“Let’s introduce ourselves once again. Nice to meet you, I’m Sylphie Lang. I’m Anna Law’s best friend,” Sylphie said, extending her hand to Jasper with a gracious demeanor.
Jasper understood everything immediately.
That was right. Only the highly-regarded princess of Sentel Corporation had the courage and ability to come up with a final decision at a time like this.
Jasper shook hands with Sylphie with a bitter smile etched across his face. “Ms. Lang, we’re meeting each other under such unique circumstances,” he said.
“To be honest, I only came over because I was curious about the man that managed to steal Anna Law’s heart. Because of this, I had to come here under another identity. I hope you don’t mind,” Sylphie said sincerely.
Jasper waved his hand and replied, “It’s all good, I don’t mind. However, this…”
When Jasper said this, Sylphie turned around to face Mr. Hampton and the others. “What are you lot standing there for? Are my words falling on deaf ears?” She asked.
Mr. Hampton and the others left the room immediately.
“Wait right there.”
Just as Jonathan, whose emotions were beyond conflicted, was about to escape the scene of the crime, Jasper stopped him from leaving.
Jonathan turned around to glare at Jasper. “What do you want?”
“Aren’t you Ms. Lang’s boyfriend? Weren’t you extremely concerned about our relationship? Ms. Lang is here right now. Why don’t you clarify things once and for all?” Jasper asked matter-of-factly.
Upon hearing what he said, Jonathan, who was already flustered, turned pale immediately.
He had been blinded by his anger earlier. He had told everyone that he was extremely close to Sylphie, and she had heard everything that he had said. He had been thinking of how to rescue the situation when Jasper Laine suddenly decided to hit him where it hurts. Jonathan was immediately overcome with an extreme sense of unease.
“Why didn’t I know that I have a boyfriend like you?” Sylphie asked in a frigid tone.
Jonathan decided to just bite the bullet. “Ms. Lang, please don’t misunderstand. I never said that I was your boyfriend…” he said awkwardly.
“You simply said that we share a close relationship, and that we’ve never told the public about it. Isn’t that right?” Sylphie interjected with a cold sneer.
Jonathan’s complexion turned ashen. He did not dare to continue trying to salvage the matter at all.
“Jonathan Lang,” Sylphie called out his name in a calm and even tone.
Jonathan shivered. He looked at Sylphie instinctively.
“I don’t want to see you anymore. Do you understand me?”
Jonathan turned as white as a sheet. He knelt down on the ground and wailed out loud. “Please forgive me, Ms. Lang. I didn’t do it intentionally. Regardless of everything else, I did it just for the benefit of the company…”
“Also,” Sylphie added, ignoring his tearful expression and wails of despair. “I wish to see you apologize for your disrespectful behavior toward Mr. Laine,” she said.
Jasper glanced at Jonathan and added in a calm voice, “I told you that you’d have to apologize for what you said to me.”
Jonathan was trembling all over as flames of fury blazed within him. At the moment, he wished that he could skin Jasper alive.
If looks could kill, Jasper would have been dead many times over.
However, Jonathan had no choice but to suppress his vicious thoughts and resentment.
Instead, he took in a deep breath and lowered his head toward Jasper. “I’m sorry,” he said softly.
“I didn’t hear you,” Jasper remarked.
Jonathan raised his head suddenly. “I told you I’m sorry!” He roared out forcefully.
“You didn’t say it with a sincere attitude,” Jasper responded with an unchanging expression.
Jonathan glared at Jasper hatefully. “You b*stard, don’t go overboard!”
