Chapter 1145 Deployment
Miles stared at the calm and serene tea surface without saying a word. Markus glanced at Brendon who said, "Miles, I also want to ask you, why... do you collect that information?"
"What information?" Markus immediately asked.
Brendon first looked at Miles and saw no objections before mentioning the information he had been organizing and keeping for him. Markus' face was full of confusion as he listened to the end, looking at Miles who had remained silent all along.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Miles..." He thought for a moment before asking, "Although Casper is still young and impulsive in his actions, I think he is also talented. As a father, isn't it unreasonable for you to do this?"
Even if he wanted to urge his son on, there was no need to collect evidence of his financial mistakes. And he even handed them over to Brendon as a gold medal lawyer. Markus couldn't understand what Miles was thinking.
"No, it's very reasonable," Miles picked up his teacup intending to savor it slowly, but instead drank it all in one gulp as if trying to perk himself up with this action. After putting down the cup again, he continued, "Casper has already gone."
Miles, Markus and Brendon had known one another for many years; moreover, they had no connection with Casper whatsoever so they were good helpers in helping him get justice for his son. Therefore, Miles did not intend on hiding anything anymore.
"Gone?" Markus didn't understand what Miles meant; surprised he asked, "How could that be? I saw him just a few days ago at Mr. Patrick's party."
Brendon seemed deep in thought again, staring intently at Miles as if sensing something.
Miles gave a bitter laugh while looking downcastly into his teacup which had been refilled again saying,
"We really should go drink some alcohol."
"Miles, don't beat around the bush anymore! We're old acquaintances so just say it!" Now Markus was very curious.
Looking at the rising steam from his teacup, Miles lowered his eyes slowly, sorrowfully, telling everything that happened with his son to his two old friends.
As soon as Miles finished speaking, the tea room became eerily quiet. Even sounds of dew drops falling off leaf tips outside could be heard clearly.
"I'm going to find him now! Damn him!" Markus' eyes turned red. He was bursting out while standing up ready to leave, but then he was being pulled back by Brendon holding onto his arm.
"Don't be impulsive!" Although Brendon said so, even he couldn't digest what Miles had just said. Now they saw that Casper was actually a fake! The real Casper was already dead! That imposter was Jacob! For Jacob, Markus and Brendon, who had long resided in Athegate, cannot be unaware of his existence. Even Markus, who was accustomed to using means in the business world, looked down on him for his character. As a man, he used emotions to seize others' property and even framed them. In the end, he fled to another country as a result of his actions - an unforgivable offense. However, it was shocking that he had now killed Casper and taken on his identity! That person was now openly standing before the public with a false identity!
How Markus managed to stay calm!
"Don't be impulsive?!" Markus shouted angrily, "Do you want him to continue to run amuck with Casper's identity?"
"Miles didn't say a word. Why are you in such a hurry!" Knowing Markus' temperament, Brendon scolded.
Markus ignored Miles' silent gaze and sat down angrily.
"Miles, what are you and Libby planning to do?" Brendon asked Miles.
"We won't let Jacob get away with it. So Libby and I have decided to work with Ms. Webb and Mr. Davies to expose his identity and bring him to justice!" Miles said with a sob.
"Miles, this is not like you," Markus snorted coldly. "You're just going to let him off so easily by sending him to trial? You used to be wild too, and for someone like Jacob, taking a bullet would be too good for him."
"This is what Ms. Webb meant. What she said is also reasonable. It is easy to kill a person, but to publicize his crimes to the world and be reviled by others, the only way is to rely on the power of the law. Brendon, you think so too, right??" Miles asked Brendon.
"Yes," Brendon said with approval, "Instead of executing him privately, it is better to send him to prison. It is not a comfortable place there, not to mention that he will suffer a lot according to our words. Before execution, his life is worse than death!"
Unlike Markus, Brendon had known Miles since they were young and was considered Casper's godfather. He won't sit idly by in this deep-seated grudge!
"What should we do now?" Markus asked anxiously.
"Listen to me..." Miles said as he placed his fingertips on the teacup and slowly explained his plan. After hearing it, Markus and Brendon immediately expressed their opinions. "Okay! Do it as you said!"
Four days later, Markus had a talk with Jacob. The general content was that they wanted to make their cooperation project bigger, so as to increase the momentum of StandHill. Jacob was still suspicious at first, but after the two talked about the project that would continue to expand with no harm, he readily agreed, and injected most of the funds into the project the next day.
As the collaboration with Tready Threads Finance had just been intensified, Leon reminded Jacob that the project in the east development zone was about to be completed and he should prepare in advance. Jacob was reminded of this matter by Leon, and he was extremely happy. He rarely had such a good mood and said,
"When Nia worked so hard to bring Lucia and Arthur together for cooperation, little did she know that I would be the one benefiting in the end. Now I really want to see what expression Nia has on her face." "What other expression could she have?" Leon mocked with a sense of pride. "She's probably so angry that she's about to vomit!"
"At that time, their names must be on the guest list." Casper sneered.
"Recently, Sage has been monitoring them constantly. It's nothing special, and they're still hiring security guards non-stop. I guess the threat from last time worked," Leon said with a smug smile. "Let Sage keep an eye on them, and even if one of them is alone, don't hesitate. As long as the body can be brought back, it will be fine, and if it can't, find a place to kill them!" Jacob made an order. Upon seeing Jacob's fierce and ruthless appearance, Leon felt like his bloodthirsty factor was about to burst out of his veins. He listened with boiling passion and exclaimed repeatedly,
"It should have been done long ago! Being too kind-hearted and lenient only makes them more arrogant. Mr. Wood, rest assured that the subordinates will act with discretion and will not let you down!" "Well," Jacob nodded with pleasure, "go down and manage your subordinates well."
"Got it!" Leon happily left Jacob's office.
