As such, Henry was able to say anything he wanted and according to his wishes.
Jasper took some soup for himself and did not forget to also take some for Anna who was beside him. The latter reacted shyly to what he was doing. Jasper said to Henry, “Let me quiz you. If you were me, what should you do this afternoon?”
Henry was stumped for words. He bit his fork and fell into deep thought.
When Anna was about to say something, she saw Jasper smiling and shaking his head at her. Immediately, Anna fell quiet. She was also looking at her ignorant and incompetent brother with interest. She wanted to see what strategy he would blurt out.
“Wait and see,” Henry said probingly.
The way he observed Jasper carefully and the way he tried to guess if his answer was right or wrong was exactly as if he was a pupil in class who just got called by the teacher to answer a question.
However, what disappointed Henry was that he did not get anything from his observation.
“Continue,” Jasper ate some vegetables and said flatly.
“Because I know we have about 100 billion in the morning but we didn’t make the other party lose out too much because it was just a trap you set to make them lose a few hundred million.
“A few hundred million is just a slap in the face compared to such a large amount of funds. It’s far from being able to make him lose out too much.”
Henry felt that he had not killed his brain cells and operated his thoughts so violently after graduating from high school. He continued to stammer.
“Plus, I remember you saying yesterday that the government will rescue the market so the other party must be prepared because everything is according to their plans. So, we have to see what they’ll do after the market rescue this afternoon.”
After listening to Henry, Jasper nodded under his expectant gaze and grinned. “Not bad. Good answer.”
“Yes!” Henry snapped his finger and chortled arrogantly. His entire body was filled with complacent.
