Life at The Top novel Chapter 689

Jasper smiled. “Are you hurt?”

Chad shook his head. “You saved me at that crucial moment so I just got a small nick in my arm. I’m so sorry, Mr. Laine!”

Chad had just spoken when the woman beside him fell to her knees before Jasper and sobbed. “You’re our family’s savior, Mr. Laine. I don’t know how to thank you for what you’ve done!”

Jasper quickly gestured for Wendy to help the woman up before he smiled and spoke, “You must be Mrs. Wright, then?”

“No, please, call me by my name, Mr. Laine. I’m Alina Tyler.”

“Chad’s older than me by quite a bit. It’s only right I call you Mrs. Wright.

“It’s not that big of a deal, actually. I’m awake now, aren’t I?”

Jasper then turned to Chad. “What has been going on outside these two days?”

Chad sighed. “A lot of people have their eyes on you now. But at the same time, that’s also all the extent of it. Marcus was supposed to pay the 950 million yesterday but he didn’t, and the city government didn’t react either.”

“So they’re all waiting to see if I would make it out alive or not, hmm?” Jasper commented indifferently.

“I suppose my waking up would disappoint quite a few of them.”

“Jasp,” Wendy called out.

Jasper turned to look at her.

Wendy spoke with a slightly weird expression, “I actually came here on Henry’s private plane. He’s been here this entire time too, but I think he found out that the people who hurt you are in the same hospital. They’re in the other inpatient building. Around ten minutes before you woke up, he brought Fallon and went over.”

Jasper was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“There’s nothing wrong with Henry teaching them a lesson. Plus, he has Fallon with him. He’ll be fine,” Wendy spoke with a pout.
