Life at the Top

Jacob and his brother’s complexion paled. The brothers would have just laughed it off if anyone else had said so, but this was Henry Law. The man had the ability to make his words become a reality.

Jacob evaluated the current situation and flipped himself over. Ignoring the blood on his face, he bent over and bowed to Jasper, apologizing in the most sincere attitude possible. “I’m sorry. My brother and I have offended you. I apologize for our actions! Please forgive us!”

Jasper looked at Jacob calmly and smiled. “Not bad, so you do know when to be humble. Well, don’t you look sincere while apologizing? I’m sure you’re scolding me to hell and back internally though, aren’t you?”

Jacob frantically disagreed. “No, no, I wouldn’t dare. You’re a man of great virtue, Young Master Laine. How would you waste your time on being calculative with minor characters like me? Let alone would I dare stay angry at you.”

Laughing, Jasper replied, “I’m not a young master at all. I’m just a simple man from an ordinary family. I can’t possibly compete with you people, so don’t call me Young Master Laine.”

“Please forgive me and my brother, Mr. Laine.”

Jacob turned to look at Hector who was still dazedly lying on the ground as he spoke. Fury suddenly surged through him and he raised his hand to slap Hector across the face.

“Are you stupid? Apologize to Mr. Laine right now!”

As if he had just awoken from a dream, Hector clenched his teeth and stared at Jasper. Indignance burned in his heart.
