Chapter 302
Aspen stood up gracefully and said, “Well then, Christie and I will take our leave. And I’d like to offer my early congratulations to you on your inevitable dominance of Jayrodale’s. underworld–this will create an even better foundation for our partnership.”
Atlas was thoroughly pleased with himself. He boasted, “Ms. Stevens, you clearly have excellent foresight, knowing that I’ll soon control all of Jayrodale’s underworld. Before long, you’ll witness the golden age of our Northern District.”
Just then, one of Atlas’s top lieutenants entered with a troubled expression and signaled urgently to speak with him. Atlas maintained his composure and said smoothly, “In that case, ladies, please excuse me from seeing you out.”
“Farewell, Mr. Giordano,” Aspen replied with a polite smile.
After leaving the Northern District, Christina turned to Aspen. “Aspen, investing 150 million dollars just like that makes me nervous.
Aspen exuded complete confidence as if everything was already perfectly calculated. She explained, “Christie, we’re high–level players making big moves. Remember, in business, the worst thing you can do is be timid. Since I’m representing our family in expanding business in Jayrodale and helping strengthen your branch, we need to make bold moves that showcase the main Stevens family’s power.”
Aspen clenched her fist triumphantly and smirked. “Besides, you heard how he reacted when I stroked his ego. He was so full of himself that he revealed all his cards about the Northern District’s ambitions and strength to dominate Jayrodale’s underworld.”
She continued, “Think about it–if Atlas really becomes the king of Jayrodale’s underworld, imagine the market potential and profits. That’s why I invested so heavily–I’m playing the long game. Don’t worry, Atlas’s success will be our success too. It’s a shame that barely anyone in Jayrodale’s business world had the brains to see this opportunity.”
Her tone dripped with mockery as if no one in Jayrodale’s business circles could match her vision and intelligence.
Christina nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. Lately, there have been widespread rumors about Atlas’s growing dominance in Jayrodale’s underworld.“.
“I’ll prove to that brainless widow Natasha just how stupid and ignorant she was to reject me for some gold–digging man,” Aspen spat bitterly
Natasha’s previous insults and rejection still stung–as a proud heiress who never lacked power or connections, Aspen always made those who dared to disrespect her grovel at her feet.
Meanwhile, in Atlas’s office, he was lounging with his feet up on the desk. “What’s so urgent? You look stressed,” he asked casually.
Chapter 302
Having just secured a 150 million dollar deal with the Bridgefields‘ Stevens family was another win for the Northern District. Once they eliminated South City and West End, things would only get better.
Atlas‘ man remained grimly silent as he slapped a stack of photos on Atlas’s desk.
“What’s this?” Atlas asked as he began looking through the photos. Within seconds, his face turned red with rage.
“How dare that perverted bastard touch my woman! Finley has a death wish!” Atlas roared indignantly.
