“The reality is so severe that anyone with a discerning eye can see it. Do I have to show you how anxious I am?” Jasper smiled bitterly.
Celine snorted. “Do you also know that the consequences are serious? You knew it, yet you still do it. Now that you’ve done it, it is tantamount to offending the United States and the entirety of Wall Street.”
“If l don’t do this, I would also be offending them. Is it possible to expect those capitalist elders to let me off the hook?” Jasper said in rumination.
Celine played with her expensive pen.
Only 50 pieces of this limited edition Montblanc Bohéme were sold throughout the world. One would be able to get replacement parts for it throughout its lifetime, making it extremely valuable. If other people got such a pen that was valuable enough to be exchanged with the most expensive sports car, they would probably put it in the cabinet to cherish it, but in Celine’s hands, it had returned to its most essential function. It was just for writing.
“You are a noble person now. Tell me, what the hell is it?” Celine knew that Jasper would not come to her if he did not need anything, much less at this critical time. There had to be something very important since he was seeking her out, so she did not waste too much time.
“I heard that Sentel Corporation has been in contact with your family, and they are hoping to get some help from your family in the United States political arena.” Jasper asked.
Celine raised her eyebrows.
Celine’ s eyebrows were sharp, and it was very rare for women to have them because it was not an easy look to carry. If an ordinary woman had such eyebrows, she would inevitably appear crude and uncoordinated. However, the sharp eyebrows complemented Celine. Not only did they not look masculine, but they added a sharp aura to Celine that an average woman would never be able to pull off.
“I don‘t know much about the specifics in the family, but I did hear about it before. Mr. Laine, you’re something else. On the surface, you seem to be indifferent to my family, but secretly, you know such confidential news.”
Celine did not pretend to be surprised.
As a Somerland descent, she could have a significant role to play in United States politics. On one hand, it stemmed from the special national conditions of the United States, and on the other hand, it also highlighted how special and powerful the Maynards really were.
It was not easy for ordinary people to know of the existence of the Maynards. Even more than that, knowing the secrets of the family was just not something ordinary people could do.
“Naturally, I have my channels.”
Jasper kept her on tenterhooks and did not intend to sell Adele out.
“In my current situation, I intend to bring Sentel Corporation into the game, but I need some chips to impress them.”
He only needed to reveal half of what he wanted to say to someone smart. He did not need to explain too much. Thus, he could save his time and effort.
Sure enough, Celine immediately understood.
Her expression became solemn. After hesitating for a while, she answered, “To be honest, my influence is limited in my family’s affairs.”
“I understand. So, if it’s possible, I hope you can pass on my message for me. As long as there’s interest, I don’t think there’s anything that can’t be collaborated on in this world.”
Celine smiled and said, “Jasper, you are a businessman through and through. However, you have to understand that in a family like mine, politics are our core, they are our very roots. We might not be swayed with the tactics of a businessman.”
“Businessmen or politicians are among the dirtiest people in the world, but we have one thing in common, interests.” Jasper laughed.
“Okay, I will convey your meaning to the family immediately. As for the conditions they offer or whether they even respond to you, that’s none of my concern,” Celine said.
