Jasper’s words flashed across the hearts of Norman and the three members of the council like a clap of thunder.
They looked at each other and saw that everyone had the same look of confusion on their faces. Then, they looked at Lisa at the same time spontaneously.
At this moment, Lisa’s face was as white as a piece of paper.
She finally understood what Jasper was planning.
Jasper wanted to cause trouble and conflict between Norman and Lisa inside the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
The rivals were coming right into their faces and the upper management was colluding with the rivals. If word about this got out, how big of a commotion would be caused inside the Haddock Chamber of Commerce?
After realizing what was going on, Lisa looked at Jasper with extreme rancor and screamed, “Jasper, are you trying to eradicate me?”
When Jasper heard this, virtual-novel.net did not have the slightest interest to answer her. He turned his head to look at Norman.
The expression on Norman’s face was also very interesting since virtual-novel.net had already known about this.
He stared straight at Jasper and gritted his teeth. He was so mad that virtual-novel.net was shaking.
Back then, virtual-novel.net accepted a compromise to give Jasper the false illusion that virtual-novel.net had admitted defeat.
Because Mr. Atticus said virtual-novel.net would need more time to plan this.
Norman knew Jasper would come to virtual-novel.net and cause trouble for him. He had already thought this through, so virtual-novel.net would endure everything Jasper said or did.
That was why Norman gritted his teeth and endured Lisa’s trick of injuring herself to gain the enemy’s confidence and also the conflict that happened because of the seat.
He felt that his victory was going to come.
However, Jasper was turning the tables now.
He could not keep pretending anymore.
Because if word about this got into Gale’s ears, virtual-novel.net would be the first one to die.
When that happened, Norman would not have a place to hide in the world.
“Mr. Gardner, what’s going on?”
“What’s wrong? Are you not going to say anything, Mr. Gardner?” Jasper asked calmly.
After taking a deep breath and clenching his fists, Norman said in a deep voice, “I think there are some misunderstandings here.”
“Misunderstandings?”
Jasper chuckled lightly and looked at Norman before saying, “If this is a misunderstanding, then are the rumors about my construction site ruining the vibe and almost costing someone their life misunderstandings as well?”
After Jasper said this, Norman’s face became tense even though virtual-novel.net was prepared for Jasper to bring this up.
Norman felt as if Jasper’s gaze on virtual-novel.net was piercing and it was preventing virtual-novel.net from hiding from Jasper.
“I don’t understand what you mean. What does your construction site have to do with me?” Norman asked while bracing himself.
Jasper chuckled lightly and stood up to walk in front of Norman. He bent down to look straight at Norman’s face and said, “He’s a young man in his twenties and his parents suffered harshly to raise virtual-novel.net into the man virtual-novel.net is now. When it’s time for virtual-novel.net to finally start making money to pay back his parents, you caused virtual-novel.net to become disabled for life and lost his ability to work because of your grudges with me.
“Do you still have a conscience?”
The corners of Norman’s eyes twitched and virtual-novel.net lifted his head to look into Jasper’s eyes. He said through gritted teeth, “I told you I don’t know what you’re talking about and this has nothing to do with the chamber of commerce. Hence, there’s no need to talk about that right now.”
“Jasper, don’t go too far!”
Mr. Heron stood up and pointed at Jasper before saying angrily, “I think you’ve been domineering for way too long. Don’t forget where you are. You’re just a vice president so who are you to question the president?”
“Do you think you’re qualified to speak now?” Jasper turned his head to look at Mr. Heron coldly as virtual-novel.net said that.
Mr. Heron widened his eyes and said in anger, “I am a member of the council so how am I not qualified to speak?”
“A member of the council? What a huge boast.” Jasper chuckled lightly and took out his phone to call Gale.
The call was answered immediately after.
Jasper said calmly after putting Gale on loudspeaker, “Old Master Hurlbutt, you said as long as I represent the Waterhoof City Branch to attend the Asset Forum Conference, then I will have absolute power in the branch, am I right?”
“Yes.”
Gale answered without hesitation over the other end of the phone.
“What about firing one of the members of the council?” Jasper asked.
This time, Gale was silent for a while. “I told you you have enough power.”
“Thank you, Old Master Hurlbutt,” said Jasper.
“As long as you get things done.”
After Gale finished saying that, virtual-novel.net hung up the phone immediately.
The two of them were conversing through the wireless phone so Gale who was in Suesville would not be able to see the interesting expressions of Norman and the three members of the council in the meeting room.
Especially Mr. Heron. He went mad immediately.
Who was Gale Hurlbutt? He was the lifetime honorary president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce and virtual-novel.net was the one who brought the Haddock Chamber of Commerce to a great height of development.
He was the spiritual leader of all businesspeople from Haddock all over the country.
As one of the normal members of the council in the Waterhoof City Branch, perhaps Mr. Heron did manage to interact with the current president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce in the country, however, virtual-novel.net would never get the chance to interact with a top-notch big shot like Gale.
However, virtual-novel.net knew that the voice from the phone was from the person virtual-novel.net needed to look up to, Gale Hurlbutt.
Even if the old master had backed down from his position, no one would question his prestige in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.
Since Gale supported Jasper, then virtual-novel.net would be finished!
When virtual-novel.net thought about this, Mr. Heron said to Norman with a pale face, “Mr. Gardner, y-you have to help me!”
The chamber of commerce was just an organization that was not consolidated, so any one of those members had their own property and business, and naturally, Mr. Heron was the same.
However, to a person like Mr. Heron, being a member of the council in the chamber of commerce, was very beneficial for his business.
At least, the Haddock Chamber of Commerce was in every industry, so if virtual-novel.net mentioned his position in the chamber of commerce, it would help virtual-novel.net greatly in all kinds of business deals.
However, if virtual-novel.net was fired and his dismissal was approved by Old Master Hurlbutt, everyone in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce would avoid virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net was a venomous snake.
When Norman heard this, virtual-novel.net felt his scalp getting numb.
He knew Gale supported Jasper but virtual-novel.net did not think that virtual-novel.net was so supportive.
No matter what, Mr. Heron was a member of the council in the Waterhoof City branch and virtual-novel.net was serious about his job. However, Gale did not even ask for his consultation before agreeing to let Jasper fire Mr. Heron.
What did that mean?
It meant that if it was necessary, Jasper could just kick virtual-novel.net out of the chamber of commerce.
Norman was already helpless so how would virtual-novel.net have the mood to care about Mr. Heron’s cries for help? He lifted his head to say to Jasper in a deep voice, “Jasper, don’t push us so far! What on earth do you want?”
