Most importantly, this meant that the Combes would be in a mutually beneficial relationship with Jasper. They would become allies.
Hendrik had advised him to do this repeatedly before he left the house earlier.
Even so, Jasper was not surprised by Hector’s choice.
Given the Combes’ stable position and their copious amount of property, they were definitely not a short-sighted family.
Jasper could tell this from the way they went against Sebastian, who was their relative, without the slightest hesitation, and chose to work together with Jasper.
Profits were their main priority.
People like this were extremely sly and smart. Nevertheless, they were the easiest to control as well.
As long as he showed them sufficient benefits and the horrors of betrayal, they would remain his most loyal subordinates.
Jasper laughed as he stood up and extended his hand toward Hector. “To be honest, I wish that you’d chosen the first option, but since you’ve made your choice, let’s work together,” he said.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Hector clasped Jasper’s hand with both of his hands. “Definitely!” He exclaimed.
……
After Hector left, Jasper returned to Dawson’s room. To his surprise, Chris was still there.
“Mr. Laine… Nice to meet you, Mr. Laine.”
Chris bounced off his chair the moment he saw Jasper enter the room. He proceeded to greet him cautiously.
“You’re being way too polite, Mr. Quarles,” Jasper grinned.
Chris laughed along with him while he secretly gave Jasper a once-over.
He looked at his face and contemplated his personality.
No matter how he looked at him, Jasper looked like a completely ordinary person to him.
He was simply incredible. He managed to end Sebastian’s life in the blink of an eye.
What kinds of skills did one need to have in order to do such a thing?
How old was he?
Jasper could not care less about the rich emotional drama that was playing out in Chris’s mind. “Uncle Schuler, I intend to acquire Kaymaroon so that Schuler Corporations can take over its market. That way, you won’t have any competitors in the national supermarket industry,” he told Dawson.
Dawson frowned and said, “Kaymaroon is larger than Schuler Corporations. If we take over their market, we may not be able to operate well.”
Jasper chuckled. “It’s alright, we can just spend more time and allocate funds to sort out the matter,” he said.
“Sure, but only under one condition,” Dawson said after thinking about it for a bit.
“Uncle Schuler, there’s no need to come up with conditions with it comes to the two of us. You can just tell me directly,” Jasper said.
“Have JW Capital acquire 50% of Schuler Corporations’ shares,” Dawson suddenly said.
Jasper was stunned. He would never have expected Dawson to make such a request.
“Uncle Schuler, it seems like you’re regarding me as an outsider,” Jasper remarked.
Dawson waved his hand and said in a solemn voice, “Putting our personal relationship aside, business is still business. I’ll have a big advantage if I exchange 50% of Schuler Corporations’ shares for Kaymaroon.
“In any case, this will all belong to the two of you in the future. I’m just giving you some of it in advance. I’ve already made my decision,” Dawson said.
“Sure. In that case, I’ll let Wendy hold onto part of these shares in my stead,” Jasper said while sighing.
Dawson smiled as he poked Jasper. “This kid. You’re so slick,” he said.
Chris, who was seated beside them, did not dare to utter a single word. He had unintentionally witnessed the birth of the leading company in the domestic supermarket industry.
