Henry wailed tragically. Upon realizing that it was impossible to scam Jasper of his money, he left with despair on his face.
Despite it no longer being as great, the Falcon 2000 was still a private plane he had been dreaming of owning. Plus, it was more than cool enough to brag about back in Harbor City.
Henry immediately confirmed the purchase after he consoled himself. He did not want to stay by Jasper’s side anymore in fear of suffering more.
Jasper found himself held back by Jack and the other senior executives after Henry left.
“You have to come join our celebratory party today no matter what, Mr. Laine,” Jack told Jasper with a smile.
“Won’t my presence restrain you from fully enjoying yourselves?” Jasper smiled.
Jack waved him off. “The older ones are resting today and they’re planning to buy souvenirs for their family. It’s just a few of us today and we’ve all been following you for quite some time. There’s nothing to be restrained about.”
“Alright then, let’s go celebrate.”
Jasper gave in at Jack’s persistence.
After all, celebrations like this were a good way for him to build better relationships with them.
He may be their superior, but it was still very important to gain his subordinates’ favor.
Nothing was going on today anyway, so he was glad to relax his taut nerves that had been getting worse recently.
In Four Seasons Hotel, while Jack dragged Jasper away for daytime drinking.
Wharton was sitting behind the desk in the study with his hands held together under his chin. He was slightly frowning as he looked up at the frantic woman who was shifting in her seat not too far away from him.
This woman was Yvonne Stone, the secretary Celine fired.
