“I’m pushing you too far?”

Jasper looked at Norman and asked coldly, “Am I the one pushing you too far, or are you the one who’s forcing me to do this?”

Norman gritted his teeth and said frigidly, “Don’t you just want an explanation? Alright, I’ll give you an explanation!”

As he said that, Norman announced loudly, “From now on, I’m going to take a long break because of personal reasons. During this period, I won’t care about anything that’s happening in the chamber of commerce. Mr. Laine will be responsible for everything from now on.”

After he said this, Mr. Heron, who initially hoped that Norman could save him, collapsed on his seat. He wanted to cry but no tears were coming out.

Meanwhile, the other two members of the council had a change of expression on their faces.

“Mr. Gardner, you don’t have to do this. Please reconsider!” One of the members of the council implored him.

Compared to the more assertive Jasper, it was evident that they were more willing to listen to Norman’s orders.

Everything else aside, everyone knew that Jasper would not focus his attention on the chamber of commerce. Plus, if Jasper had the absolute authority of the chamber of commerce, they would suffer in the future.

“No need. I’ve decided,” Norman took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

After he said that, Norman stared at Jasper with rancor and asked, “Is this enough?”

“Jasper, I won’t care about anything that’s going to happen next. Our grudge ends here. I hope you can shape up.”

After Norman said that, he left with Lisa.

Jasper never stopped them. He just watched the two of their figures disappear from the meeting room.

After the door was closed, Jasper looked at Mr. Heron and said insipidly, “Mr. Heron, this will be the last time I call your name. From now on, you’re no longer a member of the Waterhoof City branch. Please leave.”
