Victory in Life
Chapter 581
Darrel did not sit down, choosing to stand up and talk to Jasper instead. "Jasper, is the Southface River construction site on fire?"
There was no way such a serious incident could be covered up.
Although it is still a new year holiday, it is not a reason for the media not to report such a big incident.
The news of the fire at the Southface River construction site is being talked about all over the Southeast Province.
This was the first major incident in 2001.
"Indeed, there's no way we could have predicted such an accident," Jasper replied calmly.
Darrel's expression conflicted as he spoke softly, "Jasper, is this you're losing big because of that, aren't you?"
"Not too much, only 100 million." Jasper's tone was relaxed as if he was talking about 100 dollars.
"Why? you sound very concerned about this."
Jasper's words made Darrel shudder, Darrel looked at Jasper with a deep gaze, and his knees suddenly bent forward as he knelt on the ground, with sobs, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Jasper! please forgive me!"
Squinting his eyes, Jasper did not move, he did not even help Darrel stand up as he looked at him kneeling in front of him, Jasper just spoke calmly, "What are you doing that needs my forgiveness?"
As if he had made the biggest decision, Darrel clenched his jaw and replied, "I'm the one who lit the fire!"
Jasper did not reply and just stared at Darrel.
Under Jasper's gaze, Darrel felt as if the oxygen around him was sucked in and he could no longer breathe freely.
After some time, when Darrel's forehead was filled with sweat droplets and he felt like he was going to suffocate, Jasper finally broke the silence.
"Do you know what your biggest weakness is, Darrel?"
Jasper smiled and continued to speak, "You can't lie."
"That's why I've decided from the beginning that you can't be a businessman, I even decided that if you make a big loss, I'll still cover you up and pay off your debt."
"But I never thought I'd be the first person you lied to since our partnership."
"It's a pity I didn't plan on messing around with this lie for you."
Darrel shivered and looked at Jasper in disbelief. "Jasper, what..."
Jasper picked up the coffee cup and sipped on it as he spoke calmly, "Terence lit the fire, didn't he?"
Darrel was shocked and pale.
"And the reason why you're willing to take the blame for her is so that I don't investigate, right? you could have been quiet and pretended not to know anything, after all, she did a very clean job and it would have been very difficult for me to hold her accountable."
Then, Jasper smiled. "Of course, that was before you decided to come and be his scapegoat, now I know he did it."
Darrel shook his head instinctively. "No, I'm the one behind it, it has absolutely nothing to do with him"
"Darrell Laine!"
Suddenly Jasper shouted and slammed the coffee cup onto the stone table loudly. Coffee splattered everywhere, soaking up the area.
"As far as I'm concerned, spoiled brat is not the cause of the loss, with all the problems caused, he said, it was only a matter of time before people like him realized that not everyone in this world was his parents and no one was obligated to help him."
"Those who are truly evil are the ones who still decided to let him go despite knowing that he had made a huge mistake under the pretext of protecting her, now these people can just leave right away!"
