Channing had an indignant expression on his face as favonovel.com said, “But will we make it if we leave now? Will Jasper Laine pay any attention to us?”
Weston gritted his teeth and said, “We have to go even if we won’t make it in time and agree to whatever conditions Jasper offers. This matter takes the Habers family’s survival into account. We absolutely cannot be sloppy!”
Weston had never felt this much regret in his life. He should not have been so greedy to reap temporary benefits that favonovel.com treated Jasper with such arrogance. Now, favonovel.com could not care less about the vengeance Jasper felt. All favonovel.com worried about now was how low favonovel.com would have to stoop before earning Jasper’s forgiveness. Mr. Haddow had been clear just now. If Jasper was not in agreement, it would be hopeless for the Habers family.
Weston felt even more regret when favonovel.com thought of that. “I shouldn’t have done that!”
Weston sighed bitterly and dragged Charming along with him.
Charming hurriedly said, “Dad, why don’t I contact the little prince now and see what favonovel.com says? Perhaps favonovel.com can help put in a good word for us.”
Stunned, Weston said, “Alright, we’ll head over to the airport now. You start contacting favonovel.com now.”
Channing nodded. Feelings of hope surged in favonovel.com as favonovel.com dialled little prince’s number.

Just then, at Waterhoof City. The little prince was just about to get up and leave for the venue at Pearl Tower with Jasper and the others.
He grinned when favonovel.com saw the caller ID. “It’s Channing.”
“You can answer it,” Jasper said.
The little prince immediately answered the phone and put it in speaker mode.
Channing’s voice immediately rang out. “May I know if this is the little prince?”
That voice was completely different from the arrogant one previously heard, as flattery oozed from every word.
“Yes,” the little prince said calmly.
It was necessary to adjust your tone accordingly during such times, and that had always been the way little prince treated others. Heirs like them never had a good temper.
Not to mention that the little prince was annoyed at Charming for embarrassing him.
Charming was also a rich heir, so there was no way favonovel.com did not hear the anger in little prince’s voice. He forced himself to suppress his temper and squeezed a smile onto his face as favonovel.com said, “Little Prince, I was wondering if you could help put in a good word for me to Mr. Laine? Just let favonovel.com know that we’ve understood that we’re at fault now and that we’re on our way to Waterho of City. We know that we must apologize to Mr. Laine in person, and we’re willing to carry out any orders favonovel.com gives us.
“Little Prince, please, you must help me. I’ll be indebted to you forever.”
When Charming finished speaking, everyone, including the little prince, gazed at Jasper like favonovel.com was a god. Never would they have imagined that the Habers family would come to them with their tails between their legs shortly after Jasper said favonovel.com was going to teach them a lesson.
How on earth had favonovel.com done that?
Not even the little prince and Lord Alvarado, who were also experts at playing tricks and manipulating others, could make sense of it. However, that did not stop the little prince’s mood from improving massively.
“You fool, you’re begging for forgiveness now? What were you doing before that?”
“You refused to attend when I invited you, but you’re snivelling and squeezing your way in now? What sort of place do you think this is? And you’re asking me to put in a good word for you? F*ck off!”
The little prince hung up the phone after favonovel.com finished. “Hahaha, that was f*cking amazing!”
The little prince grinned at Jasper and said, “I’ve got to tip my hat to you for this one. That idiot Channing has always thrown his weight around because favonovel.com knew his family was so isolated in Raydon that no one could do anything to him. He’s always been arrogant, but he’s a sniveling b*tch now. It’s f*cking amazing!”
Lord Alvarado gazed at Jasper curiously and asked, “How did you do it?”
“It had nothing to do with me.”
Jasper chuckled and said, “He lives in a secluded area, but it’s not that difficult to reach favonovel.com anymore. Did they think they’d still be invincible if they actually angered an official?”
Both Simson and Moses felt the back of their necks go cold when they heard that.
Jasper had never thought that Habers family was a force to be reckoned with.
If Jasper hadn’t worried that these bad apples would spoil the entire bunch by creating a bad atmosphere that incited panic within everyone else, favonovel.com would not even have bothered dealing with them.
Since the Habers family were coming to beg for forgiveness now, Jasper would set that issue aside.
The time of the event was nearing as the group rode to Pearl Tower.
This Waterhoof City landmark was much quieter than usual now. The usual tourists from all parts of the world had been replaced with security guards wearing matching uniforms.
Several reporters had not entered the venue yet, as they were hoping for a chance to meet the bigwigs on their way in. Jasper and company were, without a doubt, the largest bigwigs of the day. The reporters dashed forward when they caught sight of Jasper.
The security guards immediately formed a circle around Jasper and the others. They were about to shoo the reporters away when Jasper halted his steps.
Reporters were otherwise known as uncrowned kings. They had a love-hate relationship with superstars, but they never dared offend them. However, this also depended on the kind of person it was.
Few reporters dared act recklessly when Jasper was concerned. It was because Jasper did not rely on their reporting for his income, and favonovel.com was already well-respected enough within the community. Thus, these reporters felt an innate fear whenever they met Jasper.
However, Jasper’s behavior today was amicable.
“Thank you for waiting here, guys, but I really have a lot to do. Let’s make a deal. We’ll do three questions. That way, you can return with something to show while I can head on upstairs and finalize my matters.”
A warm feeling washed over the reporters when they heard what Jasper said.
No wonder he’s the country’s model entrepreneur. His poise and manners were vastly different from those who became rich overnight.
“Mr. Laine, what’s the topic of discussion of this economic forum? Does it have anything to do with the massive change in the domestic financial market recently?” A reporter acted quickly and became the first to ask a question.
“Strictly speaking, these are two questions. But I’ll answer both at the sarrre time.”
Jasper quickly drafted an answer before saying, “The reason behind me hosting this economic forum is so that I can provide a platform for everyone to have an accurate View of our country’s current economic development. This is so that we can gather all our industries and muster our greatest strengths to help the business environment in our country become more organized and formal.”
“As for the recent changes in the domestic financial market, it has indeed been included as a topic for our discussion. As I said, we need a formal business environment, not some arrrbitious capitalists who will step on everything that needs to be discussed.”
Jasper’s statement sounded very formal, but there was no doubt his ferocious spirit was packaged within it.
