Life at The Top novel Chapter 518

Ian’s pupils contracted. He was about to say something when Jasper spoke again.

“Maybe you don’t have to go through all that trouble. After all, even if you find a new place, who knows if you’ll get to stay there, right?”

Ian felt a wave of unease rush over him at Jasper’s subtle smile.

He could not help but feel like there was something he had forgotten, a weakness that Jasper had already gotten hold of.

Yet no matter how he thought about it, Ian still thought that everything was in his grasp.

“All you have is the ICBS’ loan, the two ships in Harbor City, and this plot of land. That’s just three axes and you think you can win me? You wish.”

Ian sneered when he was done, but his phone suddenly began to ring again.

Ian had heard no good news every time his phone rang today, and now that his phone began to ring incessantly once more, Ian did not want to pick it up at all.

However, the display on the phone stated that it was from the hospital.

Ian had no choice but to pick it up.

“Mr. Hull, I’m calling to tell you that Ben has run out of the hospital!”

A nurse’s agitated voice echoed through the speakers.

Ian was stunned for a moment before he exploded. “What do you mean he ran out?! He’s a patient, how could you let him run out? Are you stupid?”

The nurse replied indignantly, “We’re a hospital, not a detention center, Mr. Hull. The patient is in control of his own legs. Not to mention that Ben is mentally unstable and there’s no way we can watch over him every single second.

“All the more reason to watch over him if his condition is unstable! Do you think you can take the responsibility if anything happens after he has run out?!”

Ian roared.

The nurse on the other end did not dare to make a sound.

Taking heavy breaths, Ian knew that this was not the time to throw a tantrum. He clenched his jaw and ordered, “I’ll be there right away. Go look at the cameras and find out where he ran off to!”

Ian then hung up the phone. Glaring sinisterly at Jasper one last time, he turned and left, leaving Jasper to simmer in his thoughts as he watched Ian leave hastily.

Although he did not hear what the hospital told Ian, Jasper could more or less guess what had happened from Ian’s two replies.

‘Ben ran out?

‘Where would a mentally unstable madman run to?’

Jasper did not dwell on the problem and instead called Henry.

“How’s it going for you?”

In a high-end residential complex in Waterhoof City, Henry was sitting with his legs crossed. He was grinning as he looked at the man kneeling in front of him. The man was having his face beaten up by two burly men. “Don’t worry about me, I’ve got this.”

Jasper smiled. “Have him turn himself over after you’re done. Make him say what he has to.”

Hanging up the phone, Henry snapped his fingers at Derick who was kneeling before him. “Hey, have you given it enough thought yet?”

Blood was dripping from the corner of Derick’s lips, and the man looked conflicted. He did not dare to speak.
