Life at The Top novel Chapter 1495

“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. Grandpa is right here and I’m just speaking on his behalf.

“If I say anything wrong, Grandpa will correct me. If he doesn’t then you can take it as me completely representing my grandpa.”

When Dean saw Jasper looking at him, he bowed slightly and said with a smile.

Jasper grinned when he looked at the refined Dean. He said, “Let’s start then. However, I don’t have much time so it’s best if we hurry up.”

Dean nodded and said softly, “Of course, I’ll get straight to the point then. First, I need to know how confident you are, Mr. Laine.”

“Of course, I am very confident.”

Jasper shook his hand and said carefreely, “It’s just a fight on the stock market. I never lost and the other party is just some irrelevant rat.”

Dean was slightly stunned. Then, he shook his head and said with a chuckle, “You’re joking, Mr. Laine.”

“You’re the one who started joking with me first.”

Jasper said calmly, “This time, our enemy is the entirety of Wall Street and the Federal Reserve, yet you’re asking if I’m confident? Aren’t you joking with me?!”

Pfft.

Henry could not hold in his laughter.

Dean shook his head and chuckled. He was not mad at all. At least, it was clear that Dean’s self-restraint was admirable.

“It’s indeed my mistake.”

Dean smiled apologetically. Then, he said to Jasper, “This is not about whether you’re confident. Mr. Laine, everyone clearly understands the situation right now and it’s still the same as what grandpa said just now.”

“I can take out the money at any time, but I can’t invest this in you, I can only lend it to you.”

“It’s not a problem, but asking me to put my company as collateral is unrealistic,” Jasper said.

Dean was still warm as always. He said softly, “Well, this is not a small amount There’s a risk to taking the money out too. If we don’ t have any collateral, how can we lend it to you?”

“Actually, I have two proposals, so please choose, Mr. Laine.”

When Jasper heard that Dean was finally being realistic, he sat up straight and put on a serious expression.

“The first one is what my grandpa proposed, which is putting up JW as collateral. However, since you’ve rejected that option, let’s not talk about that.”

“The second option is that we can lend the money to you free of interest with a time limit of three months. Of course, in order to make sure the funds are safe, I will have the right to know about the flow of the funds at any given time…”

“Also, if you can’t pay us back in three months, then JW Company will use 50% of its annual profit to pay back this debt for the next 10 years.”

Dean smiled harmlessly at Jasper when he said this. Then, he continued, “What do you think about the second proposal?”

Jasper narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Okay.”

Jasper turned around and got into the car after he said that

After Dean watched the car leave, he turned and went back to the manor.

Inside one of the rooms, Gale was lying on an interesting and appealing bamboo couch as he rested his eyes.

This room was semi-opened. When one lay on the bamboo couch, they could see the garden. The fake mountain babbled with running water as the green of the leaves accentuated the colors of the flowers. The view was spectacular.

After Dean entered the room, he walked to Gale’s side. When he saw the blanket sliding down Gale’s body, he tiptoed over to pick up the blanket for Gale.

Even though he was doing it softly, he still woke Gale.

“You are back.” After Gale noticed Dean, he half-closed his eyes and relaxed before he said slowly.

“Yes, they’re gone. Sorry for disturbing your rest,” Dean said warmly.

Gale lifted his hand that was resting next to his body and waved it slightly. Then, he said lazily, “It’s fine. I’m old so my sleep will be light… What do you think?”

Even though this question seemed to come out of nowhere, Dean immediately understood what Gale meant.

He hesitated and said, “It seems a little weird, but looking at the big picture, it’s still in accordance with our plan.”

“Weird?” Gale opened his eyes and said with a half-smile, “Are you referring to when he chose the second option so quickly after you proposed two options for him without even hesitating or negotiating terms?”

Dean nodded and said profoundly, “Yes, based on my assumptions and according to the information I have of him, he shouldn’t have answered me so quickly.”
