Victory in Life
Chapter 618
Looking at the red ribbon sealing the Hanks family property, one could not help but remember how the Hanks family blindly attacked the JW Real Estate project. In the end, JW Real Estate stood firm while the Hanks family collapsed.
Everyone could not help but look towards JW Real Estate. No one dared to look down on this company anymore.
They knew that change would hit the Southeastern Province.
In the city of Nauritus in the provincial capital, in the study room of the luxurious residence of Monty.
Conrad placed his hand under his chin as he listened to the reports of his subordinates.
"Mr Monty, that's basically the situation right now. All the members of the Hanks family had left the Southeastern Province last night. They all went to other places and some even left this country. It seems like this is really the end for them."
Conrad was unaffected, and there was no sign of excitement or anger in his eyes.
"What about Sirius?" he asked slowly.
"Unaffordable. He actually got off the network and our people were unable to find any trace of him," the subordinate replied carefully. He was afraid that his inability to track down Sirius would upset his employer.
Conrad lowered his hand and took out a cigar from his drawer. Cutting him carefully, he spoke with his head still lowered, "It's not your fault. After all Sirius had spent decades working in the Southeastern Province. It was natural for him to have some methods to save himself at such a time. If he really wanted to run away, then no one could hold him back."
"Should we keep looking for him?" the subordinate asked, exhaling a sigh of relief.
"no need. The Hanks family is over." Conrad sighed unexpectedly.
Even the man himself could not remember the last time he sighed, but it must have been many years ago. She had lived her life with confidence ever since she made her name famous at such a young age, and there had been nothing or someone that seemed worthy of her complaining ever since.
However, Conrad could not help but feel a wave of exhaustion sweep over him now.
"Jasper has given me a heavy blow and he has not given me a chance to take a breath at all. Should we borrow money to help the Hanks family at such a time? Then we will definitely lose out in terms of Skyward Aluminium shares."
"He had predicted that we wouldn't hand over Skyward Aluminum just to help the Hanks family, so I had no other choice but to take the blow. I have to say, this blow hurts."
Conrad slammed his palm onto the mahogany table as he spoke, and there was a cold glint shining in his eyes.
"What if this was the end of the Hanks family? We've been squeezing it dry for our use. How did Colin progress from the Southeast Province Mining Co., Ltd?"
The subordinate's expression changed slightly and he lowered his head, not daring to look at Conrad's expression. He spoke slowly, "Master Monty, Colin said he left Nauritus City for a business trip, but our people saw him in the city yesterday."
"This guy knows that there are other parties who are also looking for support from his mining company, so he just approves of anyone paying a higher price?" Conrad spoke coldly.
"Call him again. Tell him I bought him a meal and ask him if he has time to talk. If he can't go to the city, then I'll look for him wherever he is. He's just a general manager. We can find someone else to replace him if he doesn't listen. Whatever happens, I won't let Jasper get this."
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Alright, I understand."
"Go."
At a hotel, Jasper is currently treating someone to a meal.
It was none other than the general manager of the Southeastern Province Mining Co., Ltd, Colin Walter.
Although Jasper was the host, the main character of the night was Henry.
This little boy did surprise Jasper.
"Here, a toast to you, Mr. Law." Colin raised his wine glass and stood up, bowing lightly as he declared politely.
Henry beamed as he clinked his glass with Colin's glass. "Don't worry about your daughter and daughter-in-law's business in Harbor City, Mr. Walter. I'll call them in a minute and put my name in. I'll make sure they get a lot of money."
Colin soon became bright. "Lord Law, I've lived more than half of my life and the most important part of my life is this daughter of mine. I didn't stand out much myself, so I sent her and her husband to Harbor City."
"It's not easy for those from the Mainland to make a living in Harbor City, and I'd be very grateful if you could keep them, Mr. Law."
Henry looked at Jasper strangely when he heard Colin say that it was difficult for people from the Mainland to make a living in Harbor City.
"Don't worry about it, I promised I'd help." Henry grinned and then spoke attentively, "But about my friend's situation? What do you think we should do?"
Colin's expression slightly changed as he looked at Jasper with a smile. With a conflicted expression on his face, he replied, "Master Law, Mr. Laine, instead of me trying to reject you guys, but there's really not much I can do."
"You should know that even though I am the general manager of a mining company, it is still not my company. It was the higher-ups who decided what was happening and they had told me that we would remain impartial to the situation between Mr. Laine and Mr. Monty."
"Both you and Mr. Monty are tough men, Mr. Laine. I'm just someone who survives on a paycheck. I can't afford to offend anyone."
Henry's expression instantly became furious at Colin's words.
It was a rare chance he could show his ability in front of Jasper, but this bastard messed it up.
"Look, Mr. Walter, I don't like to hear it. Don't pull the higher-ups into our conversation right now. I have promised to help your daughter and her husband, so I will. I don't mind. But when I asked you for a little help, you started giving me excuses and everything else. Did you underestimate my abilities?"
People like Henry were especially in touch with other great people. Even in a situation where Henry's existence was just as insignificant a young man, he was still far more formidable than others like Colin.
Colin's words also sparked Henry's spoiled anger at the time and he exploded.
"Look, there's no point in saying nonsense now, so let me get straight to the point and tell you what's going to happen."
"If you promise to help, then everyone will be happy and I promise that your daughter and her husband will live a luxurious life worthy of the upper class. You know my family background, so I'm sure you know that I have the power to make it happen."
"But if this is really out of your control and you can't help, then it's okay too. I don't like to force people to do things. But I also can't promise what will happen to your daughter and daughter-in-law in Harbor City. As I said earlier, I have the power to make things happen."
Then, Henry patted Colin's tight shoulder while grinning. "understand?"
