All they could do was watch as Jasper and Mr. Wilcher grew even closer.
Many people believed that with Prince’s temper, there was no way he would accept being discarded like this.
Surprisingly, Prince did not cause trouble throughout the rest of the conference. It was almost as if he had accepted the role as a bystander.
It was only his sinister gaze sweeping over Jasper from time to time that gave him away. After all, nobody would believe that this quiet man sitting at the conference desk could look as arrogant as he did at the beginning of the conference.
An hour later, the meeting ended.
Outside the conference room, Mr. Wilcher shook Jasper’s hand and said, “Thank you for so many of your suggestions, Mr. Laine. I’ll compile and hand this up as soon as possible. I’m sure that the official document will be issued in no time.”
Jasper smiled and replied, “I’m just doing my part.”
After their chat, Prince also walked out of the conference hall bossily.
He made a beeline for Jasper and snickered.
“I really want to rip your face off so I can send it to you and let you admire it, Jasper. Because it won’t be long before you’ll never get to smile again!”
Prince’s eyes shone with a venomous glint.
“I used to think that you were a prideful ant, but I realized that I was wrong. Rather than prideful, you’re just a scheming ant who has a bit of luck.”
“Not that it matters, since you’ re just an ant at the end of the day. It’d take no effort for me to crush you.”
Prince sneered and lowered his voice to continue, “You’ve never faced Clear Seas Industrial, so you’ll never know how powerful I am. I am the crown prince of Clear Seas Industrial! Just you wait, Jasper. I’ll make sure to kill you!”
