“What sort of problems?” Jasper asked as he frowned.
Not only were the provincial government and its higher-ups in the department paying close attention to the Southface River project, but it was also currently the most important local project JW Real Estate had ever taken on. It did not make sense that there would be any problems.
“I think a real estate company from Waterhoof City is interested in developing the north bank of Southface River, and they’ve been in contact with Nauritius City’s government lately. The city hall is tempted by the favorable conditions they’re offering.”
“I’ll go check on them tomorrow,” Jasper said in a low voice.
The Southface River cut through the province. Its south bank was a wide, open area that was situated in a core area of the New City project. That naturally made it an important area.
However, the north bank was filled with mountains and would be a difficult piece of land to develop. Thus, it was not worth much.
However, a real estate company from Waterhoof City suddenly appeared and claimed to have an interest in developing the north bank. Without a doubt, that meant that they were challenging Jasper.
Jasper recalled his past life and confirmed that nothing like that had happened. This only further solidified his feeling that whoever was in the real estate company from Waterhoof City would not be a friendly face.
JW Real Estate had currently invested roughly 800 million dollars in the Southface River project. Nothing could go wrong with the project. Otherwise, the company would immediately collapse.
The next day, Jasper first went to sort out some documents at JW Company.
Jasper realized that although he had not been here, the office was in tip-top shape thanks to Wendy and Jack who had also been at Swallow Capital albeit for a short while.
The various departments were starting to fill up with employees and no longer looked like empty shelves. Instead, they had each started to function in their ways.
JW Company was now in control of various companies, including Terizone and Sena in Swallow Capital. Moreover, they also had a real estate company and an investment sector in the Mainland’s stock market under their name.
All this needed large amounts of manpower and physical resources to operate.
Thus, the villa, which used to be spacious, was now starting to become a little cramped.
It was time to consider constructing an office building just for JW Company.
Jasper pocketed that thought as he drove to Dawson’s house.
The smile on Wendy’s face had not left from the minute she spotted Jasper’s car parked downstairs.
All her love was on Jasper, who had just gotten out of the car.
“Tired? Come on in, my dad’s waiting for you. We can eat shortly after,” Wendy said gently as she took Jasper’s jacket from him.
Jasper smiled and took Wendy’s hand in his. “Come on, let’s go in first.”
Jasper’s worries lessened considerably when he saw the healthy glow on Dawson’s face.
“How’s your health?” Jasper asked.
Dawson smiled and said, “It’s just an old problem. I’ll be fine after a couple of days of rest.”
After they finished exchanging pleasantries, Jasper addressed the elephant in the room. “Tell me more about the real estate company in Waterhoof City.”
The expression on Dawson’s face darkened slightly as he answered, “Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
One simple name was all it took to clear the confusion from Jasper’s eyes.
Ian Hull and Norman Gardner were the president and vice president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce branch in Waterhoof City. If the real estate company was from Waterhoof City and belonged to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, then it was clear who was behind the scenes.
“Of course, it’s them,” Jasper said calmly. He had a neutral expression on his face that did not give his emotions away.
“What do you plan to do?” Dawson asked.
Jasper smiled as he said, “Of course, I’m going to fight. Have I ever been scared?”
