Life at The Top novel Chapter 560

“You silly boy, what are you thinking about? I’ve already called out to you multiple times!”

Startled by that voice, Terence hurriedly turned to his dad and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Jasper’s uncle glared at Terence as he said, “When will you grow up? Let’s not talk about your cousin, Jasper. But even your brother has his own business now. Can’t you learn from them?”

Terence said impatiently, “What do you know? I’m friends with… Never mind, you wouldn’t know even if I told you. What did you need me for?”

Jasper’s uncle said, “Did you bring the mountain ginseng as I asked you to?”

Terence hoisted the large box in his arms as he said, “Yes, I did.”

Then, the expression on Terence’s face darkened as he said reluctantly, “Dad, are you really going to give this heirloom to Jasper Laine’s family? Is this necessary? This is our family’s heirloom and can’t be bought on the market no matter how much money you have. It’s 200-year-old mountain ginseng—”

Jasper’s uncle interrupted Terence and said, “Don’t call him by his full name. Your cousin is older than you are, so what right do you have to call him by his full name?

“You’re a child who knows nothing. Just give it to Jasper once he arrives at the hotel.”

Terence whined, “Can we give him something else? I want to give this mountain ginseng to an important figure I know.”

“What kind of important figures could you know?!

“I don’t care even if you know God himself. You have no say when it comes to this mountain ginseng. Do as I say, or you’ll face my wrath when we get back home!”

As he watched his father turn away from him and sidle over to Charlie, Terence hugged the box tightly. He lowered his head to mask the dark look in his eyes.

Always intent on maintaining his dignity, Charlie was extremely pleased with Jasper’s arrangements. The smile did not leave Charlie’s face as he gazed at the expressions on his relatives’ faces.

There were a lot of people present, but six BMWs were just enough for everyone to fit in.

Terence got into the last BMW while clutching the box. He shook as he sat in the soft seat.

On what grounds?!

Back then, Jasper had not been as good as him in academics and did not have a silver tongue like him either. He had been the receiver of everyone’s praises while no one even bothered to ask about Jasper.

Thus, even though Jasper was older than he was, Terence had never once respected Jasper.
