Chapter 1241-1250

Life at the Top Chapter 1241Mid Mount Hospital, the Cardiovascular Department.Jasper saw Ms. Tiana on the ground floor of the inpatient area.It had only been a few months since they last met but Ms. Tiana looked much frailer.Despite being forced to move, threatened with the demolition of her house, and being in bad health back then, Ms. Tiana had still seemed rather energized.However, Ms. Tiana looked exhausted and despondent now when Jasper saw her again.Under the cold breeze of the deep autumn, Ms. Tiana sat alone on the bench next to the inpatient department. She held a stack of invoices in her hands while her expression was troubled.“Ms. Tiana.”Jasper greeted softly and sat beside her.“Huh? Jasper? Why, why are you here?”Ms. Tiana was surprised by Jasper’s arrival.“Wendy told me what happened. Why didn’t you take the initiative to contact me when you needed help?” Jasper chided.Ms. Tiana waved him off and replied with a smile, “There’s no need to bother you. I can deal with this myself. You’ re a busy man. How could I bother you over this small issue of mine?”“Sigh. The wind’s rather strong here, Ms. Tiana, and your body’s too weak to be subjected to the elements. Let’s talk about this in your room, okay?” Jasper suggested, instead of directly asking about her children.Ms. Tiana looked rather embarrassed. “Uh, there’s no need. You’re a busy man, Jasper. Don’t let me hold you back from work. I’m fine here.”Jasper frowned slightly and asked, “Are you hiding something from me, Ms. Tiana?”Ms. Tiana replied awkwardly, “I’m still lining up and waiting to be given a room.”Jasper arched his brow,Mid Mount Hospital was a renowned hospital beside Hoofmorn University. The hospitalization process in big hospitals like this was difficult and normal patients often needed to line up before they could be assigned a room. This was common knowledge and Jasper was well aware of it.However, Ms. Tiana was transferred from Southeast Province to Waterhoof City’s Mid Mount Hospital. Wendy had been in charge of the procedures, so there should have been nothing wrong with the documents.‘So why was Ms. Tiana lining up now?’Jasper was about to probe further when a man and a woman walked out of the inpatient building.The man was in his forties and donning a lab coat. He was a doctor at Mid Mount Hospital. Meanwhile, the woman was dressed alluringly and held the car keys to a BMW in her hands.The couple smiled as they chatted, looking extremely intimate.“Yo, you’re still alive, old woman?”The woman saw Ms. Tiana sitting on the bench and said with a sneer.She crossed her arms and walked over, then stared down at Ms. Tiana disdainfully. “Oldies like you are going to die soon anyway. What’s the point of coming to the hospital? Just find somewhere else to die in if you’re sick. Why come here and waste society’s resources?”Ms. Tiana’s lips trembled in anger and replied, “How could you be so cruel, young lady? You already stole my hospital room, and you’re still cursing me to die?”The woman scoffed and said, “All that matters in this society are connections, old woman. Don’t think that just because oldies like you found a channel to stay in the hospital that it means you’re suddenly very powerful. Ihave the power to make you leaveimmediately if I want!”“You were arguing just now, weren’t you? Go on, then. Keep arguing. But after all that arguing, you’re still lining up downstairs, aren’t you?”Life at the Top Chapter 1242“I refuse to believe that there’s no order!” Ms. Tiana said in distress.Just then, Jasper reached out to place a hand on Ms. Tiana’s shoulder. He pointed at the other woman and asked, “Did this woman stole the hospital room Wendy arranged for you?”Ms. Tiana did not hide from Jasper anymore and told him, “I already had a room the first day I transferred over, but then this doctor suddenly told me to move out. I thought something was wrong, and turns out they wanted to give this woman a place.”Ms. Tiana pointed at the middle aged doctor next to the woman when she said ‘doctor’.“I told them I came first, that my illness is severe, that l have to do surgery soon, but they refused to listen and immediately asked people to throw my things out. I was alone against them, so I had no choice but to wait here.”Jasper suppressed the anger he felt and turned to look at the expressionless doctor to say, “Give me a reason.”The middle aged doctor slowly pushed up his glasses and replied, “Reason? For what?”