Chapter 2445: Chapter 2445: Mutual Exploitation and Scheming Against Each Other
Jasmine Yale and Kade Yuvan found themselves getting along well. As they chatted, Kade asked, "Jasmine, you’re also from Landon. Where’s your home, by the way? Do you have any family there? I could help you check on them."
"No family left, thank you."
"Why thank me? I just thought I’d check on your relatives for you, tell them Jasmine Yale has a beautiful daughter now," Kade chuckled. "Does this mean you won’t be going back to Landon anymore?"
"Pretty much."
"That’s a pity. I was hoping to have a fellow townsman to come and go with, watch out for each other."
"You’ll find fellow townspeople, and you’ll find a girlfriend. Hmm, in the new year, I wish you thriving relationships and a successful career."
"Wishing I don’t have to work overtime would be more practical. If you see me, you’ll definitely notice how much I’ve lost weight, very drastically."
"Losing weight is good; others want to lose weight but can’t!"
Little Clementine cried.
Only then did Jasmine Yale hang up the phone.
Jasmine Yale held the little one, soothing her constantly.
In her new clothes, the little one looked even more beautiful, appearing very spirited, a small ball, chubby and soft.
Little Clementine liked looking out the window, seemingly very curious about the outside world.
Once Jasmine was tired of holding her, she handed Little Clementine to Butler Santana.
She found some free time, breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the balcony, had a cup of coffee, and basked in the sun.
The stack of fresh newspapers at home had piled up like a mountain; since her hospitalization, she hadn’t flipped through them. Butler Santana also wasn’t fond of reading them, so the newspapers just heaped up in the corner, forming a thick layer.
Jasmine selected and pulled out the papers from the New Year’s days.
She wasn’t disappointed; the financial section extensively covered the James Group’s new financial district project, delving deep from various angles.
Jasmine understood a bit about finance; a quick glance told her the James Group indeed invested a fortune this time, wagering a considerable amount, but as Kade said, this project is highly complex; only seasoned individuals in the financial sector could operate it effectively.
Jasmine smirked; such a grand project surely wouldn’t be entrusted by Kieran Janus to outsiders, and among their own family, they might struggle to find someone knowledgeable in finance.
Judging by Erin Janus, the Janus Family isn’t impressive.
Kieran Janus has the brains, the foresight to recognize Sylvan Cheney as a gem.
That’s probably why he’s determined to keep Sylvan Cheney, at any cost, offering a high position and substantial rewards, even letting him marry his only daughter.
If a man might not be moved by beauty, he’ll certainly be swayed by wealth and supreme status.
Sylvan Cheney is no exception.
He’s inherently an ambitious man.
Jasmine Yale flipped through the papers again, saw multiple photos of Kieran Janus, but none of Sylvan Cheney.
Kieran Janus was brimming with confidence for this project!
Ha...
Jasmine Yale disliked the mutual exploitation and deceit in the business world; she always felt that staying long in such an environment changes a person.
After a long while, she closed the newspaper pages, tossed the large stack of papers back into the corner.
Sunlight slanted through the window, illuminating her clean face.
For a moment, her heart raced, and her mind flashed with thoughts, which gradually drifted away and became hazy.
Little Clementine’s cries came from next door.
The winter sunlight was still as warm as those winter days from the past.
