Chapter 222 Bright Future 8

Chapter 222 Bright Future 8

Jake realized that the reason Clara recovered so quickly and accepted well what happened in her company and divorce was that she finally accepted that her ex-husband Robert was a scoundrel and was not worthy and did not deserve her love.

It was only a matter of time before this happened and Clara woke up to realize the reality of life, Jake was afraid that after Clara lost her innocence what was left was anger and desire to take revenge on her ex-husband as it happened to many women.

Luckily it seemed that Clara was not like this and just wanted to recover her company to get her life back to normal, seeing that Jake who was fine with everything that was happening decided to try to calm Clara by telling her situation.

"I think you don't have to worry so much about getting your business back Clara, I know you don't trust my business visions, but I think I make good investments and by 2000 I could end up earning a few tens of thousands of dollars."

"I know you don't believe that, but my company is taking care of a multi-million dollar capital investment and part of that money comes from Matthew you know well."

"Is Matthew even investing?"

"Yes, I now have a small percentage of his company stock, and Matthew's company made a good profit from the sales of the new digital camera, so he and I made good money on the company's profit share."

"Just as Matthew trusts me, he decided to invest with my investment firm."

It was a pity that Jake couldn't tell Clara the details of his dealings and the company, but Clara must have realized that Jake had indeed made a lot of money as she knew the rumors about the deals being done.

Clara was really surprised by this, she didn't know that Jake was that good in business, she thought Jake lived only on the sponsorships she received, but it seems she was very wrong and Jake could be richer than she thought now.

In fact, Clara couldn't be blamed for thinking that, after all, Jake was only 17 now and it was already amazing the accomplishments he had in two top-level sports like basketball and athletics, so she couldn't imagine that Jake had a talent for the stock market too.

Matthew and Oliver knew Jake a lot better and had been listening to Jake's business visions since many years ago, plus Jake gave many important tips to Matthew's company and saved Matthew's company from possible bankruptcy, so it was normal for Matthew trust Jake for the investments.

Even with the crisis that was going on in her company, Clara would not think of giving money to Jake's company to invest at a time like this, after all, she knew well that the stock market was risky and she could not risk the future of her company in that.

Matthew was with his company making a lot of money from the new product and could risk an investment of a few million, but she could not make herself, Clara could change her mind if she heard that Matthew risked investing 300 million with Jake's company, but Jake never would do it.

"I don't understand where you want to go with this Jake, it's not that I don't trust you, but I can't bet my company's future on the stock market."

"I know that well, you made it very clear last time, what I mean is that when I can redeem the money from my investment in 5 years or even before that when I get Matthew's company profit share I will buy the Robert shares of your company. "

"But you have to agree to that first, then when you have conditions I can sell that 10 percent stock back to you."

For a while, Clara was silent trying to understand what Jake was saying to her, after all, it was normal for her not to understand that if Tiffany she had known for over 10 years or her father bought these actions to help her, Clara would not be so surprised by that and would just be grateful.

But she didn't understand why Jake who until a while ago had nothing wanted to risk buying her company's stock right now, if she didn't know Jake well she might even think that Jake was buying those shares from a rival company.

But she knew Jake would never do something as bad as that to her, and even though Jake was a close friend and her company-sponsored Jake when he was younger and more needed, Clara didn't think it was enough to justify it.

"Why are you doing this for me?"

"Because you are one of the dearest people in my life, and I don't think you deserve to lose your company for a mistake that is not yours, if I have this money I will definitely buy these stocks, because even if I keep them I know you're efficient and can make my investment count."

Even though he didn't expect that question Jake just told the truth, Clara and Tiffany were very dear people in his life and helped him a lot at a time he needed, besides, Jake knew that Clara was efficient and a great company and worth the investment even if Clara didn't buy those shares from him.

After another 4 years in 2000, Jake would have billions of dollars in cash from his investments, in another 20 years, he would be close to 100 billion if all he thought worked out, so taking that 30 million to help a friend was worth it to Jake.

When Clara saw in Jake's eyes that he was being sincere as she began to cry, Jake was surprised by this and didn't know what to do, he knew it wasn't a cry of joy because he hadn't bought the stock yet and nothing had happened.

So Jake could only comfort Clara awkwardly, the crying Clara was having now was a bit of a relief, after all, she was still very stressed about everything that had happened in recent months.

Even if her health was better she couldn't be relaxed until she regained Robert's actions, so seeing that Jake also wanted to help herself by knowing him a few years ago made Clara relieved to see that she didn't have to go through this alone.

It wasn't a question of whether or not Jake could be 30 million in a few years when a few years ago he had nothing, but just the sincere intention to help make her happy.

After a while Clara recovered and was embarrassed after realizing she had cried in a restaurant again and again in front of Jake, she didn't know why, but she felt comfortable and relieved whenever she talked to Jake.

She knew it was because she was so fragile and vulnerable these past few months with everything that had happened in her life, and Jake was now a man and always confident and cheerful at all times.

It was a kind of charm and maturity that Clara had never seen in anyone, when Jake was a child he was not like that, and looked just cute, in a few years he changed a lot, thinking about it Clara can not help but smile, it made Jake more confused seeing Clara crying and then smiling.

"What's it?"

"It's nothing, I was thinking that a few years ago when I met you you looked so cute, and now that you've grown up you look very confident."

"I thought I already looked confident when I met you."

"Hahaha, no you just looked cute trying to be serious under 13."

After that, they talked for a while and broke up when Jake went home, he thought she looked better after he said he would buy these shares from Robert's hands, even if Clara didn't believe him, Jake was very confident in doing that to happen.

In fact, if Jake made a loan he could easily get the money to buy Robert's stock, but he knew well that Clara's problem would not be solved with just that, Tiffany and Clara had to think of a way to buy the stock adversary company that was 33 for sure too.

After all, it was now as if they were working with the enemy and the opposing company could know everything they were doing and doing the same, or rather, would be a hopeless competition for Clara's company.

So Jake would rather wait a few years and get that money without any debt if he says that in the next few years Jake would make even more money from the profit-sharing of Matthew's company.

After that the week spent quietly with Jake doing just the training of basketball plays while resting this week after the marathon, Jake was afraid of having another injury if he continued training as before.

After all, even though the system could warn before Jake had the injury this was only in the latter case, after all, it was only because Jake was overdoing the training that he always had the risk of an injury.

After a few more days the day of the Elite team's third national championship game came, the game was much more difficult for the Elite team than in previous games after the first national championship game Lucas always started the starting games.

It was because the whole team and coach Mike felt safer to make the plays with Lucas in defense, in this game David started as a starter again, but it happened again that he underperformed as he had not since last season.

So at the end of the first period of the game, the Elite team only led the score by 2 points because Jake was playing very well and scored 12 points only in the first period.

Seeing this coach Mike was not slow and decided to put Nathan in the game in place of David, David was very upset to have left the game but knew it was not a good day to play and could end up hurting the team if he continued playing.

In the second period the Elite team improved a lot in the game and the defense played better than in the other games and gave no chance for the attacking opponent, Jake also continued to play very well and still gave accurate passes to Mark and Lucas to score more points.

So at the end of the second period, the team won by 10 points and Jake had 12 points and the whole game had 24 points.
