Life at The Top novel Chapter 1292

Sean was stunned for a moment when he heard Jasper’s instructions.

However, Sean was a smart man and he knew one thing. The company was Jasper’s, so the man had complete say over what happened within it.

After understanding that, Sean immediately replied. “I understand, Mr. Laine! I’ll get to it immediately!”

After hanging up the phone, Jasper then turned to look at Scott’s wretched expression and said calmly, “The Covington family doesn’t only do real estate, right? It’s also one of the top three suppliers of non-staple foods in Southeast Province, hmm?”

Then, Jasper made another call. This time to Dawson.

“Uncle Schuler, please take all non-staple food provided by the Covington family off the shelves in the group’s supermarkets.”

Far in Nauritus City, Dawson was in a meeting when he received the call and smiled as he replied, “Alright. I’ll send word immediately.”

As the largest chain supermarket brand, Schuler Supermarkets had way too many suppliers begging for a partnership.

It had gotten to the point where any product of an enterprise would surely be profitable the moment it was sold on Schuler Supemiarkets’ shelves.

Hence, it was no problem to pull one brand of non-staple food off the shelves.

Jasper put the phone down and looked at Scott, the man’s face devoid of color. Jasper demanded calmly, “Tell me what other industries this dominating Covington family in Tefa City is involved in.”

The corner of Scott’s mouth twitched. He could not say anything, but cold sweat began to bead over his forehead.

He was just the third generation of the Covington family. His grandfather and his dad still presided over the family.

The person in charge now might be his dad, but even his dad was just a junior in the elder’s eyes.

Scott had never imagined he would bring his family so much trouble.

“Mr. Laine, the Covington family also does food and beverages, and they have a few big restaurants and hotels in Tefa City.”

Baz suddenly spoke up.

He wanted nothing more than to screw Scott over, so he naturally would not pass this chance up.

Scott shivered when he heard Baz.

He looked at Baz resentfully as if he wanted to rip the man to shreds.

“F&B and hotels, huh? I’m not involved in those two industries.”

Scott felt relieved when he heard Jasper, but this relief had only lasted a few seconds before Jasper continued to talk.

“But I’m close with a few restaurant owners in Nauritus City. It shouldn’t be any problem to invest in them and ask them to start a trade war with the Covington family’s food and beverage enterprise.”

“As for hotels, the person in charge of Hilton Hotels in Southeast Province contacted me a few days ago and asked if I wanted to work together. I planned on declining, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to open a JW Hilton here in Tefa City, wouldn’t you say?”

Scott lost all hope when he heard this.

“You’re crazy, Jasper!” Scott shouted.

“Just what did I do to offend you, to the point that you’re willing to go so far and target the Covington family?! Even if you succeed, you’re still going to end up paying a lot of money!”

Jasper chuckled and asked, “Is this a lot of money?”

“If I manage to completely get rid of the Covington family from Tefa City, then the space you will leave in the market will easily earn me back everything I initially paid.”

Scott’s eyes were filled with fear as he shouted at Jasper, “So you’re going to fight the Covington family to the death over something so insignificant?”

Jasper replied calmly, “You think that this is something insignificant. You also think it’s only right that I give you half of Downstream Investment Company’s shares, don’t you?”
