Life at the Top

Glancing at Byron’s outstretched hands, Jasper did not move.

“How could a nobody like me be qualified to shake the majestic Mr. Woolery’s hand?”

Byron’s smile froze but he forced himself to continue as he spoke, “Mr. Laine, I already told you that it was a misunderstanding earlier. I didn’t know who you were then.”

“Mr. Woolery, what do the vile things you’ve done have anything to do with who I am?

“Or perhaps you’re telling me, that you’d have someone beat me up and throw me outside if not for my current identity.”

Jasper stated.

Byron’s smile slowly faded and he looked at Jasper calmly. “We’re all just trying to make money here in Nauritus City, Mr. Laine. A mere woman isn’t worth straining our relationship over.

“People say that Mr. Laine is an understanding and attentive young talent. I’m sure he wouldn’t make such a stupid mistake, right?”

Jasper chuckled and replied, “This is more like it, Mr. Woolery. I already told you that Jill is my friend. Therefore, I’ll openly interfere in this matter.

“What are you going to do about it?”

Byron scoffed. If Jasper was unwilling to give in, then he would let go of his inhibitions as well.

“Don’t act so arrogant, Jasper. You think you’re the king here in Nauritus City? It’ll be ages until that happens. Do you even know what I’m using Jill for?

“She’s my gift to Mr. Welch! Haha, I’m afraid you aren’t even qualified enough to know who Mr. Welch is, right?”

Byron’s expression turned haughty, “In that case, let me tell you: Mr. Welch is the President of Softwin’s Somerland brach!
