Jasper spoke casually as he played with the coffee cup in his hands.Jack’s leaving frame was frozen in place as he turned to glare furiously at Jasper, spitting out the words, “I don’t think I understand what you mean.”Jasper looked up at Jack and smiled. “Your Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Fornia State University of Technology is fake.”Jasper’s tone was not that of a question, rather a statement that carried absolute certainty.In his past life, it would only be a few years before Jack’s falsified qualifications would come to light. It caused him great trouble, which then became one of the reasons why he left Weresoft.Jack’s expression shifted at the statement, and the man was mortified. “What do you want?”“I’m not trying to threaten you, Mr. Tanner, but I’m very sure that you spend every moment worrying about your falsified certificate of education. A lie will always be a lie, and it’ll only be a matter of time before people find out.”Jasper looked at Jack calmly. “In

“Over four billion…”It was a figure that would raise blood pressures and burst arteries. Jack felt his scalp go numb at the sight.While his current boss was Charles Granger, the richest man in the world, and four billion dollars was only a fraction of his wealth, it was not his yet. It was owned by his boss.As a professional manager, Jack’s annual salary was already considered to be one of the country’s top-paid occupations. Still, Jack’s mouth dried at the sight of such a terrifying figure.“If you still have any doubts, Mr. Tanner, you can come with me to Commercial Bank to verify it,” Jasper spoke plainly.Jack smiled in embarrassment and could hear the jab in Jasper’s words. “That’s alright. I’m sure you have no reason to joke about something like this, Mr. Laine.”“Indeed. Both our time is too precious for that.” Jasper gestured back at the seat Jack had sat on before. Understanding what he meant, Jack sat back down.Jack recollected his emotions and spoke, “If I may ask

“I know you believe me, and I promise I’ll make it come true. I want you to be there with me when it happens.”Jasper chuckled, leaving one hand on the steering wheel while he reached out to take Wendy’s hand with the other.Holding her hand, he placed it lightly over the gear.He had a beauty in the passenger seat of his luxurious car as he drove off.This was a scene almost every man had fantasized about.At that moment, Jasper was already on his way to success.The most important thing was that Wendy was the said beauty.Her tender and delicate hand trembled in Jasper’s broad palm from embarrassment, and the smoothness of her skin made him never want to let go.Wendy had not expected Jasper to make such a sudden move. Thank goodness it was dim inside the car. Her flushed cheeks could only be seen when the streetlamps flashed from time to time.Wendy’s heart raced as she felt her entire body freeze.The conservative part of her mind told her that she could not let Jasper to

How many enterprises were there in the country worth more than one billion dollars?Ignoring those that were national, there were less than a hundred private enterprises within the country that were worth more than one billion dollars. This meant that the moment Jasper’s company was registered, it would already be part of the top hundred enterprises in the country.“Quite the man you are, Jasper.” Mr. Ziegler sighed in admiration.“Thank you for helping me out, Mr. Ziegler, or the whole registration process would’ve taken much longer.” Jasper thanked politely.Mr. Ziegler waved his hand dismissively. Now that every local government began to openly ask for investment, wealthy businessmen like Jasper were considered VIPs no matter where they went. There was no reason for him to act high and mighty.“You’re too kind. I’m just doing my job. What do you want to name your company, though?”Jasper glanced at Wendy who had her lips pressed into a smile and gave the name he had come up wi

“If it hadn’t been for the invitations that I kept receiving from those few close female classmates, I wouldn’t have gone,” Wendy explained. “Don’t worry, I didn’t overthink it. It’s Ivan’s own business if he wants to pursue you. There are so many people out there chasing after you. However, since he’s about to show up in front of you, I want to tell him that he shouldn’t indulge in wishful thinking,” Jasper chuckled. “Your words make it easy for others to misunderstand our relationship,” Wendy murmured. “There won’t be any misunderstandings. I mean what I say, and you know it too,” Jasper said affirmatively. “Hey! You’re not even prepared yet! You... how can you just say that!?” “What do I need to prepare? What I meant was that you should focus on your work by my side instead of thinking about relationships. As a boss, I don’t want my secretary to be thinking of other men all the time.” “...Go to hell!” ......Five o’clock in the evening, Sheraton Hotel. As one of t

Jasper’s sudden act of intimacy shocked Wendy as well. However, she did not show any form of resistance and simply let him hold onto her. She knew that as a woman, she had to show full support for the man by her side. “What if I don’t let go?” Jasper asked calmly. The expression on Ivan’s face turned even more overcast. He sneered coldly. “You must not want to live anymore!” Noticing that everything was about to go haywire, Quinny pulled Ivan away at once. She chuckled, “Ivan, we’re all classmates. Don’t make things too awkward. Right, didn’t you mention that you wanted to recommend a stock to us? Tell us about it and enlighten your old classmates.” Ivan pointed at Jasper and snickered, “Wendy is just showing sympathy toward a poor jerk like you. Don’t think too highly of yourself and take things seriously. I’ll show you the difference between us today.” With that, Ivan fixed his clothes and announced arrogantly, “The stock I want to recommend to all of you is Atlantis

“All of you are being way too kind,” Jasper said with a smile. He knew the good intention behind John’s actions. John Jackson and the rest of them were all quick-witted and intelligent people. They could easily tell what was going on at just a glance. They could tell that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right. The other people in the room were not on the level to drink with them whereas the atmosphere was slightly off. With that, John and the others clinked their glasses with Jasper and left the room. Jasper had no interest in staying there either. He followed John and the others to the Orchid Chamber upstairs. On the other hand, Wendy did not leave as she instantly got surrounded by a bunch of their classmates. “Wendy, those people were all here to look for Jasper Laine?” “They seemed to treat him very courteously.”“What kind of person is Jasper now? How can he have a meal with those renowned people?” Annoyed by all the questions, Wendy spoke out directly

Wendy frowned and looked at Ivan. She asked stonily, “Is there anything else?” Ivan’s expression changed. His arrogant and haughty demeanor from before was long gone. He was simply a sore loser right now. “Since Jasper has so much money, can you put in a word for me? Help me out. We are all classmates. You can’t watch me go down like this, right?” He said with a pathetic stance. “That’s right. Since he’s so rich, he should distribute some to us.” “Even if he earned that much money, he can’t spend all of it. How can he bear to watch us suffer?” Once Ivan spoke out, a few petty people began to join in as well. “The lot of you are really... hopeless!” Wendy shouted. She was utterly shocked at how shameless these people were. “Jasp has never wanted to show off. Classmates or not, he has never minded. Ask yourselves. During our schooling days, or even just now, who among you have ever treated him like a classmate?“I was the one who forced him to come over today. However, I r
