Scott recruited a few others to start his illegal businesses and managed to do well in it, allowing him to earn more and more money during these few years. Since they were unreasonable, no one dared to cross them.
Jason’s goal would be harder to achieve if Scott was involved.
“How old is the woman from Astoria?”
“It seems like she’s just barely over her twenties. I heard that she’s very beautiful and managed to get Scott to fall hopelessly in love with her. Nevertheless, I have never seen her before; those were just rumors I heard.”
“Can you ask her out to meet in private?”
“That… might be difficult. President Murray, you should know that Scott Jensen is a perv, and he would always want his woman to be around him. Moreover, we don’t have any good reason to ask her out.”
Jason tapped his fingers against the table. “Alright. I understand. You can leave now.”
There was an old picture on his table; it was the photograph of a pair of jade bracelets.
This was the mission that his grandfather gave him—to find the bracelets. Still, he couldn’t manage to find them after many years.
A year ago, Jason found out that the jade bracelet was auctioned in Astoria, so he went there himself to join the auction. However, he didn’t have enough money and failed to get the bracelets. Moreover, he had no idea who won the bid as no details were revealed.
A few days ago, Jason found out that the other bracelet was up for auction as well, but the auctioning button in his room malfunctioned at the very end, and he could only watch as the bracelet got auctioned off with the mere price of 50 million.
One should know that this bracelet was auctioned off in Astoria previously for hundreds of millions!
After the auction, Jason went to the auctioneer to protest that his button had malfunctioned, hence the results shouldn’t count, but the auctioneer told him that it was his fault for being unlucky. Moreover, when they went to his room to check his button, they couldn’t find any problem with it.
Jason didn’t know what to say.
