Most importantly, this meant that the Combes would be in a mutually beneficial relationship with Jasper. They would become allies.

Hendrik had advised him to do this repeatedly before he left the house earlier.

Jasper could tell this from the way they went against Sebastian, who was their relative, without the slightest hesitation, and chose to work together with Jasper.

As long as he showed them sufficient benefits and the horrors of betrayal, they would remain his most loyal subordinates.

Jasper laughed as he stood up and extended his hand toward Hector. “To be honest, I wish that you’d chosen the first option, but since you’ve made your choice, let’s work together,” he said.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hector clasped Jasper’s hand with both of his hands. “Definitely!” He exclaimed.

Chris bounced off his chair the moment he saw Jasper enter the room. He proceeded to greet him cautiously.

“You’re being way too polite, Mr. Quarles,” Jasper grinned.

Chris laughed along with him while he secretly gave Jasper a once-over.

He looked at his face and contemplated his personality.
