“Then I’ll go first. The wind at night is a little cold, so you should take care.”
After telling Jasper that, Adele entered the banquet hall After a while. Jasper pulled his clothes firmly around his body and walked back.
“Sly child, Dean and I will leave first. Come over to play more often next time, I, the old fart will be waiting for you.”
Jasper had a bit of a headache when he saw that Gale was slightly drunk. He had arranged for someone to keep an eye on Gale in advance, but he did not expect him to drink until this state. Dean walked over to Jasper, pursed his lips, and opened his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing.
After seeing his expression, Jasper understood at once. “Go, don’t embarrass your grandfather in the future.”
“You’re in charge of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce from now on. ”
Jasper did not have any comments regarding Dean. Since the Haddock Chamber of Commerce was in his hands, he had to accept this burden and support it. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he had to keep walking.
Looking at Dean’s figure that was getting further and further away, Jasper was filled with emotion. Sure enough, in the end, everyone would have to assume responsibility…
***
A week after the banquet, all economic operations returned to normal and the companies originally destroyed by Soros gradually came back to life. Plus, all the money brought back from the United States was used domestically.
Jasper sat in the office and looked at the candlestick chart on the big screen. The anxiety he used to feel was gradually wiped out.
Knock knock!
There was a knock at the door.
“Come in…”
The person who walked through the door was Jake, but he looked a little off-colored.
“What’s the matter?” Jasper asked.
Jake held the invitation in his hand. He looked at Jasper hesitatingly before handing it to him.
“Mr. Laine, Dean from the Haddock Chamber of Commerce asked someone to send this here.”
After hearing this sentence, Jasper seemed to have realized something. He did not want to open the white letter at all as he stared it. After struggling internally, Jasper sighed deeply.
“This day has finally come.”
He lifted the white letter and after he opened it, he only saw a few words. Yet, the contents made the atmosphere very heavy.
[Hereby informing you that Gale’s treatment was ineffective, and he passed away at 8:10 this morning]
“Gale will no longer be in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce anymore.”
