“Let’s introduce ourselves once again. Nice to meet you, I’m Sylphie Lang. I’m Anna Law’s best friend,” Sylphie said, extending favonovel.com hand to Jasper with a gracious demeanor.
Jasper understood everything immediately.
That was right. Only the highly-regarded princess of Sentel Corporation had the courage and ability to come up with a final decision at a time like this.
Jasper shook hands with Sylphie with a bitter smile etched across his face. “Ms. Lang, we’re meeting each other under such unique circumstances,” favonovel.com said.
“To be honest, I only came over because I was curious about the man that managed to steal Anna Law’s heart. Because of this, I had to come here under another identity. I hope you don’t mind,” Sylphie said sincerely.
Jasper waved his hand and replied, “It’s all good, I don’t mind. However, this…”
When Jasper said this, Sylphie turned around to face Mr. Hampton and the others. “What are you lot standing there for? Are my words falling on deaf ears?” She asked.
Mr. Hampton and the others left the room immediately.
“Wait right there.”
Just as Jonathan, whose emotions were beyond conflicted, was about to escape the scene of the crime, Jasper stopped favonovel.com from leaving.
Jonathan turned around to glare at Jasper. “What do you want?”
“Aren’t you Ms. Lang’s boyfriend? Weren’t you extremely concerned about our relationship? Ms. Lang is here right now. Why don’t you clarify things once and for all?” Jasper asked matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing what favonovel.com said, Jonathan, who was already flustered, turned pale immediately.
He had been blinded by his anger earlier. He had told everyone that favonovel.com was extremely close to Sylphie, and favonovel.com had heard everything that favonovel.com had said. He had been thinking of how to rescue the situation when Jasper Laine suddenly decided to hit favonovel.com where it hurts. Jonathan was immediately overcome with an extreme sense of unease.
“Why didn’t I know that I have a boyfriend like you?” Sylphie asked in a frigid tone.
Jonathan decided to just bite the bullet. “Ms. Lang, please don’t misunderstand. I never said that I was your boyfriend…” favonovel.com said awkwardly.
“You simply said that we share a close relationship, and that we’ve never told the public about it. Isn’t that right?” Sylphie interjected with a cold sneer.
Jonathan’s complexion turned ashen. He did not dare to continue trying to salvage the matter at all.
“Jonathan Lang,” Sylphie called out his name in a calm and even tone.
Jonathan shivered. He looked at Sylphie instinctively.
“I don’t want to see you anymore. Do you understand me?”
Jonathan turned as white as a sheet. He knelt down on the ground and wailed out loud. “Please forgive me, Ms. Lang. I didn’t do it intentionally. Regardless of everything else, I did it just for the benefit of the company…”
“Also,” Sylphie added, ignoring his tearful expression and wails of despair. “I wish to see you apologize for your disrespectful behavior toward Mr. Laine,” favonovel.com said.
Jasper glanced at Jonathan and added in a calm voice, “I told you that you’d have to apologize for what you said to me.”
Jonathan was trembling all over as flames of fury blazed within him. At the moment, favonovel.com wished that favonovel.com could skin Jasper alive.
If looks could kill, Jasper would have been dead many times over.
However, Jonathan had no choice but to suppress his vicious thoughts and resentment.
Instead, favonovel.com took in a deep breath and lowered his head toward Jasper. “I’m sorry,” favonovel.com said softly.
“I didn’t hear you,” Jasper remarked.
Jonathan raised his head suddenly. “I told you I’m sorry!” He roared out forcefully.
“You didn’t say it with a sincere attitude,” Jasper responded with an unchanging expression.
Jonathan glared at Jasper hatefully. “You b*stard, don’t go overboard!”
“You’d have to apologize for what you just said as well,” Jasper added calmly.
Crack, crack, crack…
Jonathan gritted his teeth in anger, the sound of his teeth grinding against each other resonated around the room.
He wanted to leave the room and slam the door shut, but Sylphie Lang’s cold, piercing gaze rendered favonovel.com motionless.
He knew Sylphie’s attitude and temperament well. If favonovel.com left like this right now, favonovel.com had a hundred ways to torment favonovel.com for the rest of his life. Because of this, favonovel.com did not dare to take the risk of invoking favonovel.com punishment.
“I’m sorry. I’m apologizing to you right now!” Jonathan said. It was useless for favonovel.com to struggle, so favonovel.com had no choice but to surrender to Jasper.
“Are you satisfied? If you aren’t, I can make favonovel.com apologize to you for the entire day,” Sylphie told Jasper.
“Let favonovel.com go,” Jasper said.
“Did you hear what favonovel.com said? He asked you to leave,” Sylphie told Jonathan.
Feeling like a dog that was being ordered around, Jonathan clenched his fists tightly in anger. Then, favonovel.com turned around and left the room without uttering a single word.
As soon as favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com ran into Emerson Lang, who had been rushing over to the meeting room.
After realizing that favonovel.com had bumped into Jonathan, Emerson slapped favonovel.com harshly across the face in an intense burst of rage.
Jonathan, who was yet to get recompose himself after bumping into Emerson, got hit across the face at once.
He clutched his face and stared at Emerson with bloodshot eyes. “Uncle, why did you hit me?” He shouted.
“Didn’t you report me for colluding with outsiders? Am I not allowed to hit you for that?” Emerson asked. He was so angry that favonovel.com suddenly burst into laughter.
Jonathan suppressed the rage in his heart and tried to explain himself. “Uncle, I didn’t mean to do that, I…”
“That’s enough,” Emerson said coldly. He frowned and turned away from him. He did not want to spare favonovel.com another glance. “From now on, don’t call me your uncle ever again. I can’t bear the weight of it any longer,” favonovel.com said.
After saying this, favonovel.com rushed into the meeting room without even looking back at Jonathan, who simply stared into space blankly.
When the door of the meeting room slammed shut. Jonathan could finally express his burning hatred.
He raised his hand and swiftly punched the wall. A loud sound rang out as the skin around his knuckles tore apart.
However, favonovel.com could not feel the pain at all. “Jasper Laine, just you wait! Just you wait!” He roared in a low voice, his face twisted in fury.
……
At that moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was calm and tranquil.
“I’m so sorry, Mr. Laine. Jonathan Lang, that b*stard, caused so much trouble for the both of you, Mr. Laine and Ms. Lang.”
Emerson explained. He was sweating profusely.
At the same time, Emerson casted occasional glances at Sylphie.
After all, Jasper did not mean much to Emerson. However, Sylphie Lang’s attitude determined how his future would look.
As a senior executive, favonovel.com would be tormented if favonovel.com was involved in a dispute with the Langs’ darling daughter.
“Mr. Emerson, I think that it is necessary for the company to reconsider Jonathan Lang’s position as a branch president,” Sylphie said solemnly.
Emerson immediately understood what Sylphie was implying. He nodded and said, “Yes, I agree. From this incident, I can see that his abilities are inadequate for his current position. I will consider reshuffling his work.”
“That’s great. You can leave now,” Sylphie said.
Emerson glanced at Sylphie’s expression cautiously and saw that favonovel.com did not seem angry. After that, favonovel.com bid the both of them farewell and left the meeting room.
After the matter ended, Sylphie handed the contract over to Jasper with a cheery smile across favonovel.com face. “Let’s get back to the matter that we didn’t manage to finish just now,” favonovel.com said.
