“Whatever helps you sleep at night, then,” Jasper replied plainly.
“But I’d appreciate it if you stopped pretending that you’re better than everyone else. You look immature.”
Jasper’s words infuriated Lisa.
“What did you say?!” Lisa screamed.
“I think you’re just humiliated because we saw through your lies.”
Then, Lisa sneered. “That has to be it, or how about you show us your driving license as proof?”
Jasper replied calmly, “You’re just going to suspect that I’m living off Wendy’s money when you see my name on my driving license, won’t you?
“I could show you my bank account balance, but then you’d suspect that I faked that too. Or perhaps I had photoshopped it.”
Smiling, Jasper spoke plainly, “I don’t have to prove anything to you at all. You acting like you’re better than everyone just looks childish and stupid to me.
“I won’t deny that you have a great family background, but that does not make you nobles who are better than everyone else.
“People are people, and if you think being rich gives you the right to look down on people, then people richer than you will only look down at you in the same way. That’s karma.”
Ben replied coldly, “What are you trying to say, then? Lisa’s right, you’re just guilty.”
“I don’t need to hear your opinion or what you think about him,” Wendy suddenly spoke, turning to look at Ben and Lisa indifferently.
“My relationship with him is our own matter, and I don’t need, nor is it up to, you to interfere and decide on what should happen in it. Thank you for caring, but your so-called care has only made me feel uncomfortable. How about you take care of yourselves first?”
Wendy then turned to Jasper and said in a soft tone, “Let’s go, Jasper. I’m a little tired.”
Jasper nodded and left with Wendy, his arm around her waist.
Envious and furious, Ben’s gaze was filled with fury and jealousy as he stared at the two exiting figures.
Especially the hand Jasper rested on Wendy’s slim waist. It almost seemed like he was doing it on purpose to piss him off as, instead of letting go, Jasper immediately held her tighter.
“B*stard!” Ben clenched his jaw and growled.
Lisa tugged at Ben’s shirt and whispered, “Don’t worry, Benny, we still have time. We’ll find a way to get him back for this.”
Ben scoffed. “People like him will never have the right to be compared to me. It’ll only be a matter of time before I make Wendy understand that I’m the one who’s right for her.”
Lisa nodded. “Yeah, I believe you.”
Ben’s expression smoothed out and he smiled. “Enough about me, how has your relationship with Mr. Erik Turner been lately? The family’s been really eager to know how you’re doing. It’ll be great for the family if a marriage union with the Turner family is set in place.”
Lisa smiled proudly. “It’s going smoothly. We need the Turners, and the Turners need the support from the business people of haddock as well.
“I don’t know what happened but he doesn’t seem to be in a good mood these days. He looks ready to kill someone every time I saw him. I’d say he got his d*ck cut off if I didn’t know any better.
“It shouldn’t be anything big though, Erik asked me out for dinner tonight.”
Ben nodded, pleased by what he was hearing. “If you and Mr. Turner can take things a further step in your relationship, I’d say it’d be worth this MBA in Swallow Capital. Since we did all this just so you would have a reason to get closer to Mr. Turner.”
