Life at The Top novel Chapter 721

“But Fabian isn’t your average person. You have to think it through if you want to screw him over.”

Henry’s words had pulled Jasper from his thoughts. Instead of explaining himself, Jasper asked with interest, “I’ve never seen you describe anyone like that. You’ve always been quick to screw someone over if you don’t like them. Why’s it different with him?”

Henry smiled weirdly and leaned over to whisper to Jasper, “This Fabian is crueler than your average person.

“You’d think people like him getting women pregnant is no big deal, right?

“Well, what these people usually do is have the woman abort the baby and then pay them as compensation.

“But Fabian’s different. This man forces abortion pills down the women’s throats with no care whether they die or not. Some had died before, and one of the women’s family was actually quite a formidable one over at Auma City.

“He killed their daughter, so there’s no way the family wouldn’t make him pay for it. The situation blew up and a lot of people got roped into this to smooth the issue out.

“It’d be fine if this was all there was to him, but as cruel as Fabian is to women, he’s even crueler when it comes to men. Offend him and your fate is more or less sealed. B*stard likes cutting people’s d*cks off and he does it himself.

“We all think he’s a pervert but we keep it to ourselves.”

At that, Henry shrugged. “You’d think perverts like this should be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives but he’s exploited a lot of loopholes in the law before. Everything requires evidence and witnesses back in Harbor City. It’s not that easy.”

“Aren’t you honest,” Jasper commented.

Henry snickered and replied, “Being self-aware is a virtue, isn’t it? This is something I’ve always known.

“But the reason why I told you to try to avoid getting into a conflict with this man is that he made a name for himself through fighting when he was young.”

Now that Henry had begun to speak, he also began gossiping about the horrible things Harbor City’s circle of trust-fund babies have done.

“Do you know why Kayden’s keeping it so low profile now? He used to be as much of a playboy as I am. But Kayden and Fabian fought once when they were my age.

“These are all stories about the previous generation of trust-fund babies, so I don’t really know how exactly they fought but I heard my dad tell me about it. It was a very fierce fight, so bad the higher-ups had to come and placate them.

“It almost became a full-blown war between the Langdon family and the Atticus family. Even the two old masters were planning to make their moves. It only calmed down when the other richest families came out and negotiated the issue. I think my dad was my family’s representative.

“Fabian ended up winning that time and it was a complete win. Kayden almost lost his life after it was over. Since then, the two of them calmed down and kept a low profile. It’s been a decade and I don’t even think the two of them have appeared in the same room again.”

After hearing Henry speak, Jasper had a completely different understanding of Fabian now.

Jasper and Fabian had never crossed paths before, but Jasper was no stranger to Kayden in both his past and current lives.

Kayden was certainly a top-notch capitalist and a business prodigy.

There was no way Fabian would be a match for Kayden if the former was a mere playboy who only knew how to flirt with women.

Not to mention that he had almost taken Kayden’s life.

Thinking back to Henry’s words, Jasper asked with a weird expression on his face, “Then is Kayden… still whole now?”
