Unknowingly, Jasper’s achievements had already surpassed his own.
Dawson was both amazed and delighted. It seemed as if the heavens were not treating him too bad as they had delivered an impeccable future son-in-law like Jasper to his side.
Jasper laughed. “In truth, I had used some shady tricks. I could only resort to unscrupulous methods since I wanted to defeat him effectively within a short period of time. Alas, it was a disreputable plan, so it’s nothing worth being proud of,” he said.
Nevertheless, Dawson shook his head and said, “You’re wrong. Regardless of the method that you used, the only criterion that determines success is the ability to achieve your goals.
“Winners all reach the top by stepping over the dead bodies of those that they have defeated. When that happens, people will just see their brilliant glory. Not many people would bother to look into their past.”
Jasper nodded. Just as he was about to say something, a middle-aged man walked into the restaurant.
The man glanced at the table where Jasper and Dawson were seated at, then rushed toward them immediately.
Jasper knew this person. He was Chris Quarles. He seemed to get along with Dawson pretty well in the industry forum some time ago.
“Dawson, did you hear the news?!”
Chris sat down at their table with a shocked expression on his face. He turned around to face Dawson and spoke in a direct manner.
“Sebastian Walker is doomed!”
Dawson chuckled. “Has everyone found out?” He asked.
Chris smacked his thigh and said, “How can such a big issue be hidden from us? Sebastian Walker said that he wanted to hold another meeting today in order to specify the industry standards and the details regarding the election of the chairman of the board.
“Alas, we waited for a long time, but he didn’t show up. After that, we received the news regarding the closure of all of Kaymaroon’s supermarkets. The news also said that a lot of suppliers and private loan companies were looking for Sebastian Walker! “
Chris’s eyes glazed over in admiration. He lowered his voice and said, “You guys may not know about this. It is rumored that Sebastian offended a powerful man. That man was the one who caused him to go bankrupt.”
