Life at The Top novel Chapter 499

Norman was stricken by Ian’s words.

“I’ll admit that you have a point, but are you really going to ask Old Master Hurlbutt in Suesville for help just like this?

“This is too unrealistic. Old Master Hurlbutt retired a long time ago. There’s no way he’d help you for such a small issue.”

At that, Ian scoffed. “Of course, there’s no way Old Master Hurlbutt is going to personally lend me a helping hand. What I need is the old master’s influence. I want to gather everyone from the Haddock Chamber of Commerce!”

Ian’s eyes shone as he looked up at Norman. “Under those circumstances, just how difficult could it be to crush Jasper?”

Norman’s expression changed. “Say Old Master Hurlbutt gives the green light and we manage to borrow most of Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s strengths, still… We’re owing too many favors here.”

Ian’s expression turned wretched as he roared, “So what? I don’t care about anything else! I can repay the favors I owe and I can give whatever benefits they want, but there’s no way in hell that I’m going to forgive Jasper without taking revenge!”

No longer recognizing the familiar partner he once knew, Norman sighed.

To be absolutely honest, Norman was beginning to feel afraid considering how Ian’s actions now were detrimental to himself as well.

Sure, they were all businesspeople from Haddock, but Norman was too aware of how the others worked.

Even if Old Master Hurlbutt gave the green light, it was unlikely that the others would do anything unless they were certain of a win.

They were not the kind to do anything without benefits.

As such, it was destined for the Hull family to suffer greatly this time.

However, Ian was currently blinded by his hatred and cared for nothing else. All he wanted was to get rid of Jasper once and for all. He was willing to pay whatever price for it to happen.

As such, Norman made the rational move and remained silent.

At the same time, Norman could not help but admit internally that he wanted to see such a scene play out… After all, the one suffering losses would be Ian.

No matter how close their families were, the Hulls would still be the Hulls and the Gardners would still be the Gardners!

…

The following day, Jasper appeared at the airport.

At the arrival hall, Jasper saw a tall and handsome man walk out casually from afar. He had a bounce in his steps, and there was a beautiful lady deeply immersed in a conversation with him by his side.

The two walked over to Jasper, and the girl bade Henry farewell before leaving with light steps when she saw Jasper.

“Bye, Mandy. I’ll call you.”

Henry waved the girl goodbye with a casual smile.

He then wrapped an arm around Jasper’s shoulder and boasted, “How’s that? I met the girl on the plane, a fourth-year student in Southeast Province Teaching Academy. She’ll be my source of entertainment while I’m here.”

Slapping Henry’s hand away, Jasper replied, “I’ll have to disappoint you then because you’re going to be busy very soon. Don’t think you’ll have the time to meet and have a relationship with that Mandy girl.”

Henry followed Jasper out of the airport and threw his backpack to the backseat of the car once he got close. He then stretched his body and laid on the Bentley’s passenger seat. With a grin, he asked, “My dad said you made enemies here. What happened?”
