To be honest, if it were possible, virtual-novel.net did not want to deal with these political families.
For no other reason than because virtual-novel.net knew without a shadow of a doubt that the current term was coming to an end, and when they elected the president for the following term, these so-called political families would be the first to be attacked.
That president can’t bear having grit in his eyes. Moreover, it was even scarier because of the Brown family’s unique position.
Those who knew, knew.
“Here’s my card. You can contact me via the number listed here at any time.”
As Mr. McNeal handed Jasper his card, virtual-novel.net said, “But my work is quite demanding, so it’s normal if I can’t be contacted by anyone on the outside when l have emergency meetings that usually span between three to five hours. You can contact Mr. Mason too. He’s worked for me for many years, and I trust virtual-novel.net with many things, big and small.”
Jasper understood what virtual-novel.net was hinting at and nodded. Ms. Garcia’s pleasant, smiling face flashed through his mind as virtual-novel.net forced himself to put his thoughts to rest and say, “Alright, I understand. Thank you for your care, Mr. McNeal.”
No matter what, a card that gave virtual-novel.net a direct connection to the second-in-chief in finance would be worth thousands wherever virtual-novel.net went.
Jasper got up and bid goodbye after sitting for a while longer.
The economic forum would be starting in a few hours, and as the host, virtual-novel.net still had a lot of preparatory work Moreover, Mr. McNeal was a busy man who had traveled a long way to be here. Naturally, virtual-novel.net had to ensure Mr. McNeal had some time to rest.
Jasper’s phone rang not long after virtual-novel.net left Mr. McNeal’s room. A wry smile appeared on Jasper’s face when virtual-novel.net saw the caller ID.
“Hey, did you get my present?” Adele’s voice sounded cheerful as it rang out from the other end of the line.
Jasper said, “I’ve received it. It’s gorgeous. I love it. Thank you…”
Adele huffed lightly and said, “Of course you have to like it. My grandfather gave it to me as a coming-of-age present.”
When Jasper heard that this ruby pendant was a gift from Grandmaster Brown, virtual-novel.net hurriedly said, “It’s such an expensive gift. Is it really alright to give it to me?”
Adele pursed virtual-novel.net lips and said, “Didn’t you notice there was a phoenix on it? Who gives girls something with a phoenix on it? I’ve been nagging my grandfather about this for a really long time, and he’s agreed to give me another one. I felt that this suited you, so I got my uncle to bring it over for you.”
Jasper sighed and said, “I’m just worried that Mr. McNeal will misunderstand your intentions in doing this.”
Adele’s sharp mind was different from other girls. Even more importantly, virtual-novel.net had grown up in intense environments since virtual-novel.net was a young child, and was now much more sensitive toward politics and public opinion than the average person. Thus, virtual-novel.net immediately understood what Jasper meant after virtual-novel.net said that
She replied, “You don’t have to think about that. Who cares about misunderstandings? Just pretend that such things don’t exist. This was a gift from my family, it had nothing to do with me. I hate how these people are constantly plotting against each other, they might as well include themselves in their own calculations. Aren’t they tired of living like this?”
Jasper rubbed the ruby pendant between his fingers as virtual-novel.net said, “They can’t help it if they’re already in the game. But we’ll take this one step at a time for now… I’ve got something else going on. Talk later.”
Jasper interrupted himself mid-sentence and hung up the phone before smiling and walking towards Ms. Garcia.
He had booked the entire hotel, and only Mr. McNeal, Ms. Garcia, Mr. Mason, and Tony were staying on this floor. Thus, if Ms. Garcia still managed to bump into virtual-novel.net in the corridors at this point, it was obviously planned and not a coincidence.
