Life at The Top novel Chapter 261

Jasper chuckled at Julian’s words.

He patted Julian’s shoulder and laughed softly. “I don’t need you to give me your life. You just have to stay by my side and work hard. I won’t mistreat you,” he said.

Julian nodded slowly.

He had previously come here to destroy Jasper. Although Jasper had given him 2 million dollars, he had also kept to his words and chosen not to take revenge on him.

Despite this, Julian knew that Jasper absolutely dared to do so.

Julian had watched how Jasper defeated Mark Zion and Steve Quare right before his very eyes.

He knew that if Jasper intended to seek vengeance against him, that he would easily be vanquished despite his abilities.

He could escape, but what about his sister?

Nevertheless, not only did Jasper choose not to take revenge on him, but he also treated him well and employed him as his personal bodyguard.

Julian viewed Jasper as his saving grace due to the kindness he had bestowed upon him.

Thus, he decided to stay by Jasper’s side loyally and continue protecting him in the future.

“Anyone who wants to bring harm to Mr. Laine will have to do so over my dead body,” Julian said solemnly.

At that moment, Jasper was holding hands with Wendy as they left the ward and headed downstairs. Thus, he did not hear Julian’s words.

With their financial power, Cathy’s transfer procedure went smoothly. The procedure was completed within half an hour.

While waiting for the operation to be completed, Jasper met up with Mr. Lambert.

“Mr. Laine, take a look. This is the contract for the shipyard. It has already been signed,” Mr. Lambert said. He took out the contract and held it before Jasper with both hands.

Jasper took the contract and flipped through it. “I will arrange for someone to take over later. In the meantime, find a few reliable men to look after the shipyard,” he ordered.

The shipyard was equipped with top-notch facilities. The raw materials stored there were extremely valuable as well.

If nobody looked after the place, the materials may be stolen by greedy people.

It would be unwise to underestimate these people. There was once a gang of seven to eight thieves that stole a batch of steel worth tens of millions in three days. Their skills were comparable to that of a professional transport and demolitions team.

Mr. Lambert patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. With me there, nobody will be allowed into the shipyard.”

“Has the project commenced?” Jasper asked.

Mr. Lambert chuckled. “It started this morning. Without the Zions causing trouble, those few stubborn jerks signed the agreement at once and moved away. The project is progressing very smoothly right now,” he replied.

Jasper nodded. “The resettlement compensation provided to normal households that have been demolished must be in strict accordance with the regulations. Meanwhile, welfare protection must be in place for the migrant workers. Wage arrears are absolutely prohibited,” he added.

“These rules are to be stated in black and white, and nobody is allowed to breach them. If anyone causes trouble due to non-compliance, I’ll fire them immediately. Is this understood?”

Mr. Lambert had a solemn expression on his face. “Understood, Mr. Laine,” he replied at once.

Jasper nodded. “In that case, you can continue with your tasks. If anything comes up, get in contact with the provincial headquarters. I can’t watch the project in Brac County every day,” he said.
