“Were you the one who caused Zoni to plummet ten minutes after the trading commenced?”Hugh’s furious roars caused everyone’s expressions to change.“Zoni? The one where Lantern Capital is the dealer and has the main holding shares?”“I heard in order to make back the 50 million loss, Hugh put all of his money in it.”“How could it have plummeted? Even though Zoni doesn’t have a huge market, it’s impossible to control the price without a few billion dollars.”“My gosh, they’re seriously taking drastic measures to deal with a situation.”The crowd who did not dare to speak because of Hugh were now like cats on a hot tin roof. All of their expressions started to change.Suddenly, John was no longer panicking in the crowd.He even took out a cigarette and lighted it before taking a puff happily.Looking at the crowd around the table who were overwhelmed with shock, horror, or amazement, John suddenly wanted to laugh. He wanted to laugh at all of them.These people had no idea ho

“Are you Hugh Lewis?”The leader of the team asked Hugh sternly.Hugh looked at him in panic and looked at the corridor. He realized that the men he brought with him were nowhere to be seen.Ineffably, Hugh’s expression turned horrible as if a crisis was going to fall on him anytime.“I’m asking you if you’re Hugh Lewis!” the officer yelled.“Y-Yes,” Hugh answered with difficulty.He knew if these people were able to show up in front of him, then they must already have concrete proof of his crimes.“Hugh Lewis, we have sufficient proof to suspect that you’re involved in illegal fundraising and manipulating the stock prices in the dark. This is your summon. Please come with me,” the officer said in a deep voice.Hugh gritted his teeth tightly and looked at Jasper with rancor. He growled, saying, “Did you arrange all these?”Jasper said indifferently, “You’ve broken the law, so you were simply asking for this.”Hugh roared, “If it weren’t for you, how would it be possible for t

Everyone on the table flushed red when they heard what John said. None of them dared to refute him.“Jasper, you’ll die a horrible death!”When he thought about how his high position and great wealth would end here today and what would be waiting for him was jail time, Hugh completely lost his mind.He pounced at Jasper like a mad dog and looked as if he wanted badly to drag Jasper down with him.However, Jasper stood in his spot without moving. It was because the officers at one side who had been waiting and eyeing covetously instantly tackled Hugh to the floor.“Take him away!” The leader waved his hand, and hence, Hugh was brought away while he yelled and cursed continuously.As Hugh’s voice got further and further away, the officer shook hands with Jasper and said, “No matter what, thanks for your information. If not, we wouldn’t have been able to capture him so easily.”“As a citizen, I should cooperate and help out,” Jasper said with a smile.The officer displayed a smi

“Mr. Laine, Hugh is emphatic and domineering, so we all had sorrows that we couldn’t voice out. Now that the villain has got his punishment, we’ll definitely be well-behaved.”Someone stood up and said with a grin.His words got the approval of a lot of people.Jasper did not want to bother himself with whether this man was being sincere or not.The pond of this city was too small to accommodate his growth and development. These people would be destined to live in a different world than him in the future.“Go now.”Jasper waved his hand and left the room with John.At the hotel lobby, Jasper asked John, “Do you need me to find someone to ask about your loan kerfuffle?”John said quickly, “No need. It was difficult back then because Hugh was watching me. Now that he’s been defeated, I have a great chance to get away with this. I’ve been working in this industry for so many years and there will be some older higher-ups who appreciate me. Plus, this was a trap, after all and I a

“Are you planning to advance into the entertainment industry?” Wendy asked as she was sharp and could sense Jasper’s intention.As for the last sentence, Wendy ignored it automatically. She was used to this guy spewing nonsense occasionally, so she would treat it as if she had not heard him.“The entertainment business is full of potential,” Jasper said. When he saw Wendy trying to say something but stopping herself, he asked, “You don’t agree with me?”Wendy sat down and said, “No, I’ll always support your decisions. However, I’m just worried that we have too much on our plate. On one hand, JW Capital is doing investment, and on the other hand, we’re doing real estate too. Would it be a little too much if we venture into the entertainment industry as well?”Wendy’s concern was reasonable. Some of the companies that were flourishing in one industry would be unable to recover after a minor hitch when they went onto the so-called path of diversification.An example in another countr

“I’ll definitely let a professional be the one to manage the overall system. However, aside from my parents and you, I won’t trust anyone to be in charge of the finances.”Wendy grunted softly. She was enjoying the fact that Jasper was trusting her as much as he trusted his parents, but instead, she said, “I’ll steal all of your money when you’re not watching!”“Whatever is mine belongs to you too,” Jasper said with a smile.A faint red tinge appeared on Wendy’s face.“Wendy, come, I’ve made chicken soup for you. Drink it while it’s hot. They brought me an old hen from the hometown and it’s good for you.”At this moment, Sally walked over with a bowl of soup.Wendy quickly went over to take it from her.“Thank you, Sally,” Wendy said sweetly.Her mother passed away when she was young, so she and Dawson had been interdependent this entire time. Even though Dawson spoiled her like she was a treasure, he was still a man and was always busy with work. Aside from materialistic thi

Wendy put her arms around Dawson’s neck and said coquettishly, “Dad, you’re the best.”Dawson patted the back of Wendy's hands, which were crossed in front of his body, and said, "You’re my one and only daughter. Who else would I do all of this for, if not you?” "The shares of JW Real Estates are already in your name. In the future, I’ll entrust the management team of the entire real estate company to you."Is this appropriate though?" Wendy betrayed some hesitation."I’m giving it to you as a gift, so of course it’s appropriate. Jasper’s a smart man, he understands my intentions."Dawson pondered for a moment, then continued, “Jasper is an outstanding young man. His future won’t be limited to just this province. The entire country, or an even larger stage—that’s where he should go."I want to seize the opportunity now to arrange a large dowry for you so that no matter where Jasper ends up in the future, you will always have sufficient authority to speak up."Wendy frowned and

Despite many days of not seeing each other, they were largely the same people.“Please extend my gratitude to the old master on my behalf,” Jasper said sincerely to Anna.Although it were the Laws who had asked for him, they had treated him with enough respect in all aspects regardless. Jasper was not one to have an exaggerated opinion of his own ability. He respected Old Master Law, and his words were spoken from the heart.“You should convey this to the old master yourself,” Anna said with a smile. “Alright, Little Sis. You’ve picked up the man, I’m leaving now.” Henry took the opportunity to say this just as Jasper was getting into the car. Anna furrowed her brows and said, “Grandfather wants to invite Jasper for dinner at home tonight. Where are you running off to?”“Oh shucks, Grandfather also knows that I don’t fancy these kinds of occasions. I’ve already made an appointment with a friend, so I’ll be going off first.”As Henry finished saying this, he sped off in a hur
