Life at the Top

Chapter 211

The moment Jake bumped into Jasper again, he gritted his teeth. He was so eager to pounce on Jasper and feast on him!

After coming back from the Laws’ household that day, Jake had been listening to people singing praises at Jasper while they mocked him.

He wondered who was the loudmouth who spread out the news of him being humiliated by Jasper in the Laws’ household.

As such, he, Jake, a rich and influential person who led his life as if he was the main character in a novel, suddenly became the opposing character in a novel instead…

He would himself in the office for almost the entire day and not come out.

He knew that after this incident, he had humiliated his entire family throughout Harbor City. From then onward, no one would be willing to cooperate with him.

He, as a stock trader, had no funds to invest in himself, hence what awaited him in the future was only death.

Jake did not even consider whether to go to other countries to develop.

However, at that moment, Henry’s men had found him.

Jake did not have the guts to not show up when faced with Henry’s summon.

At this moment, he was looking at Jasper who was sitting on the balcony. His back was facing the sunny sky, and his casual white shirt made him look handsome under the umbrella.

Even Jake had to admit that Jasper’s appearance and aura were definitely of a prestigious person.

‘This guy, he’s from a family that’s slightly of the lower class. If only he was from an affluent family of Harbor City, perhaps he might be a very successful person.’

That was what Jake thought as he made his way to Jasper and Henry.

“Have a seat.” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Jasper pointed at the only empty seat.

Jake said with a cold smile, “You called me over to continue humiliating me? You should begin right now. The winner is the king and the fallen will be the loser. I’ve got nothing to comment on that. However, in regards to sitting, I’ll pass on that.”

“Humiliate you?”

At that moment, Henry was not happy and said scornfully, “F*ck you. Who do you think you are? Do you have any idea how busy we are right now? There’s a ton of stuff waiting to be settled. Who has the spare time to humiliate you? You’ve really overestimated yourself.”

While being lectured, Jake gritted his teeth and roared, “Then why did you guys call me over here? Don’t tell me we’re here to be friends?”

“It’s not that accurate if you say it’s to be friends, but we can’t say it’s wrong from a different perspective,” said Jasper with a soft chuckle.

Jake looked at Jasper with a hostile gaze. He realized he was no longer able to see through what was going through the mind of that person.

“Harbor City is a very important place. However, I can’t possibly stay in Harbor City forever. So, I need someone in Harbor City to help me settle some issues regarding business.”

Jasper said it without beating around the bush. He tapped on Jake and continued saying, “You’re one of the candidates.”

Jake found it hilarious yet felt exasperated at the same time. He said, “You’re not holding a grudge against me and are even thinking of putting me in a very important position? Do you think I’m some three-year-old kid who’s easily cheated?”

Jasper stood up and walked to the side of the balcony.

Jake was in doubt, hence he followed as well and stood not far away from Jasper.

At that moment, if it was not for a group of security guards glaring from a place not far away, Jake might really push Jasper down to end everything.

However, that was just a quick flash of an idea. Jake was aware that if he did that, he would be taken down before he could even make a move.

Even though he hated Jasper, the hatred he had was not to a point where he would take him down with his life.

“Harbor City is indeed a city that can spellbind others. It’s full of temptation, isn’t it?”

Jasper faced the wind and the vast sky that was hundreds of meters wide. He said those words while facing the entire Harbor City.
