Life at The Top novel Chapter 565

Of course, Terence did not have the audacity to stay there and eat with them. He left the room with a slam of the door.

Terence’s father took in a deep breath and waved his hand. “Don’t bother him. There’s no need to pay him any mind. This kid is beyond salvation,” he said.

Honey Sarratt dabbed at her tears in a corner of the room. She was terribly upset.

Charlie Laine and Sally Lard comforted Jasper’s uncle and aunt respectively. Meanwhile, Jasper got up and went around the room to make toasts with everyone. Nobody seemed to pay any heed to Terence Laine, who had left in a storm of fury.

Although Terence Laine had caused an unpleasant dispute during the Christmas dinner, nobody showed any signs of unhappiness on their faces. Everyone quickly pushed the incident to the back of their minds.

Soon, the atmosphere at the tables became lively once again.

Although not everyone was happy throughout the course of the dinner, at least it ended on a good note.

After everyone finished their meals, Jasper arranged for them to stay in the Shangri-La Hotel. He booked a room for each family where they could stay up to three days and two nights. The decision to stay there was completely up to them.

In the afternoon, Darrel Laine, who had traveled back from another town in a rush, looked for Jasper hurriedly. He had obviously heard of Terence’s incident from the day before.

“I’m so sorry, cousin. Sigh, I never expected that my brother would do something that immature!”

Darrel was evidently much more mature than Terence. He apologized to Jasper with a guilty expression on his face.

Jasper was sipping on a cup of hot tea to cure his hangover. He had drunk a little too much the previous night. He laughed upon hearing what Darrel said. “It’s alright, I just assumed that I was fooling around with a child. You don’t have to mention it… Anyway, how did the discussion go?” He asked.
