Jasper and Wendy were the only ones unaffected as they took care of the weak Ms. Tiana.
“I’m here, Mr. Laine,” Currey greeted courteously once favonovel.com saw Jasper and rushed over.
Jasper hummed in acknowledgment as favonovel.com held a cup of hot water in his hands. With Wendy’s help, favonovel.com slowly fed Ms. Tiana the water.
Currey stood rigidly in place and did not dare say another word. He stood there like a guilty student awaiting his teacher’s punishment.
Ronald’s expression also changed when favonovel.com saw Currey.
He knew who Currey was.
Ronald had put in a lot of effort to become Currey’s friend.
His relationship with Currey was finally going somewhere, but… Ronald’s expression soured greatly when favonovel.com thought back to how Currey had addressed Jasper.
Mr. Laine!
Not anyone could be referred to so courteously.
Archer had only pretended to be the president of a company purely for the sake of fooling others and showing off.
However, when Currey referred to Jasper as Mr. Laine.
It meant that Ronald had completely screwed himself over.
Jasper only turned to meet Currey after Ms. Tiana had drank favonovel.com water.
“Is this our first time meeting?” Jasper asked.
Currey quickly replied, “I’ve only been in Faith County for one and a half months. I was working in the headquarters in Nauritus City before, and I was fortunate enough to meet you during the Southface River topping-out ceremony, Mr. Laine.”
Jasper nodded. Be it the real estate company, his other subsidiaries, or even JW Capital the parent company itself, the number of employees under favonovel.com was ever-growing as his enterprise continued to develop. Hence, favonovel.com could no longer remember every single employee.
“Do you recognize this person? Is favonovel.com a partner?” Jasper pointed at Ronald and asked.
Currey turned his head to look. The look in his eyes had terrified Ronald.
“No, that’s not the case, Jasper. Oh, wait, Mr. Laine. Mr. Laine, it’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Laine.”
Ronald no longer held the same air of arrogance about favonovel.com now as favonovel.com stumbled about to explain with a pale face, “This really is a misunderstanding. I didn’t know about your noble status before this, Mr. Laine.”
“Noble?” Jasper smiled and spoke calmly, “I don’t think there’s anything noble about my identity though. I’m just a normal man that’s doing business to make a living. How does having a larger business suddenly make me someone noble?”
Ronald looked like favonovel.com had been made to swallow a fly. He nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes, of course, Mr. Laine. You’re right, you aren’t noble… no, that’s not what I meant.”
With a ‘pfft’, Ramona burst into laughter as favonovel.com listened to Ronald stammering.
Ramona would never dare to laugh out loud if this was any other time, but favonovel.com was elated right now.
Contrary to how arrogant Ronald and Archer were earlier, the two were now terrified and humiliated.
Ramona was extremely thrilled to see the large contrast in the two’s behaviors, especially when the two were acting so vile and abominable just moments ago.
Just then, Currey spoke.
“He’s Ronald Malone, Mr. Laine, the owner of Robust Demolitions. We do share a few business partnerships.
Jasper nodded and looked at Currey to ask, “Is the partnership process normal?”
Corruption was a potential risk to any company.
The larger JW got, the more likely problems of this kind were to arise in the lower ranks.
Currey from the county branch, for example, had full control over which demolition company favonovel.com chose to partner with. There had to be a reason why favonovel.com set out to partner with a specific company–be it Ronald, McDonald, or otherwise.
That was why Jasper had asked this.