“Why you threw out a patient from their room. Who gave you the courage and right to do that?”Jasper shouted forcefully.Being of high status, Jasper dealt with society’s most sophisticated people every day. He was no longer the immature and small businessman from before.Thus, the doctor was stunned by Jasper’s shout. However, he reacted immediately.As if feeling embarrassed by the fact that Jasper shouted at him, the doctor replied tensely, “I’m the deputy director of the inpatient department. I decide who stays in the hospital and who doesn’t! Who are you to demand a reason from me? Why do I have to give you any reason?”“Do you even know anything about the hospital? What can you say if I claim that her illness is even more severe?”The middle aged doctor pointed at the woman by his side as he sneered and taunted.The woman snorted and said, “You’re from the villages, aren’t you? How unsophisticated. You think that just because you can shout, that it makes you powerful?”“Society is rather straightforward. People with authority have special powers. Don’t like it? Then become someone with authority. Ridiculous foreigner.”“So, to you people, authority is what allows you to disregard a patient’s health?” Jasper asked icily.The middle aged doctor snorted and said, “Are you crazy, young man? Don’t think that just because you’ve read a few books and know a bit of knowledge, that suddenly you have the right to argue with me.“Do you know where you are, right now? This is a hospital!”“Not a place where people like you can solve problems through shouting!”“Look at how many patients there are outside! All of them are lining up to be hospitalized, and all this? I…”The middle aged doctor then pointed at his own nose and said arrogantly, “Get to decide!”“This old woman would still have been allowed to line up for a room before this, but let me tell you right now! She can die here for all I care, and I still won’t give her a hospital room!”The doctor then pointed at Jasper and scolded, “You unsophisticated outsider! This is a lesson for you. Don’t start shouting wherever you go, it’ll only tell people how low classed you are! Understood, outsider?”“That’s right! You’re nothing more than a dog! You know nothing and yet you dare to shout at Mr. Wheatley? ” The woman agreed.“Jasper.”Ms. Tiana tugged Jasper’s clothes and sighed. “It’s alright Let’s just go to another hospital. l wouldn’t dare to let such an unethical doctor treat me either.”However, Jasper held Ms. Tiana back and said, “No, Ms. Tiana. We will stay here tonight. He’s just a deputy director of the inpatient department. He doesn’t have the right to treat you. Don’t worry.”Life at the Top Chapter 1243Both Mr. Wheatley and the woman reacted as if Jasper had told them a hilarious joke.“I knowI said you didn’t know anything, outsider, but I didn’t expect you to be so stupid.”“Did you not hear me correctly? Mr. Wheatley is the deputy director of the inpatient department. He’s the one that decides who gets to be hospitalized or not. If he says this old woman can’t stay in the hospital, then no one can help her at all. Who do you think you are?”The woman pointed at Jasper and laughed out loud.Mr. Wh eatley also scoffed and looked at Jasper pitifully. Then, he turned to the woman. “Forget it. He’s just an idiot, let’s leave him alone. He’ll just make a fool out of himself if he starts shouting until nightfall.”“Let’s go. Hoofmorn University’s leadership team is coming to inspect the hospital with the hospital’s heads. I have to reach there before they do.”The woman nodded and turned to Jasper pridefully, “You have a plan, right? Then try and get this old woman a hospital room. Now I’m curious how you’re going to do that. Hahaha…”As they spoke, a group of people was ushered over from afar.There were a few men in suits and a few others in lab coats, all looking majestic as they walked over.Among the group of people were Hoofmorn University’s leaders and Mid Mount Hospital’s president, all walking over while chatting happily.Jasper saw one of them and put away his phone that he had previously pulled out.At the same time, one of the middle aged men also saw Jasper.Dorian was rather surprised when he saw Jasper.He did not expect to see Jasper at Mid Mount Hospital. Hoofmorn University’s professional team had met JW Electronics’ professionals over the past two days while their partnership over the stepper had also been officially reviewed and approved by Swallow Capital’s education bureau.Dorian had his own sources of inside intelligence which told him that the higher-ups seemed to value this huge project greatly.One of the higher officials in the education bureau even praised this partnership between an academy and an enterprise with three consecutive ‘good’s.Dorian also understood, from the change in the dean’s attitude lately, that Jasper was Hoofmorn University’s true VIP.