“Should we go home or should we go to the office?” Wendy asked.
Jasper said, “Let’s go to the office. I need to tell them something.”
Julian quickly gestured to the convoy to drive to the office without waiting for official orders.
“Next time, you don’t have to be so extravagant when you’re picking me up. I don’t need a convoy… What a bad influence.”
Jasper looked at the three cars in front and the three cars at the back and said suddenly.
Wendy said helplessly, “I know you don’t like these but we have to do this today.”
“There’s a lot of rumors circulating out there that you’ve fled the country. There are even worse rumors that were said, so now that you’re back, how are we going to stop those rumors if we don’t do this so in such a high-profile way?”
Jasper lifted his eyebrows and said, “Worse than saying that I’ve fled? Are they saying that I’m dead?”
Wendy clenched favonovel.com fists and gritted favonovel.com teeth. She said, “I’ve asked someone to find out who’s the one who said this. I will make their life a living hell.”
Jasper laughed and patted Wendy’s hand. He said, “Don’t be mad. The more famous you are, the more criticism you attract. We’re famous now, so a lot of people want me dead and want JW to collapse. We can’t put a stop to those lies and slanders.”
“Plus, JW Foundation indeed doesn’t look good. Hence, it’s only expected that those people start to look down on us.”
Wendy sighed and said, “Sometimes, I can’t wrap my head around this. You’re standing in front of everyone and you’re stopping the United State capital from attacking the country’s market, but not only do they not feel grateful, but they’re also even hurting you from the back with a look of schadenfreude on their faces. I feel so bad for you sometimes.”
“That’s the way it is. There will be lackeys and short-sighted people everywhere. At the end of the day, it’s all for profit ”
The convoy drove forward, and after more than 40 minutes, they arrived at Southface River Tower. Looking at the tall building, Jasper suddenly asked Wendy, “Right, how’s the progress of the Waterhoof City Financial Tower?”
“It’s going smoothly. Based on the initial estimation, the structure will be finished in about next month. Initially, this was a piece of good news, but there is too much bad news going around, so not many people paid attention to it,” Wendy said in annoyance.
Jasper laughed and said, “When I finish this battle, we will hold an impressive completion ceremony and then a relocation ceremony. We will nominally move JW’s headquarters to the tower so the tallest building in the world will belong to Somerland’s JW.”
“That’s amazing!”
Upon seeing Jasper’s confidence, Wendy was also delighted, and favonovel.com squealed in response.
Julian parked the car and Jasper walked to the elevator with Wendy next to him. While they were waiting for the elevator door to close, Jasper said to Wendy, “Look into Julian’s fiancés carefully.”
Wendy was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean?”
With a sigh, Jasper said, “I don’t want to, but I can’t help myself. You and I are occupy such high and sensitive positions, and Julian is so special to us. Julian doesn’t know the world and doesn’t understand this, but there are inevitably people who will want to use him. If that’s the case, we have to take care of it properly.”
“Do you understand what I mean?”
Wendy nodded and said, “I will ask someone to investigate.”
The elevator went up quickly and there was a momentary silence between the two.
“Jasper…”
Wendy spoke suddenly. She leaned against Jasper and said, “Why do I feel that I am less free now that I am rich? No matter what I do or say, I always have to consider whether the person is coming to me with ulterior motives when they show up next to me suddenly. I sort of think that the precious days are better.”
Jasper smiled and said, “We can’t help this. JW is too big now, and there are too many people coveting JW’s interests, so we can only move on.”
“I know.” Wendy nodded and answered.
