Victory in Life
Chapter 29
Zayden smiled in the midst of his anger. “Alright, alright, no one in this entire province would dare to speak to me like this,” he said in a flat tone.
“Zayden,” says Dawson, “Young people should not act rashly. It's the same wherever you sit here. Here, sit next to me,” he added.
Although Zayden was extremely displeased, he could only hold back his anger since Dawson had told him to sit nearby. After all, it was more embarrassing for him to stand there.
After sitting next to Dawson, Zayden raised his gaze and pointed it at Jasper.
“Including your arrogance, you must not be an ordinary person. How dare you talk to me like that? Tell me, which family are you from?” Zayden asked.
“The Laines,” replied Jasper briefly.
“The Laines?” Zayden. There were no prestigious families called Laines in this province. No one in this province would dare to speak out against him like this. Does the family name come from abroad?
“Don't think about that again. My family does not have a high status or rich. We are just an ordinary family,” Jasper said indifferently.
Zayden's expression immediately changed. “Are you trying to fool me?” he asked angrily.
”How did I fool you?” Jasper asked him again.
Zayden glared at Jasper and sneered. “Don't be too cocky, you bastard. It takes skill, not nonsense, to make them accepted by the crowd. If you act rashly, be careful not to know how you ended up falling into catastrophe.” Zayden was boiling in anger.
“Also, know your place and leave Wendy immediately. He's not someone meant for a fucking, lowly guy like you. Why don't you take care of yourself?”
“You should go and wonder, then you will know what the Hanks family is like in this province. You are like an ant in front of me,” he added.
“Enough!” Wendy suddenly exploded.
“Zayden Hanks, there is no connection between us. Who I choose to make friends is none of your business.”
Wendy looked at Zayden who had a cloudy expression on his face. “You tricked my father into investing in the financial sector. Where did all that money go?” he asked her at once.
Zayden remained calm from the looks, but there was a storm crashing down on his heart.
Wendy's reaction did not surprise him. However, Dawson remained silent without saying anything. This made him feel more cautious.
In a logical sense, the plan is perfect. It's impossible for anyone to know. Dawson is very close to success.
At that time, the Schuler Group would be his. Wendy Schuler will be his too.
However, Dawson's current attitude is ambiguous. He only noticed Wendy, who was introgating him, without saying anything. He was obviously waiting for Zayden to give him an explanation.
Zayden immediately pressed his mind and said, “Wendy, you misunderstood. What do you mean by trick?”
“Uncle Schuler is the best entrepreneur in the province. What makes you think that I have the ability to deceive Uncle Schuler?
“Or do you think it's easy for someone to cheat on your father because he's old now?”
“Do not change topic. Answer my question. Where did the money invested go?!” Wendy said coldly, still staring straight at Zayden.
The smile on Zayden's face gradually disappeared. “As you said, the money has been invested. Of course it was used to fund some projects,” he said bluntly.
“The so-called project is just a paper company you created. You just gave up the project plan and transferred all the money to your paper company, didn't you?” Jasper suddenly chimed in.
Zayden is not stupid either. He was able to create a project scheme that was so beautiful and broad, even managed to fool Dawson.
Now Dawson's back to his senses.
It was impossible for Dawson to suspect him all of a sudden. Moreover, Wendy knew nothing about all the internal details.
The only person who could do it was the arrogant and rash young man sitting beside Wendy.
“Hey, did you spread lies to everyone? Are you not afraid of death?! Huh?!”
Suddenly, Zayden stood up and shouted at Jasper angrily while pointing at him.
.
Zayden's face reddened while Jasper remained unaffected as he ate his dumplings, completely ignoring him.
“Jasper is my friend.”
“I'd rather if you were more polite to him.”
Zayden felt the flames of anger inside him ignite extremely hot and smoldering when he saw Wendy defending Jasper.
Mocking, Zayden spoke disrespectfully, “All I did was help push the Schuler Group wider into the market. Instead of thanking me, you came here to suspect me?
“The department of financial investment has always been under your management and I have no doubts about your ability. However, there are still things to do for the sake of formality when it comes dealing with the board of directors. So, submit the investment report for the department tomorrow to the board of directors for analysis.”
Dawson suddenly asked.
“Of course .. but Sir, is there anyone on the board questioning the work of the financial investment department?”
“It was just for formality. I'll be there. What could possibly happen?” Dawson smiled reassuringly.
“Of course.” Zayden agreed with a polite smile . “All it takes is a word from you, sir, and I'm sure no one will dare to ask further. If you give permission, I will go to the restroom for a while.”
After that, Zayden got up and went to the bathroom.
The smile on Dawson's face disappeared after Zayden left.
“This is really a scam!”
Dawson's tone was filled with anger.
Wendy's expression changed, and she immediately suggested, “Then what are we waiting for? Let's expose him as soon as he comes back.’
“No!’
Jasper was talking.
The father-son duo turned to look at him.
Wendy's gaze was filled with confusion.
Meanwhile, Dawson's gaze showed admiration.
“Zayden has planned a grand project scheme, not to mention he has the Hanks family backing him. Otherwise, there's no way he can hide this well from you, Uncle Schuler. They've been planning this for a long time, so we should have a plan too if we're going to fight each other.
Jasper's mind gradually cleared up.
“We do not act unless we are absolutely sure of our victory.”
Dawson nodded with satisfaction and spoke, “Jasper is right. They've been planning this for a long time. They'll just scatter and run if we suddenly turn against them.”
“Then could he have realized something from what I just said?”Wendy asked nervously.
Jasper smiled and replied, “No. What you say is very important, or he will continue his plan. You have motivated him a little, and if he panics, there will be a gap in his plan.”
Dawson laughs out loud.”What a friend you have here, Wendy! Your mind is quite complex, young man.”
Jasper continued to eat his dumplings, but his eyes sparkled brightly.
The fact that Dawson managed to become the richest man in the province is proof that the man is intelligent. Taking advantage of the problems that come with investing, it's like adding fuel to a fire by asking Zayden to submit an investment report tomorrow.
It was the smallest piece of detail, but it was all it took to push Zayden's guilt.
He had just come to that thought, but Dawson had already seen it for a long time and started moving.
Experience is really something to look out for.
It would be foolish for him to look down on anyone just because he wanted to take advantage of himself.
…
In the madi room, Zayden pulled out his phone and called the number as soon as he confirmed that he was alone inside.
“It's me. We need fast, now!”
“Three days. We're almost done moving all the company's assets, but I think Schuler's asshole guy may have suspected something.”
