Jax was stunned the moment he heard the roar on the other end of the phone.
‘What did Jasper do?’
Jasper did not do anything. He was just sitting opposite Jax.
‘Did his boss misunderstand?’
“Sir, let me explain. I am indeed negotiating with Jasper, but…”
“But what?!”
There was a roar from the other end again.
“F*ck, the company’s stock price has evaporated by 10 billion in just a few minutes! Don’t you know that?!”
After hearing this, Jax quickly turned on his phone and glanced at the stock app. When he saw Homer’s stock dropping a full ten percent, his mind went blank. A sense of powerlessness rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet.
Jax slumped on his chair as if he had lost his soul. His eyes first stayed fixed on the phone before turning back at Jasper in disbelief.
“Jax, you bastard!”
“If you don’ t handle this matter well, you can just wait for your dismissal!”
Beep beep beep…
The line then cut off.
Jax felt all his strength draining from his body. He subconsciously released his right hand and the phone fell to the ground with a smack
On the other hand, Jasper only sneered when he saw Jax’s ashen face.
On one side, Beckett was also extremely shocked. Before, he had heard that Jasper was able to call the shots in the stock market and he even had many ways to do so. However, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Today, he had followed Jasper, and in just a few minutes, he had learned so much.
At this moment, a sense of pride and joy rose in his heart. He was proud that he was able to work for Jasper. He was even more fortunate that he changed his job and chose to work with Jasper.
“Mr. Laine, fortunately, we are not rivals, otherwise, I wouldn’t even know how I was killed.”
Beckett let out a long exhale and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
As soon as he said that, Jax also came back to his senses. He suddenly looked like he had gone mad. He pushed away the chair and ran in front of Jasper. In the next second, he held Jasper’s hand.
“Mr. Laine! It’s all my fault. Please have mercy and stop attacking Homer. I don’t want to be fired!”
Jax’s face was extremely pale as he held Jasper’s hand tightly, his expression also became distorted. Jax spent nearly 20 years climbing to the position of regional head.
After graduation, he joined Homer. In the beginning, he was only a salesman on the front lines. After years of hard work, he managed to climb to his current position step by bloody step. It could be said that he devoted his whole life to his work However, he was about to be fired!
Once fired, Jax would have nothing!
Right now, the key to whether or not he would be sacked lay with Jasper. If Jasper was willing to forgive him, he could keep his job.
“Mr. Laine, please… I… I’ll kneel for you!”
Jax begged. Suddenly, he fell to his knees. When his knees touched the cold floor, it made a dull sound.
A few minutes ago, Jax was still arrogant and looking down on everyone. However, right now, he was kneeling beside Jasper and crawling over to Jasper’s feet. He was looking as pitiful as a dog.
“Mr. Laine, please say something. Please… Please!”
Jax kowtowed fiercely and a bruise soon appeared on his forehead. However, Jasper turned a blind eye as if he had not even seen it.
On the other side, Beckett was also indifferent.
Seeing that Jasper still refused to speak, Jax smashed his head to the ground like crazy. Dull sounds resonated throughout the room.
Soon, Jax’s forehead was bleeding and there were bloodstains on the floor.
“Enough…”
