Life at the Top

Archer was the first to laugh when Jasper said this.

“Would you stop acting like you’re some bigshot, Jasper? Don’t you feel ashamed at all?

“Seriously, I’m starting to think you’re living backward while all of us are moving on with the times. You were still smart back in school, not daring to interfere with anything or spout any nonsense. It’s only been a few years since we graduated, so why did you start acting pretentious all of a sudden, huh?

“At least look around before you start acting. Does this look like something you can control?”

Ronald scoffed at Archer’s words and continued, “Who knows, maybe he’s outstanding now? Maybe he’s a boss of some company.”

“Hahaha, as if his company would be more formidable than yours, Ronald. Your demolition company makes at least a million each year.”

“Poor fellows like him only got to eat white bread and vegetables every day. His clothes were always torn and sewn back together, and even his shoes had holes in them. You think he’s ever seen so much money before in his life?”

Archer chortled loudly.

Ronald scoffed when he heard that.

“So, that’s the kind of person he is? And to think that he was so aggressive to me downstairs. If not for you, I’d have taught him a lesson long ago.”

Archer glared at Jasper before turning to Ronald and saying, “You let it go on my behalf, Ronald, I only asked because we used to be classmates.

“However, if he’s going to continue acting so stubborn, then there’s no need to leave him alone for my sake anymore. Hit, slap, do what you have to. Ignorant people like him won’t understand the concept of respect without a harsh beating from society.”

Archer then warned Jasper, “This is my last warning to you, Laine. Ronald isn’t someone you can afford to offend. His demolition company is the biggest in Faith County, and there are dozens of people under him.

“Most of them are ex-convicts, and Ronald’s bent so many of them to his will.
