After a round of crazy screaming and venting, Calvin sat down on the curb despondently.
No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, Calvin knew deep inside that he and Jasper were of drastically different statuses. He belonged in the mud while Jasper lived high up in the skies.
He was unable to destroy Jasper on his own.
Therefore, he had to employ a more special method. Calvin then pulled out a small slip of paper from the innermost pocket of his pants and looked at the cursive phone number written on it.
After he was released from prison, he realized that his sister Penelope had managed to turn her life around and become the owner of a company. Calvin knew his sister too well. She might be able to play cards with a bunch of married women and talk to parents about homely matters, but Penelope was not equipped to start up a company.
Under Calvin’s close observation, he finally found out that Penelope would contact someone from time to time.
Calvin first thought that this was a new lover Penelope had found, but he slowly realized that Penelope was terrified of him.
After a period of observation, Calvin realized that this mysterious man was the reason Penelope now had her own company to manage. The other party had provided resources, products, and sales channels, and all his sister had to do was be the company’s owner.
Calvin had also discovered a huge secret.
This person seemed to be asking his sister to deal with Jasper.
“So, you’re not going to help me as Jasper steps all over me, huh, Pen? Fine! Then you two have no right to blame me for being cruel!”
Calvin said to himself before he dialed the number he secretly copied from Penelope’s phone.
A moment later, the call connected.
No one said anything.
Calvin’s breathing was heavy as he ignored the excitement and pain in his cheek to say, “I’m Penelope’s brother.”
The person on the other end of the line finally replied.
“Penelope wouldn’t dare to give you my contact number. How did you find me?”
Calvin chuckled and said, “That’s none of your business. I’m just telling you that my sister has never carried out any of your orders. She doesn’t even dare to deal with Jasper.”
The other end of the line fell silent for a moment before he said indifferently, “And how does that concern you?”
“Of course it does! ”
Calvin raised his voice suddenly, his aura seeped with resentment and heartlessness.
“I’ll do the things she’s too afraid to! And I’ll definitely do it better than she can!”
After a long while, the person on the other end replied, “Interesting. I originally planned to get rid of you, but if you’re this confident, I might just be willing to give you a chance.”
Calvin was overjoyed. “I won’t disappoint you.”
***
Having immediately returned to the villa, Jasper naturally had no idea of what happened after he left. As far as he was concerned, whether Calvin gave up or tried to take revenge in the future was an insignificant matter to him.
The higher his status and the greater his wealth, the more people would hate him.
Jasper would not have time to do anything if he spent effort and time dealing with insignificant people like Calvin all day.
His true enemies were people like Fabian.
Just then, his video call with the Law family also connected.
“Hello, Uncle Law. How are you doing?”
Jasper smiled at Zachary on the monitor and said as he sat in the study.
Zachary waved him off and took a sip of tea idly before he said, “You don’t contact me unless there’s something you need. Go ahead, then. What is it?”
Jasper laughed out loud. Considering his relationship with the Law family, there was no need for too many unnecessary pleasantries, so he went straight to the point, “Uncle Law, do you still remember when I said I’ll show you an opportunity to make a large sum of money?”
Be it Jasper, or the Law family, personal interest was always the strongest bond in a relationship.
The Law family admired Jasper greatly and had been helping him all this while. Whenever Jasper asked, they would always help him without holding back.
However, Jasper had to eventually repay them for their help.
From the very beginning, Zachary and Old Master Law had greatly admitted Jasper’s capabilities. In this way, their help could be understood as a form of investment in him.
This was especially true after the Harbor City stock crisis whereby the Law family and the whole of Harbor City had seen Jasper’s capabilities. Due to this, the relationship between them only grew closer.
Now was finally the time for Jasper to repay their kindness.
“Of course I do.”
Zachary’s eyes lit up in interest and he put the teacup in his hands down.
“Why? Has the opportunity arrived?”
Jasper grunted in affirmation and informed him that in these two months, this bull market has been showing signs of a dwindling, and that there would be a huge pullback.
“Our analyst team has also caught on to what you just said long ago, but this is a technical pullback Do you think that there’s a huge opportunity here?”
Zachary frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
Jasper smiled. No one would expect the earth-shattering 9/11 incident to happen at such a time.
It would turn this technical pullback into a horrifying plummet on the market. However, Jasper would not tell him that.
“It’s not that I don’t believe you, Jasper, but you have to consider this very carefully.
“If we misread the direction and trend and put in more than a billion Somer Dollars, not only will we lose the money if something goes wrong. But we’ll also anger Wall Street’s capitalists.”
“More than a billion?” Jasper chuckled and proceeded to say something that stunned Zachary.
“Uncle Law, my funds alone amount to 9 billion and I even contacted the little prince and Lord Alvarado. The three of us together will amount funds of at least 20 billion.”
“So much?!” Zachary was an experienced man, but he was still dazed by what he heard.
“You know me, Uncle Law. I wouldn’t make such a big move if I wasn’t sure.”
Zachary’s brows knitted together, and three wrinkled lines appeared between them.
He had more to consider than Jasper did.
“Tell me, Jasper, how sure of this are you? We’re hitting hard at what is essentially Wall Street’s artery, the center of the global economy. There are countless wealthy capitalists there.”
“We’re no match to their money and capabilities. If we fail, the entire Law family could potentially fall.”
Jasper smiled and replied with a fiery gaze, “The western capitalists have been making money off of people all over the world for centuries. Their roots are most certainly too deep and unreachable.”
“I’m not planning to use this opportunity to do anything to them either. But I’m certain I can make them suffer a little. I’m ninety percent sure of my success!”
