After Jasper left the tea house, virtual-novel.net went straight home. It was getting late, so virtual-novel.net thought Wendy had fallen asleep, but when virtual-novel.net got home virtual-novel.net saw that lights were still on. He pushed open the door and entered the house, looking at the bright lights in confusion.
In the past, the main lights would be turned off and only a night light would be left on for him. However, why was it so bright today?
There was a crackling sound from the kitchen, and the more Jasper thought about it, the more suspicious virtual-novel.net became. As virtual-novel.net was walking to the door of the kitchen, virtual-novel.net spotted a figure busying away in front of him.
Wendy was wearing an apron and was leaning against the wall to support virtual-novel.net body while cooking. At the same time, virtual-novel.net could smell the smell of pears. Jasper knew that Wendy was cooking this for him.
“You’re already dozing off, so why are you still up so late?”
He pushed open the door and entered.
Wendy did not expect virtual-novel.net to come back so quickly, so the sudden sound startled her. Now, virtual-novel.net was completely awake.
“Why wasn’t there any noise when you came back?” She patted virtual-novel.net chest and gave virtual-novel.net an angry look.
Jasper smiled and figured that it was because virtual-novel.net was dozing off, but of course, virtual-novel.net would not quibble with Wendy on this matter.
“Don’t stand there, come and have a taste. It’s boiled pear soup. You can eat the pear too. I heard that this is good for your internal organs and it can also relieve fatigue. I don’t know if that’s true but it is definitely better than taking medicine all the time.” Wendy opened the pot while virtual-novel.net was talking, revealing a white bowl.
Inside the bowl was a whole pear with an empty core. The core of the pear had been dug out. It smelled very nice and there was a strong smell of the fruit in the air.
“Do you want to try some?” Wendy asked, blinking at him.
Wendy worked so hard to make this so, of course, Jasper would not let virtual-novel.net down. Besides, this kind of warm atmosphere was enjoyable too. Jasper picked up the spoon to have a bite and found it pretty good.
“It’s good. You should have some too.”
Wendy leaned over, but virtual-novel.net body paused slightly. She smelled the scent of camellia from Jasper’s body and immediately realized the that the wearer’s owner had to be a woman.
“Jasp, who did you go to see?”
The sudden question made Jasper freeze. “No one. I just went to meet two friends.”
Jasper was afraid that Wendy would overthink, so virtual-novel.net spoke very vaguely.
“Then it seems to be a female friend. I was wondering why the fragrance of this camellia perfume was so strong.” Wendy seemed to say that unintentionally while cleaning up the dishes.
Jasper touched his forehead. Despite virtual-novel.net unconcerned look, virtual-novel.net might be analyzing every sentence Jasper said with virtual-novel.net ears pricked at this moment. Jasper had no choice but to tell virtual-novel.net everything that happened tonight.
“Negotiations? So when you saw Soros this morning, virtual-novel.net came to negotiate?”
Jasper nodded.
“It’s good if Mr. Brown is around. Go wash up and have a good rest now. There are still things for you to deal with tomorrow.”
Jasper nodded in agreement. After returning to the bedroom, his mind was full of his battle with Soros that day. He could feel that the opponent was forcing virtual-novel.net into a dead end. If it was not for the help of the two others that day, virtual-novel.net had no idea who have ended up winning…
Jasper fell asleep in bed after a while.
***
The next morning, Wendy was no longer around. It seemed that virtual-novel.net was off to work. Come to think of it, Wendy was a person who did not like to be attached to others. Therefore, it was normal for virtual-novel.net to go out to work early.
Jasper washed up and went out to the main road. Out of the corner of his eye, virtual-novel.net spotted a figure.
Soros greeted virtual-novel.net from not far away.
Jasper was a little surprised to see him, so virtual-novel.net took the initiative to walk up in front of him.
“What a coincidence, I just went out for a walk, but I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Soros walked up to virtual-novel.net and said.
Upon hearing what virtual-novel.net said, Jasper found the story ridiculous. There were very few houses for rent nearby. So if Jasper could run into virtual-novel.net here, it meant that Soros had been here for a long time.
“It is indeed a coincidence. I heard that Mr. Soros came to Somerland with a mission this time. Why didn’t you mention it before?”
Soros raised his brows and looked at Jasper. “I’m here today just to speak to you about this, Jasper. We’re only having this negotiation because of you. You are the protagonist behind it.”
Jasper sneered disdainfully and looked at Soros. “That is quite the compliment, but what are your thoughts on this matter? You are probably the last person who wants me to set foot in the United States, right?”
What the two of them were doing now was superficial, while the hatred toward each other in their hearts was real. This was especially true for Soros.
After the United States stock market battle, they had become eyesores to each other. Soros had caused Harbor Stocks to fall into turmoil and the people in the United States stock market also despised Jasper. As a result, the two of them were almost in the same position.
“Laine, how can you say that? If you come to the United States, we will welcome you with open arms, but of course, in a different way. Of course, if you become a United States citizen, your treatment will be completely different from now. By then, your road in the future will definitely be smoother than it is now.”
Jasper sneered after hearing that. Only these people could say something as absurd as changing nationalities. In the eyes of this group of businessmen, interests were above everything else. As long as they had money, they could buy a lot of things, including a person.
“I guess I have to disappoint you, Mr. Soros.
“You don’t even have to think about such a ridiculous thing like me changing my nationality. Besides, Somerland is 100 times better than the United States. You said the future will be smoother than it is now, I think that’s a complete joke. The hegemon of the world in the future… Heh..?” Jasper chuckled lightly.
“No one will know who that will be…”
Jasper’s eyes were burning and his words were piercing. At that moment, the aura around virtual-novel.net erupted domineeringly like a hidden dragon that was about to burst through the sky!