“Mr. Laine! Why are you here?”Due to the various reasons, Dorian immediately pushed his way through Mid Mount Hospital’s president and vice presidents to run toward Jasper.Dorian’s rare courteous and enthusiastic attitude, as well as tone, immediately made the hospital’s group of leaders understand the situation.Each of them now looked at Jasper politely.Mid Mount Hospital was a hospital under Hoofmorn University. This meant that Hoofmorn University’s leaders had the direct authority to direct Mid Mount Hospital.As the dean’s secretary, as well a high ranking employee from Hoofmorn University that was close to the university’s core authority, Dorian was extremely valued by the hospital’s leaders. Therefore, they became extremely careful when interacting with someone Dorian respected greatly.Seeing Dorian’s enthusiastic smile, Jasper did not speak to the man as usual. Instead, he replied coldly.“An elder of mine had to line up for a hospital room. She’s alone and very ill, but she even got thrown out of her hospital room. As a youth, it’s only right I wait here with her.”Dorian was stunned by what he heard.The hospital’s group of leaders who rushed after Dorian were dumbfounded as well.“An elder of mine had to line up for a hospital room.” This alone was fine.Since it implied how noble Mr. Laine was and how he did not demand special treatment because of his high status.But the next thing he said, “even got thrown out of her hospital room”. This statement slapped awake the group of seventeen to eighteen leaders.Life at the Top Chapter 1244There has never been an incident where a patient was chased out of their hospital room!This would be a huge scandal if word got out.“Mr. Laine. What… what happened?”Dorian asked confusedly. He had no idea what Jasper was talking about.Jasper pointed at Mr. Wheatley, who was stunned by the scene before him, and said, “How about you ask Mr. Wheatley? He emphasized to me quite a few times that he was the one who decided who stayed and who left the hospital. He also said he wanted to see what I could do about it.”Dorian’s expression darkened after he heard Jasper. Technically speaking, this was an incident of poor management in the hospital. As such, this incident reflected on the medical ethics of the entire hospital.When a doctor made a mistake, the hospital had to take responsibility. But if the hospital made a mistake? Then it would be Hoofmorn University, the parent organization, that would have to take responsibility! Dorian glared at Mr. Wheatley harshly.However, due to the huge difference between the two’s identities, Dorian could not possibly recognize a mere deputy director of the inpatient department. Therefore, he turned his head and shouted, “Please explain what’s going on, Mr. Knowles!”Mr. Knowles walked out from behind Dorian. Sweat could be seen on this old man’s forehead.“Explain yourself, Hadwin!”With no other option, Mr. Knowles could only interrogate Mr. Wheatley.Mr. Wheatley was close to tears.The tables had turned too quickly, and he had not come to terms with what was happening yet.“I… I… I didn’t mean it that way.”Everyone understood when they heard Hadwin.The people present were either from Hoofmorn University’s or the hospital’s managerial ranks. They were considered imposing figures to ordinary people. Those who assumed such positions and roles were not idiots.From Hadwin’s reaction, they instantly understood that Mr. Laine had told the truth.Hadwin had surely said something similar.“You… How powerful of you, huh! You even get to decide who stays and leaves this hospital, hmm?” Mr. Knowles was infuriated as he wanted nothing more than to slap Hadwin.“Our hospital cannot afford to have someone as powerful as you in here. You’re suspended with immediate effect, and I’ll suggest for your dismissal to be reviewed at the hospital admin office!”Mr. Knowles’ statement confirmed I-Iadwin’s future. Hadwin had put in a lot of hard work and made plenty of sacrifices to assume this greatly desired position as the inpatient department deputy director of a big hospital like Mid Mount.He was reluctant to give it away now that he was used to the benefits it brought.He immediately sobbed, “No, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Clem! Please listen to me, that’s not what I meant!”“It’s all this woman’s fault She’s the one who lied to me and said that this old madam’s all alone and still able to run and walk. She said this old madam was pretty much recovered, that’s why I arranged for her to give up the room.”“How about this? I’ll arrange a room for this old madam immediately. The best ward with the best treatment I won’t make the same mistake again!”Hadwin was moments away from kneeling and begging at this point.Dorian looked at Jasper.“Why are you looking at me?”Jasper said indifferently, “This falls under your internal affairs, Mr. Clem, so as an outsider, it’s not my place to interfere. But I am a little disappointed in your management regarding this incident.”