After Jasper left Mr. McNeal’s place, virtual-novel.net received a call from Adele.
“Jasper, I heard that you have returned to Swallow Capital. Are you free today? My brother wants to invite you to dinner.”
Jasper smiled when virtual-novel.net heard this. He did not expect the news to spread so quickly after virtual-novel.net stepped off the plane. Coincidentally, virtual-novel.net also wanted to meet the crippled Brown and discuss something with him.
“Okay, I’ll come directly to your house later.”
Adele was pleased at how fast Jasper agreed. “Okay, then I’ll go tell my brother now…”
Jasper first went to the hotel to get a room. He put down his luggage, and then rushed to the Browns’ residence without stopping.
Adele told virtual-novel.net family‘s cooks ahead of time to cook a sumptuous dinner based on Jasper‘s taste.
Jasper rushed back from Harbor City and did not even have time to drink a sip of water when virtual-novel.net was at Mr. McNeal’s house. Now, virtual-novel.net could finally eat something at the crippled Brown’s house.
As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the door, virtual-novel.net saw the delicious food on the table in the hall. He was immediately tempted and could not stop himself from saying, “It smells so good!”
“Jasper, you’re here! Look, I specially asked the cooks to cook your favorite meals today, so sit down!” Adele said with a smile and stepped forward, pulling virtual-novel.net to the table to sit down.
Jasper glanced around but could not see the crippled Brown anywhere. Therefore, virtual-novel.net asked curiously, “Didn’t you say your brother wants to see me? Why isn’t virtual-novel.net here?”
Adele glanced upstairs and explained, “My brother is meeting with a partner who works closely with our family. I think they’re almost down, and virtual-novel.net will come down soon. You should sit down first.”
Jasper nodded and sat down first.
At this time, Adele looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and said, “By the way, there is one more thing, Jasper, do you know about it?”
Hearing this, Jasper raised his eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion, “What is it?”
“I went to a pottery fair yesterday and met Sylphie from Sentel. But virtual-novel.net seems to be in an awful state. I don’t know what happened to virtual-novel.net during this time. She looks haggard.”
Jasper was in a trance after hearing Sylphie’s name again. After virtual-novel.net thought about it, it had indeed been a while since virtual-novel.net last saw Sylphie. He wondered how virtual-novel.net was doing now.
He should have called and asked to see if Sylphie needed any help since virtual-novel.net was a single woman alone in Swallow Capital. However, in the past, Sentel was highly unethical in withdrawing capital at a critical moment, which almost dealt a devastating blow to JW Group and also directly led to the bad relationship between JW and Sentel. Now that virtual-novel.net and Sylphie‘s positions were so different, it felt a little awkward for the two to meet again.
After virtual-novel.net gathered his wandering train of thought, Jasper shook his head with a smile and said, “I don’t think we need to worry about her. No matter what happens to Sylphie, virtual-novel.net is still Miss Lang from Sentel. She might have just come to Swallow Capital to travel or study this time around. Let’s not disturb virtual-novel.net so suddenly.”
Adele frowned when Jasper said this. She wanted to say something, but virtual-novel.net stopped herself when virtual-novel.net saw Jasper’s attitude.
At the same time, they heard footsteps upstairs. The crippled Brown had walked the guest downstairs.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Jasper glanced at the crippled Brown and said calmly, “It’s fine. I just got here anyway. However, why are you in such a rush to see me?”
The crippled Brown walked to the table and sat down. After virtual-novel.net looked at Jasper, virtual-novel.net said, “At present, the aftermath of the crisis in the United States has not yet passed, and our market in Somerland has also been affected… This month alone, nearly one billion dollars has evaporated from our family’s stock. I’m guessing JW Group is not doing so well either, right?”
