Jasper looked at Victor and said with a smile, "Victor, I want to chat with Eden alone. Make yourself scarce. It won't take too long."
Hearing this, Victor was naturally unhappy. Eden was his wife. Why should he leave?
However, Jasper had not seen Eden for a long time, and Eden didn't meet him because of Maureen. Since they had met, of course they would talk to each other.
He glanced at Eden and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist, "Eden, I will come to pick you up half an hour later."
"Okay!" Eden nodded with a smile and walked towards Jasper.
Jasper's eyes were gentle as he watched her walk towards him.
He took a glass of juice from the waiter. He had been depressed these days, and he really wanted to drink, but he was afraid that she might worry about him. He hadn't recovered and came to the party weakly.
He just wanted to see her. If he met her at the party, he could pretend that he met her coincidentally.
Eden found that he was much thinner than before and looked him up and down, "Jasper, don't you eat your meals on time recently? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Jasper lowered his head and glanced at himself. Indeed, he did not eat much these days. He looked at her and said with a smile, "I think I look quite good now. I was too strong before. After losing weight, I look much younger, don't I? Don't you think so?" Saying this, Jasper even raised his handsome face proudly so that she could see him more clearly.
"Ha-ha... That's right. Look at you. You look like an eighteen-year-old boy now." Eden looked at him with a smile. She could finally rest assured when she saw him standing in front of her and smiling at her.
"Jasper, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, we can eat together. I haven't had anything."
Jasper took her aside, "Not yet. Let's eat together."
Victor felt a bit uncomfortable in heart as he watched them leave while talking and laughing.
He turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a beautiful woman stand in front of him and look at him with a charming smile.
Victor's eyes suddenly turned cold. When he was about to walk past Dorothy, she said gently, "Mr. Alwynn, could we speak privately? My father is the president of Monroe Group, and my name is Dorothy. I always want to talk to you about our cooperation. You will definitely be interested in our conditions."
"I'm not interested." Victor said indifferently and wanted to leave.
Dorothy looked at Victor in a daze. Just now, she had tried her best to smile attractively, but Victor was unmoved.
She smiled and moved a step, blocking Victor's way.
Victor caught a whiff of strong perfume and immediately took a few steps back. A trace of disgust flashed through his eyes. He always hated such smell of perfume.
Seeing how disgusted he was, Dorothy frowned slightly. But she remained an elegant smile for the sake of her company, "Mr. Alwynn, you refused without even listening to me. Please give me a few minutes. I'll finish my words quickly."
Victor glanced at her, "Monroe Group runs real estate. The price of your shares dropped by this morning. If the shares continue to depreciate on the stock markets, Monroe Group will go bankrupt. What benefits will I get by cooperating with you?" Victor's tone was quite sarcastic. He did not have the interest to clean up the mess for others.
Dorothy was rendered speechless. At this moment, all her confidence had been ruined by Victor's heartless and cold words.
