Life at the Top

Chapter 852

It was late at night when Jasper returned home. Wendy was sitting on the couch and watching television as she waited for him.

“Didn’t I ask you to head to bed first? You didn’t need to wait for me.”

Jasper bent down and spoke gently to Wendy who had a bleary expression on her face as she curled up on the couch.

A smile appeared on Wendy’s face when she saw Jasper’s face in front of her. Taking her hands out from under the blanket, she encircled Jasper’s neck as she said, “I can’t fall asleep if you’re not home. Are you hungry? Do you want supper?”

“It’s okay, I’ll just make myself some instant ramen,” Jasper said.

“That stuff is so unhealthy,” Wendy said as she glared at him. She got up and walked to the kitchen as she said, “Wait for me. I’ll make you some pasta.”

Jasper smiled as he watched Wendy’s retreating figure and inhaled her pleasant scent before turning to walk into his study.

A sheet of paper was lying on his fax machine.

John had sent over Cloud Rider Mining Company’s assets list.

Question marks were listed in every column, indicating that the amount was unknown, except the column for cash assets. That one was stated with a hefty 2,500,000,000—a string of numbers that would cause one’s heart rate to increase.

However, such numbers had long since lost their appeal to Jasper.

Jasper was still staring at the sheet of paper when Wendy entered with a steaming plate of pasta.

“What are you thinking about?”

Wendy placed the plate in front of Jasper and leaned forward to take a look before she said jokingly, “Why, are you thinking of taking this money away?”
