Jasper said mildly, “I thought you received the news a long time ago. Are you only receiving the news now? Looks like things aren’t going so well for Motley Media’s chairman, eh?”
Erik gritted his teeth.
Indeed, although he was Motley Media’s president, there were many people in the Turner family who were unhappy about this and often set up obstacles to hinder him.
This was such an important matter yet he was only informed about it now. Clearly, someone had put obstacles in his way.
Erik said with an ice-cold face, “How dare you attack Motley Media, Jasper Laine?! You must have a death wish.”
Jasper said insipidly, “You should have thought of this when you attacked Easy Media. I was just taking necessary countermeasures.
“What’s wrong? Only you can fight me and I’m not allowed to fight back? I didn’t know this logic exists.”
Erik was so furious he burst out laughing. “Do you think you’re capable of fighting back? You can’t even recognize what’s good for you. You’re simply seeking your own doom!
“How many people gave up resisting and knelt down to beg for mercy when they found out that I’m going to deal with them? Who the f*ck do you think you are, Jasper? How dare you fight back?!”
Jasper looked at Erik coldly and said, “I’m sorry, but I’m an unyielding man, so it’s impossible for me not to fight back.”
Erik flashed a sinister smile and raised his hand, pointing at Jasper while saying, “Okay, an unyielding man, huh? Sure, let’s see who will be the last man standing!”
After saying these words, Erik turned around and left with a gloomy expression.
He was vigilant about the sudden jump in Motley Media’s stock price but never would have thought that Jasper would be so bold to touch Motley Media. He did so with such decisiveness too. It seemed like he needed to go back as soon as possible to deal with this matter.
In addition to that, he must punish Jasper for his arrogance!
After walking out of the hotel’s entrance, Erik’s eyes shifted and he made a call immediately.
“It’s me, Erik.
“I heard that Jasper is really close to Jim Yapp… Yes, teach Jim a lesson and let him know that he will face very serious consequences for following the wrong person.”
When Anna saw Erik leaving in a rage, she said to Jasper, “This person is an extremist. He can do anything. He won’t let this matter drop so easily.”
Jasper said nonchalantly, “What can he possibly do? Does he think he can shut the domestic stock market down after what happened there? He can’t stop this from happening. If he uses other means to deal with us, then we’ll just endure it.
“When we have enough stocks in hand after a few days, that’s when it’ll be his doom.”
Anna nodded in agreement.
…
In the evening, Jim was driving to the entrance of a reputable high school while humming.
It was his son’s birthday today and he and his wife had decided to host a celebration for him.
In addition to that, Jasper had helped him tremendously during this period of time. He had successfully acquired George Powell’s consulting company. With his company’s smooth development, business was booming. Everything was moving in the right direction.
Therefore, Jim was in a good mood. He was wondering if he should invite Jasper over tonight as well so that his family could thank him themselves.
At the thought of this, he asked his wife who was sitting at the front passenger seat and holding a cake to keep an eye on the entrance of the school while he gave Jasper a call.
As soon as the call was connected, several burly men suddenly surrounded the car from all sides. Before Jim knew what was happening, both car doors were opened and he heard his wife yelp.
Anxious, Jim tossed his phone aside, and before he could say anything to those men, the clubs they held in their hands started raining down on the couple.
In a shopping mall on the other side of Swallow Capital, Jasper listened to the commotion coming from the phone. He heard the cursing and yelling of strangers as well as Jim’s screams.
“Jim is in trouble!”
Jasper stood up abruptly, anger coursing through his veins.
