Asher smiled modestly upon seeing Jasmine Moore and said, “Hello, Miss Jasmine. It’s nice to see you again. I appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to meet with me.”
Jasmine Moore returned the smile and replied, “You’re wee.”
She invited Asher to take a seat in the cozy sofa area while she took a seat across from him. Curiously, she asked, “I’m not sure why Mr. An hase to see me this time. What’s on your mind?”
Asher took a deep breath and exined, “At the Rejuvenation Pill Auction, Mr. An was a bit abrupt and broke some rules, which has left me feeling somewhat embarrassed. I came here today to apologize to you and to the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill.”
Jasmine smiled and responded, “There’s no need for Mr. An to make a special trip just to apologize. The auction has already addressed the situation, and you’ve paid the price for your actions. There’s no need for further apologies.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Asher silently smacked his lips, surprised by Jasmine’s straightforwardness. He noted that while she seemed eager to apologize, it also hinted at a certain humility, yet she didn’t allow herself to lower her head.
Deep down, Jasmine Moore held a deep respect for Asher. This respect stemmed not from his status as An’s eldest son, but rather from his position as Charlie’s uncle.
Jasmine felt a debt of gratitude toward Charlie, and naturally, she respected his elders. However, Charlie was not yet ready to acknowledge the An family, which made Jasmine cautious with Asher. She knew that if she appeared overly polite, he might sense something was off, especially given the circumstances of the previous auction.
At that moment, Asher felt he couldn’t express anger or displeasure, so he smiled and cautiously said, “Miss Jasmine, to be honest, Mr. An has always held the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill in high regard. During the meeting, my father was seriously ill and urgently needed effective medicine, which is why I acted impulsively. I hope you can help convey my apologies and seek his forgiveness.”
Jasmine smiled gently and replied, “Mr. An is overthinking this. Your breach of auction rules that day has nothing to do with him. It’s like traffic rules established by the traffic department; if you identally bump into someone while driving, you don’t report to the traffic department to apologize or seek forgiveness.”
Asher felt as if he were being kicked back to his original position repeatedly, like a football. Despite this, he mustered the courage to say, “Miss Jasmine, I’m being straightforward with you. I need to verify something with the owner of the Rejuvenation Pill in person. I hope you can introduce me. No matter the oue, the An family will always remember your kindness!”
Jasmine pursed her lips and said earnestly, “Mr. An, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but the gentleman you’re seeking has left Aurous Hill since thest auction.”
“Left Aurous Hill?” Asher quickly inquired, “Do you happen to know his name?”
Jasmine shook her head, “I’m afraid I don’t know.”
Asher questioned suspiciously, “Miss Jasmine, this gentleman is coborating with your Moore Group. You represented him at the auction for the Rejuvenation Pill and collected a significant amount of money from the sale. How can you not know his true identity? If you could just give me a hint or two, the An family would be deeply grateful!”
Jasmine replied, “Mr. An, I’m not at liberty to disclose his identity. The truth is, my Song family was fortunate to be chosen to organize the Huichun Pill auction for him. As for the auction proceeds, if I told you that the funds are still in the auction ount and he has never taken them out, would you believe me?” Asher fell silent at her words.<fn3c0c> Th?s chapter is updated by Find1Novel</fn3c0c>
