Life at The Top novel Chapter 1194

Just then, Ulric and Horace shivered. They realized that they were in big trouble.

Ulric was confused and he pointed at Jasper to ask, “Who, who are you?”

“This is Mr. Laine! The owner of Easy Media!”

Truman looked at Ulric like the latter was an idiot. To think that the man would still dare to point at Jasper now… Truman scolded him frantic and impatiently.

In all honesty, Truman did not care about what would happen to Ulric or even Horace. He just did not want these idiots to get him involved too.

At that moment, Horace snapped back to reality and he slapped Ulric across his face. Then, he dragged Ulric who was wailing pitifully over to Jasper and said sorrowfully, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Laine. I never knew that there’d be such a failure by my side!”

Jasper looked at Horace and smiled. “Officially speaking, he’s the agent for Legends district and is directly supervised by the Waterhoof City branch. Privately, he’s your cousin. Are you telling me that you have no idea what he’s been doing?”

Horace’s complexion paled and he looked at Ulric darkly like he wanted to eat the other man alive.

“If you knew, then there’s a huge problem with you as a person. If you didn’t know, then it’s still your fault for being negligent.”

Jasper’s words put a stop to any of Horace’s excuses.

As he was at his wit’s end thinking about what to do, Ulric suddenly fell to the floor with a thud and kneeled in front of Jasper.

“Mr. Laine, please forgive me. It’s my fault for being a snob, for being blind to the reality of the situation, for offending who I should not have.”

Ulric slapped himself as he apologized.

The clear slaps accompanied by Ulric’s tragic pleas turned the scene into something extremely strange.

“Not bad. All you knew were expletives moments ago, but I see you’ve changed,” Jasper stated calmly.

As he processed this train of thought, Truman felt utter hatred for the devastated Horace and Ulric. Truman felt like he had been implicated by them for no reason.

“Damn you two!” Truman cured resentfully.

Jasper shook his head as he watched the commercial vehicle drive away.

Jasper had understood everything since the moment the group had alighted the car. Truman’s relationship with Horace and the words he told Ulric was enough for Jasper to fire the man.

Everything happened so fast but ended even quicker.

Ulric and Horace were screwed. Seeing how the situation was against them, Ulric’s lackeys fled as well. In the blink of an eye, only Jasper and Baz were left in the shop.

Jasper smiled and walked over to a stunned Baz as he extended his hand. “Nice to meet you, my name’s Jasper Laine. Laine with an I.”
