Life at The Top novel Chapter 1297

“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.”
