“This is getting interesting.”

Norman said coldly, breaking the silence. He got angrier the more he thought about it.

Norman flared up in rage as his expression morphed into one of anger. “Jasper Laine, don’t be an ungrateful wretch. The construction of the Southface River Bridge has been approved by the city government due to the benefits it’ll bring to the people. Does it not hurt your conscience to reject this project because of your own personal interests?” He questioned.

“I don’t understand what you mean,” Jasper said calmly. “The construction of the Southface River Bridge is a good thing. I expressed my support for it as well. However, I suggested a location that’s more suitable for the construction. Am I going against my conscience by doing so?” He asked.

“Alright, if that’s the case, then don’t mention the construction of the Southface River Bridge in front of me ever again. Even if you are going to build it, don’t even think of touching a piece my land on the South Bank. Do you think that you can construct this bridge without my approval?” He added.

Norman’s expression darkened. “Jasper Laine, you’re just making things harder than they need to be. Do you want me to force you to do so?” He spat angrily.
