Chapter 295 He’s ArrogantÂ

“When something happens, stay calm first. Think it through before you act.”Â
Emma immediately raised her hand.Â
“Does it mean I’ve been too nice to them, and now it’s time to just beat them up—”Â
“Heh!”Â
Before she could finish, a cold laugh came from the doorway.Â
Everyone turned to look. Emma frowned right away.Â
“Jasper?”Â
Bruises were still visible on Jasper’s face.Â
Even his smile looked twisted.Â
“What are you doing here?”Â
Emma went on alert immediately.Â
He never looked like a decent person.Â
Back at Dominic’s place, he’d already used violence.Â
To him, the law was just paper–nothing more.Â
So for safety’s sake, Emma stepped in front of Alice.Â

She was local. Her parents didn’t have Dominic’s influence, but their name carried weight.Â
If someone dared mess with her, the townspeople would tear them apart.Â
Seeing how tense Emma was, Jasper found it even more amusing.Â
“You should be nervous. Losing right at the end feels awful, doesn’t it?Â
“Heh, the Nolan Group? It means nothing to me.Â
“They’ve been throwing their weight around for years. Now they’re finally fallen. Serves them right.”Â

He sounded even more arrogant than before, dripping with sarcasm.Â
It was obvious that someone had coached him.Â
Emma clenched her teeth. “Jasper, are you a mad dog? Why barking everywhere?”Â
Jasper didn’t bother arguing with a girl. He looked straight at Eric.Â
“I heard the Nolan Group invested a lot in this project.Â
“What a shame. You didn’t get a single benefit.Â
“And that just proves that even if the Nolan Group is strong, it still doesn’t have public support.”Â
Something felt off to Alice.Â
She immediately took out her phone and checked the news.Â
The earlier livestream hadn’t caused much of a stir.Â
But afterward, someone had clearly started manipulating public opinion.Â
The Nolan Group’s image was now under attack.Â
Plenty of netizens already had jealousy issues. Now they went all in, tearing the company down.Â
Her inbox was full of emails from shareholders demanding explanations.Â
Alice didn’t open any of them.Â
They were all armchair strategists after the fact. Reading them wouldn’t change anything.Â
The top three trending topics were all about the Nolan Group.Â
The first two were about this project.Â
The third was hyping Michael as a rising star.Â
The article praised him as a genius–fresh out of college, already running projects and becoming a key figure.Â
Ruby even did an interview, proudly sharing her “parenting tips” when asked how she raisedÂ
such a son.Â

So the fourth trending topic turned into parenting.Â
Alice couldn’t help laughing when she saw it.Â
That mother and son really couldn’t wait.Â
Still, the article ended with a complaint. They tried to interview Oscar and got rejected.Â
He’d even said outright that he didn’t think Michael was outstanding.Â
People online were arguing about Oscar’s favoritism.Â
Overall, it was terrible for the Nolan Group.Â
The company’s stock price started fluctuating as well.Â
A lot of people began going after Alice and Eric.Â
Eric was fine. He barely appeared in public.Â
But Alice had a huge fan base.Â
Once the filter came off, those fans turned and attacked her instead.Â
Alice was speechless.Â
What a bunch of fake fans.Â
“If you came just to gloat, you picked the wrong moment.”Â
She put her phone away, and her gaze dropped–cool and sharp, like a blade.Â
Jasper felt his heart jolt.Â
Fear rushed up, and he actually stepped back.Â
Then he snapped out of it and found it ridiculous. Was he seriously afraid of a woman?Â
“If you hand the fashion department back, Mr. Michael will let you stay at the Nolan Group.Â
“And you should return the tech and project divisions as well.Â
“Alice, you bullied Ms. Linda before, right? Go apologize properly. If she forgives you, everyone is happy. Otherwise-”Â

Eric cut in impatiently, “Are you done?”Â
Jasper’s face was full of smug satisfaction.Â

“Can’t take a little jab? Mr. Eric, this kind of life is only going to happen more. You’d better get used to it.”Â
Alice glanced at her watch.Â
“Perfect timing. Let’s go watch the show.”Â
Emma’s eyesÂ
lit up.Â
“It’s already starting?”Â
That was perfect.Â
Clayton had been waiting for that and looked just as excited.Â
Truman had known from the start that this place couldn’t be developed recklessly, so he wasn’t surprised. He just found Jasper incredibly irritating.Â
This guy actually dared to ask Ms. Spencer to give up the entire project division!Â
He must be daydreaming!Â
Only then did Jasper realize he was being completely ignored.Â
Anger flared across his face.“You don’t know what’s good for you. Don’t blame me when-”Â
