“I think you must have misunderstood.”
A slight frown formed on Jasper’s face as he explained patiently, “There isn’t any special relationship between Ms. Sylphie and me. I only came to the company for business.”
Jonathan sneered as he continued to glare at Jasper. “I don’t care why you’re here at the company, but let me warn you. Ms. Sylphie is the princess of Sentel Corporation. She would never have a relationship with a foreigner no matter what,” he growled.
“You’d better give up on your devious intentions.”
Jonathan then lowered his voice and inched closer to Jasper’s ear. “You do know that you’re just an outsider here, right? If you aren’t honest, you may disappear from the face of the earth without anyone realizing. Nobody will bother to find out what happened to you,” he said coldly.
Jasper stared at Jonathan calmly. “From the tone of your voice, I can tell that you aren’t joking, Mr. Jonathan,” he replied.
Jonathan snickered. “As long as you are aware. Don’t forget where we are right now. This isn’t Somerland. Don’t entertain any thoughts that you shouldn’t have. Otherwise, you’ll meet a terrible end. Do you understand?” He growled.
Jasper did not mind Jonathan’s threats; He did not refute him either.
At least Jonathan had said something right. This was Coreana, not Somerland. Jasper did not want to make any enemies here.
Furthermore, it would not be worth doing so over a woman he had never even met.
In Jasper’s opinion, he may never cross paths with someone like Jonathan Lang ever again, so why should he hold a grudge against someone like that?
Jonathan scoffed loudly after seeing Jasper enter the elevator. Upon turning around, he caught sight of Emerson’s secretary.
Jonathan instantly figured out Jasper’s intentions after hearing Emerson’s secretary speak to him.
