Life at the Top

Due to the time difference, Somerland was 13 hours ahead of the United States.

It was 1 PM in Somerland, which was around midnight on September the 11th in the United States. The night was quiet, as if needing a shocking change to wake its people.

Jasper and Henry had just gotten out of the office and were about to go eat lunch when Julian suddenly came over with a report.

“Jasper, there’s already a result regarding Calvin’s situation. His sentence will be around 8-10 years and the officials wish to get the victim’s opinion and ask if they agree with the standard sentencing.”

Jasper replied calmly, “Just follow the legal provisions available. We might be the victims, but that doesn’t mean we’re above the law.”

“10 years is long enough. By the time Calvin is released after 10 years, the world would’ve changed as well.” Julian nodded understandingly at Jasper’s reply.

The man’s intention was clear. Any criminal sentence had an upper and lower limit. The final decision on the length of jail time would be affected by the details of the crime and whether the defendant repented.

If Jasper decided on 10 years, then it would be the maximum of 10 years.

There was nothing anyone could harp on.

“I’ll pass your intentions along. Oh, and, Jasper, there’s one more thing…”

Jasper exclaimed in shock, “Jul, you’re even speaking long windedly now. Just get to the point.”

Henry then snickered and made a joke, “Did you set your eyes on a girl and now want Jasper to be your wingman?”

Julian replied awkwardly, “Stop making jokes about me, I’m talking serious business here.”

“After what happened to Calvin, a huge crisis appeared at Penelope’s company suddenly. Her supply channel from Harbor City seemed to have collapsed, but Penelope already signed contracts with many of her underwriters. Now that she can’t provide the goods, the underwriters are stirring up trouble for her.”
