Life at The Top novel Chapter 113

“Mr. Laine, Hugh is emphatic and domineering, so we all had sorrows that we couldn’t voice out. Now that the villain has got his punishment, we’ll definitely be well-behaved.”

Someone stood up and said with a grin.

His words got the approval of a lot of people.

Jasper did not want to bother himself with whether this man was being sincere or not.

The pond of this city was too small to accommodate his growth and development.

These people would be destined to live in a different world than him in the future.

“Go now.”

Jasper waved his hand and left the room with John.

At the hotel lobby, Jasper asked John, “Do you need me to find someone to ask about your loan kerfuffle?”

John said quickly, “No need. It was difficult back then because Hugh was watching me. Now that he’s been defeated, I have a great chance to get away with this. I’ve been working in this industry for so many years and there will be some older higher-ups who appreciate me. Plus, this was a trap, after all.”

After this was settled, John felt like he owed Jasper a big one. He did not have the cheek to trouble Jasper anymore.

However, he was fearful in secret, because he could sense from Jasper’s tone that it would be effortless for him to take care of this.

John felt that this was outrageous. When did Jasper get to such a high level?

Jasper nodded. From the memories of his past life, John was able to make his way to the second-in-command position of the provincial branch before retiring with honor and glory. It was enough to prove that he had something in him.

“Mr. Laine, I don’t know how can I thank you for this. Perhaps you might not need me anymore in the future, but if you do, just tell me and I won’t hesitate to go through water and tread on fire for you!” John said sincerely.

Jasper laughed and said, “I didn’t help you just to have you make it up to me in the future. I just feel that you were only implicated in this because of me.”

“You can’t say that. After this incident, I came to understand a lot of things. I now know that I can’t depend on the brothers I drink together with when I’m in a crisis.” John shook his head and sighed sorrowfully.

“A friend in need is a friend indeed,” said Jasper with a smile.

After John expressed his deep gratefulness for Jasper, they parted ways in front of the hotel.

After he returned home, Sally asked the moment she saw Jasper, “Why did you come back alone?”

Jasper replied, “We were in the province this entire time and had a lot of things going on in the office, so Wendy couldn’t make it back in time.”

“You should do more work. How can you leave Wendy alone in the office while you come back alone?” Sally was immediately displeased.

“Mom, I’m your son,” said Jasper helplessly.

“Wendy is more lovable than you. I wanted to have a daughter back then but you Laines have a feudal way of thinking and insisted on a boy,” Sally said while feeling slightly regretful.

Jasper sat down on the sofa and saw a few pieces of crumpled-up tissue paper on the coffee table. He asked in astonishment, “Mom, were you crying? What happened?”

Sally sat down and sighed. She said with a miserable look on her face, “Rose Peters is dead.”

“Rose Peters? Who’s Rose Peters?”

Jasper frowned and tried to mentally search for this person’s information among the family and friends who were close to his family.

“Her!”

Sally pointed at the television and sighed. “She was such a wonderful person. Your father and I loved her skits. Aside from Mr. Roberts’ skits, hers were the best.”
