Those few words set Jasper on guard.
Conrad must have been stuck in a situation where it was inconvenient for him to make a phone call.
Even if he was in such a perilous situation, he still took the risk to send Jasper a message.
This indicated that the contents of the message were extremely important.
Jasper knew about Empire Meet.
A luxury club that Fabian had been operating and planning since back then had become the primary
network for the rich young master of Harbor City. To join, one had to either be a wealthy man or lead a
big clan of some sort.
It was a place for everyone to gather and pass the time, a place to broaden one’s network when it was
not in use. However, when all these connections pooled together, they would form a great power.
‘How will Fabian use them, and what is he going to do to him with their collective power?’
Jasper narrowed his eyes and remained motionless while holding his phone.
He remained still until the sound of the door being opened was heard.
“I knew you hadn’t sleep.”
Wendy was holding a thermos bottle and scolding him. Jasper smiled while he eased his troubled mind
away and said, “I still have some things to do. They can rest but I can’t. I’ll have to keep up with the
latest news. Why are you up so early?”
“I can’t sleep, I was worried about you, so I got up early to make you some soup. You can’t keep on
staying up like this. Take some to replenish yourself and go rest later.”
She sat down and nagged Jasper seriously after putting down the thermos bottle in front of him.
Wendy was waiting for Jasper’s response after she finished nagging, but she turned around and
instead saw Jasper looking at her with a smile.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
Wendy was embarrassed and uncomfortable after seeing Jasper looking strangely at her. Thus, she
asked fiercely.
“It feels like you’re becoming a good wife and mother.” Jasper opened the thermos bottle and smiled.
“Hey, I already am.” Wendy snorted proudly.
Their relationship had come to a point that Wendy was no longer embarrassed to refute what Jasper
said as he attempted to ‘take advantage’ of her with his words.
Jasper grinned and lowered his head to take a sip of the soup.
‘Hmm, its red dates with ginseng stew bird’s nest.’
It tastes like saltwater.
“Why, does it taste awful?” Wendy asked nervously. Jasper took another sip, smiled, and said, “No, it’s
good.”
Wendy let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s my first time drinking a salted stew bird’s nest.”
“Huh!? I thought it was sugar!”
Forget the taste or the nutrients.
A small bowl of soup needed to slow cook for at least an hour.
What time was it?
Wendy must have woke up around three or four in the early morning to prepare this, and she had to
deliver it to the office.
Just because of that, Jasper finished the whole bottle of soup, until not a drop was left.
“Don’t drink if it tastes awful. I, I’ll make a better one next time. ” Wendy was embarrassed.
She had though of making something for Jasper to replenish himself, but she felt remorseful after
making such a careless mistake.
“It was quite refreshing.” Jasper put down the empty bottle and winked at Wendy. “Make more of your
hand made stew. I’d still drink even if it were arsenic.”
“You’re bluffing!”
Wendy replied sweetly in a spoiled manner.
Women and men were the same, and they had similar natures.
‘There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, if I treat you well, it’s because willing to give you
my all, but I hope you know that I’m sincere toward you.’
‘Every act of kindness has to be returned. If not, it’ll be unequal and won’t last long.’
At present time, Jasper never neglected the people beside him. Not to mention that this person was
Wendy.
“How’s the situation today? You look like you’re in a good mood.” Wendy asked.
She knew Jasper was stressed out these days, even if Jasper did not tell her anything. However, being
one of the closest people to Jasper, Wendy was able to find traces and clues about what led to
Jasper’s unusual behavior.
During situations like this, she was unable to help with anything. All she could do was to support Jasper
from behind.
“Not bad at all.” Jasper gave her a smile.
“Really?”
Wendy’s mood brightened up too after confirming that Jasper was genuinely smiling from his heart
rather than blindly comforting her.
Jasper hinted coyly for Wendy to come nearer to him, then he switched on the system display on the
computer.
“How… how much is this!?”
Wendy’s eyes were wide open. The shock and disbelief on her face was cute.
No matter who it was, after seeing such heart racing digits of numbers, their reactions were almost
always the same.
“Almost double.” Jasper took the opportunity to hug Wendy, putting her head on his shoulder and
enjoying the fragrance of the girl’s hair. It was truly relaxing.
“Let me put it like this, if the funds were withdrawn, not only could we pay off all of JW Company debts
and also the funds that we took out from JW Electronics, but we also won’t have any financial problems
for a long time into the future, to the extent that we’ll be worried that we have too much money.
“If we were willing to make the information public, those magazines would include us amongst the
wealthiest figures in the country.”
The magazines he meant were the Hurun rich list and Forbes billionaires. It was because of the
traditional culture of the country that many low profile businessmen refused to expose themselves. No
one would print their names on it if they refused to allow it.
For example, the Spencers, the Shanghai stock market king, and the Zhaos from the North. Any one of
them would easily break into the list of richest figures in the country.
The billionaires that were known by most people had reached a level that surpassed 99.999% of the
one billion population of the country.
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s run!”
Wendy was excited, her eyes were shining with golden rays of light that Jasper had seldom seen
before.
“There’s so much money that you don’t have to work that hard anymore. Withdraw it and focus on our
business. We can work when we want to, or we can travel the world.”
Jasper laughed and said, “You little petty thing, is that all you want?”
Wendy tilted her head, then leaned on Jasper’s chest with a blushing face. “As long as I’m with you, I
don’t care about anything else, no matter if I’m rich or poor.”
Jasper smiled warmly, he hugged Wendy tight and said, “I know, but when there’s too much money, it’s
not easy to just leave and retire. In fact, it’s impossible.”
If Jasper set aside everything to enjoy himself today, Fabian would strike back and push him into the
abyss tomorrow.
Empire Meet… it was a poison needle in Jasper’s heart.
