Lisa’s expression darkened when she saw the papers in Jasper’s hands.

She knew that Jasper had found a weakness and without a reasonable explanation, Jasper would surely blow the issue up. She would be put in a difficult position then.

Dudley wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and scoffed. Yet he did not say a word.

It was evident that the two planned to leave the matter alone by denying and remaining silent.

Jasper looked at the two and spoke, “So you’re not going to admit it? Alright, then.”

Jasper then turned to look at the receptionist who was still dazed and frightened. He spoke, “Could you please call Mr. Gardner?”

“Huh?” The receptionist looked at Jasper blankly. Her brain had yet to catch up to what was happening.

“Tell him that if he doesn’t come over and deal with this as fast as he can, then I’ll sue his daughter on grounds of stealing trade secrets.”

Lisa jumped up like a cat who had her tail stepped on. “What nonsense is that, Jasper?!

“You have to take responsibility for your words! You can’t just accuse me of stealing trade secrets without evidence! You really think you’re on top of the world?”

“We’ll know if we investigated,” Jasper spoke calmly.
