Life at The Top novel Chapter 278

“What right does he have to get angry?” Miss Stone finally found a chance to speak and said coldly.

“He’s the one who tricked us first.”

“But when we were directing William’s anger to him, we didn’t know he was setting this scheme and were still feeling pleased with ourselves like dummies,” Celine said.

Miss Stone said angrily, “Miss Maynard, I told you we have to be careful of this man. I know for certain that he’s not a good person.”

“So you’re saying that I have a horrible perception of people?” Celine asked airily.

Miss Stone’s expression changed as she said hurriedly, “I didn’t mean that.”

Celine said coldly, “That’s why you’ll always be a secretary.

“There are no real friends or real enemies in the business world.

“Mr. Laine was indeed the person who set a trap this time, but did his trap hurt our profits? Not only did it not, but it also gave us a good chance to strike William’s prestige. This is a good thing for us.”

Miss Stone said aggrievedly, “I just can’t stand him.”

“I know my husband asked you to report to him about anyone of the opposite sex who appears around me, but I’m working, do you understand?”

After Miss Stone heard this, her expression changed.

“Miss Maynard, you’ve misunderstood—”

“You should know best whether I’ve misunderstood or not,” Celine said calmly.

“You don’t have to explain anymore. Since I’ve said it, it means that I’m very confident. Do you need me to show you the proof?

“Our marriage is based on mutual benefits. We need each other and that’s why we got married. I’ll allow him to be a male chauvinist in the right amount, but I hope you can understand that if you infuriate me, there won’t be good outcomes for both of you.

“Especially you. You should know your position because you’re just a chess piece.”

After Celine said that, she turned around to leave.

Miss Stone stood where she was, and her expression fluctuated irregularly. After recovering from the post-traumatic stress, she gritted her teeth in rancor and said coldly, “Jasper, this is all your fault! Just you wait!’

…

After successfully buying 59% of Sena’s shares, Jasper was in a great mood.

Even though he had spent 350 million on these shares, not only did he not lose money, but instead, he made a profit.

Once he successfully combined Sena and Terizone, this 350 million would be 3.5 billion or even more.

After he went back to the office, Jasper noticed that Theo and Zaine were here.

Logan was telling them about Dane swinging by. All of them had furious expressions on their faces. Even Theo, who just joined, had a gloomy look on his face.

After all, for these hot-blooded young people, it was not a good thing to be hacked and then get bullied by the other party.

“Damn it! If I was here, I would’ve beaten up that Warren guy until his mother can’t even recognize him!” the hot-tempered Don yelled angrily.

Hudson was focused on his computer. He said without turning his head, “Then what? Get arrested? Do you think it’s worth it to get locked up for a few days because of something like this? Don’t you think people will laugh at you after word about it gets out?”

Zaine said while feeling pissed, “But you can’t let him feel so pleased with himself.”

“He won’t be pleased with himself after tomorrow,” Jasper walked over and said while beaming.

After they heard Jasper’s voice, they lifted their heads to look over in surprise.
