“Mr. Laine, can you tell me how you did it?” Celine asked.
Jasper smiled and said, “I told you this morning that I have 34% of the shares and then I told almost the same things to Montagne Capitals. Coincidentally, both of you believed me. So, my lie is not a lie anymore.”
Celine was not a petty woman. After Jasper explained things and she understood what was going on, she said sincerely, “Mr. Laine, your tactic is… amazing. Very old-fashioned.”
Standing at one side, Miss Stone’s expression changed. She yelled angrily, “You’re a liar indeed!”
Jasper peered at her and said insipidly, “Did you not see my agreement? I already have the 34% shares. How am I lying?”
Miss Stone said coldly, “But you said it yourself that you didn’t have it when you were here this morning. You admitted that!”
“The business world is like a warzone, and this is one of the tactics,” Jasper said flatly, “You only have yourself to blame for being unable to see through this.”
Miss Stone was so mad that her face had turned white. When she was about to say something, she saw that the way Celine was looking at her was becoming colder and colder.
Miss Stone felt flustered and quickly shut her mouth. However, she was cursing Jasper a million times in her heart.
Jasper ignored her. He looked at Celine and said, “Now, the basis for our collaboration has officially been formed. Miss Maynard, can we talk about the transfer of the shares now?”
Celine said indifferently, “There’s nothing to talk about. We agree unanimously on your conditions. I’ve already prepared the documents too.”
While she said that, Celine took out a transfer of shares agreement to hand it to Jasper.
After Jasper looked at it and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, he signed it instantly.
For now, Jasper had successfully pocketed Sena’s shares that were stranded out there.
“The money will be transferred into your preferred account today,” Jasper said with a smile.
