“Have you not humiliated me enough, Celine?”
Wiliam glared at Celine and sneered.
Celine kept her hand over her nose and spoke cheerfully, “You think too much.”
With that, Celine ignored the sour look on Wiliam’s face and pulled her phone out to call Jasper.
“We’ve caught him.”
Celine stretched her neck to look at William’s computer screen as she spoke. Seeing Sena’s stock chart blinking continuously on the screen, she continued, “We caught him red-handed. He was still trading when we arrived and from the looks of it, he’s tried his best to keep the share prices from rising. He’s close to clearing his account at this rate.
“So what now, do you want me to bring him to you?” Celine asked.
Jasper was currently eating lunch with Jack and the rest.
They had woken up early in the morning to ring the Nasdaq opening bell so that Sena could go public. Everyone had been so excited and high-strung that they only found the time to have lunch now.
“No need.” Jasper swallowed a mouthful of food, feeling slightly upset.
While there were Somer restaurants in the United States, the flavor of the food here was rather indescribable.
Jasper was starting to miss the taste of home.
“There’s no need for that. He’s no more than an insignificant side character.
“I’m eating now, we’ll talk when you get back.”
Jasper then hung up the call.
As if anticipating that Jasper would say such a thing, Celine had put the phone on loudspeaker since the very beginning.
William had heard Jasper’s words clearly.
William, who still planned to protest at the very beginning, was irked by Jasper’s attitude and suddenly became as mad as a rabid dog.
This was the biggest attack someone could land on their opponent.
The enemy he had been plotting to crush ultimately defeated him as if he was nothing.
This was what William felt now.
A surge of anger and humiliation flooded him, almost making him abandon all rationale.
“Who does he think he is? I’m the president of Colossal Investments’ Terra regional branch! Countless financial magazines could only wish to interview me! I have people begging for me to invest in their companies and to give them a job at Colossal!
“Who the hell does he think he is! How dare he look down on me? What does he mean insignificant? I’m going to kill him! He’s f*cking dead!”
Overwhelmed by his emotions, William continued to thrash and struggle, which only resulted in more people surrounding him and keeping him in place. They made sure he could not do anything in his agitation.
Celine watched Wiliam’s reaction and her expression looked content. She waited until he was done speaking before she replied slowly, “You’re indeed the president of Colossal Investments’ Terra regional branch. That’s going to change soon, but I suppose you still are right now.
“The difference between the both of you is that you’re nothing once you leave Colossal Investments. Even if you manage to stay in Colossal, you’re still nothing more than one of its many senior executives.
“But he’s the soul of JW Capital and its chain of companies. He has various companies under his name, all with boundless potential.
“The world’s first skyscraper in the future will belong to him and the currently most hyped dot-com enterprise belongs to him too. Only the future will tell of his success.
“And there’s nothing you can do but watch him succeed from the confinements of your jail cell.”
Celine stared at the deep hatred in Wiliam’s eyes.
“I can’t believe I actually fought with someone like you for years. Now that I think about it, it’s unbefitting of someone of my status. My apologies.”
With that, Celine ignored William who looked completely defeated and waved her hand, “Bring him away.”
…
Half an hour later, Celine appeared beside Jasper with a smile on her face.
“All done?” Jasper asked.
