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.”

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.
