“Finance. I have the ability to destroy your company, Sena. This will be a lesson for you so you’ll know better than to offend me.”
After saying those words, Morrison fished out his phone and called his subordinates who had been on standby a long time ago.
“I want you to act immediately and strike Sena’s shares with full force!”
Morrison felt as though favonovel.com had transformed into a big boss like the ones in movies. He was about to crush Jasper to death and it would be done easily.
On the other end of the call, however, his subordinates made no reply even after a very long time.
“What are you doing, idiots? Why aren’t you responding?!” Morrison questioned furiously.
After some time, a voice rang out from the other end of the call. It was Morrison’s immediate superior, the general manager of Layman Investment Bank’s Investment Department.
“Morrison, are you abusing Layman Investment Bank’s power to retaliate against someone for your own private interest? Do you know the severity of the situation?”
As Morrison listened to the voice on the other end of the call, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. He was speculating about how his superior, Dom, had found out about this.
After taking a deep breath, Morrison lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Dom, this isn’t about my private interest. Sena shares a close relationship with Colossal, which isn’t conducive for our investment bank…”
“That’s enough, Morrison. Colossal Investments has issued a strict warning letter to Layman’s higher-ups, so from now on, you’re not allowed to touch Sena. Do you hear me?” Dom had no time to listen to Morrison’s explanation and cut favonovel.com off straight away.
Morrison’s countenance changed as favonovel.com said incredulously, “How is that possible? How does Colossal know about my plans? And why would they threaten Layman for Sena’s sake? Aren’t they afraid that a war will break out between the two investment banks?”
Dom smiled and said in a meaningful manner, “Do you really think the old birds on the board of directors can’t figure out your plans?
“How could Colossal and Layman possibly start a war over something so trivial? This is just a warning from Colossal. Layman isn’t going to offend Colossal for something this trivial, okay?
“I don’t know why you’re going against Sena nor do I care about the techniques and force you’re resorting to, but there’s one thing you need to know and that is Layman will not get involved in this. This is something that both higher-ups in Colossal and Layman have agreed upon.”
Dom hung up the call after saying those words.
Faced with the crowd, Morrison held the phone that had been beeping a long time ago and glared resentfully at Jasper while hissing. “Are you behind this?”
Although Jasper had no idea what Morrison and the man on the other end of the call had talked about, favonovel.com could roughly guess that Paulson had stepped in and brought this issue forward to Layman.
In cases like that, results were usually seen soon enough.
Colossal merely gave Layman a warning this time. This was no big deal, but if Layman ignored Colossal’s warning and did things their own way, it would be a huge move of disrespect to Colossal, the world’s best investment bank. They would surely not let this matter drop so easily.
Layman’s higher-ups were probably aware of this, hence they refused to offend Colossal for something that would not even benefit them in any way.
Therefore, Morrison’s plans naturally fell through.
One could imagine how aggrieved and ashamed Morrison must be feeling now that his plans had fallen through before favonovel.com could even unleash his power.
“That’s it?”
Henry guffawed, failing to hold back his laughter. He said hilariously, “I thought you were going to throw some kind of a grenade, perhaps a massive one, but you f*cking pulled out the smallest card in the deck. This is so darn hilarious. Is this the IQ of all trust fund babies in the United States?”
As if pouring gasoline into a blazing fire, Henry’s words turned Morrison’s face crimson and almost drove favonovel.com crazy.
“You’re simply despicable, Jasper! I can’t believe you resorted to dirty tricks behind my back!” Morrison roared.
Jasper frowned slightly. “Is this guy a fool?”
