Life at the Top

Lisa pushed the door open, and before she could enter the room, she choked and sputtered due to the overwhelming cloud of smoke.

“Why’re you smoking so much, Dad?”

Lisa had changed greatly from how she used to be in the past.

Donning a long-sleeved top and long pants, her short ear-length hair made her look smart.

Coupled with the glint of resentment and hatred in her eyes, the woman sent shivers down people’s spines.

“Can you contact anyone from the construction site?” Norman asked instead of replying.

“No.”

Lisa shook her head and opened the study windows to let fresh air into the room. She sighed. “Dad, we should be thinking of how to deal with at this stage. There’s no point in locking yourself in the study to smoke.”

“What solution could there be?”

The corner of Norman’s lips twitched. “Jasper’s already arrived at Waterhoof City. He’s definitely found out what we’ve done, and considering his temper, there’s no way he’d let us go.”

“We did this with the idea to fight to the death, didn’t we?” Lisa spoke firmly.

“What was Old Master Hurlbutt’s game by assigning Jasper as the vice president? He’s obviously trying to take your power away!

“Old Master Hurlbutt was also really ambiguous when we and Uncle had a conflict with Jasper.

“Even though Jasper was the one who destroyed Uncle’s family, who knows if Old Master Hurlbutt had given him the green light to do so? Jasper wouldn’t be able to do anything if Old Master Hurlbutt was firm about protecting the Hull family.
