Life at The Top novel Chapter 1101

Alban glanced at Jasper coldly when he put the call on loudspeaker. His gaze was filled with mockery.

Alban was not the only one. Excluding Jasper and Henry, it seemed like everyone else was siding against Jasper and waiting to see him be made a fool of.

It seemed as if this was a definite outcome.

Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the person on the other end of the call to speak.

A second later, a man ’s voice echoed from the speakers. However, instead of the excitement and glee people imagined, the man’s voice was filled with fright and disbelief.

“Mr. Ball, we handed the report in, but it didn’t go as we planned!”

Alban’s heart skipped a beat, but before he could say anything, the man on call continued.

“The city government said that the World Financial Center’s entire design and construction process had strictly followed the proper procedures and was approved by both professional teams in Waterhoof City’s and the National Design Institue in Swallow Capital. He said that there was no way anything could go wrong with such a huge project…”

Alban’s heart began to beat erratically and he raged.

“No way! If nothing else but for prudence sake, a report from such an authoritative architectural and design office such as ours should still have caused

construction to be temporarily halted and fully investigated even if its initial process had been supervised!”

“That’s what I said too, but the city government, they said… they said…”

While the person talking was not physically present, everyone could tell from his tone that he was terrified. Alban was enraged when his subordinate started to stutter at such a crucial time. “What’re you stammering on about? Get straight to the point! What did the city government say?

“Exactly! That’s the only explanation!”

“After all, it’ll be a huge mess if something was wrong with this building. This is also a report from a worldwide renowned architectural office! But instead of stopping construction, the city government even thanked Mr. Ball for his enthusiasm! This… it’s so infuriating!”

“What do you do now, Mr. Ball?” The man asked on the other end of the line, his tone sorrowful, exasperated, and indignant.

“Nothing! What else?”

Alban hung up the phone with a roar, feeling completely embarrassed now.

Henry could barely keep his glee under control and he told Alban, “You know, I think Waterhoof City City Government should really award you with an Enthusiastic Citizen award, old man.”
