Life at the Top

“Let’s ignore whether I’ll get anything out of this or not. Do you know that arson leading to huge property loss and injuries is a severe crime? Do you know that you’ll get at least ten years in prison?”

Terence’s expression changed drastically at Jasper’s words, and he replied guiltily, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! You’re telling me you brought me here so I could listen to you talk about the law?”

“The fire you set made me lose 100 million Somer Dollars. More than a dozen workers are severely injured and there are still a few workers in the emergency room as we speak. Do you think by denying you know anything regarding this matter will get you exempted from legal consequences?” Jasper looked at Terence and asked.

Terence’s heart thumped frantically, and his expression turned fierce as he spoke, “I don’t know what kind of nonsense you’re talking about here! What the f*ck does your construction site catching fire have to do with me? Don’t think that being rich gives you the right to slander me however you want!”

“Sigh…”

Darrel sighed and looked at Terence disappointedly. “Stop struggling, Terence. Jasper already knows everything. Be more sincere and I’ll ask him to let you go. I won’t be able to help you even if I want to if you’re going to continue being so stubborn.”

Terence was enraged. “Darrel Laine! How dare you help an outsider instead of your own brother? What are you saying here?!”

Darrel replied hopelessly, “I overheard your call last night. I know that you were the one who lit that fire. Did you think you left no leads behind? Jasper has had his eyes on you a long time ago, so will you stop being so stubborn for once?”
