Chapter 278

“What right does he have to get angry?” Miss Stone finally found a chance to speak and said coldly.

“He’s the one who tricked us first.”

“But when we were directing William’s anger to him, we didn’t know he was setting this scheme and were still feeling pleased with ourselves like dummies,” Celine said.

Miss Stone said angrily, “Miss Maynard, I told you we have to be careful of this man. I know for certain that he’s not a good person.”

“So you’re saying that I have a horrible perception of people?” Celine asked airily.

Miss Stone’s expression changed as she said hurriedly, “I didn’t mean that.”

Celine said coldly, “That’s why you’ll always be a secretary.

“There are no real friends or real enemies in the business world.

“Mr. Laine was indeed the person who set a trap this time, but did his trap hurt our profits? Not only did it not, but it also gave us a good chance to strike William’s prestige. This is a good thing for us.”

Miss Stone said aggrievedly, “I just can’t stand him.”

“I know my husband asked you to report to him about anyone of the opposite sex who appears around me, but I’m working, do you understand?”

After Miss Stone heard this, her expression changed.

“Miss Maynard, you’ve misunderstood—”

“You should know best whether I’ve misunderstood or not,” Celine said calmly.

“You don’t have to explain anymore. Since I’ve said it, it means that I’m very confident. Do you need me to show you the proof?

“Our marriage is based on mutual benefits. We need each other and that’s why we got married. I’ll allow him to be a male chauvinist in the right amount, but I hope you can understand that if you infuriate me, there won’t be good outcomes for both of you.

“Especially you. You should know your position because you’re just a chess piece.”

After Celine said that, she turned around to leave.

Miss Stone stood where she was, and her expression fluctuated irregularly. After recovering from the post-traumatic stress, she gritted her teeth in rancor and said coldly, “Jasper, this is all your fault! Just you wait!’ This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

…

After successfully buying 59% of Sena’s shares, Jasper was in a great mood.

Even though he had spent 350 million on these shares, not only did he not lose money, but instead, he made a profit.

Once he successfully combined Sena and Terizone, this 350 million would be 3.5 billion or even more.

After he went back to the office, Jasper noticed that Theo and Zaine were here.

Logan was telling them about Dane swinging by. All of them had furious expressions on their faces. Even Theo, who just joined, had a gloomy look on his face.

After all, for these hot-blooded young people, it was not a good thing to be hacked and then get bullied by the other party.

“Damn it! If I was here, I would’ve beaten up that Warren guy until his mother can’t even recognize him!” the hot-tempered Don yelled angrily.

Hudson was focused on his computer. He said without turning his head, “Then what? Get arrested? Do you think it’s worth it to get locked up for a few days because of something like this? Don’t you think people will laugh at you after word about it gets out?”

Zaine said while feeling pissed, “But you can’t let him feel so pleased with himself.”

“He won’t be pleased with himself after tomorrow,” Jasper walked over and said while beaming.

After they heard Jasper’s voice, they lifted their heads to look over in surprise.

“Have we stabilized the machinery room?” Jasper asked.

Zaine said excitedly, “Yes, and it’s all thanks to Theo. He wrote some codes which greatly increased our defense. If not, I think we would’ve needed to work overtime again tonight.”

Theo said while feeling a little embarrassed, “No, no, it was everyone’s hard work. I wouldn’t have been able to do so much on my own.”

Jasper smiled and said, “You don’t have to be modest. Everyone has witnessed your ability.”

After he said that, Jasper looked at Hudson. He said with a smile, “Hud, are you interested in going to Capital City tomorrow?”

At this critical moment, there must be something especially important for Jasper to ask Hudson to go outstation in Capital City. Hudson asked curiously, “Why?”

Jasper smiled softly and said, “Do you want to experience how comfortable the chair under Dane’s butt in Sena’s headquarters is?”

Jasper’s words caused the entire office to go into a state of commotion.

“What do you mean?” Cameron widened his eyes and looked like a curious child.

“Why do I not understand what he’s saying?” Logan asked foolishly.

Zaine scratched his head and said worriedly, “Mr. Laine, have you gone stupid from anger? It’s not worth it to get sick from anger because of people like that. It’s not worth it at all.”

Daniel coughed awkwardly and said to Jasper, “Mr. Laine, Zaine is right. We’ll just think of a way to get it back. We don’t have to hurt ourselves.”

Theo wanted to say something, but since he had just joined the team and had not fully blended in with them, he did not dare to talk bad about Jasper.

On the other hand, Hudson looked heatedly at Jasper like he had a lot of things to ask.

Jasper chuckled lightly and slammed his phone displaying the MMS Jack sent as well as the agreement he signed with Colossal Investments just now on the table.

“I’m Sena’s boss now.”

A tossed stone would cause a thousand ripples.

The entire house went silent. Everyone was staring at the photo on the phone and the freshly signed agreement. What was left was the sound of all of them there gulping.

Zaine then pinched Daniel who was standing next to him with all his might.

Daniel yelped in pain and broke the silence. He said angrily to Zaine, “Why did you pinch me?”

“I wanted to know if it’s true. I thought I was too exhausted from working overtime that I started to hallucinate, but judging from your reaction, it seems to be true.”

Cameron started at the agreement, and his saliva dripped down from his mouth. He said, “It’s real. Of course, it’s real. It’s black and white, and there’s also the official seal. How could he have faked this?”

Hudson looked at Jasper in shock and said in disbelief, “You bought Sena?”

Jasper pulled a chair over and sat down. He said, “Indeed. Sena has a big business now, and Terizone can’t compare to them, be it talents or technology reserves.

“So, Terizone is not Sena’s rival. It’s a fact.

“After thinking about it, there just isn’t a better plan. Since Sena is so great, then I should just buy it. After I buy it, then we’ll be a family. We don’t have to worry about them attacking us.”

Did you hear what this man said?

He bought the other person’s company because he disagreed with them?

Since they were too strong and he could not compare to them, that was why he bought their company?

This was as if he was too lazy to queue in the bank so he directly bought the entire bank to avoid queueing.

Yeah, there was no problem with that logic.

Zaine and the gang’s hearts were shaking. Their throats felt dry, and they kept swallowing their saliva. They looked at the agreement and then back at Jasper. In the end, they drew long breaths and sighed.
