As he had just gotten beat up by Henry during the day, Ben’s nose was still wrapped in gauze. His voice sounded muffled when he spoke, but his gaze carried bone-deep bitterness.
Erik smiled slightly while looking at Jasper and saying, “I’m so glad you’re here today, Mr. Laine. We can finally make negotiations. After all, negotiations are key to solving problems. If our negotiations don’t work, only then we’ll display our own ability. What do you say?”
Jasper said calmly, “Get straight to the point. Stop using two mediocre and insignificant characters to breed enmity. That’s just plain boring. Make your offer.”
Jasper’s words were tantamount to the punches Henry hurled at Ben during the day.
Ben and Lisa’s expressions changed immediately.
From Jasper’s words, anyone could tell that he did not regard them as humans at all. How could they possibly stand the humiliation when he called them mediocre and insignificant characters?
With a bang, Lisa screamed at Jasper while pointing at him, “Who do you think you are, Jasper Laine? What are you so proud of? Don’t forget that we still hold a bargaining chip that can cost you dearly. Aren’t you afraid that this negotiation will fail and all your plans will fall apart?”
Jasper looked at Lisa and smiled. “Sounds good.”
Sounds good?!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They all looked at Jasper in astonishment, not knowing how those two words came out of his mouth.
Lisa was even more astonished. Jasper should have flown into a rage after hearing what she said, no? Perhaps he would even show humility. However, what did he mean by ‘sounds good’?!
“Frankly speaking, Erik is the one who orchestrated this. You have neither the brain nor the guts. The only reason why you two are able to participate in this is that Erik doesn’t want his plan to fall through or be exposed, nor does he want to stain his hands. You guys are just his gloves.”
