Life at The Top novel Chapter 368

Jasper met Hector, who was waiting for him patiently in the hotel reception room.

“What happened?” Jasper got straight to the point.

“Sebastian Walker is dead,” Hector said in a courteous tone.

Jasper was only just learning about this news. He frowned and asked, “He died just like that? Was it suicide?”

“Yes, I received the news half an hour ago. His body must have been transported to the morgue by now,” Hector replied

“What a weak man,” Jasper remarked. “Since he’s dead, let it be. What does this have to do with what you told me?” He asked.

“I didn’t expect for him to commit suicide just like that. I guess he didn’t want to feel tortured. After receiving this news, I realized that we could do a lot in this situation,” Hector replied hurriedly.

“Previously, Sebastian Walker held all the company’s shares under the name of a distant relative last year in order to avoid loan risks. I know that relative. He listens to our orders well. Now that Sebastian is dead, Kaymaroon is fully owned by him in a nominal sense.”

Hector’s gaze flashed with glee as he lowered his voice and said, “I can transfer all those shares to your name, Mr. Laine.”

Jasper sat on the sofa and looked at Hector with a small smile on his lips. “Kaymaroon’s market value is around 4 billion dollars. Although it is now debt-ridden, there will be at least 2 billion in assets left after paying off the debts. Are you going to give it away just like that? Are you not tempted yourself?” He questioned.

Hector immediately explained, “We believe that maintaining a long-term cooperative relationship with Mr. Laine will bring much greater benefits than Kaymaroon.”

Hector then continued to speak in an awkward tone, “Besides, to be honest, the two of us may be able to operate a company in the entertainment and media industry due to our family relations. However, we have no idea how to operate a company in the supermarket industry. Furthermore, Kaymaroon is such a large-scale company.”

Jasper stared at Hector without responding. He seemed to be gauging the legitimacy of his words.

Hector’s heart lurched as he felt Jasper’s intense gaze fixated on him.

The truth was, before they came over, the Combe brothers and their father had discussed how best to deal with Kaymaroon.

The brothers had initially proposed taking the entire company for themselves. Even if they did not know how to operate it, they could still earn a large sum of money by selling it off.

However, this proposal was firmly opposed by Hendrik Combe.
