The 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 time easily resolved by Jasper.


    Having such a bodyguard around made the couple feel more at ease.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    "He''s just tired. A couple of days'' rest will do!"


    Nash did not want to worry them, so he casually made up an excuse.


    Harrison nodded. "Yes, it''s been a long time since he had a break, so let him rest properly for the next


    couple of days!"


    Hera ced a piece of meatball that was half eaten onto Nash''s te 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 fame and reputation, Nash knew that some audacious business rivals might target


    his family. Just a few days ago, a mentally ill person had gone to his parents-inw and sshed


    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 broli before asking


    vaguely, "By the way... is Jasper dating anyely?"


    Lauren and Harrison nced 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 asked me about Jasper!"


    Athena from the Publicity Department?


    A strange light shed 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


    rted 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 some dirty 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 nner 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 herpetitors either resigned or had very bad luck!"


    Hera looked at Nash in surprise and asked, "Is it simr to what happened with Yellow Crane?"


    "Heaven has its ownws, 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!


    he


    "Yellow Crane cultivates righteous virtues and follows thews of heaven. Upon achieving mastery,


    ascended to the immortal realm. Those who practice unorthodox methods will fall into the realm of


    ghosts and ultimately face divine punishment!"


    Nash exined, giving off an aura of a transcendent figure.


    "Hera, Hera, look..."


    Melody excitedly pulled Hera over to look at her phone. "Theunch of dwell has been moved up...


    The opening ceremony will be held tomorrow at 6:00 pm!"


    Hera''s eyes also lit up but soon dimmed again. "The vis at dwell are too expensive. Even the


    cheapest ones cost a billion!"


    The dwell project started two years ago. At that time, she had secretly made up her mind to earn


    money and buy a riverside vi in dwell.


    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 topete 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 ount


    for now.


    Lauren took out a ck 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?"
