Life at The Top novel Chapter 1277

Ward sat on the chair limply and looked at Jasper with fear.

His mouth twitched a few times as he wanted to beg Jasper for mercy, but nothing came out despite the words being on the tip of his tongue.

In the end, Ward simply looked at Eddie and said with a sob.

“Ed… Save me…”

Edie clenched his jaw. He wanted nothing more than to beat Ward to death now, but despite all this, the man was still his brother.

At this thought, Edie mustered the courage to tell Jasper, “This is really a misunderstanding, Mr. Laine.”

Jasper sat at the front of the meeting room and placed his interlocked fingers under his chin. He replied with a crescent eyed smile, “A misunderstanding? I thought you two came to file a lawsuit against JW?”

“After all, as you said before, it’s written in black and white on the contract. Either JW pays the compensation according to the contract, or you’ll sue us until we’re broke. What misunderstandings can there be?”

The comer of Edie’ s lips twitched twice at Jasper’s words.

He chuckled wryly and replied, “There’s no point in hiding this from you since it’s gotten to this point, Mr. Laine. My brother was the one who urged me to come here, and we did discuss it among ourselves. However, we only did that to seem threatening. There’s no truth behind the statement.”

“We thought that you’d compromise because didn’t know about what happened and wouldn’t want to blow up the issue so as not to affect your employees.”

“Still, this incident was caused because my brother and I were tempted. My brother’s told me about this before and I’ve been thinking that since it’s just a bit of rebate, perhaps we could all just turn a blind eye and move on. I didn’t expect this incident to develop to this point.”

After hearing so much from Edie, Jasper asked calmly, “Then are you going to sue us or not?”

Edie quickly replied, “No, definitely not. ”

Edie kicked Ward harshly and scolded, “Mr. Laine asked you a question! Did you go dumb?”

Ward replied to Jasper with a sob, “I was blind, Mr. Laine, I’m sorry for starting a conflict and offending you. Please forgive me, I promise I won’t dare to sue you anymore. I’ll stay far far away, and I’ll never anger you again.”
