Life at The Top novel Chapter 1954

The cold sweat on Dean’s head visibly

oozed from his skin, forming droplets of

sweat as big as peas.

Dean was under extreme pressure at this

moment.

Although he knew that Jasper was only

using this as a pretext to kick up a fuss,

the huge gap in status and power between

them made him afraid to continue to

provoke Jasper..

After taking a deep breath, Dean gritted

his teeth and said, “Mr. Laine, I didn’t

mean that. I said the wrong things and I

apologize for that.”

“No need to apologize.”

Jasper saw Dean turning pale, so he did

not continue to embarrass him.

Jasper was very busy now. He was

required to make decisions and strategies

for all kinds of things. At this moment,

Jasper was the most fed up with people

like Dean who would play cheap tricks

with him.

Hence, he decided to give Dean a warning

with an initial show of strength right

from the beginning. At the very least,

Jasper would let Dean know that he was

the one with the final say here.

Now that the desired effect had been

achieved, he did not need to be aggressive

anymore.

“I understand your worries and concerns

only count on me to save the market.

“Therefore, by my calculations, even if we

end up defeating Wall Street, we can’t

retreat completely because we will still

have to pay the necessary price.”

Dean tried to calm down. Then, he said, ”

The Chamber of Commerce and I

understand this, but please, Mr. Laine,

you must retain as much of the blood and

sweat of the Haddock Chamber of

Commerce as possible.

“At the end of the day, the Haddock

Chamber of Commerce is not that bad.

Everyone is honest and responsible when i

t comes to doing business. It is not easy

for any of them to support their families. I

f the Chamber of Commerce, which has

been passed down for hundreds of years

collapses, it will develop into a precarious

situation which won’t be good for

anyone.”

Jasper gave Dean a deep look and said, “I

know.”

After speaking, Jasper saw that there was

only a few minutes before the opening.

Hence, he got up and said, “I’m going to

work now. You can come along if you are
