Life at The Top novel Chapter 1500

“I understand.”

Jasper nodded. “I’ve made this realization before I made this decision.”

Tony nodded and said, “That’s good. However, don’t worry. The higher-ups’ attitude is clear. They’re not doing anything right now because they need to consider the influence on the international community. However, we won’t stay put if things become critical.”

Jasper said, “Please pass on my message to them, Mr. Pratt.”

“Go on,” Tony said seriously.

“The real purpose of the United States’ interference this time is to enter the domestic market by using me as a scapegoat. They want to rob us of the fruits of our reformation and development over the years to make up for the losses they have suffered in the terrorist attack and also to divert the attention of their people.”

With a sigh, Jasper continued, “I am in this position and have no other choice. Even if I am defeated, we can’t let outsiders touch the results of more than one billion people from Somerland’s hard work over so many years.”

“This is my request. So, Mr. Pratt, please convey it on my behalf.”

Tony nodded solemnly. “I will pass it on without missing a word.”

Jasper shook his head. Then, he got up and shook Tony’s hand before saying, “Mr. Pratt has been in a meeting for the entire day, so I won’t bother you anymore.”

Tony walked Jasper to the door and said, “Mr. Laine, please be careful on your way back.

“Mr. Laine, wait.”

Jasper was about to turn around when he heard Tony speak up again, “Mr. Laine…”

Jasper stood his ground and turned around to look at Tony.

Tony paused for a while. He seemed to be thinking about what he should say. Then, he continued, “I shouldn’t say this, but I think I still have to tell you so that you know.”

“SBS Bank will take action when it’s necessary.”

Jasper lifted his eyebrows and displayed the first genuine smile since his meeting with Tony. He nodded and said, “I got it. Thanks.”

Jasper would remember this favor forever.

Tony smiled in return before closing the door.

After he arrived downstairs, Jasper went to the lobby where he saw Adele in the lounge.

Adele waved at Jasper and Jasper walked over to her.

“Are you done?” Adele asked.

“Yeah, it went pretty smoothly,” Jasper answered with a nod. Jasper did not tell her what they talked about, while Adele was smart for not asking.

“I heard you contacted the little prince and Lord Alvarado recently, right?” Adele asked while tilting her head.
