Life at The Top novel Chapter 884

After toasting the main table and giving them his thanks, Jasper realized that Julian had vanished, which meant that the latter had gone to work.

With a small smile, Jasper took the napkin Scarlet handed him to wipe his mouth. Then, he said, “Let’s go, I still have twenty to thirty tables to toast and thank. How’s your alcohol tolerance, by the way? Do you want to come with me?”

“It’s not too bad,” Scarlet replied softly, sneaking a glance at Jasper’s expression. It was as if she was worried that Jasper would get upset upon finding out that she drank.

It was evident that Scarlet was overthinking as, instead of being upset, Jasper replied with satisfaction, “Great. Let’s drink a bit and hold them off.”

“…”

Half of Scarlet’s gentlemanly image of Jasper immediately shattered when she heard the words ‘hold them off’.

However, the man’s kind and caring reputation still held firm in her mind.

The banquet lasted for at least another two hours.

Despite calling it a gala, it was essentially an event for the upper class to socialize.

Everyone seemed to understand the modus operandi as they chatted aimlessly with each other. Everyone was friends regardless of whether they were acquainted or not, almost like how men who sat at the same table in bars became sworn brothers.

Julian only rushed back when the gala was about to end. He whispered in Jasper’s ear for a bit as the latter nodded before he continued to send the guests off.

It was only right that Jasper sent people like Kayden and Kennedy off in person.

After watching them get into their cars and driving away, Jasper said calmly, “Go dig a little further and find out whose villa they went to. We might find something. Who knows?”

Julian nodded understandingly.

“Let’s go, Jasper.” Zachary arrived a little late. His complexion was flushed, and the man seemed to have drunk a bit too much, but he was in a great mood.

Jasper definitely had to send Zachary back to the hotel himself.

“You don’t need to come with me, Jul, I’ll leave by myself later. Send Scarlet back to her hotel then go back and rest,” Jasper instructed Julian.
