“I am… Why are you here?” Jasper asked.
Scrunching favonovel.com nose, Wendy replied, “Dad rushed over right away when favonovel.com heard that Uncle Yapp was admitted into the hospital. And since the nationwide supermarket industry conference will also be held in Swallow Capital, we decided to come here earlier.”
“Where’s Uncle Schuler?” Jasper asked, taking off his jacket and hanging it on the rack.
“He went to the hospital to visit Uncle Yapp. The two old friends were talking and since I’m not interested in hearing old men reminiscing about the past, I decided to come here first,” Wendy replied with a smile.
Jasper nodded in understanding before favonovel.com suddenly realized. “How did you get in here? You don’t have a room card.”
Wendy gave Jasper a crescent-eyed smile as favonovel.com replied darkly, “Miss Law opened the door for me.”
Jasper’s footsteps halted as favonovel.com walked toward Wendy, and favonovel.com felt his heart drop. He had a bad feeling about this.
It felt like something terrifying was about to happen.
From the guest room, Anna’s voice sounded.
“Who are you talking to, Miss Schuler? Is Jasper back already?”
Anna’s voice crushed the last shred of delusional hope in Jasper’s heart.
The scene favonovel.com feared the most of two polar forces clashing against each other had finally occurred.
Jasper had begun to worry long ago what the scene of Wendy and Anna’s first meeting would look like.
He imagined it to be an exciting fight.
The biggest thing that Jasper had done since favonovel.com started his road to the top of the world might have been the plan to save Harbor City’s stock market.
Hundreds of billions in funds had been taken out to fight Wall Street’s large investors who had a terrifying sum of wealth as well.
All favonovel.com felt then was excitement but never fear.
Yet right now… the great Mr. Laine was afraid.
Truly, favonovel.com was a little terrified.
It was because neither Wendy nor Anna was an ordinary everyday girl.
They each had their own tricks and were incomparable to one another.
Jasper rubbed the bridge of his nose and turned to look at the room.
Anna was donned in favonovel.com favorite red one-piece dress, and favonovel.com held a tray of tea as favonovel.com walked over with a smile.
“Thank you for the trouble, Miss Law.” Wendy got off the open bar and approached Anna. Be it Wendy’s tone or favonovel.com choice of words, favonovel.com acted with the air of Jasper’s other half.
Anna smiled softly and replied, “Not at all. Jasper likes tea, so I tend to bring tea leaves with me wherever I go. That way, he’ll get to drink tea whenever favonovel.com gets back.”
Anna shot back sharply, refusing to back down.
Seeing how the two women smiled, the sight alone was something so breathtaking that ordinary people might live their entire lives without ever getting to enjoy such a scene.
However, Jasper could not bring himself to enjoy it.
All favonovel.com wanted to know at that moment was what Anna and Wendy had talked about and done while favonovel.com was gone.
From how the two acted, it seemed unlikely that they would start a physical fight.
Jasper felt a little better at the knowledge of that.
Anna put down the tray and elegantly poured a cup of tea with practiced ease. She passed the cup to Jasper and spoke gently, “Earl Grey, made from the most superior black tea leaves that were plucked straight from a renowned place in Harvey City. It’s said that they only produce around two kg of it every single year. Here, try it.”
Jasper took the cup, and as favonovel.com moved, favonovel.com felt Wendy’s faint gaze fall on him.
Clearing his throat, Jasper replied, “Thank you.”
Wendy let up the pressure favonovel.com placed on favonovel.com at his understandingly polite attitude while favonovel.com distanced himself from Anna.
Anna smiled and replied, “There’s no need for thanks between us.”
Jasper smiled bitterly. Anna was putting favonovel.com in more trouble here…
As expected, Wendy frowned.
No woman would stand and watch as another woman provoked her.
It was the same logic as no man would ever let another man provide for his woman before him.
