Life at The Top novel Chapter 486

Despite that, he sounded extremely gentle. “Who did this?”

Wendy did not answer, but instead, she raised her arms and wrapped them around Jasper’s neck tightly.

Wendy had always been pampered since childhood and never suffered any hardships in life. At this moment, she finally shed all pretenses and cried out bitterly.

This woman might look soft and weak, but she could be strong and tough too—much tougher than any girl her age.

She would try and solve everything herself no matter what happened instead of going to Dawson and Jasper first thing itself.

This was her first time being kidnapped, and even though she was nearly ruined by Ben and Hans, both of who were extremely vicious and almost sadistic men, she knew when to advance and retreat without losing a sense of propriety.

When she saw Jasper, however, she could not hold herself back anymore.

She was just a girl in her 20s after all and would experience fear and terror just like everyone else.

Wendy trembled like a frightened little rabbit in Jasper’s arms, and her extremely aggrieved cries made his heart quiver.

Guilt and regret washed over him like a tide.

From the day he was reincarnated until now, fear was nonexistent even when he first started investing. He had used up all of his savings and one and only house loan, putting all of it into the futures market. He risked having his reputation swept away if he was not careful enough.

In Harbor City, fear was nonexistent even when he hosted a 100-billion-dollar rescue plan, running the risk of losing everything if he took one wrong step. Everything he fought so hard for would go down the drain.

In Swallow Capital, fear was nonexistent when he faced the Turners and the oppression of the aristocrats.

Right now, however, fear had washed over Jasper.

He feared that something would happen to Wendy.

He feared that irreversible things would happen.
