Ecen if Jasper had not gifted Hoofmorn University such an unrefusable present, Mr. Marshman would still have welcomed Jasper grandly on behalf of Old Master Law’s introduction and Jasper’s strengths.

However, such a grand greeting would only be out of common respect.

After all, Old Master Law had put in a word, and Jasper was no longer the nobody he once was.

As the owner of JW Capital and its subsidiaries, Jasper was quite a formidable man.

However, Jasper did not want a courteous greeting for the sake of respect.

Jasper hoped to establish an even deeper relationship with Hoofmorn University so that it could become a place that nurtured JW’s future talents.

“Mr. Marshman, Department Chiefs, since we’ve already brought up the matter, then allow me to go straight to the point.”

In the small meeting room in Hoofmorn University’s administrative building, Jasper cleared his throat in front of a group of professors and cleared his thoughts before he started slowly.

“No!
