Life at The Top novel Chapter 809

Jasper was rather impressed when he first saw Wharton.

Be it the man’s appearance or his aura, Wharton was surely an exquisite character among men of his caliber.

People like him had to have generations of nobility before them, for they would not turn out like this otherwise.

“From what I understand, you’re divorced,” Jasper replied.

As he spoke, Jasper intentionally took a step to the side to stand in front of Celine protectively.

It was a detail that both Celine and Wharton caught onto.

Wharton’s expression remained unfazed as his gaze shifted to land on Celine. “So you dare go against me but you don’t dare to admit that you did?”

Celine’s face popped out from behind Jasper as she replied lazily, “Would you stop acting like you’ve caught me having an affair? We aren’t related anymore, Sir Wharton.”

‘Sir?’

Jasper acutely caught on to the information Celine leaked with her words.

This was a modern society, so ordinary people could not possibly be called ‘sir’.

This title had thus exposed Wharton’s identity.

He was from a noble family, one conferred by the royal family.

While this was a modern society and being conferred by the royal family did not suddenly grant someone more power, it was symbolic enough that it showed this man carried the royal bloodline. This was something others could not and would not impersonate.

“You’re provoking me, and in extension, the entire Welling family!”
