Even though this was a pretty ordinary-looking Nokia, it was worth a great deal of money in this era.

“The stock transfer agreement and the proposal for Olympic Village.”
Jasper had already made guesses when Ben arrived, and the contract written in black and white that was presented before their eyes confirmed his speculations.
“Darn it!”
Henry was livid, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and hissed. “He’s tricky alright! He’s taking out his ultimate move already, huh?!
“They’ve not only taken away the stocks, but they’ve also taken away the project proposal!
“Never mind the stocks. Worst comes to worst, we’ll just lose a little over a billion, but we can’t afford to lose this project. This concerns the Laws’ business topology in decades to come. Even my dad can’t handle this, let alone me.”
Kane was frightened out of his wits when he heard what Henry said.
What family did he come from?
They did not even mind losing billions?
Kane would have thought that the duo was filming a movie had he not known that this was impossible.

His first reaction when something major like this happened was not to go to Zachary or Anna to discuss countermeasures, but instead, it was to ask Jasper for help.
