Logically speaking, Walter Wave is not a match for Ashton in terms of potential or strength, so why did Walter Wave Real Estate emerge victorious in the end?
Could it be... this has something to do with my father?! No! Impossible!
Kris Cooper immediately denied this conjecture. He knew his father's style. His father always preferred direct confrontations. Even if he truly wanted to take over Walter Wave, he wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
But, what if?!
Objectively speaking, if Walter Wave were to fall, it would be entirely beneficial to Ashton Real Estate. Ashton Real Estate currently controlled most of Imperial City's real estate, a fact that was not unrelated to Walter Wave's bankruptcy.
Recalling what his father had specifically asked him during dinner, Kris Cooper felt a flicker of uncertainty.
He placed the documents on the table, opened a drawer, and took out a cigarette, putting it to his lips. He then picked up his phone and found his father's number.
