After hearing Jasper’s words, Hector and Jacob felt rather touched.
Flattered, Hector immediately plastered a smile across his face. “It’s all thanks to your detailed plan, Mr. Laine. We were just doing as you said. We didn’t do much,” he said.
Jasper smiled and replied, “Although I was the one who prepared the script, you guys needed to act your part well for this to work. Otherwise, this act wouldn’t have succeeded.
“According to our agreement, you guys can take 30% of the 500 million dollars that Sebastian Walker lost tonight, and the rest will be transferred to the account that I have given you guys by tomorrow.”
Hector and Jacob felt their eyes twitch after listening to what Jasper said.
They were not shocked because the sum was too small. Rather, it was too large.
They had previously thought that it would be good enough if they managed to squeeze out a hundred million dollars from Sebastian Walker via his gambling. In that case, they would get 30% of it, which would amount to thirty million dollars. It was not a large sum.
However, they had obtained 500 million dollars now. 30% of the sum was more than a hundred million dollars. They did not dare to ask for such a large sum of money.
“Mr. Laine, that’s way too much. We didn’t do much. Why don’t we take 10%…”
Jasper interjected Hector while he was speaking. “There’s no need for this. I told you that I’d give you the money. No matter how much the amount, I’ll give you the share that we agreed upon. This is what the two of you deserve. Jim Yapp will send someone to contact you for the transfer of his company shares tomorrow.”
Jasper then stood up and walked toward the door. “Wrap up everything nicely over here. I’m busy with other stuff, so I’ll be going first,” he said.
Jasper led Julian out of the villa suavely.
Hector and Jacob met eyes. The excitement in their gazes was evident.
This was more than a hundred million dollars!
For a young man from a wealthy family like Hector Combe, this was an extravagant sum. Although the Combes were wealthy, Hector’s personal assets did not even reach a hundred million dollars!
