"Take a taxi to Jodence Villa District yourself! Call me when you get there," Penelope said calmly.
"I don't have money to take a taxi. I'll go wherever you go, otherwise we won't have to talk." Jasper thought he only have two dollars, so he went to her house just to have dinner and she wanted him to take a taxi? Isn't that a joke?
"You scoundrel!" Penelope suddenly frowned and felt she really thought highly of him just now. To be honest, he were still waiting for the opportunity to contact her.
"Yes! Not only did I take your car when I went there, but it was the same when I came back. I don't have any money," Jasper emphasized again.
Penelope was a little angry at first, but then she laughed. If Jasper only asked for these, why should she not cooperate?
"Okay, let's go together. My car will be here soon." Penelope returned to her previous expression at this time.
"Jasper, actually this kind of thing is not uncommon. What you have to do now is to complete your studies. You haven't had classes this year. Spending more time studying will be good for you in the future." It was Tyler who spoke. It was considered to be Jasper in advance.
"Thank you, I think so too." Jasper nodded slightly.
The two of them had not been waiting long at the gate when a red seven-series carriage drove over. The driver was butler Bill Watson.
Although Jasper had never ridden in such a high-end car, he didn't have any expression of surprise. After all, these things were external to Jasper.
Penelope and Jasper didn't say much in the car. As the car moved forward quickly, an hour later the car stopped outside a villa area, which was the Jodence Villa District.
The buildings, greenery, and people coming in and out are all extraordinary and represent the upper class.
Penelope's home is a three-story villa. The courtyard is full of greenery, with small rockeries and pavilions, which makes people feel very comfortable.
Although Jasper understood that the environment here was man-made, he also felt very comfortable.
Bill did not follow, and Jasper followed Penelope directly into the villa. Gavin Summer is Penelope's father, and Ella Wilkins is Penelope's mother. They are both at home.
"You are Jasper! Come in!" Gavin happened to be across from Jasper and welcomed him politely.
"Hello, uncle! I came in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. Please don't mind, uncle." Jasper met Gavin once a few years ago, so they get along well.
"Never mind. We don't need anything. Let's drink tea inside." Gavin said with a smile.
"Thank you, uncle!" Jasper hurriedly thanked him and followed Gavin into the teahouse.
"Is this Jasper? I can't even recognize you." At this time, a middle-aged woman came over, who was Penelope's mother.
"Hello, aunt! I'm Jasper, I'm causing you trouble." Jasper stood up quickly.
"Don't say that, sit down please." Ella was also very polite.
"Thank you!" Jasper continued to express his thanks.
"I think you already know why we invite you to our home this time! We won't delay you for long. You can go back to school after we finish talking," Ella said calmly.
When Jasper hearing that, he was a little unhappy and thought, "I'm already here, why don't I have dinner? Otherwise, what would I be doing here?"
"Auntie, you said there's no rush, but to be honest, I'm still hungry," Jasper said directly.
"Jasper, just a few words. I will send you back after finish it. I won't delay your return to school for dinner." Ella looked down on Jasper from her heart. Although she didn't say it directly, there was this meaning in her words and deeds.
Jasper understood what his aunt meant very well, but the more this happened, the more Jasper wanted to eat there and deliberately made his aunt angry.
"Auntie, are you afraid that I will eat here? If I had known that, I would came here after eating dinner," Jasper said with a smile.
After hearing Jasper's words, Ella's face turned red instantly, and she thought that Jasper were really shameless." You know that I don't want you to eat here, but you still said that. I won't let you eat here today. What can you do?"
"Let's talk about something! Just a few words," Ella said lightly, still ignoring Jasper's words.
At this time, Gavin was a little unhappy and thought that other people would laugh at us.
"Jasper! There's no need to talk about the matter in a hurry. I'll immediately order the people below to cook, and we'll talk about other things after the meal," Gavin said calmly.
"Thank you, uncle!" Jasper smiled and nodded, knowing that the meal was in order.
"Okay! Okay, let's eat first." Ella rolled her eyes at Jasper and said while biting her back teeth.
"Mom, Why don't you go downstairs and get the meal ready?" Penelope didn't expect her mother to be so unkind to Jasper, for fear of offending Jasper and spoiling the matter.
Ella also realized this and left directly.
Jasper didn't feel any embarrassment and began to taste the tea slowly at this moment, but this tea really didn't taste good to Jasper, and he lost interest after drinking two cups.
The scene was awkward and there was nothing to talk about. But, Gavin was the head of the family after all, and he also talked about some things about Jasper and began to teach Jasper to take the right path and catch up with his studies. Jasper could only nod his head frequently and said nothing more to Gavin's words.
At this moment, a man about thirty years old, wearing a brand name, hurriedly walked outside the door. This man looked sweaty and a little embarrassed.
"Aunt! Aunt!" the man started shouting as soon as he entered the door.
Gavin frowned immediately after hearing this voice, obviously knowing who was there.
"Mason, what are you yelling about? How many times have I told you? This is home, not a busy streets!" Gavin said coldly.
Hearing Gavin's angry voice, Mason immediately closed his mouth and cautiously arrived at the teahouse.
"Mason is here!" At this time Ella walked out.
"Aunt, uncle, please come up with a solution for me! I'm really desperate. The Steph Gang sealed off my repair shop and injured several of my workers. I haven't been able to open for half a month, but there are a lot of luxury cars inside.
If this continues, I will lose all." When Mason said this, he felt like he wanted to cry without tears!
"Haven't the Steph Gang left yet? I asked Mark to do it before," Ella suddenly frowned.
"Mark? Mark is behind! Let him talk to you!" When he mentioned Mark, Mason suddenly stopped talking.
At this moment, an unkempt man walked in the door, it was Mark. This appearance made everyone stunned.
The reason was that the circle under Mark's eyes were dark, the left side of his face was scratched, and there was blood on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had just been tortured!
"Chairman, it's not good, it's not good!" Mark shouted after entering the door, and a tooth came out of his mouth as he spoke.
"Why are you like this? Tell me slowly, what happened between you and Steph Gang. How did it end up like this?" Gavin was speechless.
"I was almost beaten to death by these people. The Steph Gang people have already chased me to the door!" Mark burst into tears at this moment.
