Life at The Top novel Chapter 557

That one phone call was enough to knock Jeremy into an abyss.

He could not figure out how someone who had appeared out of nowhere could tear apart the project he had gotten for himself.

Such a person was either a lunatic who was really good at acting, or they were actually legit.

Jeremy glanced at the Bentley parked behind Jasper and gulped. He felt chills running across his entire body.

Could a lunatic afford to drive a Bentley?

Moreover, based on what had just happened, it was clear that this man was Wendy’s current boyfriend and the son of the farmer woman he had just laughed at!

Jeremy was incredibly decisive when he realized he was in deep trouble. He immediately knelt before Jasper and said, “I’m sorry, I failed to recognize your talent. I looked down on you because of my own twisted views!

“I have a mouth too big for my own appetite!

“But that project is our family’s lifeline. None of us went through any backdoors, everything was done properly through bidding. Please forgive me this one time…”

Jeremy spoke desperately, the sincerity and look of apology on his face were not faked at all.

Jasper watched Jeremy’s performance calmly and waited for him to finish before he said, “Very well. I shall investigate if you got this project legally through a bid or not.

“If you did get this project through a bid, I won’t hold anything against you. However, if bribery was involved, not only will the person who accepted the bribe face time in jail, but you will also suffer consequences as the person who initiated the bribe.”

The expression on Jeremy’s face changed when he heard what Jasper said.

“Who the hell are you?” Jeremy asked dazedly as he raised his head to gaze at Jasper.

“You have no right to know who I am yet.” When Jasper finished that sentence, he ignored Jeremy and turned to walk to Sally. He asked, “Mom, are you alright?”

Sally shook her head and said, “I’m alright.”

Jasper took Wendy’s hand and escorted Sally back to the car. Julian, who was behind them, stood in front of Jeremy with a stony expression on his face as he said, “Didn’t you say it was an impressive feat that you had managed to secure a contract in the Southface River project?

“He’s in charge of the Southface River project.”

Julian did not give Jeremy’s colorless face another look before he turned and left.

Jeremy could not stand even after the Bentley had driven off. He had a sullen expression on his face when he thought about how his world was going to collapse around him.

Soon, two vans pulled to a stop in front of Jeremy and several men jumped out from them. The leader ran over to Jeremy and was shocked when he saw the state Jeremy was in.

“Mr. Morris, what happened to you? Where’s the person who hit you? Don’t worry, I’ve brought all my men along with me. I’ll make sure justice is on your side.”

Jeremy was not in the mood to explain anything to these thugs and could only mumble, “Sh*t, I’m done for. My entire family is done for. What should I do?”

The man who was the leader of the thugs was confused, but he could more or less guess what had happened from what Jeremy said.

Could it be that Jeremy had angered the wrong person today?
