“Mr. Laine, can you tell me how you did it?” Celine asked.
Jasper smiled and said, “I told you this morning that I have 34% of the shares and then I told almost the same things to Montagne Capitals. Coincidentally, both of you believed me. So, my lie is not a lie anymore.”
Celine was not a petty woman. After Jasper explained things and she understood what was going on, she said sincerely, “Mr. Laine, your tactic is… amazing. Very old-fashioned.”
Standing at one side, Miss Stone’s expression changed. She yelled angrily, “You’re a liar indeed!”
Jasper peered at her and said insipidly, “Did you not see my agreement? I already have the 34% shares. How am I lying?”
Miss Stone said coldly, “But you said it yourself that you didn’t have it when you were here this morning. You admitted that!”
“The business world is like a warzone, and this is one of the tactics,” Jasper said flatly, “You only have yourself to blame for being unable to see through this.”
Miss Stone was so mad that her face had turned white. When she was about to say something, she saw that the way Celine was looking at her was becoming colder and colder.
Miss Stone felt flustered and quickly shut her mouth. However, she was cursing Jasper a million times in her heart.
Jasper ignored her. He looked at Celine and said, “Now, the basis for our collaboration has officially been formed. Miss Maynard, can we talk about the transfer of the shares now?”
Celine said indifferently, “There’s nothing to talk about. We agree unanimously on your conditions. I’ve already prepared the documents too.”
While she said that, Celine took out a transfer of shares agreement to hand it to Jasper.
After Jasper looked at it and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, he signed it instantly.
For now, Jasper had successfully pocketed Sena’s shares that were stranded out there.
“The money will be transferred into your preferred account today,” Jasper said with a smile.
“Mr. Laine, you already have 59% of Sena’s shares now. May I know what you’re going to do next?” Celine asked curiously.
Jasper chuckled lightly and said, “I’m going to send a huge surprise to Dane from Sena, of course.”
Celine looked as if she was in deep thought. Finally, she smiled and reached out to Jasper. She said, “Even though there were a lot of ups and downs, no matter what, I’m still going to wish us all the best in working together.”
Jasper reached out his hand to hold Celine’s. He smiled and said, “Best of luck.”
“I hope I still have a chance to work with you in the future, Mr. Laine. However, I hope such exciting things won’t happen again,” Celine displayed a look of terror and said jokingly.
Jasper chuckled lightly and said, “I’m sure we will have a chance to work together in the future.”
When Jasper was about to leave, Celine walked him to the door and said, “Mr. Laine, William was warned by the higher-ups regarding this. He’s furious now, so he might have some misunderstandings toward you. If you come across him in the future, you have to be careful.”
Jasper looked deeply at Celine and said, “Miss Maynard, it seems that you’re more than happy for me to be rivals with William.”
Celine said calmly, “You tricked me as well, Mr. Laine. So I think we’re even now that I’ve appropriately transferred some of William’s anger onto you.”
After laughing, Jasper said, “Sounds fair.”
Celine smiled and said, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I hope to replace William’s position, and since you’ve already offended William, then you should just go to the extreme. This way, we can be closer friends.”
Jasper looked deeply at Celine. He felt that this woman was not so easy to deal with.
“Farewell.”
“Safe travels.”
While looking at Jasper’s back, a complicated twinkle appeared in Celine’s eyes. Suddenly, she chuckled softly and said, “This man didn’t get angry even after I put it out in the open. He’s such a sharp-witted man.”
