Life at The Top novel Chapter 1671

The devouring of these 3 points was not a big deal in and of itself. It was just a buffer zone, so it did not matter if they devoured it.

The trading was now closed. As soon as the trading opens tomorrow, this buffer zone was no longer necessary. It was just an honorable excuse for each other to end the first day of fighting.

What angered Jasper was that Kayden ordered the Harbor City trading center to do this without consulting him. Whether it was Kayden who persuaded other investors in the Harbor City trading center, or Kayden himself gave the order directly without telling them, neither of these two reasons could change the fact that Jasper had lost actual control of the Harbor City trading center.

It was also the first time Jake saw Jasper so furious. He swallowed and said cautiously, “M- Mr. Laine, now we…”

“Just do whatever you need to do. I will resolve this matter.”

Jasper said after taking two deep breaths and suppressing the raging flames in his chest.

Jake nodded and he did not dare to stay for a long time. After exchanging a few words, he took the initiative to end the video call.

After calling the hotel to come over and replace the broken equipment, Jasper paced back and forth in his room with a sullen face.

If he completely lost control of the Harbor City trading center, then this would become a terrifying bomb.

He was already attacking somebody much stronger than himself in his confrontation with Wall Street, so if he had a bomb placed next to himself, he would definitely be doomed.

Just then, Jasper’s cell phone rang. It was a number from Harbor City.

After picking it up, Jasper heard Kayden’s mild voice from the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Laine, it was very urgent back then and we didn’t have enough time, so I did that without telling you. I hope you won’t be mad.”

Jasper did not want to hide it, and he said directly, “I am furious. Didn’t have enough time so you didn’t tell me? Why do you need to report this to me?”

“All the operational arrangements of the Harbor City trading center are under the unified command of the Nauritus City center. The Harbor City trading center made such a move suddenly without the order of the Nauritus City center. Mr. Langdon, can I assume that the Harbor City trading center has rebelled?”

Kayden frowned slightly and said quietly, “Mr. Laine, I hope you understand that we are collaborators. I am not your courtier, and you are not the emperor.”

Jasper sneered. “This was the agreed upon framework for cooperation. And now you’re telling me about courtiers and emperors? Do you think this is meaningful?”

Kayden suppressed his anger and said, “I hope you can understand my dilemma.”

“Just half an hour ago, ExxonMobil contacted me. They asked me to abandon this action against ExxonMobil. I did not agree to their request after considering it.”

Jasper raised his eyebrows and said, “So you agreed to their other requirements, right?”

Kayden’s breath hitched and after a moment of silence, he said, “I’m still going to tell you the same thing. I hope you can understand my dilemma.”

“Certainly.”

“If you can’t understand, I can’t help it either.”

“But regardless, I will not do anything treacherous.”

After speaking, Kayden directly hung up the phone. Jasper sat on the sofa after putting down the phone slowly.

Even though there was no expression on his face, his brain was thinking hard at that moment.

Things were trickier than he thought, but Jasper was not so angry now.
