Life at The Top
Chapter 2103

The little prince said with a smile, "I knew it wasn't that simple. Okay, don't worry, I'll have someone look into it immediately."

On the other hand, after Rio's assassination attempt on Dean was revealed, he was worried that Jasper would settle accounts with him afterward. Hence, he quickly sold his assets in Swallow Capital and got ready to flee abroad with his family. However, before he could get to the airport, he was stopped by someone while he was on his way. Then, he was taken to a villa on the outskirts of Swallow Capital.

"Go in!"

With his head covered, Rio was pushed into the hall before his hood was taken off.

There, he saw Jasper sitting on the chair in front of him before his face changed greatly with fright.

"You... Jasper... Why are you here? Didn't you already go to Harbor City? Why are you here?"

Looking at. Rio who looked like he had just seen a ghost, Jasper's mouth curled into a sarcastic grin.

"So, you specifically targeted Dean while I wasn't in Swallow Capital, yeah?"

Rio shuddered when he heard the words. He did not expect Jasper to find out everything so quickly. However, he refused to admit it.

"No, I don't know anything! This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"Oh, does it really have nothing to do with you?" Jasper glanced at him coldly.

Rio lowered his head. He was feeling so guilty that he was afraid to look Jasper in the eyes. The truth about Dean's assassination could not be more evident. Right now, Rio was relying on luck. He hoped he could muddle through and cover it up, but he underestimated Jasper's methods.

Jasper did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he snapped his fingers.

Soon Julian came in from the door to report to him.

"Mr. Laine, it's done... Rio had already transferred all his domestic assets to Swiss banks overseas before the incident surrounding President Dean of Haddock. Plus, his younger brother is also currently doing the transfer. However, as of now, all the properties he transferred out have been frozen by JW Group through special means."

After Jasper heard that, he nodded with satisfaction. "Good, you guys have done well in this matter."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Rio, who was still relying on luck, suddenly looked extremely devastated. He raised his head and looked at Jasper in disbelief before saying loudly, "No! How is this possible? My money has already been transferred to the Swiss bank. How could you have frozen it?"

A grim smile appeared on the corner of Jasper's mouth and he said slowly, "If you can find loopholes to carry out illegal business, then Why can't I?"

Rio was at a loss for words and his heart also started panicking. Before that, the reason why he dared to assassinate Dean was undoubtedly the fact that he still had a huge sum of money in his hand. Even if he could no longer return to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, he and his family could live a life without worrying about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. However, now, his last escape path had been blocked by Jasper. He did not expect this at all.

When one was pushed to a certain point, they tended to become hysterical.

Rio suddenly stood up and angrily accused Jasper, "This is an internal matter of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce and a personal grudge between me and Dean! Why do you keep interfering?!" After he said that, Rio suddenly sneered.

"I know why you're helping Dean. It's because you want to grip the Haddock Chamber of Commerce firmly in your hands and make it your accessory. But are you so sure that Dean won't betray you one day? It's better to negotiate a partnership with me compared to collaborating with Dean. I can help you reach your goals too."

After he heard this, Jasper just raised his eyebrows and looked at Rio playfully. However, he did not speak.

Rio continued, "Dean is too young, and you might not be able to control him in the future. Why don't we work together, and you help me return to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce? After I become the president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, I Will take you as my only guide. What do you think?"

Jasper was silent for a moment after hearing Rio's words. The hall fell silent for a while as well. However, in the next second, he suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha!"

It was as if he had heard some extremely funny joke.

As Rio watched him, he gradually furrowed his eyebrows and questioned in displeasure. "Jasper, what is the meaning of this?"
