It was because a company like Sena was bound to cause a huge surge of interest in investments the minute they were listed publicly. No one dared predict how much their shares would rise, but it was without a doubt that they would be priced sky-high on the very first day.
Colossal Investments was drooling over a business deal that would bring them such fame.
After all, the competition in the investment industry was brutal and competitive. No one knew which was the second biggest investment company, but everyone knew Colossal Investments was the biggest investment company.
If Colossal Investments ever fell from grace, they would be forgotten by the public in a matter of days.
That was why Jasper dared to ignore their shady tricks.
All he needed to do was switch companies. What was there for Jasper to worry about?
On the contrary, it was something that the internal affairs at Colossal Investments needed to worry over.
As expected, Celine’s eyebrows were knitted together when she heard what Jasper had said.
“Don’t panic yet. I’ll take care of this as soon as possible,” Celine said to Jasper.
“Three days. Give me three days.”
Jasper gazed at the serious expression on Celine’s face and thought about it for a moment before he nodded and said, “Alright, let me know if you need my cooperation in anything.”
“But keep in mind that I don’t have much time.”
When she heard Jasper agree, Celine hurriedly nodded and said, “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to give you a proper explanation.”
When she finished, Celine bade goodbye to Jasper and hurried back to her room.
“Yvonne, come here.” Celine returned to her room and sat silently in the study for half an hour before calling out to Yvonne.
Yvonne had already received news that the board was stopping Sena from being listed publicly and was still celebrating inwardly. When she heard Celine, she did not think much about it and immediately entered the study.
Slap!
A loud slap rang out as a hand landed heavily on Yvonne’s cheek.
Yvonne cradled her cheek as she stared at Celine in disbelief, yelling, “Miss Maynard, why did you hit me?!”
“Why?” Celine laughed coldly as she said, “You dared to turn on me but you never thought there would be a day when I found out about it?
“Tell me! What sort of benefits did William give you to leak information to him?!”
Yvonne panicked when she heard Celine’s questions and instinctively shook her head as she denied it. “Miss Maynard, you’ve misunderstood me. I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Yvonne, you’ve been with me for so many years. How do you still not know me well?” Celine gazed disappointedly at Yvonne. “Conversely, I know you very well.
“The members of the board who voiced their objections were all William’s superiors. He’s definitely involved in this. Besides, William’s been making frequent calls to the headquarters recently. Did you really think I wouldn’t have noticed that?”
Celine’s cold words caused Yvonne’s heart to sink to the pit of her stomach.
“I knew you hated Jasper, but I never thought you would be so ballsy to even work with my enemy to cause trouble for Jasper. Do you know this will cause me to lose any reputation I have?” Celine said through gritted teeth.
Flustered, Yvonne said stubbornly, “Even if William was the one making a mess of things, it still has nothing to do with me.”
“Nothing to do with you? Right now, only me, you, and President Paulson know of my collaboration with Jasper. Are you suggesting the president was the one who sold me out?”
