Chapter 1110

Jerry's uncle, Caleb, opened a cosmetics company in Xedells, and even though he had earned himself a reputation,

the market there was saturated. Specter Corporation operates in the retail industry and has large shopping malls all

over the country. If I can forge a deal with them, my company will be able to penetrate the local market.

Cooper was aware of the cosmetic brand and that it was doing well overseas.

Since the business owner was both courteous and reasonable, the two parties did not take long to reach an

agreement. The fact that the person was Jerry's relative also helped.

When Jerry returned to the table, the two businessmen were already done talking shop. In fact, they had started

drinking.

After pulling up a chair beside Cooper, Jerry sat down and inquired curiously, “Aren't you and Ms. Loake close? Why

are you exacting your revenge by taking advantage of her moment of weakness?”

“You haven't heard? Sally's father was sent to prison,” informed Jerry in a soft voice after realizing that Cooper was

unaware of the situation.

Immediately, Cooper paused his smoking and turned to look at the man beside him. “What happened?”

While he was absent from work, the political landscape in Jadeborough shifted drastically.

Robert was immediately sent to jail after being charged guilty of not only accepting others into the army through

improper channels but also taking bribes. Since the Zane family had no other descendants, the network Robert built

in the military collapsed as soon as he got locked away.

Gerald was also sent to prison after solid evidence indicated that he had sexually assaulted a minor and was in

possession of illegal weapons.

Everyone in the military or political circles knew about the man's scandal. Sally's mother got so upset that she

passed away the same day Gerald was sent to jail, and following that was the fall of the Loake family.

Sally never joined the military, so she lost everyone she could depend on the moment her family was ruined.

Then, Jerry waited until his uncle left the room to answer a phone call before speaking freely with Cooper. “From

what I heard, the Zanes and the Loakes were unwilling to work together. Since that person couldn't make use of the

two major forces in the military, he had no choice but to be ruthless.”

Cooper thought it was only natural that Jerry knew about the political news even though the man's forces were

stationed in Xedells because of the Homptons' bodyguards.

“Who's that person you're talking about?” inquired Cooper calmly, taking a drag on his cigarette.

Although they were in Cooper's territory, Jerry still thought they should be careful, so he dipped his finger in his

coffee and wrote a name on the table.

After lowering his head to glance at the table, Cooper pressed the butt of his cigarette on the name. “I wouldn't be

surprised if this person could remove both the Zanes and Loakes in a discreet and organized manner.”

Jerry then took a sip of his drink and kept silent for a while before continuing, “General Zeigler made a huge

sacrifice on the battlefield; his parents and siblings died in battle, leaving him all alone. His years of service also

caused him severe illnesses. Luckily for him, the higher-ups gave the Zeigler family complete control over the

planning of Baykeep's development.”

Besides their capability, Herbert's eldest and second eldest sons were respectively assigned favorable positions in

the military and politics because the brass wanted to honor their family's contribution.

It almost seemed as if the entire Baykeep belonged to the Zeiglers.

However, times had changed, and so had the people at the higher-ups. Although they did not like it, they had

already picked a side.

Cooper's eyes gradually turned grim. “They're planning to make a move against the Zeigler family?”

“The Zeiglers have always pledged their allegiance to the country, not any individual. That was why they rarely

picked sides or got themselves involved in any way,” explained Jerry before shrugging. “That person has no

problem letting the Zeiglers keep Baykeep, but they have to fall in line.”

“Your words reminded me of something,” stated Cooper while staring at the soaked cigarette butt. “Do you know

that a severe plague broke out in Baykeep in mid-June?”

“I do. The citizens of Baykeep even asked for help from Xedells because they were short-handed.” Suddenly, Jerry

turned his head sideways to look at Cooper as though he understood what the man was implying. “I heard from

Armand that this matter was related to Genevieve's step-brother. Is that true?”
