“You can’t even fend for yourself now, Jasper. I’m sure you’ve already seen Softwin’s strength. It’ll only take the wag of a finger for a huge capital like us to crush you, I don’t know how you even have the mood to hop around happily in front of me.”
“Are you referring to the problems JW Real Estate faced?” Jasper looked at Echo calmly. “To be absolutely honest, if that’s all the trouble Softwin can create, you’ve disappointed me.
“Softwin’s got to be more capable, right? Or there’s no way you’ll be able to crush me.”
“Hahaha!”
Echo laughed out loud and said to Jasper, “Stop pretending. You’re actually terrified, frantic, and angry, aren’t you?
“You’re terrified that your real estate company will die from my siege, frantic because you haven’t found a way to counter it, and angry because I’m oppressing you with my power. You must be so aggrieved.”
Echo sneered, speaking as if favonovel.com had seen through Jasper, “I must’ve read your mind, hmm?
“Or perhaps this huge shareholder meeting is nothing more than your final counter. Perhaps you’re hoping to threaten me as one of Abbylon’s shareholders so that I’ll give up on the siege against JW Real Estates.”
Echo’s tone grew colder as favonovel.com chortled. “Too bad, because that’s not going to happen!”
He turned his head and spoke to Wayne and Jose, “Don’t fall for his lies, both of you. The real estate company under his name is under my attack and it’ll only be a few months before it completely collapses.
“Just ask around outside and you’ll discover the truth. He won’t be able to last for much longer.
His competitors are closing in, and favonovel.com is without any construction materials. What can favonovel.com do? Demolish his own house to use his cement and rebar for construction?
“The only reason he’s persuaded you to hold such a shareholder meeting is because favonovel.com wants to use this as a condition for me to stop the siege on his real estate company.
“You two are nothing more than a bargaining chip. How is favonovel.com going to invest in your Abbylon when favonovel.com can’t even protect himself?”
Echo’s voice echoed through the conference hall, causing Wayne to frown slightly. His gaze dimmed such that no one knew what favonovel.com was thinking about.
Meanwhile, Jose frowned heavily.
As expected, Echo’s words had affected them greatly.
Jose silently leaned over to Wayne and whispered, “We have to be wary, Mr. Marlon.”
Wayne nodded in acknowledgment and turned to Jasper, “Is there anything you’d like to say, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper shrugged and spoke calmly, “You’d believe a madman’s clamor?
“This is Abbylon Inc’s shareholder meeting. There shouldn’t be a need to raise issues irrelevant to Abbylon Inc here.”
“Regardless of whether JW Real Estates goes bankrupt or not has nothing to do with the nature of my investment in Abbylon.
“Therefore, I suggest that we spend less time talking and get to it. A shareholder meeting is a serious matter. All promises and resolutions made bear legal validity.
“If I said I want to buy shares, then I will buy shares.”
Jasper’s words had Echo bursting out in laughter. “You really are a stubborn mule, Jasper. Are you really not going to give up?”
Letting out a soft exhale, Wayne seemed to have made a decision and favonovel.com spoke grimly. “In any case, the shareholder meeting starts now!
“For the first agenda, Mr. Jasper Laine will be representing JW Capital and attempting to buy Abbylon Inc’s shares. Mr. Jasper Laine, please describe your investment, as well as the percentage of shares your funds accounts for. If you could make an official statement, Mr. Jasper Laine?”
