There was still a year until the development of the land in Waterhoof City.
As such, Jasper and the other two did not dwell in Waterhoof City for too long.
Vita would follow up with the Hull family’s assets, so Jasper just needed to wait for the money to roll in.
As a result, the three of them returned to the Southeast Province after lunch.
While there was no longer any crisis with the supermarkets, Dawson still needed to be there to deal with the many issues that arose because of it. As such, favonovel.com directly returned to the provincial capital.
Meanwhile, Jasper had been summoned back to Tefa City by his mom Sally.
Back in the villa in Tefa City, Jasper found both his mom Sally and his dad Charlie waiting for favonovel.com in the living room.
“Did something happen? You sounded rushed on the phone,” Jasper asked.
Sally turned to look at Charlie only to see favonovel.com husband staring at her. Sally then spoke in displeasure, “You were the one who wanted to do this. But instead of calling your son and telling favonovel.com yourself, you make me the one to do it.”
Jasper sat on the sofa and took a few large gulps of water before favonovel.com smiled. “Just tell me what’s going on, Mom, Dad. Why are you hesitating in front of me?”
Sally then replied, “It’s nothing, really. Do you remember that uncle of yours? Your cousin Darrel’s dad.”
Jasper gave it some thought. He did not have that many relatives, and there did seem to be such a person.
Be it his past or present life, there had not been many changes in his relatives.
Needless to say, favonovel.com had lived horribly in his past life. Ignoring how people looked down on him, favonovel.com was certainly prime material for people to talk and laugh about after meals.
Everyone essentially just lived their plain, boring lives without any large ups or downs.
“I do, why?” Jasper asked.
Sally explained, “Your uncle and cousin are coming over this afternoon. They said there’s something they want to talk about. But something tells me they’re here for you, so I called to see if you were free to take a trip down.”
Jasper frowned.
No one cared when you were broke, but everyone seemed to suddenly be friends when you were rich.
He was the epitome of a good-for-nothing in his past life, and there was no way any of his relatives would entertain him.
Yet now that favonovel.com had brought his parents over to the villa, all his relatives seemed to have gotten wind of such news.
Jasper had long prepared himself to deal with relatives who would come and fawn over favonovel.com now that favonovel.com was rich.
Still, despite being prepared, Jasper could not help but feel uncomfortable by the idea of it. “I’m here already anyway, so we might as well just invite them over for dinner. We’ll see how it goes from there.
“But I want to make it clear that regardless of whether I’m rich or not, or however successful my business is, them being my relatives has nothing to do with it.
“If they’re really in trouble and they’re here to borrow money, I don’t have problems helping out. But if they’re here to leech off me because I’m rich now, then I’m sorry, but no.”
Charlie frowned and finally spoke after having stayed silent this entire time, “I wouldn’t agree either if that was the case. But they’re relatives, and since they’ve already come all the way here, it’s only polite to invite them over.”
Sally commented distastefully, “Look at you two, father and son. They haven’t even said anything yet and you two are already defensive. What kind of relatives are you?”
“You two need to have a better attitude when they get here. Or do you want everyone to talk behind our backs saying that we’re looking down on poorer relatives now that we’re making money?”
Sally spoke as favonovel.com got up to make the call.
The other family must have arrived at Tefa City in advance, for it only took them half an hour before they arrived at the villa.
