Life at The Top novel Chapter 1327

Jasper shook his head and said softly, “We can’t be together again.”

Penelope took a piece of tissue to wipe the corner of her eyes before she said, “You don’t have to remind me, nor will I entertain those unrealistic delusions again.”

“What business are you doing now? If possible, there might be a chance for a partnership.”

Considering Jasper’s status and wealth in Southeast Province, the man was evidently trying to help Penelope.

Any businessperson within Southeast Province knew that partnering with JW company would lead to very healthy profits. It would be difficult not to make any money with JW.

“I mainly import clothing and make up from Harbor City,” Penelope replied honestly.

“Harbor City?” Jasper arched his brow slightly.

He was rather surprised that Penelope had contacts in Harbor City.

Penelope looked at Jasper sincerely and mustered the courage to say, “Someone took the initiative to contact me. They gave me funds and a team, basically set up an entire company and gave it to me to manage for free.”

“I did not know that such saints existed in this world.” Jasper narrowed his eyes. The situation felt peculiar to him, while Penelope also looked like she had more to say.

“They only had one request, and that was to approach you and gain your trust,” Penelope said suddenly, as if letting go of all inhibitions.

Jasper’s expression was solemn and unfazed.

“I don’t know what exactly I’m supposed to do after gaining your trust, but they weren’t too strict with me either. They even let me get close to you slowly, but I can’t but help think that they’re targeting you. You have to be careful.”

Penelope finished talking and suddenly got up to say, “I can’t stay here for long. You have to be careful, Jasper. Especially of Mr. Atticus.”

Jasper looked at Penelope and suppressed the shock and anger he felt before asking, “Did it occur to you that these people won’t let you go after you tell me all this?”

Penelope chuckled wryly and replied, “But so what? Worse come to worst, I’ll just return everything they gave me. It was never mine to begin with anyway.”
