After Aspen hung up the phone, the smile on his face just wouldn't fade away.
In his original prediction, Donald could only stretch to two billion at most. Unexpectedly, he ended up investing four billion, doubling his initial estimate.
He's an unyielding, wealthy man.
Dressed in a white gown, Heather expressed her dissatisfaction to Aspen, “What on earth happened tonight? You were supposed to host the gathering this evening, and most people came for you, yet you didn't show up at all. Do you realize that several bigwigs are now angry?”
Aspen patted his thigh, signaling Heather to come and sit. He lifted his head, looking at her with a face full of pride.
Although Heather was still in a huff, she reluctantly went over and sat down.
Aspen placed his hand on Heather's waist, his face beaming with a smile. “Tonight, I met a big client. The moment we met, my account increased by two hundred million. Tomorrow, I plan to invite him to the Deep Sea Dreams Gathering. He said he will prepare four billion in his account by then.”
“That much?”
Upon hearing the figure of four billion, Heather was also taken aback.
The wealthy individuals they invited from Pollerton were numerous, yet there were only a handful who could readily produce four billion. Even on a national scale, such people were few and far between.
This was four billion in cash, not stocks or real estate!
No wonder Aspen was willing to cancel his plans with others that night just to spend time alone with Donald.
Donald was indeed a big catch.
“If he really does produce that much by tomorrow, wouldn't that mean we could surpass our task?”
“It's not just about surpassing our task. If all goes well, I can even climb up another rung on the career ladder. When that time comes, I won't have to be in charge of this small place called Pollerton anymore, and you can also rise to greater heights with me.”
Excitement filled Aspen's eyes.
Nothing was more thrilling than power.
Back when Aspen served Sole Wolf, he was merely a junior intelligence agent.
