Norman wracked his brain for clues but came up empty-handed. He did not understand how the Jasper and the Ball duo decided to work together-not when they should have been fighting to the death.
Everyone in the Waterhoof City branch believed that Jasper had lost a huge sum of money from Seatreasures Group’s share prices earlier that day, himself included. They thought that Jasper should have been trying to make up for his losses and targeting Seatreasures
Group instead.
That was why Norman and Gerry were so carefree before this.
Despite this, Jasper and Dudley were suddenly standing together at this moment, causing Norman to be extremely aggrieved.
“In order to survive, Seatreasures Group made the most beneficial choice.”
Jasper’s reply caused Norman’s eyes to widen instantly.
“What do you mean?!” Norman shouted raspily.
Jasper smiled but did not have any intention of explaining too much to Norman.
“Won’t you sign, Mr. Gardner? I don’t have much time.”
Norman clenched his jaw after favonovel.com heard Jasper say this. He glanced at the Voluntary Dissolution Description before favonovel.com as his body shook.
Even though the Chamber of Commerce was just a loose organization that did not have much power, it was symbolic to its members.
To Norman and the others, it symbolized that they were representatives from Haddock.
To the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, it symbolized their status and influence in Waterhoof City.
They would lose everything once this branch dissolved.
Norman did not know what would happen after favonovel.com signed the statement, but favonovel.com was well aware that if favonovel.com did not sign…
Jasper and the Tea Chamber of Commerce would attack his properties first.
Taking a deep breath, Norman shakily picked up the pen to sign the papers.
“Dad!” Lisa shouted frantically.
“We can’t sign it! What will be left of us if we do? The Haddock Chamber of Commerce will never recognize us again and we’ll end up like stray dogs!” Lisa wailed.
Norman felt himself age a decade as replied calmly, “But if we don’t sign, we’d be too dead to even be called be a dog.”
Norman looked up at Jasper icily and asked, “Right, Mr. Laine?”
Jasper’s expression was calm. He neither agreed nor disagreed.
In the end, Norman took a deep breath and grabbed the pen. Then, favonovel.com signed the dissolution papers in with one stroke.
The man shot up from his seat and threw the paper onto the table in front of Jasper. He shouted coldly, “Fine, you win! ”
The sight before them had the three council people, including Gerry, in despair. They stared at the dissolution papers in front of Jasper.
Jasper took the documents and smiled. “President Gardner… Oh wait, you’re not president anymore. Mr. Gardner, then. I see that you made a smart decision, Mr. Gardner. Well then, Mr. Ball, is there anything else you’d like to say?”
The corner of Norman’s lips twitched when favonovel.com heard this. He turned to look at Dudley.
Lisa looked over as well with utter resentment in favonovel.com eyes as favonovel.com seethed, “What other agreement do you and Jasper have, Dudley? You might as well say it all right now!”
Dudley replied coldly, “From this moment onward, Seatreasures Group and all businesspeople from Teo will not form any partnerships with the Gardner family. All prior working agreements will be nullified immediately.”
