Jasper did not go anywhere nor did he do anything for the following two days, opting to stay by Wendy’s side instead where he channeled all his focus on her.
He relayed the details of what had happened to Dawson after he returned.
Out of all the details was his plan on how to deal with the aftermath of the problem.
At that, Dawson merely told him to leave the matters of the Hull family in the Southeast Province alone.
It then dawned on Jasper the power his future father-in-law had in the Southeast Province.
It was just as Ian had worried. Dawson’s power had been running deep in the Southeast Province for decades, and while he did not flaunt it all the time, his power was beyond imagination when he decided to use it.
“Jasper, according to the latest news, all of the Hull family’s power and funds have been pulled out from the market in the Southeast Province.”
Julian reported to Jasper in the backyard of the villa.
Jasper was focused on peeling the apple in his hands. The smooth apple continued to turn in his hand while the long strip of its skin fluttered in the air. The peel seemed moments away from breaking, but it did not happen even after he had completely skinned the apple.
After the apple was skinned, Jasper then cut it into small slices and fed them to Wendy before he replied, “This future father-in-law of mine sure is powerful.”
Wendy had completely recovered after two days of rest.
The slap was the only physical injury she suffered, and she had spent the two days recovering from the emotional shock she received.
After all, Wendy was not just any woman. She had already readjusted and recovered from her emotional trauma as much as she could in the shortest amount of time.
Hearing Jasper, she chewed the apple as she replied nonchalantly, “My dad didn’t do anything at all yesterday. All he did was sit in the office of the city’s government for an entire day and the results are seen today.”
“The Hull family has invested quite a bit in the Southeast Province. So with them pulling out, not only would the Hull family lose everything, but the Southeast Province will also be unable to come out of this unaffected.
“Ignoring everything else, the projects that have already begun are doomed to halt indefinitely. Even though the groundwork for the construction in the North Bank has just been completed, that’s as far as its progress will go. So there’s no way the city’s government will allow such a thing to happen.
“That’s why someone has to stand up to give the city’s government a direction. The city’s government no longer has the right to decide what happens anymore, and since there’s no way the conflict between our families can be resolved, their only option left is to choose one of the two families to remain.
“In comparison to the Hulls, after weighing our odds against theirs, it’s not a difficult choice the city’s government has to make.”
Jasper analyzed it clearly.
After speaking, he then saw Dawson walk in.
“Uncle Schuler.”
“Dad.”
Both Jasper and Wendy greeted at the same time.
Dawson nodded and smiled at his daughter before asking kindly, “How are you feeling? Any better?”
Wendy nodded. “Much better. I didn’t really get injured or anything. It shocked me more than anything.”
“That alone is enough to warrant the Hull family’s death,” Dawson replied indifferently.
Dawson turned to Jasper. “What will you do next now that the Hull family has pulled out of the Southeast Province?”
Instead of replying, Jasper asked, “The Hulls pulled out really hastily this time. It must be an effect of the pressure you put on them. I heard they took a flight out without even packing their luggage and things?”