“The hospital is a place to treat and save patients, not a place where people can rule with absolute authority.” Jasper had essentially decided the outcome with his words.Life at the Top Chapter 1245Without needing to see Mr. Clem’s gaze, Mr. Knowles immediately replied, “You’re right, Mr. Laine. We’ll make sure to reflect on this.“Since all important leaders of the hospital are here, then I’ll make it clear now. The hospital will undergo rectification over the next few months and we will not allow black sheep like Hadwin to remain in our hospital’s ranks!”The other vice presidents and directors of the important departments were smart and they all patted their chests and promised to carry out the president’s instruction. They also stated that this would affect the hospital greatly.Under the applause and praise, Dorian saw Jasper’s expression smooth over. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.In all honesty, this was a small issue, it was just that it was so vile.Thank goodness this elder who was somehow related to Jasper was alright. Dorian would be at a loss if something had happened to her.He would be implicated if Jasper wanted to blow this incident up and the school decided to investigate further.Dorian’s eyes flickered over at that thought.Since he already started, then he might as well do everything thoroughly so that Jasper was satisfied. “This person too.”Dorian pointed at the woman next to Hadwin. She had remained quiet the entire time and even wished that she was transparent as the scene unfurled before her eyes.“Find out how she got in. If there’s been any contact between her and Hadwin in private, then sue them for corruption.”The woman exclaimed when she heard Dorian.She was smarter than Hadwin, after all. So instead of begging Mr. Knowles and Dorian for mercy, she knew that Jasper, the man she looked down on and called an outsider, was truly the formidable person she needed to plea to.She disregarded her image and dignity as she immediately fell to her knees in front of Jasper. “Please, Mr. Laine. Forgive me, please. I was blind, I didn’t know who you were. I didn’t know how powerful you were.”“I’ll immediately give back the hospital room back and leave. I’ll run far away, so please don’t let them sue me.”Jasper looked at the sobbing woman before he glanced at the BMW car keys in her hands. Then, he said calmly, “You have authority and connections, and that’s why you think you can do whatever you want in society, right?”The woman shook her head frantically and replied, “No, that’s not true. That’s all nonsense, it’s bullsli*t.”“No, you’re right.”Jasper replied calmly.“This is how society works now. The only difference is that I’m more powerful and have better connections than you do. That’s why when you’re running rampant and accidentally knock into me, you’re the one that falls.”Jasper then looked at Hadwin, whose expression was colorless.“You asked how I’m going to get a hospital room. Do you see how now?”Hadwin shivered and did not dare to say a word.Not in the mood to care about these two, Jasper helped Ms. Tiana to her feet and said, “Come on, Ms. Tiana. Let’s go to your hospital room.”Dorian immediately shouted, “Quick! Arrange the best hospital room for Ms. Tiana!”Jasper looked at Dorian with a subtle smile. “Mr. Clem, would this be considered a backdoor method?”Dorian was a smart man and he recognized that Jasper had said this to shut the mouths of people who would comment on the matter upon witnessing it.Therefore, he replied cooperatively, “No way. Didn’t you say Ms. Tiana already had a hospital room? We’re just changing her room for her right now. This isn’t a backdoor method. Not at all.”It sure was easy talking to smart people.Life at the Top Chapter 1246Jasper nodded and walked into the inpatient department with Ms. Tiana.“Will this cause more trouble for you, Jasper?” Ms. Tiana asked worriedly.Jasper looked at the president and vice presidents that ran over to prepare a room for Ms. Tiana and smiled, “Something this small isn’t any trouble at all, Ms. Tiana.”“Favors and connections are necessary in many aspects of our society right now, and this isn’t something we can change. However, I’m sure that the situation will improve in the future. All we can do until then is do our best to protect ourselves.”Ms. Tiana nodded thoughtfully at Jasper’s words.After the group of people left alongside Jasper, Hadwin and the woman’s legs completely gave out.“Mr, Mr. Wheatley. What do we do now?” The woman sobbed to Hadwin.“What else can we do?!”Hadwin was enraged and he looked like the devil.