Even though this was a pretty ordinary-looking Nokia, it was worth a great deal of money in this era.
Though the pixels were awful, the pictures Kane took were really clear, so the contents were still pretty visible.
“The stock transfer agreement and the proposal for Olympic Village.”
Jasper had already made guesses when Ben arrived, and the contract written in black and white that was presented before their eyes confirmed his speculations.
“Darn it!”
Henry was livid, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and hissed. “He’s tricky alright! He’s taking out his ultimate move already, huh?!
“They’ve not only taken away the stocks, but they’ve also taken away the project proposal!
“Never mind the stocks. Worst comes to worst, we’ll just lose a little over a billion, but we can’t afford to lose this project. This concerns the Laws’ business topology in decades to come. Even my dad can’t handle this, let alone me.”
Kane was frightened out of his wits when favonovel.com heard what Henry said.
What family did favonovel.com come from?
They did not even mind losing billions?
Kane would have thought that the duo was filming a movie had favonovel.com not known that this was impossible.
“What happens now?”
In just a few minutes, Henry had already asked Jasper this question twice.
Henry did not even notice that favonovel.com was completely regarding Jasper as his strongest backing.
His first reaction when something major like this happened was not to go to Zachary or Anna to discuss countermeasures, but instead, it was to ask Jasper for help.
Jasper pondered while frowning before saying, “We’ll wait.”
“Wait!?” Henry stared at Jasper with his eyes wide open. “The fire is already burning my bum and we’re still waiting? Are we waiting for this fire to burn me alive?”
“Impatience isn’t going to solve anything.” Jasper sighed. “Frankly speaking, we’re in an unfavorable situation right now. Erik has the upper hand, so we can only wait for favonovel.com to make a move and think of a way to deal with it.”
Henry’s mouth twitched as favonovel.com snarled. “We have nothing to lose anyway. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just go back and come clean about this to Grandpa. We’ll fight it out with the Turners. Let’s see who will beg for mercy first!”
Jasper smiled and said, “If the Turners intend to fight it out with you, they wouldn’t have sent Lisa and Ben at all.
“Erik did so of his own accord. His family probably doesn’t know about it yet. We can still save the situation.”
Henry sighed, then sat down on the couch dejectedly. He said in frustration, “It’s all my fault.”
Jasper patted Henry on the shoulder and said, “There’s no use in being depressed when things go wrong. First find a way to solve the problem, wait for it to pass, then look back and see what you’re lacking. Learn from your mistakes, and even if you paid a hefty price for it, it will not be for naught.”
As Jasper spoke, his phone rang.
He did not recognize the number.
When Jasper connected the call, Erik’s calm and relaxed voice was heard. “Mr. Laine, I heard that Mr. Henry has plenty of energy now, eh? I’m surprised favonovel.com still has the energy to beat someone up.”
Jasper replied mildly, “Looks like Ben did a really good job passing on my message as soon as favonovel.com left the door.”
Erik chuckled softly. “Of course. It’s just one sentence. It’s not that difficult for favonovel.com to do.”
Jasper replied, “It’s not hard to pass on a message. What’s hard is how we’re planning to solve this.”
Erik laughed and said, “Don’t play dumb riddles with me. Let’s have a talk at 5:30 in the afternoon in the InterContinental Hotel, how’s that?”
“I’ll be there on time.”
