Life at the Top

Conrad had never expected to fool Jasper with a scheme that seemed so costly and elaborate.

Thus, Conrad had from the very start abandoned the Langdon family and begun planning his scheme.

In his opinion, it would be best if Jasper was fooled by this scheme, but he knew the chances of that happening was tiny.

After dealing with him multiple times, Conrad understood exactly why Jasper was so terrifying.

Thus, he did not have a lot of hope.

He placed even more hope on the fact that he had secretly abandoned the W. Langdons and had another plan directed at Sena.

Conrad, who had done thorough research on Jasper, knew that Jasper would immediately be alerted if he took action against any of the companies the man owned.

Jasper had complete control over these companies because they had never been listed publicly. Nothing could escape his eyes.

Sena was the only one that was different.

After all, Sena had been listed publicly on the Nasdaq Composite. The company’s shareholding structure would be a multi-class structure for sure.

Conrad knew Jasper would maintain a firm grip of control over Sena, but he did not care. He did not want to fight with Jasper for Sena but rather cause Sena to completely collapse once he was done making his move.

No one knew that Conrad had already begun laying out the share prices for Sena, and that was the last trick he had up his sleeve.

“Oh, Jasper. This time, it’ll be a battle of wits between the two of us. On the surface, I’m using the W. Langdons as a cover-up for what I’m about to do in the dark. I’m going to pull the rug out from under you through the Nasdaq Composite… Tell me, how are you going to win this time?”
