“Finance. I have the ability to destroy your company, Sena. This will be a lesson for you so you’ll know better than to offend me.”
After saying those words, Morrison fished out his phone and called his subordinates who had been on standby a long time ago.
“I want you to act immediately and strike Sena’s shares with full force!”
Morrison felt as though he had transformed into a big boss like the ones in movies. He was about to crush Jasper to death and it would be done easily.
On the other end of the call, however, his subordinates made no reply even after a very long time.
“What are you doing, idiots? Why aren’t you responding?!” Morrison questioned furiously.
After some time, a voice rang out from the other end of the call. It was Morrison’s immediate superior, the general manager of Layman Investment Bank’s Investment Department.
“Morrison, are you abusing Layman Investment Bank’s power to retaliate against someone for your own private interest? Do you know the severity of the situation?”
As Morrison listened to the voice on the other end of the call, his eyebrows knitted tightly together. He was speculating about how his superior, Dom, had found out about this.
After taking a deep breath, Morrison lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Dom, this isn’t about my private interest. Sena shares a close relationship with Colossal, which isn’t conducive for our investment bank…”
“That’s enough, Morrison. Colossal Investments has issued a strict warning letter to Layman’s higher-ups, so from now on, you’re not allowed to touch Sena. Do you hear me?” Dom had no time to listen to Morrison’s explanation and cut him off straight away.
Morrison’s countenance changed as he said incredulously, “How is that possible? How does Colossal know about my plans? And why would they threaten Layman for Sena’s sake? Aren’t they afraid that a war will break out between the two investment banks?”
Dom smiled and said in a meaningful manner, “Do you really think the old birds on the board of directors can’t figure out your plans?
“How could Colossal and Layman possibly start a war over something so trivial? This is just a warning from Colossal. Layman isn’t going to offend Colossal for something this trivial, okay?
