Life at The Top novel Chapter 575

Dawson replied, “Alright then. Remember to call me if you need any help.”

Jasper nodded. “I will.”

Putting the phone down, Jasper’s expression darkened slightly.

A false positive was better than a false negative. Jasper never had the habit of getting comfortable, so he would always be somewhat cautious and keep his guards up.

The news from Penelope coupled with the results of his investigation from multiple places had solidified such a case.

‘Terence himself has ulterior motives as well as someone mysterious backing him up.

‘In order to do this, Terence even tried to pull Darrel into his plans.

‘But the fact that Terence has to persuade Darrel means that the latter either has no idea of what’s happening or hasn’t completely joined their side.

‘So who’s this mysterious mastermind behind it all?’

“It’s time for dinner, Jasper.”

His mother’s voice sounded from downstairs, breaking Jasper’s train of thought.

Exhaling softly, Jasper hummed in acknowledgment and walked out of his study. He decided that he would observe for a little longer before he came up with a plan.

At least now he had a target to keep an eye on and that was Terence Laine.

If the other party wanted to deal with him, then it would only be a matter of time before they made a move.

At the same time in a normal district in Faith County.

Darrel’s brows were knitted tightly as he looked at Terrence’s nervous expression with a deep gaze. He spoke with a heavy tone, “Have you gone crazy, Terence? Or did someone drug you with something? How could you be so blind?”

While the words were harsh, Darrel had to admit that his brother spoke the truth.

“We just have to show the rest of them that we’re the truly outstanding people in this family, Darrel. Jasper is just someone who got rich because he was lucky. He has no right to step all over us.

“Plus, we’re brothers. Why would I set you up?”

With Terence’s persuasion, he saw that Darrel was about to agree.

Darrel stood up in frustration and spoke, “Enough. My mind’s a mess now, so we’ll talk about this again in a few days.”

Terence’s gaze turned sinister as he watched Darrel leave.

He would be screwed if he did not manage to persuade Darrel. Zayden would not forgive him if that was the case.

That was why Terence had already decided he would do everything to persuade Darrel, no matter the price.
