Life at The Top novel Chapter 969

Old and slouching, the man’s expression was filled with fear and unease. It was a rather pitiful sight.

“What’s your name?”

The man shivered and replied with a sorrowful expression and a heavy Brac County accent, “Dwight Hewitt.”

“I won’t waste time on unnecessary nonsense, and I’m sure you are well aware of what you’ve done. Take a look around the room, is there anyone here you conspired with?”

Shaun’s expression darkened immediately at Jasper’s words.

He glared at Dwight fiercely.

Just as the man looked at Shaun with hesitation.

“What’re you looking at me for, old man? Watch your words, no one in Brac City would dare to frame me for something I didn’t do,” Shaun stated bitingly.

“Did I ask you?” Jasper looked at Shaun.

“Or is this the guilty talking?”

Shaun was enraged. “Who do you think you are? What does me talking have to do with you?”

“You’ll know who I am soon enough,” Jasper replied indifferently.

With that, he turned to Dwight and spoke, “The situation’s still classified as the shipyard’s internal affairs. You’re growing old and I’d like to believe you were coerced and didn’t have any other option. So, I’ll make you two promises.

“Promise number one, no one will be able to threaten you or your family’s safety after this is over.

“Promise number two, as long as you’re honest and willing to point out who the person is, as well as tell me the details of your conspiration, then I will not investigate further nor hold you accountable.”

“His confession was very clear, Shaun. What more do you have to say for yourself?”

Shaun seethed in place. Fright filled his eyes but he did not dare to say anything, for he was busy thinking of a solution.

At that moment, Mary stepped forward and pointed at Jasper’s nose as she screamed.

“Who do you think you are? So what if you’re the owner of some stupid shipyard? What can you do to the Wellington family anyway? Scams and lies are prevalent in all businesses. You have no one to blame when it’s your incompetence that led to us getting the order instead!”

Jasper smiled. “So, following this line of logic, as long as your capable enough, anything you do is right?

“Very well, then. Remember your words and don’t regret it.

“I love showing people like you how capable I can be.”
