An alluring lady strutted over to Jasper’s side and bent forward to pour him wine.
With both glasses poured, Lord Alvarado looked at Jasper in interest as if he was admiring a new toy.
“How sure are you?” Lord Alvarado narrowed his eyes and asked.
“Ninety percent,” Jasper replied.
Delicately defined brows arched and Lord Alvarado smiled. “This isn’t a funny joke.”
“I don’t have the habit of throwing my entire fortune and life out like a joke,” Jasper said.
As if satisfied with this response, Lord Alvarado said with a crescent eyed smile, “Good. This is an offering that suits my reputation. If this succeeds, then you and I can be friends.”
Jasper gave a small smile. “It’s an honor.”
“Interesting.” Lord Alvarado was in a great mood.
He knew that Jasper did not dare to lie to him. Otherwise, instead of being treated to a good round of hotpot, Jasper would be facing the possibility of being cooked in the hotpot
The Northwest Alvarado family had the power to make that happen.
Jasper was a smart man and he knew what choices to make.
So Lord Alvarado did not ask Jasper where his confidence and guarantee came from.
All he wanted was to see was results when the time came.
If it meant Jasper had to manifest it with magic then so be it.
“I’m in a good mood, so here’s a gift from me.”
Lord Alvarado waved his hand. “Bring him in…”
One of the suited men in the corner of the room left courteously.
A moment later, the private room doors were opened and a terrified Scott walked in.
Once he saw Jasper, Scott’s gaze immediately exploded with resentment.
“Jasper, you’re f*cking dead this time!”
Scott shouted arrogantly.
All prior worries he had disappeared once he knew that his family was acquainted with Lord Alvarado.
‘This was Lord Alvarado we’re talking about!’
‘An extremely formidable man!’
‘No matter how low a profile the Alvarado family kept, they were still called the Duke of the Northwest for a reason!’
‘All it’d take is the twitch of a finger for him to get rid of someone like Jasper!’
Thinking that Lord Alvarado had his back, Scott walked over to Jasper with his back straight.
“F*ck you! You probably never expected the Covington family to be Lord Alvarado’s men, huh? Don’t you regret your actions now?”
“Haha! I’m telling you, it’s too late to regret anything now! ”
Jasper looked at an extremely prideful Scott and said calmly, “Why didn’t you tell me you were Lord Alvarado’s man before? We wouldn’t have to get to this point if that were the case.”
Scott took Jasper’s meaningful words as fright.
So he became even more gleeful.
“Who the Hell do you think you are? Who are you to know of Lord Alvarado?”
Scott had a wretched expression on his face. “I’m going to make a fool out of you and kill you! Weren’t you acting prideful just now? Weren’t you arrogant?”
Scott then pointed at Julian behind Jasper and laughed out loud. “Hahaha! I thought your dog was a good fighter? How about you try and bare your teeth in front of Lord Alvarado, huh?”
Scott chuckled pridefully before he ran to Lord Alvarado’s side flatteringly and said in a sycophant manner.
“Marquis, this man is a moron. Not only did he steal the company you wanted, but he even said he wants to destroy the Covington family! If I were you, I’d just drag this f*cker out to feed the dogs.”
Lord Alvarado turned his head to smile at Scott with crescent eyes.
“Do you know what I hate the most?”
Scott was instinctively stunned when he heard Lord Alvarado.
However, seeing how Lord Alvarado was still smiling at him, Scott did not think the situation could be too bad.
