Life at the Top

Chapter 112

Everyone on the table flushed red when they heard what John said. None of them dared to refute him.

“Jasper, you’ll die a horrible death!”

When he thought about how his high position and great wealth would end here today and what would be waiting for him was jail time, Hugh completely lost his mind.

He pounced at Jasper like a mad dog and looked as if he wanted badly to drag Jasper down with him.

However, Jasper stood in his spot without moving.

It was because the officers at one side who had been waiting and eyeing covetously instantly tackled Hugh to the floor.

“Take him away!” The leader waved his hand, and hence, Hugh was brought away while he yelled and cursed continuously.

As Hugh’s voice got further and further away, the officer shook hands with Jasper and said, “No matter what, thanks for your information. If not, we wouldn’t have been able to capture him so easily.”

“As a citizen, I should cooperate and help out,” Jasper said with a smile.

The officer displayed a smile on his expressionless face. Then, he said sternly, “We’ll support legal businesses, and at the same time, we’ll also provide the best environment for you guys. However, we will not allow any illegal activities to go on.”

Jasper nodded and said, “As it should.” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I won’t be staying for long. I’ll get going now.” After the officer said that, he gathered his team and left.

After they left, Jasper turned around to look at the table.

There were about eight to nine people at the table. Even though the host, Hugh, would not be coming back anymore, no one dared to leave before Jasper said anything.

As such, Jasper walked to the seat Hugh had been sitting on before he left amidst the stifling silence.

He draped his arm across the back of the chair and scanned everyone’s faces. Then, he chuckled lightly. “What are you waiting for? Continue eating if you’re still hungry and if you’re not, leave.”

Everyone left out sighs of relief after Jasper said that.

After all, it might seem that they were siding with Hugh because they were sitting here.

Although they never said anything, their presence was proof enough.

Now, Jasper had completely ended Hugh quickly and efficiently. No one was sure if Jasper would seek revenge on them in the future.

No one expected that Jasper, who only joined their internal meeting a few months ago as a newbie, would now replace Hugh as the powerhouse among them.

“Um, I still have something to take care of, so I have to go now.”

Finally, someone could not take this anymore and stood up while saying with a smile.

With someone taking the lead, a few more people immediately started bidding their farewells as well.

However, after they said that, Jasper did not say anything. As such, they would not dare to leave just like that.

It seemed that they were pretty cautious.

Jasper did not look at them. On the contrary, he only said nonchalantly, “Just leave if you have something else to tend to. I’m not the same as Hugh. He wants to control you guys, but I don’t want to do that. I think there’s an endless amount of money to earn in this world, and if there’s money, we can earn it together.

“However…”

Jasper lifted his eyes to scan their smiling faces.

“If anyone dares to do any shady business, then what happened to Hugh will not be the worst because there will be something even worse coming. None of us want to see that happening, right?”

Amidst everyone’s silence, John took a sip of his tea.

The hidden dragon was finally going to fly into the sky!
