Chapter 272

Besides that, Celine also knew that this young man shared an extremely close relationship with the top
four families of Harbor City.

He was especially close with the Laws.

Even the Harbor City Government took a great liking to Jasper as he had played a decisive role in this
economic defense battle.

If it had not been for these glorious achievements, Celine would not have decided to meet the mere
chairman of a local investment company.

“Mr. Laine, Jack is a longtime friend of mine. He told me that you wanted to meet up with me because
of an urgent matter. May I know what this matter is regarding?” Celine spoke up first.

Jasper pondered for a while before deciding to go straight to the point. “I know that Sena is planning to
get listed on the Nasdaq. Did they ask Colossal Investments to be their agent?” He asked
straightforwardly.

Celine was stunned. “How did you know that, Mr. Laine? Yes, they have. Not many people know about
this. Furthermore, Mr. William, the regional president, is handling this personally,” she answered in
surprise.

Mr. William was the one who had called for an emergency video conference just now. The main topic of
discussion was Sena’s public listing.

Once the listing plan for Sena gets launched, it would become the Terra regional branch’s largest
business deal of the year. They would gain a lucrative sum of profits from handling this.

William, who was eager to present his achievements to the headquarters, placed a great deal of
emphasis on this issue. Therefore, the conference just now was mainly centred on the arrangements



required to help Sena obtain a public listing as soon as possible.

Furthermore, this plan had only been circulated among the top executives of the Terra regional branch
of Colossal Investments who had participated in the video conference earlier. How did Jasper Laine
know about it?

Jasper chuckled lightly. “I have my ways. I came over today in hopes that you’d be able to work
together with me, Miss Maynard,” he said.

Celine shook her head after listening to what he said. “My apologies, but I can’t help you with this. Mr.
William is handling this issue personally and no one else is allowed to interfere in his plans. Besides,
both parties have already signed a contract. Why are you suggesting that we should work together, Mr.
Laine?” she asked.

Jasper directed a scorching gaze at Celine. “I don’t want Sena to obtain a public listing!”

After registering his words, Celine’s expression immediately changed.

She looked at Jasper with a frown as she wondered what were the true intentions behind his words.

Jasper looked straight into Celine’s eyes. “Miss Maynard, you don’t really want to see Sena obtain a
public listing, right?” He asked this in a playful tone.

“I don’t understand what you’re implying here, Mr. Laine. The public listing of Sena is the Terra regional
branch’s largest deal of the year. There’s no reason for me to sabotage this deal,” Celine said in a
cutting tone.

“Indeed, it is the largest bit of business for the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments this year.
However, this has nothing to do with you. Am I right, Miss Maynard?”

Jasper’s words caused Celine to fall silent.



They were both intelligent people. There was no need to squabble over a trivial matter like this.

Although Celine was extremely competent, she had just taken up this mantle. She arrived at her
current position after going through many exchanges of interests and cruel battles.

Hence, both her opponents and those in support of her were all waiting to see how she would perform
in this position.

Evidently, William was not one of those who supported her. The responsibilities of the president and
general manager both overlapped greatly, which meant that their individual capabilities would
determine the one between them who would emerge as the boss.

William would not remain dormant while watching Celine grab all the power from his hands.

Therefore, Celine had not been involved in Sena’s listing at all.

Once the plan succeeds, it would be difficult for Celine, who did not have access to many resources in
the Terra regional branch, to surpass the deal and soar toward greater heights.

Jasper took a sip from his cup of tea. “Miss Maynard, you need to preserve the right to speak for the
Terra regional branch in order to retain the dignity and authority befitting of a general manager.
Meanwhile, I don’t want Sena to get listed. Therefore, we share common interests,” he said with a
smile.

Celine pinned a deep and thoughtful gaze on Jasper. She was rather taken aback.

What was the background of this young man, and why did he know so much about the internal strife for
power within the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments? How could each and every of his
words resonate with all of her heartfelt thoughts?
