chapter 10

“No way! I want to have more lovey-dovey time with my darling!” Adrian thought about it and realized that he really wanted to avoid everything that transpired in Jasper’s family.

Jasper’s lips twitched a little. ‘Curse you and your “lovey-dovey time”.’

“I know you’ve had your eye on the Bugatti in my garage. Benjamin said it should be okay for you to leave the hospital. If you came over with your injury, my mom will put all her attention on you. Are you coming?” Jasper used his trump card.

“Yes!” Adrian’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “I’m not going because of the Bugatti, but because I’m your bestie.”

James felt ill at ease. When he came out to look for Adrian, he heard Adrian betraying himself because of a Bugatti.

For the sake of his bestie, he changed his principles so fast...

“Who allowed you to smoke?” James asked coldly when Jasper left.

“I’m not the one who smoked. Jasper’s the one who smoked. It stinks, and it got on me,” Adrian lied with a serious expression. “Smell it if you don’t believe me!” After saying that, he rose to his tiptoes and drew himself close to James’ nose.

James was stunned, and his heart clenched a little.

This bastard…

At the Ardly Corporation…

Ever since Samson had his crew cut, he looked more aloof. The employees in his company were terrified. They were worried about offending him without even knowing how.

“The master’s funeral is now ready, Young Master...” The assistant had come back from Country M. Although he was punished by Samson for a time, he still felt sorry for his boss.

Samson raised his head and asked coldly. “Did you find out what I asked you to check?”

“Yes. Recently, the Trump family has been very interested in the new estate project in the suburbs. They privately contacted Mayor Watts many times and have been trying to bribe all sorts of people. In short, they’ve started getting involved in all the projects Jasper is involved in,” the assistant whispered.

“How ambitious.” Samson stood up with a cold gaze and looked outside the window. “Get in touch with the people we’re close with and send them to Jasper. Tell him I was the one who sent him this as a gift.”

The assistant looked at Samson with shock. Was it not good for the Trump family to fight against Jasper? Why did he want to help Jasper?

“Who is following up on this project in the Trump family?” Samson asked.

“It’s Rupert from the Trump family,” the assistant quickly said.

“All of us know about Jasper’s capabilities. If he wants to do anything, even if the Trump family causes a major ruckus, the result will remain the same. Since the result will be the same, we should make him owe us a favor. We’ll be killing two birds with one stone.” Samson knew that his assistant did not understand, so he explained it without turning his head. “And Rupert is trying to go against Jasper? I’m afraid he’ll not even know how he’ll end up dead.”

The assistant quickly nodded. That was the reason Samson was his boss and he remained as the assistant. His mindset was far too narrow.

At the mansion in West City, Jasper was having a phone call with the mayor in the study room. With a dark gaze, he looked at the computer.

He had money in his hands. Since the mayor wanted to attract investment, starting a comeback using real estate was his first move.

All the insiders knew what Jasper was trying to do, but there were only a few who would dare to try and stand in his way.

The Trump family... was not afraid of death, huh?

“Young Master, the Trump family has been contacting those related to the Suburb Planning Project, and they even sent people to contact the mayor.”

The assistant sounded a bit angry.

“Don’t worry, Mayor Watts contacted me just now.” Jasper sneered. The Trump family would never be able to figure out that Mayor Watts was Keane’s uncle.

Furthermore, Mayor Watts knew about Jasper’s financial strength. And the Trump family wanted to compete with him? They were really asking for it!
