”Object?”
Once the voice of objection was heard, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone was aware that Sebastian’s status in this industry was very high.
Only a handful of people dared to go against him when he spoke.
Including Sebastian, nobody expected someone to be so daring at that moment to jump out and object.
‘Isn’t this just like wanting to slap Sebastian on the face in public?’
Exasperated, Sebastian looked over only to find out the one who stood up to talk was the young man beside Dawson.
Suddenly, Sebastian’s expression became dark.
The scene at that moment was very quiet. Everyone was sneaking a peek at Jasper, including Sebastian who was wearing a very awful expression.
Most of the people were looking forward to seeing how things would turn out.
Amidst the crowd, Chris came to Dawson and said into his ear with shock on his face, “Is this brat out of his mind? Why don’t you stop him?”
Dawson smiled calmly, and said, “Why should I stop him?”
It was as if it was the first time Chris was getting to know Dawson. “Judging from Sebastian’s temper, do you think he’ll let Jasper off the hook? Isn’t he your daughter’s boyfriend? Are you just going to watch him dig his own grave?”
‘Even the Turner family was forced to step down by Jasper, what more Sebastian who’s alone?’
Dawson was feeling thrilled, but his face did not show signs of it.
At that moment, Sebastian spoke.
“Dawson is the one who brought you here, right? You’re just a brat who hasn’t even gone through puberty. Your seniors don’t dare say a word, yet you think you have the right to talk?”
His comment immediately exposed Jasper’s identity. Everyone was surprised, and following then, everyone’s gazes on Dawson became ambiguous.
The conflict between Dawson and Sebastian was not a secret in the industry. Those who were in the industry for some time would know about it. More so, those who could come to participate in this conference were all big bosses in the supermarket industry.
“I’m representing Schuler Group, so why is it that I don’t have the right to talk? Since it’s a conference for the industry, then as one of the companies in the industry, it’s only natural that Schuler Group has the qualification to express their ideas.”
Jasper raised his head and looked straight at Sebastian who was on the podium and said with an appropriate attitude.
“Could it be that Chairman Walker is so domineering that you won’t even allow anyone to talk? Since that’s the case, if you really succeed in being this so-called chairperson, aren’t you going to be a tyrant in the future?”
The words Jasper said had bruised his ego. Sebastian’s expression changed drastically.
Initially, those who were against him were already not few, but at this moment, Jasper was still fanning the flames.
Subconsciously, he glanced over at the scene. Indeed, most of the people had a hesitant expression plastered on their faces.
Sebastian took in a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “Don’t go talking nonsense. Of course, I’ll allow others to talk. Besides, I’ll be glad to accept good ideas. As long as it’s a good opinion, I’ll accept it.”
“Then please accept my opinion. I object to this industry’s standard because I think it’s not going to benefit the development of the supermarket industry. Besides, this is just a trick for you to monopolize this industry.”
Jasper’s voice could even make the ground tremble.
However, no one expected anything good out of him.
They all just thought of Jasper as a silly brat who did not think things through before making a move.
Chris also shook his head while smiling in mockery.
“This silly brat. Is he saying that we, who have lived almost half of our lifetimes, are not able to see through the scheme as thoroughly as a young lad like him?” Chris tilted his body and said to the chairman of another supermarket company beside him.
“Youngsters are that easily triggered. He’s too impulsive.” That person shook his head and agreed to Chris’ words.
