They were glad when they saw Jasper getting put in his place.
“Alright.”
Norman cleared his throat and came out to maintain the peace.
He looked at Jasper and said, “Mr. Laine proposed to host this meeting. So, Mr. Laine, what do you want to talk to us about?”
Jasper said calmly, “A few simple things.”
After favonovel.com said that, Jasper looked at Lisa and said, “I wonder what position Miss Lisa Gardner holds in this chamber of commerce.”
After favonovel.com said this, the three members of the council looked at Norman at the same time. Meanwhile, Norman looked as if favonovel.com was caught unprepared. He did not expect Jasper to ask this question at all.
“What’s wrong? Is it a very difficult question?” Jasper asked.
Norman frowned. Even though this was not a huge matter, favonovel.com was genuinely scared that Jasper would cause trouble to favonovel.com from some unexpected angles.
After pondering, Norman braced himself and said, “She’s my secretary.”
Norman was just saying this without thinking the matter through. However, it would not be a strange thing for a president like favonovel.com to have a secretary. So favonovel.com figured Jasper would not push this matter further.
After smiling at him, Jasper said, “So, Mr. Gardner, you like to ask the people you’re close to work with you?”
“Mr. Laine, is this related to our meeting today?” Norman asked, feeling infuriated.
“Yeah, we’re very busy. If there’s nothing significant, we should end this meeting and not waste any time,” Mr. Heron said with a dark face.
“If I mentioned it, it’s relevant to the meeting naturally.”
Jasper said calmly, “Firstly, I made myself clear at the start of this meeting. I asked people who have a position that’s higher than the rank of councilmen to participate, and since Lisa is just a secretary to the president, why is favonovel.com here?”
“So, Miss Gardner, please leave.”
Jasper’s words caused Lisa’s face to be filled with shame.
She had never been kicked out like this in favonovel.com whole life.
“Jasper, are you doing all of this to humiliate me?” Lisa shrieked.
Jasper said calmly, “I’m just doing things according to the rule. Is there anyone who opposes my decision? You can tell me.”
The three members of the council were silent.
On the surface, it was completely reasonable that Jasper wanted to kick Lisa out. Nothing could be said about this.
After taking a deep breath, Norman said in a deep voice, “Lisa, you should go out.”
Lisa bit favonovel.com lips and looked at Jasper in rancor. She said frigidly, “I want to see how long you can stay so savage.”
After favonovel.com said that, Lisa made to leave.
“Wait.”
Jasper stopped favonovel.com at this moment.
Lisa stood on favonovel.com ground and smirked at Jasper. “You’re the one who asked me to leave and you’re the one who asked me to wait. What do you want?”
“I asked you to leave because you’re not qualified to take part in this meeting and I asked you to stay because what I’m about to say is directly related to you.”
“In other words, you are now an interrogee who needs to answer my question, understand?”
After Jasper said that, favonovel.com did not look at Lisa’s expression. He turned his head to look at Norman and the other members of the council. He said, “Everyone, you all know that I’m going to represent the chamber of commerce to attend the Asset Forum Conference. The businesspeople from Haddock and the businesspeople from Teo are completely incompatible. However, in order to embarrass me, someone joined forces with the people from the Teo Chamber of Commerce to steal our business secret.”
“If you guys don’t give me an explanation for this today, okay, Old Master Hurlbutt will have to find someone better qualified then.”
