“In Swallow Capital, Jasper Laine relies on the Laws’ support to show off in front of us. Let’s see how favonovel.com intends to do so in the province! Without the Laws, there is no way that that b*stard and Dawson Schuler, that old scoundrel, is able to beat us!”
A hint of coldness flashed in Ian’s gaze as the corners of his mouth lifted slightly to reveal a devious smile.
“That’s right. This time, we must let Jasper Laine know that no matter how powerful favonovel.com is, there’s always someone greater than him. Besides, favonovel.com must pay several times over for everything that he’s done to us!” Norman responded.
……
Meanwhile, Jasper met up with Dawson to tell favonovel.com about the order of events that took place today after returning from the construction site.
“This is interesting,” Dawson said with a smile. He made a cup of tea for Jasper.
“My thoughts are the same as yours regarding the construction of this bridge. At best, this was just one of their tests. They never expected for us to agree to it in the first place.
“Besides, it’s impossible for the construction to take place without our agreement. They just wanted the Nauritus City Government to form a bad impression of us.”
Jasper replied calmly, “That’s why I proposed building a pedestrian greenway. The budget of the entire project should be around 10 million dollars. We can spend this money to get on the city government’s good side. After all, Nauritus City is the provincial capital. We can’t break off our relationship with the Nauritus City Government.
“Furthermore, this will effectively enhance the attractiveness of the entire project.”
Dawson nodded and said, “That’s right. You considered everything thoroughly. However, there’s no need to pay it too much heed. After all, business is business. Anyone with a discerning eye can clearly tell that there is no reason to condemn us even if we disagree to it.”
“I’m considering their backup plan,” Jasper said while taking a sip of his tea. “They won’t let this go so easily,” favonovel.com added.
“It’s better to lay low for now.
“Although they’re taking action now, we have a larger chance of winning. They should be more anxious than we are. It would be the best if we didn’t do anything right now,” Dawson suggested.
“After the construction ends in a few months, it’ll be too late for them to do anything.”
Jasper nodded. Dawson’s thoughts coincided with his.
……
In the Province General Hospital, Wendy brought some fruits into the intensive care unit ward.
Julian, who was looking after Cathy, got up once Wendy entered the room. “Ms. Schuler, why are you here?” He asked.
Wendy chuckled. “I was busy during Cathy’s surgery, so I didn’t have time to visit then. I came over to visit favonovel.com now that favonovel.com surgery is over,” favonovel.com said.
Wendy put down the fruits and took a seat on the chair that Julian had pulled out. Cathay opened favonovel.com eyes weakly to look at her. “How are you? Are you feeling alright?” She asked Cathy.
A bone marrow transplant was a major operation. Cathay had just woken up not too long ago. She still could not speak, so favonovel.com could only nod favonovel.com head slightly or use favonovel.com gaze to express favonovel.com intentions.
“The doctor told us that the operation was a success. She can be discharged from the hospital after being hospitalized for observation for around half a month,” Julian explained to Wendy.
Julian’s eyes were red-rimmed. He bowed deeply to Wendy. “Ms. Schuler, you and Jasper are our saviors. Nothing we do will ever be enough to repay your kindness,” favonovel.com said.
“Don’t say something like that. Jasp and I both truly admire your capabilities, Julian. I still need you to take good care of Jasp on my behalf,” Wendy said, implying that there was no need for Julian to act so courteously.
“Furthermore, Cathy has been helping out in the company all this while. I’m well aware of favonovel.com capabilities. Her work efficiency was simply affected due to favonovel.com health problems. After Cathy gets discharged, favonovel.com can officially join the company. I’ve already prepared a position for her,” Wendy said.
Julian nodded gratefully. Although favonovel.com was full of gratitude, favonovel.com did not know how to express it due to his introverted nature. He then caught sight of the apple beside him. “Ms. Schuler, wait for a minute. I’ll wash an apple for you,” favonovel.com said immediately.
Just as Wendy was about to say that it was not necessary, Julian picked up the apple and ran out of the ward.
Wendy smiled and shook favonovel.com head. She knew that this was Julian’s way of expressing his gratitude. If favonovel.com rejected him, favonovel.com may feel hurt.
Soon after, Julian returned empty-handed. His expression was slightly solemn.
“Ms. Schuler, did you offend anyone lately?”
