Chapter 434 Temporary Return to Country


    It was one disaster after another. My mind was drawing a nk, and I was drained both physically and mentally.


    Jill had asked me to take a rest several times now, but I honestly didn''t dare to do so.


    The situation at mypany seemed to be pretty tricky. Even Glenn secretly told me that everyone was at breaking point. He also asked me if I could return to thepany as soon as possible. I was perfectly aware that they wouldn''t have contacted me if it weren''t because they were out of options.


    When I got on the ne, Alisa was still telling me to get a proper check-up when I got back. However, I simply didn''t have much energy left. So, I could only ask her to take care of herself too. Alisa and I had our own issues to endure, but we also wished there was something we could do for each other.


    When I got off my ne, I saw Jack waiting for me in the lobby. Jill wanted to say something, but she bit her tongue eventually.


    Jack didn''t hand me a document until we got into the car. "Harmon Group has indeed employed a lot of underhanded moves behind the scenes. They were hical but not illegal."This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    I read the documents and got pissed off. Leonard was really a snake. He used every legal move known to men, and my tiny studio simply couldn''t bear the costs of the breach of contract.


    The terms in the contract were littered with traps. They might''ve seemed okay at first nce, but the reality was that there was a pitfall in every single term. "What do you need me to do?" Jack drove with a nk face, and his tonecked emotion as well. However, I detected a note of concern in his voice. Jill gave me a deliberate look, but I shook my head.


    "I''ll handle my ownpany. I know what Leonard is after, and he''s not going to directly destroy it."


    Leonard''s greatest fear was making me go desperate. If Luca and I joined forces and worked against him together, he would know no peace.


    Jack heard what I said and didn''t push to help me. "I''ve looked into the matter regarding Jasper. Someone helped him pay five million dors to his debtor so that


    he could return to Pyrosia for the time being. The person who made the payment had his men keep an eye on Jasper, but they probably won''t do anything rash in the country."


    Jill looked at Jack curiously. "Exactly how much is Jasper''s debt?"


    "With the interest piling up, it''s hard to estimate the size of his debt."


    Jack''s response made me draw a sharp breath. Back then, Keenan did drag Harmon Group down with him over a project that cost billions of dors.


    So much time had passed since then. I had no idea how the debtor calcted the interest, but I''d wager it was much more than what it was now.


    With that in mind, why would the debtor let Jasper back to Pyrosia when he owed them this much money?


    Before I could pose the question, Jack already exined it. "The loan sharks care about nothing but money. Nothing else interests them. So, it''s pointless for them to keep Jasper trapped in Manovia. I''m going to guess the person offered some kind of coteral. Otherwise, the debtor wouldn''t have let Jasper walk free."


    Jill and I exchanged nces. Both of us were a little shocked. What coteral would equate to billions of dors?


    On the other hand, no one in the Green family would bail Jasper out or give him money. So, it seemed like several million dors were better than nothing. Coteral? All of a sudden, an idea popped into my mind.


    I looked at Jill, who sat next to me, but I still didn''t have the courage to ask. I waited until Jack sent her back home before I popped the question. "Could we usepanies as coteral? Do Manovian loan sharks know how to assess apany''s value?"


    "They do. Look, they''re not some street thugs. They have their own systems and professionals." Jack chuckled. Then, he immediately asked, "What are you trying to say?"


    "Jack, do you think Caleb''s previouspany was used as coteral as well? If he also owed some money, would he have used hispany to clear the debt?"


    After all, Caleb''s return to Pyrosia was too sudden. Also, it seemed like he didn''t n toe back to Pyrosia after he flew back to Manovia. Moreover, he kept asking for money from Jill, which roused my suspicion as well.


    If Caleb had also used hispany as coteral for his debt, then could he be connected to Kara''s death?
