Life at the Top Chapter 449

Jasper felt awkward.

That was a difficult question to answer.

After all, Anna was sitting right there.

However, no matter what, Jasper had never thought of denying things.

This had to do with his principles.

Thus, Jasper nodded as he said, “Yes, we were classmates in high school before later going on
separate paths before university. By chance, we managed to reconnect after graduating this year.”

Old Master Law smiled and said, “Not bad. Fate is the most important thing in a relationship between a
man and a woman. If fate won’t have it, they won’t have a future together even if they see each other
every day.”

Anna interrupted and said, “They have a great relationship. I already knew about this back when
Jasper was still in Harbor City.”

Jasper gave Anna a grateful look.

Tonight was not the first time Anna had helped him out in regards to this matter.

Henry dangled a toothpick from his mouth and leaned against the back of his chair as he said
nonchalantly, “Who cares if you have a girlfriend or not? My grandfather has three mistresses. And if
we’re talking about my dad, I think we all can guess whether he has a mistress or not…”

The things Henry said were so shocking that Anna immediately gave him a murderous glare.

“Why do you seem to hope that Jasper will have mistresses as well?” Anna smiled coldly as she asked.



Henry was stunned. It seemed unreasonable that his sister was choosing to direct her attacks on him.

Jasper was the one with a girlfriend, not him. If he brought up the topic of mistresses now, would that
not give Anna leeway to butt into things as a mistress?

Yet, not only was she not grateful, but she was also glaring at him?

“Do you know what era you’re living in now? Aren’t you worried about being laughed at when you bring
up the topic of mistresses?” Anna asked with a cold expression on her face.

Then, Old Master Law spoke up, “What Henry said makes sense. Both men and women should hold on
to the relationships they cherish. Live your life for yourself, not for others.”

That statement seemed to have a deeper meaning to it. However, it was hard to tell if it was directed at
Jasper or Anna.

However, the topic of conversation soon changed. No one brought it up again.

Old Master Law’s age could not be denied. When Zachary returned, arrangements were made for them
to return to the hotel.

When they were in the hotel lobby, Anna smiled at Jasper as she said, “I’ll go back with my dad and
grandpa. The two of you should get going too.”

Jasper nodded as he gazed at the woman before him and said sincerely, “Thank you for today.”

The corners of Anna’s lips curled upward. “What are you thanking me for?”

“…” Jasper was speechless.

He could not thank her outright for helping him cover up and smoothing things over, could he?



As if she could sense Jasper’s hesitance, Anna smiled slightly and said, “Alright, I was just teasing. I
understand.

“Besides, this has always been something between the three of us—you, me, and Wendy. It has
nothing to do with anyone else, and they have no right to use this to stir up trouble even if they’re
family!”

At that moment, Anna was domineering like no other person.

When she finished speaking, Anna gazed bemusedly at Jasper as she said, “Indeed, many people in
Harbor City have mistresses. The same thing happens in Mainland, just that they’re much more quiet
and private about it over there. Most people are very open to having mistresses in Harbor City. Back in
my grandfather’s day, it was legal to have concubines.

“What are your thoughts?” Anna asked meaningfully.

“I think what Old Master Law said makes sense. Let fate decide matters between a man and a woman.
We should live our lives for ourselves and not for others. It’ll be fine as long as we think it’s fine.”

Jasper had thought twice about every word and spun them around his mind several times before he
uttered them.

Anna glared at him as she said angrily, “I knew men were all b*stards! I knew you would never be able
to satiate your appetite!”

Jasper hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean it that way. I’m just stating facts as they are.”

Anna burst into laughter when she saw how frantic Jasper was and said, “Alright, I’m not blaming you. I
grew up in that kind of environment and have witnessed quite a few things myself. In terms of
grandmothers, I already have three just from my dad’s side of the family.”



Then, Anna gazed meaningfully at Jasper as she said, “But times are different now. Don’t let your
imagination run away from you. I might not be willing to do such things for you.”

While the two talked, Henry was wise enough to walk away and go for a smoke.

He had actually wanted to eavesdrop, but Anna’s glare was enough to scare him off.

As Henry smoked, he thought sadly to himself how his dignity as an older brother was diminishing day
by day. It was not a good sign… even though he never really had much dignity as an older brother.

Zachary frowned as he sat in the car and watched his daughter speak to Jasper.

“What are you looking at? Anna’s growing up now. You can’t control her anymore. Did you think you
could tie her by your side forever?” Old Master Law asked nonchalantly.

Zachary smiled bitterly as he said, “Jasper was originally the most suitable candidate, and I approved
greatly of them. However, the problem is that he already has a girlfriend.”

“You’re holding that against Jasper? Perhaps you should introduce us to your mistress, Blair Callow,”
Old Master Law said calmly.

The expression on Zachary’s face changed as he hurriedly asked, “Dad, how did you know?”

Old Master Law glared at Zachary as he said, “Did you think you could keep it from everyone and
anyone? Anna’s mom simply can’t be bothered to get involved, and she knows she can’t do anything
about it either. Either way, what gives you the right to judge Jasper when you’re the same?”

Zachary said indignantly, “How is that the same? Anna is my daughter and your granddaughter. How
could she become someone’s mistress?”



“That’s not up to you to decide, nor is it up to me to decide. The decision is hers to make. What’s more,
Anna has a fiery spirit. She might not want to be one even if you allow it. She has a mind of her own.”

Old Master Law said softly, “I won’t allow you to interfere with their relationship. No matter if it ends well
or not, it’s up to them how they wish to proceed.”

Zachary said rather reluctantly, “But Dad—”

He had not finished speaking when Old Master Law interrupted, “You think Jasper doesn’t know what
he’s doing? The worst thing you can do now is intervene. If Anna is okay with it, we don’t need to
offend Jasper regarding this matter. Once a grudge over something like this is created, it can be held
on to for life.”

Zachary sighed as he said, “I don’t feel good about it, but how can I separate the two lovebirds? I can’t
bring myself to do that.”
