“What a pitiful loser. All the insults you throw at me are nothing more than the rewards of my victory. It sounds better than songs of praise from someone else because the more you insult me, the more tragic you’ve lost. And, the more I’ve won.”
Jasper, who was standing beside, could not help but take another look at Celine when she spoke. In all honesty, women really were superior when they argued. This alone was enough to get rid of a large group of people and their potty mouths.
William’s body trembled in infuriation but Celine was no longer interested in arguing with him.
“Do you even know what a true winner is? No, you don’t. Look at this man beside me that you called a barbarian. Yet has he paid you any attention from the get-go? Your every insult sounds nothing more than the barks of stray dogs to him.
“You can insult us as much as you want, but remember that you’re going to trial soon while we’re going to celebrate. This is the true difference between a winner and a loser. It’s not about who has the loudest voice.”
With that, Celine wrapped an arm around Jasper’s arm and the two turned to leave.
William’s eyes were bloodshot as he glared at the two retreating figures. He was too infuriated to speak.
After taking just two steps, Celine seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned with a smile.
“Oh yeah, I’ve also gotten Paulson’s promise that I’ll be taking over your position.
“I’ll be the president of the Terra regional branch.
“See you, or maybe not. We belong to two different worlds now and there won’t be any reason for us to meet again. You’ve already lost and have nothing left. How tragic.”
Celine and Jasper left, leaving William to roar and shout. Following this was the sound of the car door closing and then, silence.
…
Since he had promised Celine, Jasper did not go out to celebrate with Jack and the rest. After all, with a superior like him there, those senior executives might not be able to fully relax.
Jasper may be around their children’s age, but his status was completely different. Not to mention that with Jasper’s growing wealth, his subordinates’ attitude toward him only became more courteous.
Jasper told Jack about it and got into the car Celine had prepared for them. The car made its way deeper into New York City.
Celine brought Jasper to one of New York’s, and even the world’s, most famous tourist attractions—the Empire State Building.
Jasper joked as he took in the tall Empire State Building that seemed to shoot for the sky. “I can almost taste money in the air when I take a deep breath.”
Celine chuckled and spoke, “Come on, I have something special prepared for you.”
Jasper was a little shocked but did not ask any questions, opting instead to follow Celine into the Empire State Building.
Jasper once again realized how broad Celine’s contracts were.
This woman had actually transformed the rooftop area on the Empire State Building into an open bar.
Frankly speaking, a mere general manager of Colossal Investments’ Terra regional branch should not be able to invite Winston Benett for an interview, nor make the rooftop of the Empire State Building into her own private garden and bar.
Jasper was curious about Celine’s family background, but if she did not want to tell him, Jasper would not waste his time asking either.
They were friends, after all, and family background did not matter.
Jasper did not have a great family background, so all he could do was be the background for his future generations. He would not envy others who came from wealthy families, or it would truly be bad for his heart to spend every day by Henry’s side.
“Come and look at the city’s skyline. Stand here. You’re going to own a building even taller than the Empire State Building soon and it’ll only be a matter of time before countless people look up to you like they look up to the Empire State Building!”
