Reading Jasper’s reaction, Dawson knew that the former had understood his message.

Turning around, Dawson was about to introduce him to Conrad when he saw the man smile and wave his hand dismissively. “There’s no need to introduce us, Mr. Schuler. I’ve heard of Mr. Laine before.”

Jasper turned to Conrad and asked, “I’m honored to know that you’ve heard of me, Mr. Monty.”

Conrad replied calmly, “The host of Harbor City’s billion-dollar stocks rescue plan and the celebration banquet for the approval to host the Olympics in Swallow Capital. Just because ordinary people do not know of it does not mean I do not as well.

“There’s not much I can’t find out should I want to. And I just so happen to be intrigued by you as well.”

Jasper asked Conrad, “Could I ask what about me that has intrigued you, then, Mr. Monty?”

Conrad laughed aloud. “I heard that you sent Zayden to jail?”

Jasper’s expression was calm, but he did find himself shocked.

It had been no more than two hours since he showed his hand to Zayden and returned, yet Conrad seemed to already know what had happened.
