Life at The Top novel Chapter 584

‘Zayden Hanks!’

Hearing the name, the calm Jasper was shocked as well.

In all honesty, he had almost forgotten about Zayden.

While Zayden had caused Jasper some problems back in Harbor City, Jasper had also dealt with him and Zayden dropped off the grid afterward.

Jasper then had to face quite a few other issues and did not have the mind to think about Zayden anymore.

He had never expected this bothersome man to appear again.

Jasper could acutely sense that Zayden’s appearance this time was not as simple as it seemed.

“He was the one who sought me out first. Seeing that he was rich and powerful, I decided that I’d get acquainted with him. He ordered me to do things mainly so he could deal with you.

“Seeing that our goals were the same and I’d also be benefitted by this, I agreed.”

Terence spoke coldly and stared at Jasper. “Yes, I set that fire. I’ve already told you everything you want to know. You said you won’t hold me accountable!”

“And I’ll stand by my word.”

Jasper smiled and turned to Terence. “But I do hope that you’ll do one more thing for me.”

Terence scoffed. “You wish. There’s no way I’ll help you do anything.”

“Alright, then.” Jasper nodded and turned to Julian. “Contact the city’s government and tell them that we’ve found the arsonist. Have them come over and take him to jail.”

Terence’s expression changed as he roared, “Jasper! You f*cking b*stard, you said you won’t hold me accountable!”

Jasper replied calmly, “That real estate company is both mine and my father-in-law’s. I can opt not to hold you accountable for my loss, but you’ve got to repay him for his, don’t you?”

Terence’s face paled in anger as he ground his teeth and shouted at Darrel, “Do you see what I mean?! I told you that Jasper is sinister and sly! He’s sending me to prison now and this is all your fault!”

Darrel looked uncomfortable, and he turned to Jasper only to swallow down the words he wanted to say.

Jasper’s expression was calm when he spoke, “You have two choices here. Work with me, or you can rot in jail.”

Terence clenched his jaw, and his gaze was fiery when he growled. “Fine. What do you want me to do?”

“Help me find out who the other people he has been in contact with are.”

Terence was stunned and scoffed at Jasper’s words. “Who else can he be in contact with? Except for his dad, no one else knows he’s back at all. There’s no way he has any other contacts.”

“You think he has the galls to come at me by himself? Why do you think he’s trying to deal with me in the dark? He has lost to me too many times,” Jasper replied calmly.

Terence’s brows twitched as he looked at Jasper disdainfully. “Sure, whatever you say.”

“You don’t have to worry about anything else. All you need to do is look into what I’ve asked you, and I can promise no one will ever hold you accountable for setting this fire,” Jasper replied calmly.

Terence sneered. “You’d better keep your word this time.”

Soon after, Terence left. For some unknown reason, Darrel stayed back instead of leaving with his brother.
