Chapter 486: You Support My Car, and Me Too
"Zane Langdon, how could you be so petty? You left Rockwellburg without a word! I went looking for you, only to find out you’d already come to Jansburg! You’re not even answering my calls. What is wrong with you?"
Melody Monroe looked at Jasper Rockwell, then back at Zane Langdon. The way Jasper was acting right now, he looked like a jilted wife.
She was completely bewildered. ’Didn’t Zane know Jasper was coming?’
’And he left Rockwellburg without even saying goodbye?’
’Zane didn’t even attend the celebration banquet. What’s going on? What happened between them?’
"You’re the third young master of the Rockwell Family. With a status like that, I’m not worthy of having you as my personal assistant."
"It’s not like you’re the one paying my salary. I was assigned by President Fairchild, so you don’t have the right to accept or refuse me. I’m going to be your personal assistant, and that’s final."
"There’s really no need for you to lower yourself like this."
"I’m not lowering myself! In fact, I should be thanking President Fairchild for giving me a job. Otherwise, I might get disowned by my family! So please, do me a favor. Just think of it as taking me in, okay?"
"It’s true I’m the third young master of the Rockwell Family, but look how poor and destitute I am! If you don’t let me be your personal assistant, what am I going to do? Where will I get the money to maintain my car? I might end up sleeping under an overpass."
Melody Monroe furrowed her brow. ’Is he really that miserable?’
"Zane Langdon, if you refuse me, you’ll be cutting off my only means of survival! In that case, you can pay for my car, and you can pay for me too!"
"Jasper Rockwell!" Zane snapped, not wanting to hear another word.
"What? Am I wrong? I can’t even get into the Rockwell Family home anymore except on special occasions. If you don’t let me be your personal assistant, I’ll just stick to you like glue!"
"If you want to be the personal assistant, then just keep doing it." Zane was simply powerless to fend him off. Jasper Rockwell was an absolute scoundrel!
He’d never met a man who acted so much like a woman as Jasper Rockwell did.
Sean Coleman hadn’t known why Zane Langdon had suddenly decided he didn’t want Jasper Rockwell as his personal assistant anymore, even asking him to speak to President Fairchild about it. Zane’s attitude had been incredibly firm.
He had been worried that his words wouldn’t carry any weight.
After all, Jasper Rockwell was the third young master of the Rockwell Family. The Rockwell and Fairchild families were on excellent terms, so President Fairchild and Jasper must have had a very good private relationship as well.
It had been a difficult problem for him.
But now, the problem had solved itself.

Melody Monroe checked the time. They’d been waiting for a while; Keith Coleman should be arriving soon.
"Why don’t we have them bring out the food? Keith Coleman should be here any minute."
"Yes, yes, let’s get the food! I’m starving," Jasper Rockwell said immediately.
Talia Mercer went to ask the waiter to bring the food. Just as she sat back down, Keith Coleman walked in.
"Holy shit! What’s with this look? Did you just come from a mummy movie set? Why didn’t you take off the props before you came?" Jasper Rockwell couldn’t help but tease him the moment he saw him.
His comment made everyone in the room burst out laughing.
Even Zane Langdon had a flicker of amusement in his eyes.
"Are you blind? This is a fracture! What mummy!" Keith Coleman shot Jasper Rockwell a glare and sat down in the only empty seat.
"Bro, you’re really something else. Both arms broken? Can you even manage on your own like this?"
"Yes!" Keith Coleman glared fiercely at Jasper Rockwell. ’He really knows how to hit a sore spot!’
"How did this even happen? It’s pretty impressive to get injured this badly! Tell me, how are you supposed to play video games like this? And here I was, thinking that since we’re all together again, we could go play whenever we had free time!"
"I can still play, it’s not as bad as you think!" Keith Coleman immediately clarified. "You don’t believe me? I’ll issue a challenge right now. We can go PK and see whose combat power is higher."
