It was either Fabian let Henry and the gang go or he would be left with nothing.
Jasper was confident because he knew that even if Fabian did not agree to let them go, Henry would still be safe. He would just need to suffer a few more days of hardship.
After all, the Laws were still around, and the Atticus family was not prepared to have a complete fall out with the former. Moreover, if they really fell out with the Laws, the Laws would go mad if Fabian targeted Henry. This would force the old master to show his face. This would bring no benefits to the Atticus family.
Hence, what was in front of Fabian right now was a deal. Jasper was willing to use 500 million US Dollars in exchange for Henry’s early release.
It seemed that Jasper would suffer a huge loss from this, but this bold yet foolish behavior made Fabian feel extremely humiliated. Because this 500 million should belong to him! He even got this loan after he mortgaged 100% of Empire Meet’s stock rights. Right now, Jasper was using his own money to bargain for Henry!
“Jasper, you’re so calculative. This money should be mine! You don’t even need to spend a dime and yet you want to take Henry away from me?” Fabian said coldly.
Jasper shook his head and said, “Mr. Atticus, firstly, you have to know that in this situation, if I say the money is yours, then it’s yours. If I say it’s not, then it’s not.”
This statement felt like a huge kick to Fabian’s ribs. He immediately exploded. “How dare you come to Harbor City and strut around in front of me?”
“I have the ability to do so.” Jasper shrugged and placed the fruit knife down slowly. He smiled softly at Fabian and continued, “If you’re the one who wins, I guess you’ll be even more nefarious than me, right?”
“Good! Amazing! Jasper, I lost so much money and I don’t care about this last 500 million US Dollars. Worse comes to worst, I don’t want any of it!”
Jasper grinned and replied, “Of course, you have the right to choose…”
“However, you’re no stranger to this thing, right, Mr. Atticus?”
As Jasper said that, he took out an agreement.
When Fabian saw the header of this contract, his eyes contracted.
‘Mortgage Agreement’. And below that was his signature!
With just one look, Fabian was sure that this was the agreement he signed when he mortgaged 100% of Empire Meet’s stock right to loan 500 million US Dollars.
“How did you get that?” This was the first time in this meeting that Fabian failed to control his expression.
Fabian had been deliberately showing Jasper when he was mad, or when he was mocking him, or when he was being calm.
When one got to this stage of life, no one would be so stupid as to show their true emotions on their faces. However, at this moment, Fabian could hold himself back anymore.
He could not imagine that the loan he got from the underground money firm would end up in Jasper’s hands.
Jasper chuckled lightly. He recalled how when he got off the plane, he ran into Kayden’s people. Kayden’s present really helped him a lot.
That was why he dared to come here. It was because he understood Fabian’s true condition from this agreement.
If Fabian did not use his family’s power, he would have nothing.
This was exactly the confidence Jasper needed to pin Fabian down on the negotiation table.
