Mary almost laughed out loud at Jasper’s words.
“Who do you think you are? You think that just because Mr. Daniels was polite to you that it means you can take advantage of him? ‘Bring this woman away’? You really don’t know when to stop, do you…”
“I don’t know this woman!”
Baxter’s voice rang out, cutting Mary off.
Mary was stunned.
For some unknown reason, she could not help but feel that Baxter was terrified of Jasper.
‘That would be utterly impossible.
‘Baxter owns of Harbor City’s best transportation companies, Open Sea Shipping Transportations!
‘But who is Jasper?’
Mary did not know the answer to that, but she was certain that Greg did not have any outstanding friends.
“I’ll be leaving now, right now.”
Baxter did not care too much, for all he wanted to do now was escape. He felt that the longer he looked at Jasper, the more danger he was in.
He knew that his life would be over if the news surrounding his solicitation with the Wellington family was brought into the public limelight.
Terrified, Baxter turned and ran.
Mary shouted and frantically followed after him, paying Greg and Jasper no attention.
The more she chased him, the faster Baxter ran in fear of Jasper realizing something.
Jasper’s gaze in the direction of their retreating figures turned icy until the duo was nowhere to be seen.
