Chapter 58

“Over four billion…”

It was a figure that would raise blood pressures and burst arteries. Jack felt his scalp go numb at the sight.

While his current boss was Charles Granger, the richest man in the world, and four billion dollars was only a fraction of his wealth, it was only because Charles was his boss.
