Life at The Top novel Chapter 451

The Turner family seemed to understand that too, which was why they had not even bothered to transfer the accounts.

They had also kickstarted the registration process for their newest company, which would be approved shortly.

“Both the local faction and Harbor City’s business groups have their eyes on the construction project for the Olympic stadium. However, the project has not been formally established yet. The most anyone can do now is wait.”

Jasper and Zachary were sitting in the study, exchanging their views on the current situation in Swallow Capital.

Zachary nodded and said, “Not bad. That’s what we considered too, which is why we’ve only just registered our company. There’s no need for operations yet. When the project is formally established and tenders are open to the public, that’s when conflicts will erupt.”

Jasper sighed. “It’ll take at most one year and at least half a year. That’s when things will start to get interesting. The year is quickly approaching an end, and there shouldn’t be anything else happening.”

Zachary smiled as he said, “We plan to return to Harbor City tomorrow.”

Jasper asked in surprise, “What are your plans for here?”

Zachary answered, “Not much is happening here now, but a lot is going on in Harbor City. Many things can’t function if I’m not present. Besides, Old Master Law is getting old now and is no longer accustomed to spending long periods away from home.”

Jasper smiled and said, “You’re right. The air quality in Swallow Capital is not great. It’s not a place suitable for Old Master Law to spend long periods in.”

“I’m planning to have Henry take over the investments I made in the Mainland. Old Master Law, Anna, and I will take a plane back tomorrow. The three other families will be doing the same,” Zachary said.

Jasper smiled. “He should have matured quite a bit after what happened this time.”

Zachary lowered his voice and said, “I know Henry. He’s not stupid, but his heart’s just not in the right place. I deliberately did not place pressure upon the Turner family this time round so Henry can remember his lesson!

“We’ll have to fight against the Turner family in either a year or in six months, whenever the project goes public. However, I can’t deal with Erik personally. This is something Henry has to take care of himself.

“It’ll be good for him if he can get revenge, but if he can’t, he’ll have to admit his shortcomings and return to his life as a rich kid in Harbor City. He won’t be allowed to embarrass himself publicly anymore.”

Jasper said seriously, “The Turner family don’t have much to talk about in terms of benefits either. All Erik got were garbage shares worth absolutely nothing in a shell corporation. As for the project proposal, it was rendered useless the minute it got leaked. Neither we nor the Turner family will be able to use it again.

“This is merely to comfort them psychologically.”
