Life at The Top novel Chapter 655

On the other end of the video call, Anna’s background showed that the sun was shining where she was. She was sitting in an office, her delicate fingers fiddling with a pencil as she rebuked him.

Jasper said somewhat embarrassedly, “I’ve been really busy. A lot has happened.”

“My dad told me all about it. Everything’s been taken care of now, right?” Anna asked as she smiled slightly.

As he nodded, Jasper was still thinking about how he should bring up the topic when he heard Anna say, “So tell me, how can I help you?”

“How did you know?” Jasper asked in surprise.

Anna’s flirtatious behavior was evident even though she was thousands of miles away. She stared at Jasper with her beautiful eyes and said, “I know you better than you think I do.”

Seeing how his goal had been exposed, Jasper gave up trying to be secretive and said, “I remember you once told me you had a friend who’s part of the Sentel family?”

Anna nodded and said, “That’s right. She’s the third granddaughter of Sentel Corporation’s current president, Kit Lang. We’re on pretty good terms.”

Jasper hurriedly said, “I was hoping you could introduce us.”

Anna said in surprise, “You want to meet her? That might be a challenge.”

“What’s wrong?” Jasper asked as he frowned.

“She just left for Greece last week and won’t be back for another month.

“But can you tell me what’s going on?” Anna asked.

Jasper did not hide anything from her and told her his objective, “I’m planning to buy the patent for MP3 players from Sentel Corporation.”

“You’ve been intercepted?” Anna asked as she raised an eyebrow.

“I’ll help you get in touch with Sentel, it shouldn’t be a problem. But you can’t just ignore the fact that you’ve been intercepted. Do you have any ideas yet?”

“Seems like I can’t fool you,” Jasper said as he smiled.

“It’ll be impossible for me to get the patent from Damond now. Since that’s the case, I can still obtain authorization to upgrade the MP3 players. By promising to upgrade and develop the technology used in MP3 players, Damond will waiver his rights to the patent.

“The technology used to produce MP3 players isn’t that advanced. It can easily become MP4 or MP5 players if we just change the design slightly and conduct a little product iteration. That way, not only can I dodge past the patent required for MP3 players, but I can also force the person who intercepted me into a dead end.”

“We’ll see who’s the embarrassed one when that happens,” Anna said happily as she immediately caught onto Jasper’s train of thought.

Jasper’s eyes shone as he said slowly, “That’s right, but Damond only holds 50% of the patent’s ownership and priority rights. Thus, the 50% of rights that Sentel holds to the patent is key!”
