Harvey’s face turned a bright shade of red as he curled his hands into fists and roared like a wounded animal.
“What should we do? How am I supposed to know that?!”
Harvey glared at Mark before he raised a hand to give Mark a resounding slap across the face.
“I asked you to come to apologize. Is this how you apologize?! Huh?!”
As Harvey bellowed, his vision went black and he nearly collapsed onto the ground.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “The Zion family will preserve whatever power it can. As for the rest… we’ll talk about them in the future!”
…
Jasper had gotten himself another room to work in so that he would not interrupt Wendy’s sleep.
When Jasper returned with Julian, he found Wendy curled up lazily on the couch and watching television.
“Done?” Wendy asked.
“Yes.” Jasper nodded and asked gently, “Aren’t you going to bed yet?”
“I was waiting for you,” Wendy answered in a matter-of-fact tone.
Laughing softly, Jasper said, “It was a success. We should be able to move the project forward tomorrow.”
“How are you planning to get rid of the Zion family?” Wendy asked curiously.
Jasper thought for a moment. The Zion family owned several businesses, but only the shipyard was worth something. He did not have his eyes set on anything else either.
“I’ll have Mr. Lambert deal with it tomorrow,” Jasper answered.
Wendy nodded and looked at Julian who was standing wordlessly at the door. She called out to him, “You’re Julian, right?”
Julian, who rarely talked to strangers, let alone beautiful women like Wendy, was startled. He nodded.
His expression was one of surprise and bewilderment.
Wendy giggled, her liking toward the large, down-to-earth guy increasing.
“You can be Jasp’s bodyguard. Your monthly salary will start at 30,000 with a bonus at the end of the year. Your basic salary is 30% of your annual salary. We’ll sponsor two trips per year to any location you like, and you can bring your family along.
“As for the workload itself, it’ll be harder for you at first since you’ll be alone. But I’ll continue adding members to Jasp’s team of bodyguards, and you’ll act as the leader. Your workload will decrease once you have subordinates.”
This was what Wendy had been thinking about before.
Now that Jasper’s status in society was elevating, he needed to start paying attention to his safety.
Especially after what had happened tonight. Who knew what would have happened if they had been more vicious.
Thus, Wendy wanted Julian to stay.
To her, Julian seemed much more reliable and better at combat than her dad’s bodyguards.
Not only was Julian stunned at what Wendy had said, but even Jasper was also on the verge of laughter.
He had once told Wendy that he would like Julian to stay and work as his bodyguard, but he had not expected Wendy to be this many steps ahead of him.
Even so, Jasper was quite touched.
He could tell that Wendy was undoubtedly serious about this matter. She would not have made this decision on her own unless she was convinced it would benefit Jasper.
“But…” Julian said hesitantly.
To be honest, he had no reason to reject an offer with such great benefits.
Moreover, Julian was broke and wanted to find a rich family that he could rely on to earn a living.
However, he could not leave now.
Wendy guessed the reason for his hesitation. “Is this because of your sister?
“I’ll go visit your sister tomorrow. Don’t worry about her bone marrow transplant surgery. We’ll do our best to scour the entire country to find someone who’s a match. We’ll search the entire globe if needed. And we’ll pay for all the treatment as well.”
Wendy laughed gently as she asked another question.
“What level of education does your sister have?”
Julian’s eyes lit up as he hurriedly answered, “She’s a university student.”
“I can arrange for your sister to work in our company when she has fully recovered. That way, you won’t have anything to worry about.”
Julian was extremely excited, but he still glanced instinctively at Jasper.
