Erik nodded and said seriously, “This is about the family’s collaboration with the business people from Haddock, so we can’t give up easily. If not, all that we’ve done back then would be in vain.”
“We can try. Your concerns are fine, but you have to be careful. If this is just about Henry, he’s just a hedonistic son of rich parents. If you can smooth-talk him, this will pass easily. However, if it’s related to Jasper, then you have to remove yourself from it quickly.”
When Erik heard what Brad said, his face looked bitter. He said miserably, “Is Jasper even scarier than the Laws?”
Brad said indifferently, “Henry is just a hedonistic son of rich parents and he values his image a lot. If you give him that, then everything will be dandy. However, how is Jasper the same? If he’s involved in this, this might not be a problem of showing him dignity or not.”
After a sigh, Erik slammed his fist down on his knee. His expression was gloomy.
…
Whether he was on good terms or bad terms with someone, at this moment, no one was able to stop Jasper from walking to the center of the stage.
After shaking the mayor’s hand intimately, he took the microphone. He thanked the mayor humbly before the mayor turned around to leave. Now, he was facing tens of thousands of audience members.
He had a confident and charming smile on his face. His alluring voice floated into everyone’s ears.
“Was the banquet tonight fun?”
In an era when people still gave solemn speeches on stage and no one was concerned about having interactions with the audience, Jasper’s opening words that were not a traditional greeting immediately made the audience members incomparably excited and refreshed.
“Yes!”
Resounding answers sounded from all corners, and Jasper almost drowned in the noise.
The smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
It was no wonder all of the main characters of the web novels he read before he got reincarnated would want to become a celebrity after they transmigrated or reincarnated. This was a pretty good feeling.
However, Jasper still felt that he did not like living under the spotlight. It would be fine to experience it once in a while.
He was more suitable to be the head of a financial group.
Handling wealth was even more meaningful than being a celebrity.
…
Jasper’s speech later was much more formal. After all, this was an official and formal event. It would backfire if there was too much entertainment.
Up until now, this banquet had reached Jasper’s expectations.
After his final line, the banquet ended perfectly amidst countless rueful sighs.
The live audience and honorable guests left the place in an orderly fashion. After Jasper ordered Ted and Ryder to assist the people exiting the place, he turned around and saw Anna who was standing not far away from him.
“You’re the most handsome one here tonight.”
Anna looked at Jasper and said with a sweet smile.
Jasper approached her and smiled. He said, “You said the press conference for your fashion line was delayed and you had to stay longer in Waterhoof City, so I thought you wouldn’t be able to make it today.”
Anna lifted her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. She said, “Today is such an important day for you, so I’ll definitely come. I didn’t waste my time coming. It was amazing.”
“Thanks,” Jasper said with a smile.
At this moment, Anna heard footsteps coming. She turned around and saw Wendy. She smiled at Jasper and said, “Alright, go have fun with your girlfriend. I’m going to look for my dad.”
“Alright, I’ll call you later,” Jasper said.
Anna chuckled lightly before turning around and walking away.
After Anna left, Jasper turned around and felt his vision getting blurry. He took in a sweet smell and felt a soft body in his arms.
The sweet-smelling wind caressed his face and then, the beautiful woman said with joy and a slight hint of jealousy, “You looked happy talking to Anna.”