“This wouldn’t have happened to us if you weren’t so high profile and you didn’t mock that woman after taking her ward! We’re both screwed now! Screwed!”The woman shivered up and said with a wail, “My uncle is an old officer in Waterhoof City’s education bureau and he has some connections with Hoofmorn University’s leaders. Maybe I should talk to him?”“About what? The Waterhoof City education bureau is only in charge of high schools and primary schools at most! Hoofmorn University’s ranked on the same level as Waterhoof City’s City Government!”“Besides, that uncle of yours won’t even be considered a subject chief if he were placed in Hoofmorn University! Do you know who Mr. Clem is?”“He’s Hoofmorn University’s dean’s secretary! In terms of rank and power, your uncle doesn’t even have the right to tie Mr. Clem’s shoes. Let alone Mr. Laine, who Mr. Clem might as well worship at this point! This is all your fault for looking down on people! Your fault!”The color drained from the woman’s face after what she heard.If Mr. Clem were personally helping Jasper, then even the president and his aides did not have the right to help Jasper set up the hospital room.However, thanks to these leaders of the hospital, Ms. Tiana was arranged to stay in a special care VIP hospital room with the best professionals in the hospital soon gathering to diagnose her.A treatment plan was produced within a day.“Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. The professionals have already looked at her. It’s not too problematic and it’s easy to treat. There’s no life-threatening danger and she’ll be able to move around like a normal person after resting a bit post-surgery.”Mr. Clem told Jasper in the hospital room’s VIP reception area.Having either money or power during such times brought plenty of benefits and privileges.The VIP hospital room was an example. Normal hospital rooms contained at least three other patients, where the scope of the patient’s activity was limited to their small hospital bed.However, the VIP room not only had a private for the patient to rest in, but there were also a bedroom for care workers, a reception area for guests, and an independent bathroom. There were also 24-hours on call nurses.“Alright.”Jasper nodded, finally smiling at Dorian.“Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Clem.”Dorian sighed and replied, “There’s no need to thank me. What happened today was the result of our negligence.”Jasper waved him off, not wishing to further dwell on this matter, and said, “The partnership with Hoofmorn University has already officially begun, and the first batch of funds will arrive immediately.“However, I am a businessman at the end of the day, and profiting is still my goal. Therefore, I do hope that research results can be produced as soon as possible.”Dorian nodded and replied sternly, “Don’t worry, Mr. Laine. Not only will our university do our best, but the officials at Swallow Capital really support us as well.”“We can request Swallow Capital for governmental technical support when the time comes. Considering all this, I’m sure we’ll be able to produce good results as soon as possible.”Life at the Top Chapter 1247Jasper and Dorian chatted for another thirty minutes or so before the latter had to leave. Dorian had business to attend to, so he got up and excused himself after they arrived at an understanding.Jasper did not hold him back and walked him out of the hospital room himself.Jasper returned to the patient’s room and pulled out an apple from the fruit basket sent over by the vice president of the hospital. Peeling the skin off the apple, Jasper joked.“How important of us, Ms. Tiana. Other patients come into the hospital and think of ways to win the doctors over, while the vice president himself brings fruit over for us.”Ms. Tiana leaned against the headboard and told Jasper gently, “All thanks to you.”Jasper saw how healthy Ms. Tiana appeared, and took the initiative to ask, “Ms. Tiana. What about your kids?”Ms. Tiana’s expression changed and she replied after sighing, “There’s no point talking about that unfilial son.”“Tell me anyway.”Jasper handed Ms. Tiana a peeled apple.“I heard that he angered you so much you had to be sent to the hospital’s emergency room.”Ms. Tiana replied sorrowfully, “He said he’s too poor and he can’t afford to pay his child’s school fees. I gave him my old house and he said it wasn’t enough. He knows that I’m managing the money from the foundation, so he wants me to transfer the money to him secretly.“There’s no way I’d do something like that.“I rejected him immediately, but he won’t leave me alone. Sigh, what misfortune to have such a child.”Speak of the devil.The hospital room door was pushed open and a man appeared at the doors to the patient’s room.