Life at the Top

“Are you going to make the call or do I have to do it for you?”

Dean, who was previously struggling and scolding frantically, quieted down suddenly. He looked up at Jasper suspiciously.

“Why are you looking at me? Do you think you can bear such a big disaster with your scrawny body? Does Gale not want to wipe your *ss for you?” Jasper frowned.

“I did this on my own volition, it has nothing to do with him!” Dean snapped loudly.

“What an affectionate and loyal grandson.” Jasper chuckled lightly.

Crouching in front of Dean, Jasper looked down at Dean condescendingly and spoke slowly, “The nature of what you did is bad, and the consequences are serious. You are not a fool so you must understand this. Do you think I caught you just to vent my anger? You’re overthinking. Your life and death are of no interest to me because you don’t carry enough value. To me and Gale, you are just a pawn on the chessboard. Gale also knows this very well, so if you come up with something like this now, he will have to bear the consequences. He doesn’t have a choice right now.”

“The only person who doesn’t understand this is you. This is also what’s so lamentable about a nobody.”

Seeing Dean’s eyes gradually changing from maniacal to shock, to disbelief, Jasper shook his head and continued faintly, “You thought you were manipulating the situation behind the scenes, but Gale and I were sitting on both sides of the board watching your performance. Now, it’s time for you to take a curtain call, do you understand?”
