Life at The Top novel Chapter 2034

This time, the United States government asked Paulson to negotiate because of the Rothschild surname. As long as he was here, Jasper would have to show him some respect regardless of the situation.

“What?” Soros looked at Paulson in surprise.

When they were on the way here, they said that this was going to be done according to the contract, but now there were differences in opinion.

“We can accept Jasper taking the money back and going back to protect the stock market, but if we have to stop sniping at Jasper, then how can we continue with the game?”

Soros looked offended.

“It’s better for you to come up with a good decision. After all… What we want now are results.” After saying that, Jasper looked at Ford again.

Ford had not said anything ever since he came in. This person also had a certain prestige in the United States, and it was impossible for him to attend just as a decoration.

“Soros, we came here to put an end to this matter, not to agitate it.”

“Ford and I agree with Laine’s request.” After Paulson finished speaking, he stopped talking as if it was not a discussion, but an order.

“Well… Since you guys have made a decision, then I won’t say anything.”

Soros kept his mouth shut, but there was a look of unwillingness in his eyes.

Jasper glanced at the three of them. Soros was angry while Ford was expressionless and not showing any emotion. Only Paulson was smiling the whole time. This kind of person was the most terrifying as they would never show how they truly felt.

“Since you three have no other questions, then this is settled.”

Paulson nodded and the contract was finally settled. The long-running financial war had also come to an end. However, Jasper still had a trace of unease in his heart. On the surface, there was indeed no problem, but no one knew what was going on behind the scenes.

“Since this matter has been resolved, then we will go back now,” Paulson said to everyone.

“Okay, we’ll see each other if there’s an opportunity in the future.”

Jasper did not ask them to stay. After the two looked at each other, they both clearly understood each other’s intentions.

Ford brushed past Jasper.

“Jasper, will you be able to maintain your current prestige in the future?” His voice was not loud, but Jasper could hear it clearly.

Jasper looked at Ford’s back and smiled lightly. “The new century has only just begun.”

After the group from the United States left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Celine read what was in his mind at a glance.

“Stop looking at it. There is no problem with this contract, not to mention I have already recorded it all.” After speaking, she took out a voice recorder and put it on the table. Then, she passed it to Jasper.

“No matter what, we already have a result. It is still a great achievement regardless of the outcome.”

“You probably don’t have to worry about the things that are coming. I wonder how the people over at Swallow Capital will reward you,” Celine said.

Jasper never thought about this. He saved Harbor Stocks out of the goodness of his heart.

“There’s nothing to be thankful for, in other words, this is what I should do. Although it sounds like I’m bragging, even if it were someone else who was standing here and not me, Jasper Laine, they would still do the same. Somerland’s property can’t be taken by others, not even a tiny bit of it.”

Upon hearing this, Celine fell silent. She did not quite agree with what Jasper just said. She felt that if someone else stood in Jasper’s shoes, they would not necessarily make the same choice as Jasper… Jasper did not have a huge family background or savage and cruel ambitions. Everything he had seemed to be just right.

“You’ve done something great nevertheless, just wait for the news from Swallow Capital.

“Since Anna has left, she might have gone back to report the news. After some time, Swallow Capital will definitely reward you with something grand.”

“Whatever. It’s better to be happy and carefree at this time.” Jasper spread his arms and tipped his head back. He stretched and looked as if he had just woken up from a long dream.

Celine smiled and looked at him helplessly…