“Mom!”Donned in a suit and looking like serious salaryman, he shouted at Ms. Tiana from the entrance to the room.Ms. Tiana was stunned for a moment before she replied darkly, “Don’t call me mom! I don’t have a son like you!”Jasper was the one by her side when times were most difficult.Not only did Jasper solve many of her troubles, but despite his status and role as the owner of a huge business, Jasper even came to take care of her himself. Not to mention that Jasper was passionate when it came to charity.Life at the Top Chapter 1248Jasper and Dorian chatted for another thirty minutes or so before the latter had to leave. Dorian had business to attend to, so he got up and excused himself after they arrived at an understanding.Jasper did not hold him back and walked him out of the hospital room himself.Jasper returned to the patient’s room and pulled out an apple from the fruit basket sent over by the vice president of the hospital. Peeling the skin off the apple, Jasper joked.“How important of us, Ms. Tiana. Other patients come into the hospital and think of ways to win the doctors over, while the vice president himself brings fruit over for us.”Ms. Tiana leaned against the headboard and told Jasper gently, “All thanks to you.”Jasper saw how healthy Ms. Tiana appeared, and took the initiative to ask, “Ms. Tiana. What about your kids?”Ms. Tiana’s expression changed and she replied after sighing, “There’s no point talking about that unfilial son.”“Tell me anyway.”Jasper handed Ms. Tiana a peeled apple.“I heard that he angered you so much you had to be sent to the hospital’s emergency room.”Ms. Tiana replied sorrowfully, “He said he’s too poor and he can’t afford to pay his child’s school fees.

Sigh, what misfortune to have such a child.”Speak of the devil.The hospital room door was pushed open and a man appeared at the doors to the patient’s room.“Mom!”Donned in a suit and looking like serious salaryman, he shouted at Ms. Tiana from the entrance to the room.Ms. Tiana was stunned for a moment before she replied darkly, “Don’t call me mom! I don’t have a son like you!”Jasper was the one by her side when times were most difficult.Not only did Jasper solve many of her troubles, but despite his status and role as the owner of a huge business, Jasper even came to take care of her himself. Not to mention that Jasper was passionate when it came to charity.Life at the Top Chapter 1249This sentence had emphasized j ust how shameless Jeff was.Normal people did not take the initiative to ask someone to pay back a favor in cash.Let alone in such an arrogant and matter of factly way. Ms. Tiana was the first person to object. She could not accept her son’s shamelessness.“Unfilial! What an unfilial son I have!”Ms. Tiana pointed at Jeff, her complexion pale with anger.“How did I give birth to such a b*stard like you? You’ve brought disgrace to our whole family!”If not for Jasper, Ms. Tiana might have lost her life when she had to deal with the demolition team before. Not to mention that Jasper was the reason she now laid in the best hospital room in Mid Mount Hospital with the most elite team of professionals treating her.Ms. Tiana had long felt extremely grateful to Jasper for all of this.However, Jeff’s behavior now made Ms. Tiana want to bang her head against the wall and kill herself.Jeff harrumphed and ignored Ms. Tiana, who was about to die from infuriation, and instead stared at Jasper in disdain. “You don’t even have that money, do you?”“Stop acting like you’re some slit in front of my mom. Who the fck are you? You can’t even take 1000 bucks “out and you’re shouting at me?“I’m telling you, you better get lost if you knew what’s good for you. Otherwise, forget this 1000 bucks, I’ll make you pay for the food you ate in my house too!”These two sentences made Ms. Tiana explode. She raised her hand to throw the apply Jasper peeled for her at Jeff.“Get out! Get out right now!”Taken aback, the apple hit Jeff square in the face as juice spurted all over his head. He shouted at Ms. Tiana angrily, “How dare you throw things at me, old woman?!”“How dare you throw an apple at me because of an outsider?”“I call you mom because you gave birth to me and took care of me. But if you’re treating me like this, then I won’t even call you ‘Mom’!”“Why do I have to acknowledge you as my mom when you’re throwing things at me because of an outsider? Give me 500 thousand and I’ll sever all familial ties with you!”Ms. Tiana panted and pointed at Jeff from where she sat on the bed and said, “Get out! Forget 500 thousand, I won’t even spare you 5 cents! You rascal!”“Yes, don’t acknowledge me as your mom at all! I don’t need a rascal like you for a son anyway! Get out right now!”Jeff scoffed and raised his hand to wipe the juice off his face. “Fine, then! You want me to leave, right? Then I’ll go back and tell the world about how horrible you treat me, old hag!”