Life at the Top

Roy’s tragic pleading did not evoke Jasper’s compassion.

If it were any other person, Roy might bully them badly such that no one would pity them. At the end of the day, people like Roy would only take advantage of others’ kindness.

Hence, it would benefit society to get rid of these people early.

“Enough! Stop shouting!”

Seeing that Jasper remained unaffected by Roy’s pleas, Gerry did not dare to let the man continue. He glared and shouted at Roy, “What’re you still here for? Get lost! There’s no place for you to talk here!”

Roy did not dare to leave. Staying meant he still had a shred of hope, but his life would be over if he left.

Gerry saw through Roy’s intentions and said coldly, “I’ll give you a chance to leave, which you’ll take if you’re smart. Mr. Laine isn’t the kind to kill you off.”

“But if you choose to continue and anger Mr. Laine, then don’t blame me for turning against you, Pearce!” Gerry was truly frantic.

Only he knew the fear he felt toward Jasper.

Getting rid of the Haddock’s Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof City branch was one thing, but what terrified Gerry the most was the news he had received.

Norman and his daughter had sold all their property this morning and had taken the earliest flight out of the country.

Others might now know about this, but Gerry was well aware of this piece of information.

He also knew that Norman had contacted the little prince, and the Royal family, to protect his property.

The little prince had stood up for Norman as well. Despite this, Norman had been forced to leave

overnight.
