The entire villa was quiet.
At this moment, the stock traders wanted so badly to stop breathing.
They were scared that once they made a squeak, Bob, who was in the middle of his rage, would take out his anger on them.
Nobody dared to say a word, but everybody was disapproving of this in their hearts.
‘You’re the one who ordered this and you’re the one who made all of the decisions. Now that you’ve fallen into the other party’s trap, you’re blaming the people who’re working for you?’
Bob gasped for air loudly, staring at the market angrily and irritably. He was gritting his teeth tightly. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
At this moment, his phone rang.
When he saw that it was from Kennedy, his face fell. However, he still decided to answer.
“What’s wrong with you? I handed you the power to command them and you caused this mess! How do you expect me to explain this to Rogers?” Kennedy’s dark voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Bob could feel a demonic fire surging from his stomach, but since he was terrified of Kennedy’s power and influence, he suppressed his displeasure tenaciously. He said, “The other party is too sly. I didn’t expect this to happen—”
“That’s enough. Stop talking!” Kennedy interrupted Bob’s sentence.
“We’ve talked about this just now and we’re on the way to the government of Harbor City. We plan to host a press conference with the government at noon.
“The four rich families will take out ten billion each. With the market rescue funds from the government and the other millionaires, we might be able to get about 100 billion for market rescue funds.
“The 100 billion will be injected into the stock market for market rescue in the afternoon. I’ll come back with Rogers before the market commences in the afternoon. Be more low profile later. If you make Rogers think you’re a useless piece of trash, I won’t be able to save you, nor will I want to save you!”
Henry turned his head to look at Jasper. He said, “You’re pretty accurate. The government did release a statement at noon. You even got the 100 billion correct. Are you a god?”
When Henry remembered how Jasper had said the government would release a statement before lunch about rescuing the market with 100 billion in funds and how he had not believed him, Henry felt a little awkward.
“Your dad called and told me. I was just repeating what he said, so how would I be wrong?” Jasper shrugged. He did not mind Henry’s murderous gaze after he flew into a rage out of humiliation. A moment later, he stared blankly at him.
“Damn it! You’re fooling me!” Henry yelled in displeasure.
After spending some time with him, Henry could finally predict Jasper’s temper.
He looked mature and earnest, unlike anyone who was the same age as him. However, he was a pretty easy-going person and was able to take a joke.
The relationship between the two of them was much better than before. Plus, Henry was genuinely impressed with Jasper, so his sense of superiority of being the son of the number one millionaire in Harbor City had long been gone.
