Life at The Top novel Chapter 793

The Law and the Langdon families’ statement implied that Sena was going to enter the Harbor City market with these two families’ help.

While the Harbor City market did not mean much, one should remember that the wealthy families in Harbor City currently held large influence over Southeast Terra.

To those who were wise, this statement implied that Sena would enter the broad market of Southeast Terra.

With that being said, Sena now had the possibility of spreading beyond the country and becoming the first multinational internet company.

The market’s enthusiasm was instantly reflected in Sena’s share prices.

The share prices had been jumping between 88 and 89 US dollars when they instantly jumped to 99 US dollars ten minutes after the statement was released.

It was only one step away from reaching 100 US dollars.

Jasper looked at Sena’s share prices and let out a slight sigh of relief.

He had at least managed to get rid of the negative effect William’s actions had brought.

Just then, Winston Benett’s team also released a statement.

Winston Benett had used his funds to buy 120 million US dollars worth of Sena’s shares.

This statement tallied with his bullish stance on Sena during the interview.

Just then, Sena’s share prices surpassed 100 US dollars!

Just as all the investors in the United States began to cheer about Sena creating miracles, Jasper’s phone rang.

“Hello, is this Mr. Jasper Laine?” A middle-aged man’s gentle voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

Jasper replied, “I am. And you are?”

“Hello, this is Winston Benett’s assistant. He had me make you a call.

“Mr. Benett actually wished to talk to you in person, but an emergency came up and he’s unavailable. On behalf of Mr. Benett, I’d like to invite you to have afternoon tea with Mr. Bennett this Wednesday.

“I’d like to ask if you’re free to meet, Mr. Laine?”

Jasper was stunned for a moment, almost believing that this was a scam call.

Although it soon occurred to him that this was unlikely.

“I’ll be there,” Jasper replied.

The assistant smiled and said, “We’ll confirm the time and place then, Mr. Laine. Have a great day, goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Jasper felt a weird feeling come over him.

He never expected to get into contact with the stock god Winston Benett so soon in this life.

Jasper was elated, for this was Winston Benett, and the man taking the initiative to invite him for a meet-up spoke of his acknowledgment of Jasper.

However, he felt no additional excitement. After all, Jasper no longer needed to marvel at anyone else anymore. If anything, he was the one the majority of people marveled at.

Jasper was envious, though, seeing how Winston Benett had an assistant to make a call for him.

It seemed that Jasper had to speed up the employment of a secretary as it would not do well with his current status not to have one.

Jasper stayed in Nasdaq Exchange Center and watched for minute changes in the share prices. At that same moment, Celine was bringing a team of people toward the office William was currently in.

Celine could not help but chuckle when she remembered how infuriated Paulson looked less than 20 minutes ago when she told him the news.

The office doors were kicked open and a group of people rushed in.

Celine followed behind the group, and her slim figure was truly alluring. Every step she took turned heads and she entered the room enchantingly.

“You’re right, something did happen without your knowledge. Not that you need to know what it is now, since it’s not important anymore.”

William’s face paled as he looked at Celine and the group of people who were glaring at him disdainfully.

“What are you doing?! What do you mean by bringing so many people over, Celine?” William pushed aside the unease that surged within him and growled.

Celine waved a hand in front of her nose to get rid of the disgusting smell in the office. With a hand over her nose, she spoke, “The headquarters already knows that you embezzled the company’s funds, William.”

William’s expression changed drastically.

While he already had an inkling when Celine appeared with these people in tow, Williams still could not stop the fear and disbelief when he heard the truth.

“What nonsense are you spouting?!” William roared fiercely.

Just then, a middle-aged man beside Celine walked over expressionlessly and spoke with his badge in his hand, “Mr. William, I’m the special executive officer of the headquarters’ Integrity Department, reporting directly to the board of directors. We have sufficient proof that you’ve embezzled one billion US dollars from the Terra regional branch.

“You have the right to remain silent and everything you say will be used against you when Colossal sues you.”

With that, he gestured to someone beside him. “Bring him away.”

“Wait.”

Celine suddenly spoke.

Even William looked at Celine confusedly, wondering why she would stop them at such a time.
