Life at The Top -
Chapter 2116
Rowan immediately became interested when he heard this. "Gosh, foreign capital again? Is it the Morgans or Rothschilds this time?"
Rowan always felt that the previous financial war almost resulted in a lose-lose situation between Somerland and the United States. Judging from the United States' character, they certainly would not stop there. Although they signed the three-year armistice agreement, it was just a cover and was more for psychological comfort. On the contrary, a real battle would not stop because of a paper agreement at all!
However, Jasper shook his head. "At the moment, I'm not sure who is standing behind Randy to support him, but I believe they will be revealed soon."
Having said that, he looked at Rowan again and continued, "That's why I came to you today. I want your help with something."
"What do you need? You can tell me," Rowan patted his chest and said very honestly.
Jasper answered solemnly, "Doesn't your family have a certain power in the United States and the United Kingdom? So, help me to investigate who Randy contacted in secret."
After listening to what Jasper said, Rowan slapped his thigh. "That's all? Consider it done! No problem, I'll order someone to do it right away! Don't worry, Jasper. I'll give you a reply in less than three days."
Jasper nodded. "Great, I'll leave this to you."
Jasper went back after having lunch at Rowan's house, then, he called Wendy while he was on his journey.
"Are you free tonight? How about we go for a drive in Nine Dragon Town?"
However, Wendy's voice sounded a little tired on the other end of the phone.
"I'm afraid I can't. I made an appointment with Anna tonight to meet Penny, the Drache Chamber of Commerce chairwoman. We're having dinner with her while we talk about the joint development of the information industry."
Jasper felt that Penny's name sounded familiar. Soon, he remembered who she was. 'Isn't that Penny Randy's wife?'
According to the last lite's trajectory, Penny extorted many assets from Harbor City. In addition, the reason why Randy could become the wealthiest man in Waterhoof Town was all thanks to his wife.
Wendy nodded. "Alright. I'm going to hang up now because I still have a lot of documents to sign. Bye!"
"Okay, get back to work."
After hanging up the phone, Jasper felt a little empty in his heart. Humans were always like this. Once they were no longer busy, they would inevitably feel a little empty in their spirit.
He parked his car in front of the hotel and walked alone on the busy streets of Harbor City. Jasper could only feel a slight hint of the hustle and bustle now that he had drowned himself in the crowd. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the front. "Thief! Quick! Get him for me!"
Jasper looked up suddenly and saw a flustered and exasperated woman in a red dress in front of him chasing a thief.
Upon taking a closer look, wasn't that woman Celine?
The economy on the mainland had not yet fully developed, so many wealthy women liked to go shopping in Harbor City. A wealthy young lady like Celine was no exception.
At this moment, a thin man with a sharp face was running toward Jasper while holding a white bag full of rhinestones. The thief probably thought Jasper would ignore him like everyone else, so he did not even try to dodge. He went straight toward Jasper, but Jasper grabbed his arm the next second and pushed him to the ground.
"Damn it! Let me go. I'm from the Drache Chamber of Commerce!"
Even though Jasper subdued him on the ground, the thief still behaved savage. Jasper narrowed his eyes when he heard Drache Chamber of Commerce.
He wondered, 'Isn't Randy the new richest man in Waterhoof Town? His wife also made a lot of money in Harbor City. If this person was really from the Drache Chamber of Commerce, Why would he come out to do these petty crimes?'
Before he could overthink, Celine caught up with him, out of breath.
She grabbed her bag from the thief's hand before kicking the thief's leg fiercely with her high heels. "You punk! How dare you steal my things!"
