NovelEnglishThe waiter brought out the food and drinks once again.
Harrison asked with concern, "Nashy... how is Jasper doing?" The couple has encountered several attacks in recent times, each teasily resolved by Jasper.
Having such a bodyguard around made the couple feel more at ease.

Harrison nodded. "Yes, it's been a long tsince he had a break, so let him rest properly for the next couple of days!" Hera placed a piece of meatball that was half eaten onto Nash's plate and said worriedly, "Then you two should rest for a couple of days too. I'll be worried if Jasper isn't around to protect you!" Despite his rising fand reputation, Nash knew that saudacious business rivals might target his family. Just a few days ago, a mentally ill person had gone to his parents-in-law and splashed sulfuric acid at them. It was Jasper who had resolved the crisis. Nash stuffed the meatball Hera had bitten into his mouth and took a few bites of broccoli before asking vaguely, "By the way... is Jasper dating anyone lately?" Lauren and Harrison glanced at each other, both shaking their heads.
Harrison said, "Probably not. He hardly ever shows interest in women!" Nash was not convinced and asked again, "Are there any women who often approach him?" Harrison's eyes lit up. "Now that you mention it, a while ago, the director of the Publicity Department in Baroque askedabout Jasper!" Athena from the Publicity Department? A strange light flashed in Nash's eyes. It was highly probable that Athena was behind Jasper's soul being taken.
Lauren put down her utensils and asked softly, "Nashy, are you suggesting that Jasper's condition is related to Ms. Athena?" She certainly did not believe that Jasper would turn into a walking corpse just because he was overworked.
A powerful martial artist, no matter how tired, could recover the next day.
Plus, Jasper had been in this condition for almost a week now.
Since it would be difficult to fool them, Nash had no choice but to admit, "It's more likely than not. Ms. Athena must be involved in sdirty business!" Lauren's pupils slightly contracted. "It's no wonder..." Hera nervously asked, "No wonder what, Mom?" After taking a deep breath, Lauren said, "Ms. Athena entered Baroque two years ago. At that time, she was just an ordinary planner in the Publicity Department.
"In the past six months, she suddenly rose rapidly and was constantly promoted, until she climbed to the position of director. All her competitors either resigned or had very bad luck!" Hera looked at Nash in surprise and asked, "Is it similar to what happened with Yellow Crane?" "Heaven has its own laws, people have their own paths, ghosts have their own realms, and there's a middle way for humans. Those who do good deeds may enter the path of heaven, while evildoers will inevitably fall into the realm of ghosts! "Yellow Crane cultivates righteous virtues and follows the laws of heaven. Upon achieving mastery, he ascended to the immortal realm. Those who practice unorthodox methods will fall into the realm of ghosts and ultimately face divine punishment!" Nash explained, giving off an aura of a transcendent figure.

The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow at 6:00 pm!" Hera's eyes also lit up but soon dimmed again. "The villas at Gladwell are too expensive. Even the cheapest ones cost a billion!" The Gladwell project started two years ago. At that time, she had secretly made up her mind to earn money and buy a riverside villa in Gladwell.
Melody's mouth curved up slightly. "It's just a billion... I..." Before she could finish her sentence, her smile suddenly froze.
She had temporarily transferred her shares in Universal Group to Fabian to compete for the chairmanship, and the money she had obtained from Nash had been invested in Stone Group.
Now, Stone Group was undergoing major restructuring. It would be difficult to use the funds in the account for now.
Lauren took out a black card from her bag and said gently, "Mel... Since you consider us your godparents and we haven't given you any gifts, take this card. There's 1.5 billion in it.
Consider it a present from your goddad and me!" "1.5 billion?" Hera's eyes widened. "Dad, Mom, did you manage to liquidate the funds so quickly?"
