The trio talked as they walked toward the buffet.
Stared hotels’ buffets were pretty consistent and Jasper had already gotten tired of the food they
provided from business trips his past life, let alone this present one.
Jasper simply grabbed a plate of food and asked Sean as he ate, “Oh, right. How’s the injured worker
doing? Is everyone else on the construction site doing okay?”
Sean replied, “He woke up already. Fortunately, it was just a fracture of his spine. There’s still hope for
him and he should be alright after a year or so. But from how the doctor seemed, I don’t think he’d be
able to get back to construction work in the future.
“But their emotions are considerably steady, they’re really grateful to you too, Mr. Laine. They’ve been
asking to come and thank you themselves but I declined them.
“The workers on the site are doing well. We’ve calmed most of them, mainly because they know you’re
looking out for them, Mr. Laine. No one made a ruckus and they’ve all gotten back to catch up on lost
work.”
Jasper nodded and spoke, “Comprehensive compensations are a must when it comes to situations like
this. It’s too small a sum to matter to the company, but it’s enough to save these workers. They’re using
their entire life’s health in return for what’s an insignificant amount of money to us. We cannot and will
not deduct compensations, this is our bottom line.
“And ask him if he has any plans after he gets better. If he wants to continue working for us, then
assign him a more leisurely position, but let him go if he doesn’t want to stay.”
“Alright, Mr. Laine, I understand,” Sean replied.
After eating, Jasper got up and spoke, “Go get some rest later. I still need your help to keep an eye out
for the real estate company. I won’t have the time to check up on it for the coming two days.”
“Are you going back, Mr. Laine?” Sean asked.
“No, I’ll be staying in Waterhoof City for the time being. There’s no way I’d just move on after getting
plotted against,” Jasper replied calmly.
Under Norman’s efforts, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City Branch had moved to
the business center in Peace CBD after Jasper had kicked them out from their original address.
The Haddock Chamber of Commerce had always been known for its abundance of wealth. They had
leased three whole floors for their office, costing at least a million a year for rent.
This was the first time Jasper had come here to the Chamber since he had assumed the position of
Waterhoof City branch’s Vice President half a year ago.
Pushing open the door, Jasper saw the word ‘Haddock’ written in huge cursive letters, representing the
Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
“Hello, who are you looking for?” The receptionist was beautiful and dignified as she greeted Jasper
politely.
“I’m looking for President Norman, is he here?” Jasper asked with a smile.
“Mr. Gardner? He’s not in. But his daughter Miss Lisa is… Miss Gardner, someone’s looking for Mr.
Gardner.”
Jasper turned around and locked gazes with Lisa who happened to walk out.
“It’s you,” Lisa spoke expressionlessly.
“It’s me,” Jasper replied calmly, “You expected that I’d come here, didn’t you?”
Lisa sneered and replied, “Why would I be able to guess when and why you’d arrive, Mr. Vice
President?”
“That’s alright, I’ll tell you then. The asset conference is about to begin, I’m here to get my materials,”
Jasper spoke.
Lisa’s eyes shone and she replied indifferently, “Is that so? That’s all you came here for, Mr. Vice
President?”
“What else? Or did you think that I was here for revenge, Miss Gardner?” Jasper chuckled.
Lisa replied coldly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Jasper walked over to Lisa and spoke calmly, “This is business, it’s only normal you attack others. After
all, we’re enemies, not friends.
“But if you’re so willing to involve an innocent life just because of your conflict with me, do you not fear
the haunting of ghosts when you sleep, Miss Gardner?”
Lisa took a step back in terror and gasped. “The construction worker died?!”
At that, Lisa immediately realized she had misspoken. Yet it was already too late to go back in time and
change what she had already said. She immediately stared at Jasper darkly and accused him. “You set
me up, Jasper!”
“I wouldn’t be able to set anything up if you weren’t feeling guilty, to begin with.”
Jasper continued coldly, “He’s still alive but that’s because he was lucky. It doesn’t make you any less
guilty, Lisa, go back and tell your dad that it isn’t over.”
Lisa replied resentfully, “Stop acting so arrogant! I’d like to see how long more you can stay prideful!”
“Oh? So you’re telling me that you’ve still got tricks up your sleeves, hmm?” Jasper narrowed his eyes
and spoke.
Having learned her lesson of being set up, Lisa harrumphed and spoke, “You deserve any trick against
you. Just you wait, you have too many enemies and you’ll die a miserable death one day.”
Just after Lisa spoke, a young man walked out of the same room Lisa did just now.
The man rolled his shoulders lazily as he approached Lisa. He reached out to wrap an arm around her
shoulders and spoke affectionately, “Who’s this f*cker, Lisa? Looks like there’s a conflict between you
two?”
Jasper raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the accent businesspeople from Teo had.
The Teo Chamber of Commerce had already arrived at Haddock’s Chamber’s doors to attack them. So
what was Lisa, the daughter of Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City Branch’s President,
doing by mingling with someone from Teo’s Chamber of Commerce?
“This is our great Vice President, Jasper Laine. He’s the one that’s going to represent Haddock in
attending the asset forum conference.” Lisa stared at Jasper and smiled.
The young man chuckled and pointed at Jasper, speaking disdainfully, “This f*cker? Forget it, look at
him. He looks like a child, go home and call your parents out instead.”
“Or does Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce not have anyone left? Instead of having someone able like
Uncle Gardner, they had a stupid f*cker you like you come and make a fool out of yourself?”
Jasper looked at the young man and spoke, “This is Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce’s station. What
is a Teo businessperson like you doing here?”
“Dudley is my friend! I invited him over!’ Lisa claimed.
“You are the daughter of Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City Branch’s President. How
do you have no shame to shout about inviting him into the station?” Jasper spoke calmly.
“Business is business, friends are friends. What’s it to you?” Lisa sneered.
“Exactly, you dumb f*ck. You think you’re some sh*t just because you’re a Vice President here? I go
wherever I want, who’re you to control me, huh?”
