Life at the Top

Chapter 253

Mark yelled out in pain as he stumbled backward with his head in his hands. Blood oozed out between his fingers.

Jasper took a napkin and carefully cleaned the stains on his fingers. The gaze he directed at Mark and Steve was impossibly cold.

“It’s normal that you want to attack me, but we only look at a man’s power.

“If I lost, that means my ability isn’t up to par. Then I should surrender myself to you.

“However, that means you should do the same if you’ve lost.

“You should have never, ever, directed any of your filthy thoughts toward my woman.”

Mark felt his head throbbing and spinning as he raised it to look at Jasper. At that moment, he did not bother taking any more chances and decided he might as well say while grinning evilly, “Shut the f*ck up with your bullsh*t! Of course, you’re in the right when you’ve won!

“Kill me if you can!

“But do you dare to?

“Do you really f*cking dare kill me?

“You’ll have to pay a life with a life if you kill me!

“I’m the sole heir to the Zion family. You dare kill me while you’re in Brac County?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jasper laughed as he looked at Mark who still insisted on having the last say even when there was no chance of escape for him.

“I love seeing how emboldened you are. To you, your family losing its power would be much more painful than dying, wouldn’t it?

“If I can cause the Zion family’s shipbuilding company to go out of business, I can treat the entire Zion family as my playthings. When that happens, you, Mark Zion, will be worth even less than a b*tch in Brac County.”

Jasper patted Mark on the cheek and chuckled while saying, “You’ve made quite a number of enemies in Brac County over the years, haven’t you? Many would like to kill you even more than I do. Why would I dirty my hands with your blood?”

Mark’s pupils dilated when he heard that. He screamed, “It was you who contacted Harbor City and not Dawson Schuler?! You were behind all this?!

“Who the f*ck are you?!

“What the hell do you want?!”

Mark had flown into a state of genuine panic.

It was because he had realized that the actual mastermind behind this since the start was Jasper Laine, someone he had never paid attention to.

This had all been masterminded by Jasper.

How else could Julian’s betrayal be explained?

How else could Jasper’s calmness be explained?

However… How was that possible?

Was he not a poor b*tch? Where did he gain the power to influence the tycoons of Harbor City?

Fear washed over Mark as he thought about that. He suddenly realized that Jasper was filled with secrets and power.

Perhaps he could actually do what he claimed and sabotage the entire Zion family.

Mark did not dare imagine what would happen to him, who had made countless enemies in Brac County over the years, if that happened.

It would be an attack on the enemy while they were down!

Jasper smiled slightly. “I’ll give you another chance. Call your dad and get him to come to talk to me.”

The corners of Mark’s mouth twitched slightly with both fear and disbelief.

He could not think of any reason why Jasper would do that.

However, he understood that the situation was out of his control now. No matter what, he had to make that phone call.

Mark got out his phone with difficulty and dialed his dad’s number.

Jasper walked toward Steve and asked calmly, “How would you like to die?”
