“I’m warning you, Jasper. Downstream Investment Company isn’t something the Covington family
wants to buy. There’s someone ever more powerful behind who’s interested in it! You’re only going to
get yourself screwed over if you keep acting so stubborn!”
Gerald stared at Jasper and said.
Jasper arched his brow slightly.
Jasper believed what Gerald said since it was likely true. Downstream Investment Company did not
come with a license in his past life.
However, it did in this.
Usually, the acquisition of a state fund investment company should not come with a license.
Someone probably pulled a few strings throughout all this.
Only someone with very powerful contacts could include a priceless license along with the sale of a
state-funded investment company.
Therefore, Jasper could believe that someone extremely powerful had pulled the strings in question.
The Covington family was certainly not qualified enough to do so.
They were basically an agent in this situation.
Both Scott and Gerald had now brought up purchasing shares of Downstream Investment company.
Hence, it intrigued Jasper when Gerald straightforwardly told him about a more formidable character’s
involvement.
“I’ve already acquired Downstream Investment Company, and this is a fact that no one can change. Be
it you or this formidable figure you speak of, no one will be taking a dollar of profit from this company.
Let alone invest and become a shareholder.”
Jasper looked at Gerald and continued calmly, “I’m sure this formidable person has already pulled the
strings. But instead of acquiring the business himself, he decided to have your family act as a middle
man. So, either this formidable person’s got a sensitive identity and cannot appear in person, or he
doesn’t actually want the company itself. Correct?”
Gerald did not say anything but his heart shook in fear. This Jasper was truly skilled, a few sentences
were all it took for him to recount the whole truth.
“No matter what the situation is, the only reason I’d give you what I have is if I don’t want it. If you want
to steal it from me, then come and get it.”
Jasper then got up and walked toward the door.
“Either accept my conditions, Mr. Covington, or go and look for this powerful person supporting you. If
he manages to defeat me, then there’s nothingI can say. But I, Jasper Laine, have never surrendered
to anyway since I started doing business.”
“Just come and try me…”
Jasper did not look at Gerald’s sour expression and immediately left with Julian in tow.
Jasper had just left when the doors to the tea room opened and Emmett entered the room carefully.
“Dad, how’d the talk go?” Emmett asked.
“Horrible,” Gerald replied expressionlessly.
While he had been prepared, Emmett’s expression still darkened when he heard the result.
“He doesn’t want money or land. The only request he has is for Scott to leave Tefa City forever.”
Emmett was enraged when he heard Jasper’s condition.
“Bullsh*t! All of the Covington family’s foundations are in Tefa City! There’s no way we can move
elsewhere. We’ve only got one heir, so what’s the difference between that and completely destroying
the Covington family?”
“’Why would he care?”
Gerald sneered. “If not for your great son, this incident would never have developed to this point. I
already asked around, and it was your son who offended others first This wouldn’t have happened
otherwise.”
Emmett asked bitterly, “Then what do we do now?”
“What else can we do?”
Gerald clenched his jaw and said grimly, “Prepare the car. I need to visit the Marquis.”
Emmett was stunned. “Are we really going to tell the Marquis about this? He told us to acquire
Downstream Investment Company on his behalf, but not only did we screw up, we even offended
Jasper. I’m afraid the Marquis will think that we’re incompetent…”
