer them. Tomorrow, I’ll be sure to cut off Future Industries’ entire supply chain!”

Jasper said with a smile, “Nice one. Tomorrow, the first batch of funds for the cooperation between JW Real Estate and Ambition Corporation will be credited. In regards to those suppliers, you ought to bear in mind to be careful when signing contracts with them.”

Xavier nodded and said, “Got it. You can rest assured about that, Mr. Laine… It’s just that, aren’t you afraid I won’t keep to my promise after you credit those funds to me tomorrow?”

At that moment, the car had come to a halt at the entrance of Marriott Hotel. Jasper opened the car door and helped Wendy step down from the car. While he was walking to the lobby of the hotel, he said, “You won’t have the guts, Mr. Johnson.”

Xavier kept quiet for a long time and suddenly said with laughter, “Mr. Laine, I realized being your friend is much more assuring than making an enemy out of you.”

“I’ll wait for your good news tomorrow.”

Jasper smiled and hung up the call.

As soon as he put down his phone, Jasper noticed the moment when he entered through the doors, a man got up and walked toward him with clear motives.

‘There’s danger!’

Jasper looked at the face that was very familiar in his memory, but it was a face that looked far too young. He suddenly spun around and said to Wendy, “Do me a favor and head over to the lounge area to order some supper for me, alright?”

Wendy was puzzled. Jasper did not have the habit of having supper. What was more, they had both just returned from the snack street.

However, since Jasper had already spoken, Wendy did not think any further and obediently answered him. She then spun around to head over to the lounge area beside the lobby.

Wendy and Julian passed by each other.

Julian saw Wendy’s back figure. Then, with a dark expression, he came to Jasper.

Having lived two lives after being reborn, he had made lots of enemies. Jasper could sense that the man who was approaching him posed a very dangerous threat to himself.

However in Brac County, who would arrange for someone to cause him trouble? Could it be Mark?

‘Except for him, there’s no one else!’

Before Jasper could speak, Julian beat him to it. “Someone gave me money, asking me to do him a favor. I’m sorry!”

After saying this, Julian bowed deeply to Jasper without any prior warning.

Julian only practiced boxing due to interest and it being a hobby. Boxing was his life’s passion, but he never thought that one day, he would use this ability to commit a crime.

Plus, it was against two strangers too.
