Chapter 189

Chapter 189

Three people and a dog stepped out of the car, led by Teddy into the mansion. There was a security checkpoint at the entrance of the mansion, and the three of them, along with the dog, passed through one by one. As they entered the grand foyer, the sweltering heat outside was instantly replaced by the cool blast of air conditioning.

An overpriced crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, imported marble floors beneath their feet, and a landscape water feature sitting in the middle of the living room, it was like stepping into the lobby of a five-star hotel. Well, another big shot with a taste for the finer things in life.

"My apologies for keeping you waiting." A man in his forties, donned in a khaki silk pajama set, sporting gold-rimmed glasses, gracefully descended the spiral staircase.

The man, wearing a pair of five-figure Hermès slippers, extended a gentlemanly and scholarly smile, reaching out his hand to Jasper, "Jasper, your reputation precedes you.

The man's smile was unyielding, "I suppose that's my fault for not managing them properly. Now that you're here, Jasper, we look forward to your future assistance."

"No need for the niceties. I don't meddle in others' affairs."

"Ha! I can tell Jasper is a man of great potential. In these end times, with your abilities, you're bound to make a name for yourself. We at Silver Asylum need people like you."

The man walked over to the liquor cabinet and opened a bottle of whiskey, pouring a drink for Jasper, "You can call me Bryce. Here's to our future collaboration."
