The hotpot soup bubbled as steam permeated the air. In what seemed like a harmonious environment, Jasper and Lord Alvarado’s first meeting was taking place.

“Continuing where I left off, I don’t really care too much about Downstream Investment Comp any or the Covington family. They’re both toys and insignificant to me.”

Lord Alvarado focused on the hotpot in front of him and said slowly.

“But someone from the Covington family came to complain to me today that you’re being too domineering, that you’re vying to kill them after you stole their company. I had someone check and the situation’s pretty much as they claimed.”

Jasper arched his brow. He did not say anything. Arguing or explaining himself now was not a smart move.

Not to mention that explanations were futile in the adult world. When you had enough power, you could call a deer a ‘horse’ and someone would still praise you for having great eyesight.

If you were not powerful enough, someone would still call you an idiot no matter how much you explained yourself.

Lord Alvarado was satisfied with Jasper’s behavior and continued, “They think that if they complain to me, then I would get rid of you angrily. But they thought wrong.”
