Listening to what Jasper said, Conrad then smiled. “I’m just an ordinary person, and exquisite hobbies like tasting tea don’t suit me. This is my father’s favorite place to go, I came to know this place before long.”
“The lady boss Adele is a sophisticated woman, and so is her social status. That’s why her Brew Splash Teahouse is the best place to talk about business.”
Unusual social status?
Jasper narrowed his eyes.
While his facial expression showed no sign of changes.
“What’s the matter that Mr. Monty invited me here to talk about?”
Conrad chuckled and said, “I’d like to form a united front with you, Mr. Laine.”
Not to mention that Henry was shocked, even Jasper raised his eyebrows after listening to what he said.
“Fabian wouldn’t have agreed on this, right?”
Conrad laughed and said, “Can’t the matters that he disagreed with be hidden away from him?”
“Give me a reason,” Jasper replied coldly.
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch, you have your reason for doing this. Stop giving false excuses, I’d like to listen to the truth.” Jasper added.
Conrad spoke expressionlessly, “A few months ago, I talked to my father. He told me that it took more than twenty years for the Monty family to make their fortune, which started with my grandfather. Within all these twenty years, given that the few chances, there’s only one reason that strengthened the Monty family.”
“My grandfather didn’t put all his eggs in one basket when he was making important decisions last time.”
Henry scoffed once he heard it.
“Nonsense, sounds nice but isn’t that being a fence sitter?”
Conrad did not lose his temper, instead, he nodded and replied sincerely, “Yes, it is.”
“Although fence sitters were always being cast aside, you can’t deny that no matter you’re standing on the left or the right side of the wall, you need that fence sitter to exist. Otherwise, who’s going to rebuild that wall after the wall came tumbling down?”
“Winners disdain to do such things, so this is why fence sitters exist.”
Jasper replied calmly, “Mr. Monty seems to forget about something else. Fabian and I only need a steadfast ally in the battle of life and death. Of course, this character could be one of those Fabian’s loyal attendants.”
“It doesn’t matter if he’s an ally or an attendant. I’m afraid that once the fence sitter has any second thoughts, he’d be the first to die.”
Conrad replied blandly, “Mr. Laine, maybe we should change our perspectives regarding this matter.”
“Looks like you’re sure that I’m going to say yes.” Jasper laughed.
Conrad lifted his hand to pour tea into the cups and served Jasper and Henry a cup of tea each personally in a humble manner.
When the tea was served in front of Henry, Conrad smiled. “Mr. Law, you don’t have to detest me. Working with Mr. Atticus, there are many things I had to do in that position, otherwise, I’m useless to him.”
“You know how Mr. Atticus’s behaved, If I don’t show how useful am I to him, I’ll out of luck.”
“You’re good in smooth- talking.” Henry sneered, his face was still unhappy.
Conrad got back to his seat, looked at Jasper, and said, “I’m sure because there’s no reason for Mr. Laine to reject someone who working beside Mr. Atticus a spy who’s able to obtain first hand information from Mr. Atticus’s right?”
“How do I know this wasn’t Fabian’s plan?” Jasper asked.
Conrad’s facial expression was cahn, he then answered, “Fabian has already teamed up with Softwin’s Mr. Welch and Mr. Morrison from Layman Investment Bank. Three of them combined and collected not less than 1.2 billion US Dollars, and were planning to liquidate all of your stocks on Jow Dones Index.”
“And they’re planning to do it…”
Conrad lifted his hand and shot a glance on his watch, then said, “Five hours later when the US Jow Dones Index stock market opens.”
Conrad looked at jasper, and continued, “Does this prove my sincerity?”
Henry’s facial expression slightly changed when he heard these words, then he turned and looked at Jasper.
