Life at The Top novel Chapter 1183

The president of the branch frowned slightly when he heard Prince.

They were in ICBS and he was the president here. He was the host of this meeting.

No matter how powerful Prince was and how influential his family was, he should still show common respect for the president of this branch instead of making the situation awkward for him.

Despite being furious, the president thought about Prince’s character and ended up Sighing instead.

“Mr. Laine, I’m sure Vice President Vita already told you that today’s meeting was suggested by the other two vice presidents. They’ve requested that we temporarily end our cooperation with you before the online payment policy is issued by the higher-ups.”

“I am well aware.”

Jasper looked meaningfully at the two other vice presidents who dared not meet his gaze and said calmly.

As a first-grade branch, the ICBS Waterhoof City branch operated with one president and three vice-presidents.

Unsurprisingly, Prince had long won over the two other vice presidents. Otherwise, they would never dare to make a suggestion that would offend Jasper.

The president of the branch knew about the shady business underneath, and he also knew that this was Prince’s way of attacking Jasper. He sighed and continued, “Our job isn’t easy either, Mr. Laine, and I hope you can understand where we’re coming from.”

“Of course. You have protocols to follow, after all. It’s only normal that you decide to hold a meeting when two vice presidents have suggested the same thing at the same time,” Jasper said with a crescent-eyed smile.

Before this he had to deal with Prince’s arrogance and domineering attitude, now he was faced with Jasper’s understanding and generosity.

Comparing the two, the president’s favor toward Jasper increased exponentially.

‘See, this is how successful people should act. It makes sense that he’s achieved so much despite being so young. Unlike some trust-fund children who only know how to be arrogant.’

Despite what he sincerely thought, the president did not dare show any of it on his expression.

“Haha. I don’t know whether to call you brave or stupid, Jasper. You know that you’re going to lose, but you’ve still come here to let yourself be humiliated.”

Prince glared at Jasper and laughed out loud.

“I’d hide at home and never come out if I were you. At least use your brain and think. The fact that I can sit here today means I’m one hundred percent certain that I’d get your partnership terminated. When that happens, your bullsh*t JW Payment will be nothing more than a huge joke!”

“JW Payment that had only been officially launched for a day immediately loses its partnership with ICBS the next. How are you going to keep your head held up after this, Jasper? Hahahaha!”

“You’re so certain that you’ll win?” Jasper asked.

Prince glanced at Vita’s expressionless face meaningfully and laughed out loud. “You’re still too young, Jasper. So what if you were lucky and you made a bit of money? The most complex thing in society is still the human psyche. Who do you think you are to play mind games?

“Don’t understand what I mean? That’s alright, I’m sure you’ll understand soon enough. I can’t wait to see the interesting look on your face then.”

“You’ll find out very soon that I’ve already got you right in the palm of my hand without your knowledge. You think you can escape my control? You must be naive to think so!”

Prince then turned to the president and said indifferently, “What are you waiting for? Get to it already!”

This chiding tone instantly caused the president’s anger to spike to its limits. He pushed his distaste down and said solemnly, “If that’s the case, then let’s not waste any time. Let’s get to voting then.”
