Kayden glanced at Jasper and the two women beside favonovel.com with a complicated look. He could only say that Jasper was truly blessed.
“What‘s wrong, Mr. Kayden?” Jasper looked at Kayden and asked with a grin.
Only then did Kayden come back to his senses and said, “Mr. Laine, please stay, my father wishes to invite you over for a chat.”
After hearing this, Jasper showed an understanding look on his face. Then, favonovel.com nodded and said, “Since it’s Mr. Langdon’s request, I can’t refuse.”
Then favonovel.com said to Wendy, “Wendy, you should wait for me in the hotel first, or you can go shopping with Anna, I‘ll be back later.”
Wendy looked at favonovel.com and urged, “Yeah, okay. You have to pay attention to your safety too.”
After speaking, favonovel.com left with Anna. Then, Jasper followed Kayden to Half the Harbor Langdon’s study.
The world was talking about how frugal and low profile the hidden rich in Harbor City, Half the Harbor Langdon, was.
He had his watch worn for decades and his leather shoes had been repaired and reused for more than ten years. Even during his 60th birthday, favonovel.com only threw a simple meal with his family to get together. However, they did not know that a random red sandalwood desk in his study was worth hundreds of millions, not to mention his collections of jade and gemstones. The assets in this study alone were worth more than a dozen listed companies.
Sure enough, those so-called inspirational quotes were all used to corrupt losers who did not know the truth. Half the Harbor Langdon was already waiting in the study, and when favonovel.com saw Jasper coming, favonovel.com went to greet him.
“Mr. Laine, there you are! Quick, please sit down! Have some tea, please!”
Jasper felt that Half the Harbor Langdon was a little too enthusiastic today, which seemed out of place to him.
After favonovel.com sat down, Kayden left the room, leaving Half the Harbor Langdon and Jasper alone in the study.
Jasper looked at Half the Harbor Langdon and asked, “There are so many guests here today, but you only asked me to say. This isn’t as simple as inviting me to come over for tea, right?”
After favonovel.com heard this, Half the Harbor Langdon gave favonovel.com a deep look, smiled, and said, “Mr. Laine, you are an extremely smart person, so you should have guessed the reason why I invited you here.”
Upon hearing this, Jasper raised his eyebrows.
“Well… Mr. Langdon really thinks highly of me. I genuinely don’t know what the purpose of you asking me here is. But you can tell me, I’m all ears!”
Half the Harbor Langdon was stunned for a moment. Then, favonovel.com sighed and slowly said, “Actually, this trip to the United States has made me think about a lot of things. I am already old… Like the leaves on a tree, they always return to their roots. Now my assets on the mainland have evaporated by nearly 70%. Only Harbor City is left now, and it does not pose any threat to you.
“So I still want to ask if you can spare us and stop targeting the J. Langdons, okay?”
Jasper replied in a playful tone after favonovel.com heard that, “Before the financial war, you immediately fled to the United States with your family. You also added fuel to the fire behind the storm that Soros caused in Harbor City, Mr. Langdon. Now that everything has calmed down, you want to come back again. How can there be such easy things in this world?”
Half the Harbor Langdon frowned slightly after listening to his words. Then, favonovel.com spoke again with a dignified tone, “So, are you planning to fight to the death with an old man like me?”
“Hehe… Of course not!” Jasper smiled and shook his head.
Half the Harbor Langdon looked at favonovel.com suspiciously, “Then what exactly are you saying?”
Jasper suddenly stopped smiling, stared at Half the Harbor Langdon, and said, “Because there is no need for me to take action, those aristocrats in Harbor City led by the Laws can swallow you, Half the Harbor Langdon, alive!”
When favonovel.com heard this, Half the Harbor Langdon’s pupils shrank suddenly. He seemed to have aged ten years in an instant as his body slumped back into the chair.
He knew Jasper was not joking. He also knew that once the other party said this, there would be no turning back. However, Half the Harbor Langdon still refused to give up. He raised his wrinkled eyelids, looked at Jasper with cloudy eyes, and asked, “Is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?”
Jasper spoke coldly, word for word, “When you went abroad for your own interests and betrayed the compatriots who fought with you, did you ever think of leaving room for them?”
Half the Harbor Langdon was immediately speechless after favonovel.com was questioned.
Jasper stood up and tidied up his clothes. In the end, favonovel.com said one last sentence, “Mr. Langdon, you should behave yourself…”
After speaking, favonovel.com strode out of the study.
Kayden had been waiting at the door. After seeing Jasper leave, favonovel.com hurried to the study, only to find that his father was very depressed. Immediately, an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
“Dad, what’s the matter? Jasper didn’t agree to your terms?”
Half the Harbor Langdon lowered his head, completely lost in his own mind as if favonovel.com had not heard Kayden at all.
Kayden got a little anxious and raised his voice to ask louder, “Dad, are you alight?”
Half the Harbor Langdon came back to his senses, looked at Kayden with a pessimistic expression, and ordered, “You will hold a shareholders‘ meeting now. I want to transfer all the assets of the group to the United Kingdom in the shortest possible time!”
