Did Anna and Wendy give you a deadline?”Jasper thought for a moment and inquired about the details. This was indeed a rare and potentially beneficial opportunity, although it seemed somewhat suspicious. It would be wise to gather more information before making a decision.Anna and Wendy informed Jasper that the Times shareholders' meeting was scheduled in approximately half a month. Randy intended to attend the meeting as a partner in the negotiations for mergers and acquisitions.With about half a month until the meeting, Jasper meticulously considered the timing of recent events. This was not a matter that could be resolved in a brief phone conversation. He knew he had to return to Somerland and have a face-to-face discussion with Wendy and Anna to determine the best course of action.However, he couldn't ignore the issues at hand in Qari. Resolving the problems with the Kurt family had to be his priority. Once he secured Qari's company, he could then proceed with peace of
“N-No…”Rowan did not know what Celine was planning.However, his previous painful experience told him that if Celine spoke to him with this expression, it would definitely be bad, so he decisively refused.How could Celine leave Rowan alone just like that? So, she chatted with him for a while.Soon, Rowan gradually lost himself under Celine’s flattery and almost revealed his entire dating history from childhood to adulthood.Finally, after the two finished chatting, Celine looked at Rowan with a dangerous light flashing in her eyes.A smile appeared on the little devil’s lips.‘Rowan, you probably don’t want your girlfriends to see you in a dress, but unfortunately, I want them to see it,’ Celine thought to herself.In the room, Jasper hung up the phone and smiled.He was right. Half-the-Harbor Langdon and his friends had indeed been secretly planning something in Harbor City recently.Many of Henry’s people were secretly contacted by people sent by Half-the-Harbor Langdon.
Then Jasper decided to call Wendy to tell her he was safe.As soon as Wendy heard Jasper’s voice, there was a panicked sound from the phone.It sounded as if something had fallen to the ground!“Oh no! I haven’t put on makeup yet!”A sweet squeal came from the phone.Just a moment later, an annoyed voice said again, “Oh, I forgot, we are on the phone, and you can’t see me anyway.”Her tone sounded as if she was annoyed by her embarrassing performance just now, but at the same time, it sounded as if she was upset that Jasper was not back yet.Jasper’s lips curved into a fond smile.Although the two had been dating for so long, Wendy still showed a childish side.The two of them started being lovey-dove to each other.During this period, Jasper had been concealing his identity and creating the illusion of being missing and killed. To prevent the secret from being exposed, he avoided contact with his family in Somerland.The two of them rarely talked on the phone.Now that the
Wendy and Anna’s plan completely shocked Jasper.After some appeasing, Wendy reluctantly hung up the phone.Now, Jasper was wondering if Rowan had said anything more to Wendy.Thinking of this, Jasper silently gave up his plan of telling Rowan about Celine’s photo of him in a dress,‘Rowan, good luck,’ he thought to himself.After finishing the matter in Harbor City, Jasper began to reflect on what he had seen today.The information brought by the bearded man provided him with a new idea.He did not want to contact Abdul, the Kurt family’s opposition, at first.Originally, in his plan, Abdul and other oppositions were to distract Kimbra.However, after he knew Abdul’s identity, he suddenly felt that the original arrangement was a bit of an overkill for Abdul.“These days, Snow has got almost all the information on the top management of these processing plants through the information sent from Warwick.“But if I just rely on this information, it is still not enough. I need so
“Mr. Jasper, you are not joking with me, are you?”Abdul’s voice on the other end of the phone became serious.Jasper could even hear that he was shaking.“Yes, I’m being serious.“I met your captors, and they told me everything.”Abdul’s breathing started to become heavy.“Mr. Jasper, I need you to tell me the whole story. No matter what the outcome is, you will have my friendship.”Jasper’s lips curled into a smile, “I accidentally ran into the people who were looking for you, but because of a misunderstanding, they had some conflicts with me.“Then I used my identity as a member of the Elvis family to suppress them. After that, they told me everything to save their lives.“The person who is taking action against you now is indeed a member of the family, and it is indeed from your processing factory, but that person is not Kimbra.“On the contrary, Kimbra is trying to protect you because the people who want to take action against you also want Kimbra dead.“And if you show
Jasper smiled when he heard this.“The third option? I gave you two.”Abdul said seriously, “But you won’t be participating in the two options you told me.“I don’t think you told me so many things so suddenly to tell me other people’s stories, right?“So, there must be a third option.”Jasper smiled and nodded, “Mr. Abdul, you are very smart. Yes, you do have a third option.“That is to cooperate with me and seize control of all the processing plants owned by the Kurt family. Then, we’ll use this as a basis to mobilize internal forces and cooperate with the Elvis family to seize power and force the current patriarch to abdicate to regain Baltimore’s freedom.“However, doing this will mean that we have to face the mastermind behind your capture and Kimbra at the same time. It also means that you will have to break away from two influential forces simultaneously. Moreover, you will also have to transfer some of your interests to the Elvis family.“As for the first two options, n
“Abdul, can you tell me why you chose this before hearing my answer?”Although Jasper already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear what Abdul would say.“Mr. Jasper, do you know why, even though Kimbra has the support of a big family like the Rothschilds and has proven his ability, we are still looking forward to the return of Baltimore as the patriarch?”“Because of loyalty?”“No, loyalty is only part of it.”Abdul shook his head.“Because Baltimore has always known that he is from Qarii and is unwilling to betray the interests of his family or his country for personal gain.“And so does Robbins.“Perhaps that’s why they allowed Kimbra to seize power with Rothschild’s support.“This whole time, we are loyal not only to Baltimore but also to the family and country he represents.“If I now support another person with foreign forces behind him, even if he eventually overthrows Kimbra and returns the position of patriarch to Baltimore, the Kurt family will no longer be the K
“But now that a decision has been made, I believe I can know who this person is.” Abdul smiled. “I’m very curious who this brave person is; to snatch from right under the Rothschilds’ noses… “Logically speaking, Kimbra should not have succeeded in becoming the patriarch so easily had he planned this long ago.” Jasper smiled. “It’s Sahar. The man plotting against you is Elder Sahar.” “Him?” Despite already preparing himself for the worst, Abdul was still shocked to know it was Sahar.After all, Sahar was an esteemed elder of the Kurt family. His clan revered him. Abdul could not believe such a man would betray his whole clan. “His name never crossed my mind. I thought that Elder Sahar and I were on the same side, supporting Baltimore and ensuring the clan’s interests.“But it makes sense. Other than Kimbra, he’s the only one who can bribe those in power and frame me. He’s the only one who could send the guards after me.“He’s hidden himself too well. So well that I never su
