Life at The Top novel Chapter 1006

Glancing at Byron’s outstretched hands, Jasper did not move.

“How could a nobody like me be qualified to shake the majestic Mr. Woolery’s hand?”

Byron’s smile froze but he forced himself to continue as he spoke, “Mr. Laine, I already told you that it was a misunderstanding earlier. I didn’t know who you were then.”

“Mr. Woolery, what do the vile things you’ve done have anything to do with who I am?

“Or perhaps you’re telling me, that you’d have someone beat me up and throw me outside if not for my current identity.”

Jasper stated.

Byron’s smile slowly faded and he looked at Jasper calmly. “We’re all just trying to make money here in Nauritus City, Mr. Laine. A mere woman isn’t worth straining our relationship over.

“People say that Mr. Laine is an understanding and attentive young talent. I’m sure he wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake, right?”

Jasper chuckled and replied, “This is more like it, Mr. Woolery. I already told you that Jill is my friend. Therefore, I’ll openly interfere in this matter.

“What are you going to do about it?”

Byron scoffed. If Jasper was unwilling to give in, then he would let go of his inhibitions as well.

“Don’t act so arrogant, Jasper. You think you’re the king here in Nauritus City? It’ll be ages until that happens. Do you even know what I’m using Jill for?

“She’s my gift to Mr. Welch! Haha, I’m afraid you aren’t even qualified enough to know who Mr. Welch is, right?”

Byron’s expression turned haughty, “In that case, let me tell you: Mr. Welch is the President of Softwin’s Somerland brach!

“Do you even know what kind of company Softwin is? It’s the biggest investment back in Sunrise Land! The JW Company you’re so proud of means nothing to them! It’s no more than an above-average ant to them!

“Offend Mr. Welch and you’ll end up suffering the rest of your career! That’s why I told you that there are things beyond your control!”

Jasper frowned slightly at Byron’s words.

He had not expected Echo to be involved in this as well.

Byron took Jasper’s frown as a show of fear and immediately laughed out loud.

“Good, you’re afraid. Word of advice, young man, the world is bigger than you think. Your JW has no more than slight local influence. You’re nothing once you leave this place!

“Be smart and I’ll be willing to go easy on you. I can treat you to a meal another day and we can still be friends.

“Be stupid and, haha, Mr. Welch’s fury is not something you can afford receive.”

Byron looked at Jasper and said casually, “I’ve already given you an option to back away, Jasper, so you better take it. You’re the one that’s going to suffer if you blow this out of proportion and make a fool out of everyone here. Do I make myself clear?”

“I’m familiar with Echo, he just left my office this morning,” Jasper replied calmly.

Jasper ignored the change in Byron’s expression and narrowed his eyes. He continued to speak, “Let me guess, Mr. Woolery. As the owner of a high-end navigation equipment enterprise, you want to do business in the Sunrise market. Correct?

“And Softwin just so happens to be able to help you with this. Hence, you’re willing to do anything to beg them, even if it means being their pimp and serving girls to him on a silver platter, yes?” Jasper questioned calmly.

Byron looked ashamed by what Jasper said. However, the latter was an experienced man, so he managed to regain his composure quickly. “Let’s not talk about how your guess is complete bullsh*t yet, Jasper. In the first place, does my private life have anything to do with you?”
