"Then what are you going to do? What did your parents say? Are you going to let Finley keep pestering you like this?"
After listening to what Valerie had said, only then did Jasper spoke up.
His current relationship with Valerie made it impossible for him to make any decisions for her. But if Valerie asked, he would do as she said.
"I don't dare to tell my parents. They are still busy with their business. If they have to worry about such things..." Valerie lowered her head and was very distressed. "But even if he pesters me so much, I can't do anything about it. Do you know, he said that he wanted to..."
Valerie's eyes teared up again as she spoke.
Even if she did not finish her sentence, Jasper knew what Valerie and Finley were going to do.
"I will help you." When Jasper heard this, he was furious. He pulled Valerie into his embrace and said, "I will go and talk to him on your behalf."
"He won't listen to you..." She trailed off.
"Even so, we can try," he replied.
Jasper had always thought that Valerie was a good woman. He wanted to help her and marry her.
"Then Jasper, when you plan to talk to him, you must call me. I will wait for you outside. If there is anything, I can at least call the police for you."
Valerie looked nervously at Jasper with her teary eyes.
"Okay." Jasper looked at the woman in front of her and couldn't help but press her closer to him. He wanted to kiss her, but still he asked first, "Is that okay?"
After all, they were not lovers.
"Yeah."
Valerie nodded.
There were two reasons as to why she had agreed to meet Jasper. Apart from hoping that he would help her when it came to Finley, she also hoped for what came next.
With her consent, Jasper bent over and kissed her.
The next day, Jasper and Valerie went to find Finley together.
Valerie waited outside while Jasper made an appointment with Finley in the manager's office.
"What's wrong? President Zac?" Finley asked.
Finley had nothing to fear. He sat on the big sofa in the manager's office and paid no mind to Jasper.
"I already know about what happened between you and Valerie. The reason I offered you this job is for her sake. If you don't cherish it, get out of here."
Jasper looked at Finley and spoke out the lines that he had planned before.
However, why would Finley be afraid of this?
When he heard what Jasper had said, he immediately stood up. He walked towards Jasper in a casual manner and said, "Where did the both of you talk about it? While in bed? Oh my, Valerie must be doing pretty well, right? I knew that the moment I saw her."
Before Finley could finish his words, Jasper stood up and punched Finley in the face!
"Watch what you're saying! If you don't want to work hard, I have many ways to deal with you!” Jasper shouted.
Jasper looked at Finley, who was lying on the ground.
Finley was not easy to deal with either. Of course, he knew that he could not beat Jasper. He immediately shouted, "I have been hit. The president hit me!"
"Just shout. If you really want to, feel free to get the police involved. Our monitor records everything, including the sound," Jasper told Finley.
Jasper looked at Finley. Other than disgust, there were no other emotions in his eyes.
As he thought of how Valerie had been pestered by such a man for such a long time, Jasper's heart ached even more for her.
Finley got up unhappily when he heard Jasper's words. "I'm telling you, the Rae Family owes me. They got me to be locked up in jail for ten years, yet now they want to get rid of me so easily? No way!"
"The Rae family has not been stingy with the money that should be given to you. Now, they have also introduced your current job to you. Do you still want to play rogue?" Jasper questioned.
