For a split second, Jasper saw a clear flash of excitement flash through Tiffany’s eyes only for them to dim immediately after.
She tilted her head down slightly and shook it, but she did not say anything.
“Think about it. If you want to study, then I can send you to university. Your choice of national universities.
“I have methods to get you in, and I’ll pay for your tuition and life there. Don’t worry about your brother, I’ll have someone pay for his education as well. I’ll also send someone over to take care of him.
“Treat it as me lending you money. You can pay me back by working for me after graduation,” Jasper spoke gently.
Tiffany replied softly, “Thank you, Mr. Laine.”
“Call me Jasper,” Jasper walked to the kitchen, “Is there anything to eat?”
“Right, Big Sis Schuler had me make a bowl of porridge for you. It’s still hot, so let me take it out for you.”
“Thank you, that’s exactly what I wanted to eat. Yo, you’ve got my favorite brand of pickles too.”
“Big Sis Schuler specified it. She said you’d throw a tantrum if it was any other brand.”
“Don’t listen to her, I’m not that particular.”
…
In the Presidential Office of Softwin’s Somerland Branch, while Jasper chatted with Tiffany over porridge.
Echo Welch was currently listening to his subordinate’s report.
“Mr. Welch, this is what we know of the current situation. Our sources are extremely reliable, as I heard it directly from one of Abbylon’s senior executives.”
Echo sneered and replied, “Abbylon Inc is still a small company, but President Shon from the headquarters believes that they have a very promising future. He told me to build a good relationship with Wayne before I came to assume my position here in the Somerland branch.
“I haven’t even been here for long and this Jasper Laine wants to become one of Abbylon’s shareholders? Does he not know that Softwin is Abbylon’s majority shareholder? He thinks he can steal our assets without our approval?”
The subordinate hesitated for a moment before he replied, “Mr. Welch, I’ve done some digging on this JW Capital and I don’t think it’s going to be easy dealing with them.
“Jasper the most capable person in Somerland’s dot-com industry. Both Sena and Terizone belong to him.
“In addition to this, JW Capital has also invested in other industries. JW Electronics, for example, has partnered with Coreana’s Sentel Corporation. The company purchased Sentel’s MP3 patented technology and has succeeded in upgrading it, thus becoming the only MP4-producing company in the world.
“JW Capital’s also involved in the real estate industry. Their strength in the Southeast province is immeasurable.
“According to the evaluation carried out by our professionals, JW Capital and its subsidiaries can unite to form a comprehensive and strong modernized group.
“I fear that rashly starting a conflict with them will threaten Softwin’s plans to find its footing here in Somerland.”
Echo grabbed a dart and suddenly threw it at the target hanging on the wall.
With a ‘woosh’, the dart accurately pierced through the heart of the target six-to-seven meters away.
Echo smiled confidently and spoke in a cold tone, “You think too much, Yona. You must understand that Somer descents are born cowards who only bully those weaker than them. They may fight vigorously among themselves, but they will never be an opponent to us great Sunrisers.
“Go give that Jasper a call. Have him come to Waterhoof City immediately. Tell him I wish to see him.”