“Don’t you cherish your reputation the most? I’d like to see how you plan to live with your head held high once I ruin your reputation!”“You keep saying that you can’t use the foundation’s money, so where did you get the money for such an expensive hospital room, then? You must’ve used that money!”“You’re already a dead woman walking at this point, so what’s the point in holding on to that money? You’d rather hold on to money you won’t have the time to enjoy instead of giving it to your son, me.”“How’re you going to face my dad once you die, huh?”“Are you done? ”Jasper interrupted Jeff’s maddening shouts coldly.Jeff immediately glared at Jasper and chuckled wretchedly, “Who are you to talk here, stupid f*cker?”“You’re right, I am an outsider.”Jasper did not seem to care about what Jeff said as he continued on his own.Indeed, people like Jeff were nothing more than an ant in comparison to Jasper’s current self.No matter how sensitive or petty a person was, they would not care about an ant boasting in front of them. Thus, Jasper was completely unfazed and calm in the face with Jeff’s venomous words.However, what truly chilled Jasper to the core was Jeff’s attitude toward his mother, Ms. Tiana.Life at the Top Chapter 1250Everyone had parents. Jasper thought of his own and could not help but ask Jeff a question.“But I have parents too. So, I’m really curious just what kind of b*stard child you have to be in order to say something like that to your mom.”Jeff’s expression darkened at Jasper’s questioning.The man’s words had touched the little shred of dignity he still had in him, and it made him feel mortified.“As an outsider, I really didn’t plan on interfering in your family issue, but there’s something I have to tell you since it’s the foundation you’re targeting.”Jasper looked at Jeff and chuckled.“The money in the foundation you have your eyes on belongs to me. It’s my investment that your mother’s managing, and she does not have the right to use this money as she wishes. Every single cent taken from this foundation has to undergo a professional review before it can be transferred.”“Of course, telling a rascal all this is pointless because people like you will never understand the management of a foundation’s funds.“All you know is probably the insignificant amount before your eyes that you equated with your mom’s hard work.”As that moment, Jeff was too shocked to even get upset at the disdain in Jasper’s tone.He felt his blood vessels were about to burst.Jeff was only so aggressive to his mother because he came to know that she was managing a total investment of 10 million worth of funds.As far as Jeff was concerned, an amount of 10 million was pretty much beyond his imagination.He did not think there was a problem in taking a small amount out of this mountain of funds.However, he had never expected this investment to belong to Jasper.‘Doesn’t this mean that the poor boy Mom brought home to feed every day before is already the owner of a huge business and has at least 10 million worth of assets?’Jeff shuddered as if electrocuted when he thought of this.“Bullsht! You haven’t even seen so much fcking money in your life before! You think you’d get to pull out that much money so easily?”Jeff said in disbelief.Jasper shook his head and replied calmly, “Whether you believe me or not doesn’t matter. Why do I have to prove it to you?“All you need to know is that I speak the truth, and your mom’s right not to give you any money. That’s all.”Then, Jasper shouted at the door.“Jul.”“Right here!”Julian, who had been waiting outside the room door, was immediately energized as he pushed open the door to respond courteously.“Have this rascal kneel at the door.”Julian immediately entered the room upon hearing Jasper’s instruction.At the end of the day, Julian was a human too and still held human emotions. Therefore, he had nothing but distaste for the rascal Jeff who scolded and swore at his own mother.“What, what are you doing?”Jeff shouted in fright. His physique was not that bad, so he had planned to struggle and fight back. Unfortunately, not even 100 Jeffs were a match for one Julian.More than ten seconds later, Jeff screamed pitifully as Julian forced him to kneel at the door.After having all four of his limbs dislocated by Julian, Jeff wailed tragically.“He’s hitting me! I’m getting beaten up! Is there no sense of order around here?! How dare you beat me up in broad daylight!“Mom! Are you just going to watch me get beaten up?”The man had just finished speaking when the hospital room opened again to reveal Mr. Knowles and a group of professionals.
