In the receptionist room, Jasper had not sat down for too long when the Covington father-son duo
arrived. This duo was made up of Gerald and Emmett.
As for Scott, he should not have too many chances to appear before Jasper if nothing went wrong.
It had only been half a month, but both Emmett and Gerald looked much older.
This father-son duo that once controlled and dominated the entire Tefa City looked more like old men in
their twilight years.
Gerald lost the condescending aura and sharpness he had when drinking tea with Jasper that day.
While Emmett’s entire back was already hunched forward.
“Mr. Laine.”
Gerald greeted him first when the two entered the room. Gone was the elder and youth of that day,
replaced now with a respectful ‘Mr. Laine.’
“Please sit.”
Jasper did not humiliate them as the victor but rather talked to them respectfully and gently.
Gerald and Emmett sat opposite Jasper.
Jasper had someone make a pot of tea. After the hot tea was brought over did Jasper tell Gerald with a
smile, “The facilities here are simpler, Mr. Covington, nor do we have tea as good as the ones you
serve. I hope you don’t mind.”
Gerald chuckled wryly and replied humbly, “It’s an honor for homeless people like us to drink tea with
you, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper leaned against the sofa and said calmly, “There’s no need to insult me like this, Mr. Covington.
Everything that happens today is the result of a prior cause.”
Gerald sighed and replied, “I didn’t mean to insult you, Mr. Laine. My words are genuine.”
“Mr. Laine, I bring my son Emmett over shamelessly today to beg for mercy and our lives.”
Emmett then continued, “Yes, Mr. Laine. There was never any deep hatred between us, to begin with,
and Scott’s already gone crazy. We’ve suffered our losses, so please let us go. I promise I’ll
immediately arrange for him to leave Tefa City and never appear again.”
Jasper sipped his tea and replied calmly, “Did Lord Alvarado give up on you?”
Both Emmett and Gerald’s expressions darkened at what they heard.
They would not have met such an end if Lord Alvarado stepped in to help them.
“We’re sorry, Mr. Laine.”
Gerald suddenly stood up and bowed to Jasper deeply. The man had tears down his face when he
looked up again.
“I’m already old and I have no regrets. But I hope that you could let my son and grandson live, Mr.
Laine. I have no qualms against losing all my fortune, I only wish that the two of them can live
peacefully for the rest of their lives.
No matter how innately crafty Gerald was, he meant everything he said now.
Jasper looked at Gerald and felt pity for the man with a head full of white hair.
“Dad!”
Emmett stood up regretfully.
Jasper remained silent.
Gerald and his son did not dare to say anything when Jasper did not, so they waited for his verdict.
After a long moment, Jasper finally said cahnly, “Today marks the end of JW’s attack on the Covington
family. I’ll allow the Covington family to keep their properties in the food and beverage and hotel
industries within Tefa City.”
“Sell everything else. You’ve worked your whole life, Mr. Covington, it’s time you took some of the
money and lived the rest of your life in retirement.”
Both Gerald and his son deflated when they heard Jasper, feeling extremely pathetic. They knew that
doing so would remove them from the list of wealthy families in Tefa City. They would be nothing more
than a slightly rich family in the future.
While they would not be living in grandeur anymore, they would definitely be able to live comfortably. At
least, their bloodline was saved.
“Thank you, Mr. Laine.’
