Nicolas paused a little. “Who is he?”

Jasmine explained. “His name is Harvey. He’s the famous little tyrant of Ranard. He just returned home a while back.

“He has wide connections and a deep background–we can’t afford to offend him. But if we get on his good side, we can pretty much do whatever we want in Ranard.”

Nicolas’s heart stirred at that. “Aren’t you short on funds for the company right now?” Jasmine added.

She continued, “If Harvey’s willing to help, getting the bank to lend you money would be just a word from him.”

Nicolas was instantly eager. Darren, listening in, couldn’t help exclaiming, “He’s that powerful at such a young age?”

“Guess he just lucked out with a good family,” Jasmine sniffed lightly, a hint

jealousy and disdain in her tone.

Harvey was the only son of the Crawford family. His father was a high–ranking official in Ranard, his mother an

academician.

The Crawfords were a prestigious military family, and his mother’s side was a family of lawyers. This powerful combination made Harvey no ordinary person.

Unlike Jasmine, who, despite being a daughter of the Ingrams, had the family’s wealth and business all in Gordon’s branch. Her branch, the second one, only got scraps from the main branch.

Jasmine had clawed her way up, becoming a female captain, and finally gained some standing in the Ingram family. But it wasn’t enough. A female captain was just a title with no real wealth.

So she needed to hold onto Nicolas. Mayer Technology was a legend in the tech world, growing from a small company to a listed one in three years.

Its future success could even surpass the Ingram Group, which gave Jasmine hope. If she could be by Nicolas’s side, no one in the Ingram family would look down on her again.

With that thought, Jasmine took Nicolas’s arm and led him over to greet Gordon. Darren followed, grinning. “Maybe Mr. Crawford will take a liking to me and be my friend.”

Jasmine smiled slightly but inwardly sneered. ‘Darren’s just Nicolas’s poor buddy. If it weren’t for Nicolas giving him business and money, he’d still be a mechanic.

How ridiculous that he thinks he can be friends with Harvey‘

Soon, the three reached the private room Gordon and Harvey had entered. “Uncle, I saw you and Mr. Crawford here, so I brought Nicolas and his friend to say hello,” Jasmine said, smiling.

“Jasmine,” Gordon smiled. “Mr. Crawford, this is my niece I mentioned. She’s Cloud Airlines‘ first female captain. Maybe one day you’ll fly with her at the controls”

Others chimed in with praise. “Ms. Ingram is amazing, being Cloud Airlines‘ first female captain.”

“An Ingram daughter is no ordinary woman,” another agreed.

Jasmine relished the compliments. It was the best reward for all the hard work she had put into becoming a captain.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Jasmine said, feigning modesty. “I just got lucky to be Cloud Airlines‘ first female captain.”

“You really were lucky, a lazy voice spoke up. Harvey fixed his gaze on Jasmine. “I heard when you were just a regular pilot,

Thankfully, Nicolas spoke up to break the situation. “Mr. Crawford, I’m Nicolas from Mayer Technology. It’s a pleasure to meet you today.”

Gordon quickly joined in, “Mr. Crawford, you just got back, so you might not know. Nicolas is a rising star in the tech world. His company went from small to listed in three years.”

“I hope we have the chance to exchange ideas more in the future, perhaps even collaborate,” Nicolas added.

“Mr. Mayer is young and accomplished. There will definitely be chances to cooperate with Mr. Crawford,” Gordon said.

Gordon figured since Jasmine was on good terms with Nicolas, helping him would benefit the Ingram family too.

“Young and accomplished?” Harvey scoffed. “Mr. Ingram, are you joking? You’re calling a man who cheats on his wife accomplished?”

Instantly, everyone’s expressions changed. All eyes turned to Jasmine and Nicolas.

After all, the story of Anica and Violette framing Zoya at the party–so Nicolas could divorce her and be with Jasmine–had spread all over the circle.

Nicolas’s and Jasmine’s faces turned bright red, Gordon hurried to say, “It’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Crawford. Totally a misunderstanding”

“Yeah, Jasmine and I are just friends,” Nicolas echoed.
