Life at The Top novel Chapter 2

“Jasper! Wait and see, I’ll definitely not let you have your way!” Penelope blurted out in anger and left.

There was not a hint of regret in Jasper’s gaze as he saw Penelope leave in a fit of rage.

He should have dumped this woman a long time ago!

In the evening, the sky gradually darkened.

Jasper wrote down all the opportunities to earn money he could recall from his memories in his notebook in case his memory deteriorated in the future. This was the most important thing in his life right now. He could not be careless about it.

Someone knocked on the door out of the blue.

Jasper opened the door and was met with the sight of three people—Penelope Hunt, her brother, Calvin Hunt, and her mother, Susan Jones.

Susan had a snarky expression on her face. Once she caught sight of Jasper, she pointed a finger at him and shouted out loud, “Jasper Laine! I let my daughter date you since I thought you were honest and genuine. How dare you dump my daughter, you cold-hearted b*stard?! Are you still human?!”

Jasper glanced at Penelope, whose eyes were red due to crying. “I broke up with her on good terms. Please keep your mouth clean,” he said calmly.

“What f*cking bullshit!”

Calvin Hunt roared out in anger. He pointed at Jasper and shouted, “Look at how much my sister is crying! Don’t try defending yourself anymore. Don’t think I don’t know that you did this just because you can’t bear to give us some money.”

“Mother, I’ve told you a long time ago that people from the countryside are extremely calculative. His parents never managed to achieve much throughout their entire lives, so how can you expect their son to achieve anything? How can they compare with people from the city like us?” Calvin blurted out.

Susan Jones laughed coldly. “I must’ve been blind to allow my daughter to date you then. My son is right. Wretched parents sure do raise wretched children. From this small sum of money, we can tell that your personality is trash,” she said.

“Do you think you can get away like that after wasting my daughter’s time all these years? What wishful thinking! Either way, you must give us 300,000 dollars!”

Jasper remained impassive in front of their antics. “I don’t have money,” he said.

Susan scoffed. “No money? Won’t you have money after selling off your parents’ house?”

“Exactly!” Calvin said matter-of-factly. “They can rent a room or sleep on the fields after selling off their house. Anyways, they have been farmers for their entire lives and only know how to plant crops. Maybe they’ll feel more at ease living in the fields.”
