“He’s called Jasper Laine. Why don’t you go back to Faith County and find out who screwed Hugh Lewis over? That’s why merely for you, it’s still a little too soon. ”
Samuel heard this and felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Jasper Laine… He had heard of this name.
Faith County’s most famous stock god of the year. He heard that Jasper had even clashed with Hugh Lewis back then.
However, who the hell was Jasper Laine? He had never met him before.
That was because Jasper had already set off for the province when he returned from somewhere else. Later on, Jasper had been in Harbor City and Swallow Capital for some time before only returning recently.
There were rumors that Hugh had been taken down by Jasper, but Samuel only turned his nose at it.
He had fought Hugh for so many years when he was at Faith County and never once won.
Yet, some guy who had crawled out of God knew where could?
The truth was right in front of his eyes now, however, and Samuel had no choice but to believe it.
Immense shock and fear shrouded him. When Samuel raised his head to look at Jasper again, there was no longer the overweening attitude from half a minute ago.
“Mister… Mr. Laine, I… I didn’t know you were…”
Samuel was even fumbling over his words.
He really could not muster up the courage to offend the person who could easily bring down Hugh Lewis.
“It doesn’t matter who I am.”
Jasper glanced at Samuel and said faintly, “I had no interest in you, yet you were the one who kept looking for me for trouble.”
Samuel was almost in tears. He stooped down, apologized to Jasper with all his might, and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Laine. I was truly blinded by anger just now. I didn’t expect you to be Kai’s patron. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to trouble you even if I were given three shots of liquid courage.”
Jasper said indifferently, “I’m nobody’s patron. It just so happened that John asked me for help this time. Not to mention, Kai has quite a good character and is unlikely to be beyond redemption for just a single mistake.”
“Yes, yes, it’s as Mr. Laine has said.” Samuel did not dare refute him and continued pandering.
Jasper stood up. He walked toward Samuel and said with a smile, “Do you still want to take back the six million dollar check?”
Samuel’s expression was bitter. He had really messed up this time, and there was no chance for him to even say that he felt wronged.
“No, no, I dare not. I was willing to bet, so I’ll admit defeat.”
“That’s great. I would like to thank Mr. Ray for his generosity. Coincidentally, I will pass this money to a relative of mine to invest in a hotpot business. Once it’s successful, you have to come support it.”
Samuel’s face went taut. He did not know what Jasper meant but still replied carefully and respectfully, “Of course, I’ll definitely be there.”
“Alright, the matter here is resolved. I have to head back first.” Jasper stretched his waist and bade farewell to Kai and John.
Kai hesitated before saying, “Mr. Laine, I only need six million. The 800,000…”
“Just keep it. With this personality of yours, you will still suffer plenty of losses in the future. I don’t care about the 800,000.” After saying this, Jasper left.
Kai was stunned. He did not know whether to cry or laugh.
Turning his head away, Kai said to John, “What should we do with the 800,000 dollars? I can’t possibly keep it. Mr. Laine has already helped me so much. It’s the same as him saving my entire family’s lives.”
“Isn’t it simple? It’s going to be New Year’s soon. You could find an excuse to give a New Year’s greeting and deliver the money to his door. It would be a gesture of good faith and thoughtfulness,” John patted Kai on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Kai nodded in agreement and then said with a sigh, “It’s so amazing. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed in Mr. Laine’s ability. Not even in my dreams. It’s such a shame that I doubted him before. I was such a… snob.”
As soon as Jasper walked out of Kai’s company, his phone rang. It was Wendy calling.
“Jasp, where are you? I’m at your place.”
“Where are you? I’ll come pick you up now!”
