Life at The Top novel Chapter 256

“Dad, this was all Jasper’s doing!

“He was the one who contacted the people at Harbor City!

“We’ve all been fooled by him!”

Jasper finally found an opportunity to yell out desperately.

He sounded miserable. It was as if he had finally gotten the chance to bed a beautiful woman but it turned out she had a thicker schlong than him.

Harvey’s eyes widened after hearing that. He stared at Jasper in disbelief.

The expression on his face and the look in his eyes looked identical to the one Mark showed just moments ago.

Then, Harvey laughed.

“Not bad. I’ve been making my way around Brac County for more than 20 years, but this is the first time I’ve had a youngster run circles around me.

“You’re Jasper Laine, aren’t you? Well done. That was wonderfully executed.”

Harvey pushed his bodyguards aside and stared straight into Jasper’s eyes as he said calmly, “You’ve proven yourself by being able to deceive me at this age. Tell me, what do you want?”

Jasper stood behind the couch, using it to rest his arms. He seemed to be smiling as he stared at Harvey and said coolly, “So, you think I’m doing all this to prove my worth to you?”

Harvey’s face fell as he said, “Young man, you were still in your mother’s womb when I took charge of the Zion family’s business. It’s worth more than ten billion dollars! I would advise you not to get too snooty.”

“Is ten billion a lot?” Jasper asked calmly.

Harvey was angry now. In a cold voice, he said, “Don’t be too arrogant. Not even Dawson would speak like that to me.”

“That means you’re not on that level yet. You might think you’re in high society, but those actually in it can’t even be bothered to look at you,” Jasper said playfully as he shrugged.

“The larger the crowd, the higher the number of idiots. You’re one of those idiots. Do you think you’re royalty after making a name for yourself in Brac County, which was just a municipality a while ago?”

Harvey’s expression stiffened as he listened to Jasper speak. He roared, “The audacity! And who do you think you are? God?!”

Jasper smiled as he pointed at Mark. “I’m not God, but your son is.”

Mark’s face turned as white as a sheet when he remembered he had uttered those words before Jasper.

Standing in front of the father and son, Jasper took out his phone once again.

Harvey and Mark had a somber expression on their faces when they saw Jasper do that. Steve was so afraid that he shuddered.

Mere moments ago, Jasper had used his phone to make a call that would cause his family’s business, Future Industries, to suffer from extermination.

What was he going to do with his phone now?

Was he going to piss all over the Zion family?

Steve shuddered, his eyes wide with fear.

Jasper dialed Dawson’s number.

Soon, Dawson’s sleepy voice rang out across the line.

“Jasper, what’s the matter?”

Jasper smiled as he said, “I’ve made matters clear on my end. You can begin exerting pressure from the province, Uncle Schuler. I’ve already dealt with the Zion family’s shipyard. You can ask your friends from other industries for help.”

Dawson grabbed his glasses from the bedside table and walked toward the study.

He did not ask for a reason, nor did he ask for details about the Zion family. He simply answered, “Alright.”

“And you’re still loitering?! Get your ass back right now!”

Steve’s lips trembled as he said, nearly on the verge of tears, “Dad, we’re done for. We’re all done for.”

The furious man was stunned for a moment before he said through heavy breaths, “What do you mean?”

Steve lay paralyzed on the floor, his eyes vacant as he stared at Jasper and said, “It’s not just us. The Zion family is done for as well.”

As if it had been a signal, Harvey’s phone rang as well.

Harvey answered the phone with great difficulty.

His brother, whom he had posted at Ambition Corporation as a spy, was on the other end of the line.

“Brother, they know who I am. Xavier Johnson’s men are on the hunt for me now. Brother, what should I do?

“I just went home, and the entire family is in chaos. All our partners want to dissolute their contracts with us!

“What’s going on!?”

Amidst the chaos, Harvey lost the strength in his arms. As his phone fell to the ground, he could still hear his brother’s desperate voice.

Harvey shuddered and stared at Jasper with wide eyes. “Who the f*ck are you?!”

“Jasper Laine. J for Julius, L for Lord.”

Jasper relayed this coolly to Harvey before he placed his hands behind his back and left the room.

Julian was right behind Jasper. He did not give the room a second glance as he walked after Jasper.

Mark was as white as a sheet as he stared at Harvey, who had a hideous expression on his face. He asked nervously, “Dad, what should we do?”
