Zayden was flushing red while Jasper remained unfazed as he ate his dumplings, completely ignoring him.
“Jasper is my friend.”
Wendy suddenly spoke, looking at Zayden impassively before Jasper could say anything.
“I’d prefer if you were more polite to him.”
Zayden felt the flames of fury within him burning extremely hot as he watched Wendy defend Jasper.
With a scoff, Zayden spoke disrespectfully, “Everything I’m doing is to help push the Schuler Group into the market. Instead of thanking me, you’re here suspecting me?”
“The financial investment department has always been under your management and I have no doubt of your abilities. However, there are still things that must be done for the sake of formality when it comes to the board of directors. So, submit an investment report for the department tomorrow to the board for analysis.”
Dawson suddenly requested.
“Of course… But sir, is someone on the board questioning the work of the financial investment department?”
“It’s just for formalities’ sake. I’ll be there. What can possibly happen?” Dawson smiled as he reassured.
“Of course.” Zayden agreed with a polite smile. “All it takes is a word from you, sir, and I’m sure no one will dare to question further. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be taking a trip to the washroom.”
With that, Zayden got up and went to the bathroom.
The smile on Dawson’s face disappeared the moment Zayden left.
“It really is a scam!”
Dawson’s tone was laced with fury.
Wendy’s expression changed, and she immediately suggested, “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s just expose him once he gets back.”
“No!”
It was Jasper who spoke.
The father-daughter duo turned to look at him.
