Life at The Top novel Chapter 1436

For Sawyer, even though Fabian had lost everything, the money really did not matter. Rather, it was the fact that his son, who had never failed before throughout his whole life, was completely defeated when he faced Jasper.

“What is wrong with you? You were so amazing when you faced Jasper. Even the elders in the family had nothing to say about you. And that was the time you and I had completely established your position and strength in the family. How did you lose everything this time?”

It was only reasonable for Sawyer to be mad.

As the old saying went, these rich and famous families emphasized the honor the parents received when their children’s position rose. Even though they were not in a feudalistic era now, within the family, the performance of one’s offspring could affect the elders’ opinions of their parents to a certain extent. This was an age-old fact.

If Fabian was useless, then Sawyer might not get his position as head of the family.

After all, the previous head should not only consider the issue of the transfer of power to the next generation during the handover, but also the issue the third generation would have a hundred years later.

If Fabian was useless, and if Sawyer forcefully handed down the position of the head to his son upon growing older, he might cause turmoil. This was something that a wise head of a big family would never do.

When Sawyer criticized him, Fabian replied grimly, “I lost and there’s nothing to justify the result. However, I didn’t completely lose. I still have some cards in my hand. Once I play them, Jasper will die for sure.”

“Are you confident?”

“I am confident!”

Sawyer thought about this for a very long while and then chose to believe in Fabian once again.

“Alright, what do you need me to do?” Sawyer asked in a deep voice.
