An alluring lady strutted over to Jasper’s side and bent forward to pour him wine.
With both glasses poured, Lord Alvarado looked at Jasper in interest as if he was admiring a new toy.
“How sure are you?” Lord Alvarado narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Ninety percent,” Jasper replied.
Delicately defined brows arched and Lord Alvarado smiled. “This isn’t a funny joke.”
“I don’t have the habit of throwing my entire fortune and life out like a joke,” Jasper said.
As if satisfied with this response, Lord Alvarado said with a crescent eyed smile, “Good. This is an offering that suits my reputation. If this succeeds, then you and I can be friends.”
Jasper gave a small smile. “It’s an honor.”
“Interesting.” Lord Alvarado was in a great mood.
He knew that Jasper did not dare to lie to him. Otherwise, instead of being treated to a good round of hotpot, Jasper would be facing the possibility of being cooked in the hotpot
The Northwest Alvarado family had the power to make that happen.
Jasper was a smart man and he knew what choices to make.
So Lord Alvarado did not ask Jasper where his confidence and guarantee came from.
All he wanted was to see was results when the time came.
If it meant Jasper had to manifest it with magic then so be it.
“I’m in a good mood, so here’s a gift from me.”
Lord Alvarado waved his hand. “Bring him in…”
One of the suited men in the corner of the room left courteously.
A moment later, the private room doors were opened and a terrified Scott walked in.
Once he saw Jasper, Scott’s gaze immediately exploded with resentment.
“Jasper, you’re f*cking dead this time!”
