Victory in Life
Chapter 558
The end of the year is coming soon. The Jasper family has three important dining events that they have held throughout the year.
The first is on the 24th, Christmas dinner.
Another one is on the 25th, Christmas lunch.
The last one is on the 26th, Christmas Gifts breakfast.
The South has almost the same traditions, but they only eat at different times of the day.
Just a few days before Christmas. Wendy must return to the province to accompany Dawson. After all, even though he didn't say anything about being left alone in the province, everyone knew he wished his daughter to accompany him during this special day.
Jasper started preparing for Christmas dinner this year after he said goodbye to Wendy.
Although the Laine family was not large, as they were from the village, there were relatives who moved around and they were all still in close contact with each other.
Moreover, since they knew he had made it big this year, the majority of Jasper's relatives suggested to have Christmas dinner this year in Tefa City for various reasons.
Sally and Charlie would not let go of this opportunity to have bragging rights in front of their relatives. Thus, they immediately agreed and declared that they would pay for everyone's room and meal.
Jasper doesn't mind. It doesn't matter if they are relatives or his tribe. Men cannot survive in the world alone.
Jasper was willing to keep in touch with them as well, but on condition that they did not
treat him as a dairy cow just because he's rich now. If they did that, he would ignore them.
In his past life, he had seen many people who held grudges because their relatives did not share their income with them after becoming big in the world.
When dealing with such relatives, Jasper's only reaction was to ask them to stay as far away from him as possible.
Jasper sat in John's office and crossed one of his legs over the other as he spoke to his mother, Sally, over the phone.
Very crowded and noisy on the other end of Sally's phone. A group of his relatives must have arrived at his family villa.
Occasionally, Jasper could also hear the voices of relatives who were amazed and fascinated.
Even Sally's eyes smiled as she said, "Alright, we'll leave now. Hey, where'd you get those cars?"
Jasper smiled as he glanced at John and said, "I borrowed it from a friend. You don't have to worry about that. That's all for now."
After he hung up, Jasper said to John, "Thank you so much for your help, John. Otherwise, I would never have been able to book that private room at the Shangri-La Hotel. And thanks for those six BMWs as well. I'll never get it myself."
John smiled as he said, "I dare not take credit for this. I asked Kai after you told me about this last night. The man was a social butterfly and had friends everywhere."
"His social circle has evolved since what happened last time. He is very popular now and is the leader of the circle in Faith Province."
Jasper said seductively, "What about Samuel?"
John said happily, "Do you think Samuel dared to show up while you were here? I heard from someone that he was planning to move to Dusk Province."
"I don't have time for him. He can move wherever he likes" Jasper said calmly.
John's voice was lowered as he said, "Jasper, Kai has been looking for an opportunity to thank you personally."
"Take this time, for example. The end of the year is near, and most people have already booked a room at the hotel a few months in advance. He went straight to those people with a few million dollars in cash and half bribed, half against them to get this room for you."
"The same goes for cars. He spent the whole night running around before he got it all."
