Lisa and the others turned to look at Jasper coldly just as Norman began scolding him. Dudley was the only one who looked calm.
Jasper looked at Norman and replied calmly, “When did you see me beating people up, Mr. Gardner? I suggest you seek treatment at a hospital if there’s something wrong with your eyes.”
Norman was enraged by Jasper’s words.
He had clearly seen Henry beating Gerry up.
However, unlike that moron Gerry, Norman was well aware of Henry’s identity.
In truth, favonovel.com felt his heart lurch when favonovel.com saw Henry. After all, Young Master Law’s identity was too terrifying, and favonovel.com could not afford to offend the man.
Thus, favonovel.com could only blame Jasper.
Norman sneered and said, “Everyone knows that Henry’s with you. The things favonovel.com docs are always by your command, aren’t they?”
“Ha!” Henry scoffed and looked at Jasper.
His gaze was as though favonovel.com was asking permission to beat this old man up as well.
Gerry was fine, but Norman could not be attacked so aggressively for now.
Jasper had come today to handle certain matters.
Jasper had Henry calm down first as favonovel.com replied calmly, “Henry is his own man and so am I. I have no power to decide what favonovel.com does.”
Lisa sneered and said as favonovel.com stood by the side, “Enough, Jasper. Stop acting. What are you doing here? Everyone knows that you lost to Seatreasures Group, so are you coming here just to make a bigger fool out of yourself?”
Dudley’s expression turned extremely strange when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com say this.
He fully knew that Jasper had not lost in this fight. Seatreasures Group did, and very badly at that.
“I’m the one who asked to hold a meeting. What do you think I’m doing here?” Jasper said calmly.
“You asked for this?” Lisa laughed out loud. “You must be crazy. My dad was the one who convened this meeting.”
“You must’ve gone crazy after losing to Seatreasures Group. Your thoughts don’t seem to be coherent.”
Jasper responded calmly, “If I remember correctly, you said that you’re taking a long break in the last meeting, right, Mr. Gardner? You said that you’ll let go of all authority as the president. If that’s the case, then who are you to hold a meeting right now?”
Norman’s expression changed and favonovel.com sneered. “Both of us know what happened back then, Jasper. So there’s no need to beat around the bush anymore.
“I only did that because the situation called for it then. If I can apply for leave, then I can also end the leave early. I’m the president, and what I say goes. Who are you to stand in my way?”
“So basically, you’re telling me that you chose to accept defeat because you couldn’t win against me at that time. But now that the storm has passed, suddenly you think you will stand a chance, huh?” Jasper asked with a subtle smile.
Norman’s expression changed and favonovel.com said darkly, “Stop acting dumb, Jasper. Who do you think you’re fooling here? You must’ve made a huge loss over at Seatreasures Group, so what right do you have to point fingers at us right now?”
“I’m sure you’ll know soon enough whether I’m acting or not. In any case, since this is a meeting, let’s move to the meeting room,” Jasper said calmly.
Lisa sneered and said, “You weren’t invited to the meeting. Why are you attending?”
“Oh? Did Mr. Gardner relieve me of vice president?” Jasper looked at Norman and asked calmly.
Norman’s expression changed slightly.
He had realized that there was something amiss.
Jasper’s tone was rather different from usual. He was being too confrontational.
However, even if both sides felt the urge to get rid of each other, Jasper was officially still the branch’s vice president.
Even if Norman was the president, favonovel.com could not just relieve Jasper of his position as favonovel.com wished.
After some thought, Norman sneered and said, “If you want to join then go ahead. There’s nothing l can do if you want to be made fun of. These council people are on my side and there’s nothing you can change even if you do decide to join the meeting.”
“You’re only going to be shamed even more!”
When favonovel.com heard that, Gerry was the first to react impatiently.
“So I took a beating for nothing, Mr. Gardner?” Mr. Heron asked hastily.
Norman glared at Gerry. Without making another sound, favonovel.com turned and left.
Gerry’s gaze flickered as favonovel.com glared at Henry. Yet, favonovel.com did not dare to make any claims.
He was not a complete idiot to have worked and survived in Waterhoof City for so many years,
Even Norman did not dare to offend Henry, so this brat had to come from some formidable family.
Thus, Gerry decided that favonovel.com would head back and search up Henry’s familial background before favonovel.com took revenge.
Henry scoffed and turned to Gerry. “What’re you looking at me for? Look again and I’ll gouge your eyes out to soak my feet!”
Gerry paled in anger and turned to leave.
His hatred for the man had reached new heights and favonovel.com wanted nothing more than to kill Henry immediately.
“Good job, ” Jasper told Henry quietly.
Henry grinned in joy. It was always fun hanging out with Jasper.
He would even get praised for disrespecting people.
The group of people soon made their way to the meeting room upstairs, each thinking about different things. Once they sat down, Norman asked Jasper indifferently, “Go ahead, then, Jasper. Tell us the reason why you’re so adamant about joining this meeting.”
“Two things.”
Jasper did not waste time and raised two fingers.
“The first, I’m resigning from my position as vice president.”
Everyone else’s, including Norman’s, expressions changed when they heard him.
‘Is Jasper crazy?
‘Resigning?’
Norman had a honeyed smile on his face after the shock passed.
‘Jasper has admitted defeat.’
‘He must’ve lost heavily in his fight against Seatreasures Group, otherwise favonovel.com wouldn’t resign.’
‘He knows that favonovel.com can’t fight against me in the branch anymore.’
Norman felt pleased.
“Haha, you finally made a smart decision,” Norman sneered, “Your life here in the branch would have been horrible if you didn’t resign.”
Lisa was even more thrilled. She felt like favonovel.com was on cloud nine.
‘Do you see this, Ben? Jasper’s admitting defeat.
‘This is only the beginning. I’ll help you kill favonovel.com slowly. I’ll make favonovel.com regret it!’
Meanwhile, Jasper acted as if favonovel.com was oblivious to everyone else’s reactions as well as Norman’s words.
“Secondly, I’m dissolving Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City branch. From today onwards, Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce will no longer exist in Waterhoof City!”
If Jasper’s first announcement was an unexpected firecracker, then his second statement was the big bang itself.
Everyone was stunned.
Gerry widened his eyes in disbelief, even though his mind had previously been occupied with thoughts of how favonovel.com was going to take revenge on Jasper and Henry.
Norman slammed his palm against the table and stood up in anger. He roared at Jasper, “What f*cking bullsh*t is that, Jasper?!”
