Life at the Top

“But Terence is your brother!”

Honey spoke as tears streamed down her face. “And… And Jasper too. Why does he have to send Terence to prison? Sure, Terence has made a mistake, but he’s still his cousin. A little punishment would’ve been enough. You said he won’t hold Terence accountable, so why is this happening now?”

Darrel sighed deeply and spoke, “I didn’t want to believe Jasper when he told me that Terence would definitely betray him, so I made a promise to Jasper. If Terence betrayed him, it means that there’s no saving him anymore and this is our only option left.

“If he didn’t betray Jasper, then Jasper would let him go.

“Terence may only be an accomplice, but he could point Jasper to the culprit who’s behind everything. This means a lot to Jasper because those people plotting against him are actually plotting for his death!

“This is already the most benevolent option Jasper can make.”

With his eyebrows knitted tightly, Darrel’s father hit his thigh and clenched his jaw tight. “He’ll have to deal with the consequences of his own mistake. This is the most we can do for him. Enough already, we can only hope that Jasper will remember how we’re cooperating with him this time and help Darrel with his business.”
