Life at the Top

That one phone call was enough to knock Jeremy into an abyss.

He could not figure out how someone who had appeared out of nowhere could tear apart the project he had gotten for himself.

Such a person was either a lunatic who was really good at acting, or they were actually legit.

Jeremy glanced at the Bentley parked behind Jasper and gulped. He felt chills running across his entire body.

Could a lunatic afford to drive a Bentley?

Moreover, based on what had just happened, it was clear that this man was Wendy’s current boyfriend and the son of the farmer woman he had just laughed at!

Jeremy was incredibly decisive when he realized he was in deep trouble. He immediately knelt before Jasper and said, “I’m sorry, I failed to recognize your talent. I looked down on you because of my own twisted views!

“I have a mouth too big for my own appetite!

“But that project is our family’s lifeline. None of us went through any backdoors, everything was done properly through bidding. Please forgive me this one time…”

Jeremy spoke desperately, the sincerity and look of apology on his face were not faked at all.

Jasper watched Jeremy’s performance calmly and waited for him to finish before he said, “Very well. I shall investigate if you got this project legally through a bid or not.

“If you did get this project through a bid, I won’t hold anything against you. However, if bribery was involved, not only will the person who accepted the bribe face time in jail, but you will also suffer consequences as the person who initiated the bribe.”

The expression on Jeremy’s face changed when he heard what Jasper said.

“Who the hell are you?” Jeremy asked dazedly as he raised his head to gaze at Jasper.
