On the other hand, Wendy and Jasper had almost spent the entire day playing outside.
That day, Wendy had played with much excitement. She had never been that happy in her life.
They had strolled along the streets, watched movies, had snacks, and even took a trip to the amusement park.
It was just that Wendy was not that brave. Those thrilling rides such as the drop tower, she had no guts to ride. Finally, she yanked Jasper over to ride two rounds on the carousel…
Jasper followed along with her plans. It was a rare occasion for Wendy to be this happy, and he was happy as well that he relaxed for a moment.
While they were heading back to the hotel from the snack street, Wendy was so tired that she dozed off.
Jasper took out his phone and saw that there were about ten missed calls from Xavier. He finally called back.
“Mr. Johnson, I was accompanying my girlfriend earlier. Is there anything the matter?” asked Jasper calmly.
Judging from the way Xavier was looking for Jasper in such an urgent manner, perhaps Xavier had already verified some information regarding the matter that Jasper told him about earlier in the morning.
“Mr. Laine, I’ve finally got through to you.”
Xavier could not help but let out a bitter smile when he heard Jasper’s casual ‘reason’.
However, he dared not say anything unrelated and immediately said, “Regarding the matter you told me about today, I sent someone to check on it when I got back. It’s not looking too good. Humans are truly unpredictable.”
Jasper smiled as he replied, “Since ancient times, the hardest thing to predict is a person’s thoughts. Since you’ve already gained some insights, then I believe you’ll agree with my plan, right?”
Xavier said with a deep voice, “Although I’ve found some traces, there’s no evidence yet. It’s just that I can already sense something even without the evidence. Regarding your plan, I’ll carry it out to the best of my ability.
“I’ve already contacted a few suppliers who are very powerful. No one will be able to refuse the generous terms I’m going to offer them. Tomorrow, I’ll be sure to cut off Future Industries’ entire supply chain!”
Jasper said with a smile, “Nice one. Tomorrow, the first batch of funds for the cooperation between JW Real Estate and Ambition Corporation will be credited. In regards to those suppliers, you ought to bear in mind to be careful when signing contracts with them.”
Xavier nodded and said, “Got it. You can rest assured about that, Mr. Laine… It’s just that, aren’t you afraid I won’t keep to my promise after you credit those funds to me tomorrow?”
