According to Jasper’s experience in his past life, virtual-novel.net knew that soon, conflicts would frequently break out in Harbor City under the instigation of the United Kingdom, and this would cause a lot of headaches for Swallow Capital.
One of the most critical factors that led to this situation was that Swallow Capital did not strengthen its rule over Harbor City from the very beginning. And this time, Jasper hoped to fundamentally prevent such a thing from happening. If virtual-novel.net got Harbor City to side with the mainland, then nothing would happen, no matter how the United Kingdom or the United States tried to incite them in the future.
As the afternoon tea ended, Jasper asked again, “By the way, Miss Maynard, where are you staying? Why don’t I send you back?”
Celine naturally would not reject Jasper’s kindness. “I’m staying at the Hilton now.”
When Jasper heard this, virtual-novel.net said, “Oh, really? That’s such a coincidence. Wendy and I also live there now.”
As soon as virtual-novel.net heard that Wendy and Jasper were staying together, Celine felt an inexplicable sense of loss in virtual-novel.net heart, and virtual-novel.net tone also became much calmer.
“That’s such a coincidence! Well, I’m a little tired after a day of shopping. You can send me back now,” Celine said and called the waiter for the bill.
The two then left the restaurant and drove back to the Hilton Hotel.
Unfortunately, when Jasper parked his car at the hotel entrance and was about to walk in with Celine, virtual-novel.net ran into Wendy, who came back to pick up something last minute and was about to go out.
“Wendy, aren’t you with Anna? Why did you come back alone?” Jasper asked with a smile.
Wendy had something to tell Jasper, but when virtual-novel.net saw Celine standing beside Jasper, virtual-novel.net face fell, and virtual-novel.net said coldly, “I’m a grown woman, and I have legs. I can go wherever I want to go. Are there any rules saying that I can only stay with Anna?”
Jealousy and hostility were laced in virtual-novel.net words. Jasper was not bothered by this. He said with a grin, “Right, you’re right…”
At this moment, Celine went over magnanimously and greeted Wendy, “Long time no see, Ms. Schuler!”
Wendy glanced at Celine, and virtual-novel.net felt even angrier.
Did virtual-novel.net want to be like those rich men in Harbor City with three, four, five, or even six wives?
When Wendy thought about this, virtual-novel.net was furious. However, virtual-novel.net maintained a smile that was fitting to the occasion.
“Yeah, Jasper is developing the information industry in Harbor City. As his fiancée, of course, I have to be the first to help him. So, I’ll be in Harbor City for the time being. If you’re free, why don’t we have afternoon tea sometime, Miss Maynard?”
“Alright, it’s a date then. I’m also staying in the Hilton, and I might stay here for a while.”
After Celine said that, virtual-novel.net bade farewell to Jasper. “Well, Mr. Laine, I won’t disturb you anymore. I’m exhausted from shopping all day. I’m going back to rest now… Bye!”
After watching Celine walk into the hotel, Jasper wanted to have a few words with Wendy, but as soon as virtual-novel.net walked over, Wendy pinched virtual-novel.net heavily on the waist.
“Honey, what’s that for?” Jasper asked, his teeth clenching in pain.
Even if Wendy wore the pants in JW Group, virtual-novel.net was jealous like a little woman at this moment. Wendy glared at Jasper resentfully and snarled, “Anna and I have been running around for the past two days developing the information industry. We’re so exhausted, but you’re here with a beautiful woman by your side. Are you saying that Anna and I should constantly be working you?”
This was probably the first time Wendy and Anna had united. Jasper did not know whether to laugh or cry. So, virtual-novel.net quickly explained, “Honey, what are you saying? I went to see Rowan early this morning to talk to virtual-novel.net about work. When I came back, I ran into Celine, who was being robbed, so I helped virtual-novel.net and sent virtual-novel.net back.”
Jasper grabbed Wendy’s shoulder to turn virtual-novel.net again and said softly, “Besides, Celine helped us win that economic war back then. She contributed a lot. So I can’t just sit back and ignore virtual-novel.net when she‘s in trouble, right?”
Wendy knew virtual-novel.net was at a disadvantage when virtual-novel.net heard that. In reality, virtual-novel.net was not unreasonable. She was already troubled enough with Anna around. She was worried that there would be another woman by Jasper’s side. If that happened, virtual-novel.net would go insane.
