The little prince had just finished speaking when his phone rang.
The little prince first looked down and then looked back up at Jasper and said, ” It’s from that idiot Channing.”
Jasper did not think too much about it as h e reached his hand out and said, “Let me answer it.”
The little prince grinned and said, ” Alright, since you insist. Have a taste of how arrogant this Raydon idiot is.”
The little prince had already handed his phone over to Jasper when he finished speaking.
Jasper answered the phone and put it in speaker mode so that everyone could listen in. Then, he said, “Hello, I’m Jasper Laine.”
The person on the other end of the line was visibly shocked. Then, a young man’s voice said, “Jasper Laine? I’ve never heard that name before. Isn’t this the little prince’s phone number? Ask him to answer the phone.”
Jasper was about to speak again when he heard a conversation happening on the other end of the line. Then, the person speaking to him changed to a middle aged man’s voice.
“Good day, Mr. Laine. I’m Weston Habers from Grandland Corporation, Channing’s father. There was a misunderstanding just now because my son didn’t know who you were. Please don’t hold it against him.”
Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Mr. Habers, I was hoping you would attend the economic forum.”
“That’s exactly why I asked my son to make this phone call because I wanted to offer the little prince an explanation. It’s even better that you’ve answered the phone yourself, Mr. Laine. I’ll explain it to you myself.
“I have no intention to attend this so called economic forum. Isn’t it entirely self-voluntary? I don’t suppose you can force me to attend, right?”
When Lord Alvarado heard the fake cheerfulness in Weston’s voice, he leaned towards the little prince with a sulky expression on his face and whispered, The older one is even denser than the younger one.”
“How could the older one reared such an idiotic youngster if he wasn’t dense?” Little Prince said with a huff.
However, Jasper ignored their mutterings and replied calmly, “Of course, it’s entirely self-voluntary. No one will force you to attend if you don’t want to, Mr. Habers. However, I personally hope that you can still participate, as Wall Street is currently planning to launch a sneak attack on the domestic financial market…”
Before Jasper could finish speaking, Weston interrupted him and said, “Mr. Laine, I have no time or interest to listen t o this stuff. What does the stock market have to do with us? Grandland Corporation is not a publicly listed company. All we do is sell food. We don’t want to get involved with you guys.”
Jasper, who had not been interrupted in a long time, said calmly, “But the price of grain on the futures market is something that concerns you, right?”
Weston laughed and said, “Yes, it
concerns me a little, but aren’t the prices.
rising now? It’s good news for us
farmers.”
Jasper immediately understood when he
heard that.
Weston was an idiot. At the very most, he
was an idiot who had taken advantage of
the dividends accumulated over time and
used them to make something of himself.
There was no point in trying to talk sense
into an idiot.
“Alright, I see what you mean, Mr.
Habers. So be it.”
Jasper did not bother waiting to see if
Weston had anything to say before he
hung up the phone.
Jasper had a dark look on his face as he
stood and said, “Everyone, please wait for
