Jasper replied calmly, “I have no qualms with her being a little smart, but the last thing Iwant is someone too stupid. What I need is someone who can be Tiff’s friend for the four years she’ll be spending in university. Her being benefited doesn’t matter much to me. I’ll only be concerned if she meets some idiot like that Mia again.”
“Moreover, scheming or not, it’s still Tiff’s life. I can’t d o everything for her, so she’s going to have to deal with it herself.”
As Jasper and Henry returned to the hotel to rest, someone else was in a horrible mood.
“Mr. Ball, that’s the situation now. The entire stock market is very calm and we’ve already identified some entities that bought shares secretly. It’s not a large amount, but we’ve got our eyes on them in case they make a move.”
Alban waved off the subordinate who was reporting the situation as the furrow in his brows deepened.
“Three days. Every hour is important, but Jasper’s not doing anything at all. What’s he trying to do?”
Alban had always prided himself on having mental prowess just as impressive, or even more impressive than anyone else. Yet, here he was, confused by Jasper’s lack of action.
Like everyone else, Alban thought that Jasper would make a huge move this morning when the market opened.
The man would either buy Seatreasures Group’s shares like crazy and find an opportunity to sell it short, or he would try and affect Seatreasures Group’s share price with pieces of negative news.
Despite this, the morning trading hours had now ended and the market was currently closed for lunch, yet there was still no sign of Jasper.
This was an illogical move, which had caused Alban to not stop frowning since this morning.
“It can’t be that simple.”
