“Not to mention that you tried to secretly skip half of the loan process before the company was even substantively established. I’m sure there’s no need for me to specify how you planned to use the loan and how you planned to set me up, right?”
Jasper smiled and pointed at the group of stern-looking officers, saying, “I trust them. They wouldn’t take action without concrete evidence, which implies that they’ve done a very extensive and detailed investigation. After all, the head of the Monty family is a prominent figure in Southeast Province. It wouldn’t be right if they were to arrest falsely.”
There was not a shred of emotion in the stern middle-aged man’s face as he spoke, “Since we’ve already decided to take action, then we wouldn’t be arresting the wrong person. Conrad Monty, would you like to come with us yourself or should we bring you away by force?”
This was as rude as they could be.
Conrad’s superior status was the only reason he was being given such special treatment by these people working in special departments like this. Anyone else would have been arrested and dragged to the station without the chance to do so much blabbering.
Still, since they were taking action, it was without a doubt that they would be leaving with Conrad in tow.
Conrad’s eyes flared with anger and fear. He was overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. He never thought that after all he had done, he would land himself behind bars in the end.
This explained why Jasper did not have a reaction when the incident regarding the partnered company came to light. Jasper’s lack of activity was not in line with Conrad’s understanding of Jasper.
It had not made sense to Conrad then, but he did not dwell on the matter as the follow-up plan to attack Sena’s share prices was much more important.
Jasper’s counter-attack finally appeared now.
“You never once gave up taking revenge on me, Jasper! You’ve been preparing in secret all this while! Fine, you win!” Conrad ground his teeth and growled.
