“Leaving so soon, Mr. Laine and Young Master Law?”
Both of them had not walked far away from the private room, Adele’s voice came from behind.
Jasper stood still and turned around, smiled at Adele, and said, “We must leave, there’s still work to do. Lady Boss Adele, is there anything I can help with?”
Adele smiled faintly and shook her head. “Nothing, but Mr. Laine, you can just call me by Adele. I wouldn’t dare to address myself as a lady boss in front of you. Not to mention that it sounds old fashioned being called that way.”
Jasper gave out a laugh. “Sure, I’ll take note of that.”
“Take care, Mr. Laine, do visit here often, ” Adele spoke gently.
“I will.” Jasper nodded.
Henry grinned and said, “I’ll come more often too.”
Adele gave a faint smile and replied, “That’s great. I’ll personally make tea for both of you the next time you’re here again.”
“Hey, I don’t feel like leaving anymore.” Henry gave an evil grin.
Adele chuckled. “It is an honor that Young Master Law likes it here, but my teahouse isn’t big enough to provide accommodation, only enough to have tea here.”
“Let’s go.”
Jasper spoke before Henry caught the chance to flirt with Adele again.
Adele was a tricky person, her background was unknowingly mysterious too. Jasper did not plan to rub shoulders with her too much, not until he figured out her background.
Adele held a gentle and faint smile while watching them disappear at the end of the aisle.
Not long after, Conrad came out too.
“Miss Adele, I’m leaving.” Conrad showed great respect for Adele.
Adele nodded and smiled. “Take care, Mr. Monty.”
Something came across Conrad’s mind and he asked, “Miss Adele, people have been calling you by your name, but none of them know your family name. I’ve heard from a friend that Miss Adele’s family name is Browns, from the swallow capital in the North, is that true?”
Adele was still smiling and replied, “Indeed, my family name is Browns, but it has nothing to do with Brew Splash Teahouse. I’m just the owner of this teahouse.”
Conrad suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart, nodded, and said, “I understand, Miss Adele. Please wait a minute.”

On the way back, Henry looked at Jasper and asked, “Do you trust him?”
“He didn’t lie,” Jasper answered.
“It wasn’t about trusting him, it’s a mutual benefit partnership, so why not?”
Henry was unhappy. “He gives me that enigmatic feeling.”
“It was as if he’s not the same person I knew in the past.” Jasper narrowed his eyes and said, “Speaking about how much he has grown, he’s changed the most among the people I’ve ever met…”
“Hey, are you afraid?” Henry laughed.
Jasper shook his head, and replied, “Not really, I have my ways of dealing with him. It looks like we should review his identity, this man might surprise us.”
Right after Jasper reached his home, Jake called his phone.
“Mr. Laine, US stock market will be opening in a few hours, we only have less than 500 million US Dollars in hand. We’ll go into liquidation if Dow Jones Index increase more than 10 points.”
Jasper answered, “I know, just wait for it.”
