Chapter 93
Jasmine had only told the truth. She really did think that the new chairman of Emgrand Group was a mysterious man.
After all, he had been able to acquire a group that was worth over a hundred billion just because he wanted t o. Moreover, he hadn't shown his face at all throughout this process. It would seem that his net worth was much grander than that of Emgrand Group, s
In comparison, the Moore family would seem quite insignificant. 1
However, she had not realized that the chairman of Emgrand Group was currently sitting in her passenger’s seat.
Charlie, on the other hand, was a man who liked to keep things as low-profile as possible. Although he would dismissively respond to Jasmine, he never once revealed any information about his identity to her. 8
In a fast but steady speed, they had arrived at a small garden near the river in just a few minutes. The garden was elegant and tranquil. On the outside, it seemed quite worn and crude, however, it was extremely grand on the inside. 3
From a small bridge over crystal clear water to a Suzhou styled garden and even to the elegant
pavilions, it was everything a man would dream of. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After parking the car, a butler greeted them and led them inside. Walking past the garden, they walked into the lobby which was decorated in traditional Chinese furniture. A crimson round table was set in the middle of the area where several fauteuils were arranged around it.
Upon entering the lobby, a white-haired old man stood up and greeted Jasmine. "You have arrived, Miss Moore."
A look of awkwardness flashed across Jasmine's face, but she nodded at the man. "Uncle Quilt, you're here as well." 3
The old man smiled. "Master said you would be coming, so I decided to come over and check up on you!"
Jasmine nodded and turned to Charlie. "Uncle Quilt is the appraiser of the Moore family. I'm guessing someone from my family sent him here just in case something goes wrong.” 3
Charlie nodded, fully acknowledging that he was too young and inexperienced. It was understandable for them to take precautions. 1
Quilt glared at Charlie. "This is the appraiser that you hired? Isn’t he a little too young to be an appraiser?"
A middle-aged man who was standing next to Quilt snarled, "You hired a little brat to appraise? Do you not have enough hands back in the Moore family? Do you need me to introduce some appraisers? Hahahaha!" 3
Jasmine's expression turned cold. "Travis Lane, this is Aurous, not Lancaster. Don't you dare run your mouth here." 2
Travis shrugged. "Guess the Moore’s have quite the temper."
"Now, now..." A middle-aged man who was sitting at the round table furrowed his eyebrows. "We're just here for business, not to start a fight, let's all calm down. You too, young man, sit down."
Jasmine huffed and sat down at the round table.
As Charlie sat down as well, Jasmine leaned toward him and whispered, "That's Travis Lane, the richest man in Lancaster. The guy next to him is Matthew Gibson, a powerful geomancer. The one
who just spoke up is Graham Quinton, the head of the Quinton family in Aurous. His family has been..." 4
Charlie then noticed that there was an old man in green traditional Chinese clothing sat next to Travis. The old man had a full head of gray hair and he looked unworldly, carrying an unapproachable aura. His eyes were closed shut, and even when Charlie and Jasmine had arrived, it didn't seem to catch his attention.
Suddenly, Jasmine let her words trail off and stopped talking. Charlie was still curious about what she was going to say next, but he decided not to push her. 2
As everyone finally sat down, a fat man in glamorous clothing chuckled. "Since we're done with the fighting, why don't we get down to business? Take a good look at this beauty! All of you are from wealthy families, I'm sure a billion is just mere pocket change, so let’s now dwell on it for too long." s
Travis scoffed. "If it really is what you claimed it to be, that it can regulate geomancy and calm our soul, a billion really isn’t a big deal."
