Cavern City, Ritz-Carlton Hotel. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

As one of the top global five-star hotel brands, the Ritz-Carlton in Cavern City was the second branch of the flagship hotel in the country after it first opened in Andros.

Needless to say, this was the most luxurious hotel in the whole of Cavern City right now. No other hotel could top the degree of luxury it provided.

Following the address Jack gave him, Jasper went straight to the highest floor of the hotel.

The presidential suite was located on this floor.

A woman dressed in a business suit was standing by the door once he got out of the elevator.

“May I know if you’re Mr. Laine?” The woman, who resembled a secretary, asked him courteously.

Jasper nodded.

“Please follow me,” the secretary said while gesturing at him to follow her. She led the way in front of him. “Miss Maynard is in the midst of a video conference right now. There was a last-minute decision to hold the conference, so we did not have the time to notify you, Mr. Laine,” she explained while walking.

“It’s alright, I can wait for a while,” Jasper said.

The secretary brought Jasper into the suite. After arriving at a reception room, she prepared some tea and left the room.

The presidential suite of this hotel had a master bedroom and a minimum of two other guest bedrooms in addition to a lounge, meeting room, reception room, and a study. It was fully equipped with a wide range of facilities.

Even the reception room that Jasper was currently situated in was about 70 to 80 squared meters in size.

After waiting in the reception room for almost an hour, the door suddenly opened.

A pretty, tall, and slender woman that gave off an air of competency walked into the reception room.

Celine headed straight toward Jasper after entering the room. She extended her hand with an apologetic smile plastered on her face. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Laine. There was a last-minute emergency meeting, so it took quite some time. You must have waited for a long time,” she said.

“I’m the one who’s disturbing you. I should be the one apologizing instead,” Jasper said politely as he shook hands with Celine. The two of them then sat down.

Celine’s secretary came forward and placed a cup of tea in front of each of them. After that, she sat down in a corner of the room and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Celine and Jasper quietly sized each other up.

She was indeed the same Queen of Investment that he had seen on a magazine cover in his past life. However, her aura had yet to grow to the same level of sophistication as it was in his past life.

At the moment, Celine Maynard emanated a sense of competency and dominance that could not be compared to her future self. She had long been complacent and comfortable with her position in her future days. Thus, she did not shine as brilliantly as she did right now.

In other words, once a woman concealed their ambitious demeanor, it would not be discovered easily. Nevertheless, that meant that she even more dangerous.

At the same time, Celina was observing Jasper.

Like most of the people who were meeting him the first time, her first reaction to Jasper was shock at his young age.

At an age like this, Celine could hardly associate him with the powerful figure who had dominated Harbor City.

As the general manager of the Terra regional branch of Collosal Investments, Celine knew very well about the incident whereby the Harbor City stock market had gotten attacked by Western capital during the crisis of the bursting economic bubble some time ago.

She even knew that Quantum Fund was the one behind all of it.

This young man before her was the one who had presided over Harbor City’s 100-billion-dollar rescue plan.

Not everyone had the ability to do something like that.

Not only did he handle it, but he also did an amazing job at that.
