When Jasper lost hope due to his poverty, after he fought with Penelope and was left in disdain and humiliated, or forced to desperation because of his debtors in his past life, it was always Baz who helped him financially and physically.
He had previously asked Baz about he did this as well. To which Baz answered, ‘because of fate’.
Jasper could not confirm if it was truly fate, but he knew that as a person, he had to repay this kindness. Even if it was kindness from his past life.
It still had to be repaid.
“Alright Rest well and go back to the hospital after you finish both bags of saline drips. Remember to eat dinner, I can’t eat with you since I’m going to the Covington family,” Jasper looked at the time and got up to say.
Baz immediately looked up and said, “Are you really going to the Covington family house, Mr. Laine? They’ve got a bad reputation.”
“It’s not like they can hold me hostage there.”
Jasper pointed at Julian gleefully and said, “Don’t forget that even if they choose to fight, there’s no one in Tefa City who can hold Julian back.”
With Baz settled, Jasper left the hospital and immediately had Julian drive them to the Covington family residence.
Rose Garden, Tefa City’s largest community for the wealthy, also belonged to the Covington family. The Covington family had taken out a large portion from the best area of land in Rose Garden and left it for themselves.
Jasper had just arrived at the villa entrance and gotten out of the car when he saw a middle-aged man waiting with Scott at the door.
“Mr. Laine, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
With frays of white hair around his temple, Emmett looked authoritative. He wore a cashmere sweater over his shirt and looked like an experienced middle-aged businessman.
Emmett walked over with a large smile, reached out to shake Jasper’s hand, and engaged in small talk.
