Chapter 11
“Try it on,” Jasper ignored the two of them and said to Wendy with a smile. In the last life, he dared not get close to Wendy, but this life was different. He was rich and would be even richer in the future! When a man did not have to think about his financial situation, he would naturally radiate the charm of self-confidence—not to mention Jasper who had led two lives. As Wendy said before, the two completely different temperaments of maturity and youth were intertwined. It was like a drug that made women unable to extricate themselves. Looking at the necklace lying in the jewelry box, it looked even more radiant under the bright light of the Cartier counter. Wendy felt a little flustered. It was not because of the valuable price tag of 800,000, however. As the daughter of the richest man in the province, this was not enough to shock her. It was mainly because under Jasper’s gaze, Wendy felt incredibly nervous. It was not appropriate to put her hands anywhere and she dared

Royce Villa. It was the most famous private club in the local area. It was said that the boss behind the scenes was a formidable figure with a very strong background. Jasper had heard of this place in his previous life. At that time, the boss of his company was a member here. As for the boss behind the scenes of Royce Villa, he was naturally not qualified to get in touch with him. Now, standing at the entrance of Royce Villa, he already possessed the capability to be ranked among the top financial circles in the city. “Jasper, you’re finally here.” John Jackson smiled and greeted him with a beautiful female companion by his side. On this sort of occasion, the protagonists were the men, but there were many ways for men to show their strength. The quality of the women around them was one of the most powerful ways. However, the female companion John brought was completely crushed by Wendy from all angles. “John, thank you for giving me such a chance.” John waved his hand

She was shocked when she saw Jasper, but she reacted immediately. He must have entered under the banner of someone else. Otherwise, how could he appear at such a high-end party with his abilities? Penelope snorted with a sneer on her face. She walked toward Jasper on her own initiative. Her snooty voice interrupted Jasper who was chatting with John and the others. “Oh, Jasper, I didn't expect you to be here!” This sentence immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him. John frowned and looked at Jasper. However, Jasper remained indifferent. “Acting cool!” Penelope sneered and said, “You’re nothing but a poor wretch through and through. You actually came here to pretend to be rich? “Listen up. He’s just a man who relies on women. He only managed to get in here because he found a rich woman. All of you are big figures. Don’t be fooled by him!” Penelope sneered, thinking that he was being taken care of by Wendy who she saw that day! Thinking of this, she b

“Haha, kiddo!” Hugh was silent for a moment, then he laughed out loud. “Young man, as the stock god, it seems that you’re very arrogant!” “Stock god or not, it’s just a title. I don’t care for it. But if someone wants to act all high and mighty because of a woman, then I can’t be bothered with it,” Jasper retorted again. The reason was simple—because Penelope was using Hugh to try and dominate him. Others may be afraid of Hugh, but not Jasper. The current Hugh Lewis had reached a turning point where his prosperity was bound to decline. Several of his investments would be in trouble in the second half of the year, and all of them would go bust, which would eventually lead to a break in the capital chain of Lantern Capital. Moreover, in Jasper’s opinion, Hugh’s downfall would happen sooner or later. With such a personality, who else would die if not him? “Young man, it’s useless to talk big. Since everyone is here and the market will open in half an hour, why don’t we make a

As soon as this remark was uttered, everyone was shocked. The people who mocked him before could no longer laugh. The venue was filled with sounds of gasps. An item bought for 500,000 could be sold for 35 million?! 35 million! At this moment, even those wealthy bosses were jealous. The ones who were most incredulous were Penelope and Richton. Their faces were distorted with jealousy. No one knew better than them for they had watched Jasper buy this ruby pendant for 500,000. At that time, they even laughed at Jasper for being cheated of his money. Now, it turned out that the ruby pendant was actually worth 35 million?! Penelope’s heart was dripping with blood. They both felt that this piece of jewelry should belong to them and that 35 million was also theirs! “Jasper Laine, why didn't you say that this piece of ruby is so valuable?” Penelope pointed at Jasper and screamed. “Are you crazy or is there something wrong with your brain?” Jasper said coldly, “Why should

Although Penelope was reluctant to admit so, she knew that what Wendy was to her would just be like a swan to an ugly duckling.Overcome with low self-esteem and jealousy, words began spilling out of her mouth uncontrollably. Wendy was not angered by Penelope’s insults. She simply shook her head. “You’re really hopeless. You take pride in sleeping with other men, but do you think all women are like you? I’m sorry, I’m not a woman like that,” she said.  Everyone was immersed in the way Wendy carried herself. Ever since she appeared, Hugh had been staring at her lustfully.  Even if he were to disregard her angelic beauty, she trumped all his other women with her elegant demeanor.  How could he miss out on a woman like that?   “Well said!”   Hugh, who had already fallen for Wendy’s charms, was the first to shout out supportively.   Penelope’s face paled. She looked at the man beside her in disbelief.   Why was he supporting Wendy Schuler? Could he not see that she was s

Hugh requested a checkbook immediately after speaking. He wrote out a check for 15 million dollars and signed it. He then slammed it onto the table. “If you win, take everything. All this money will be yours! However, you need the skills to win first,” he said.  “Wow… Mr. Lewis actually agreed to it…”   Everyone burst out into an uproar instantly. This bet was reaching up to 100 million dollars!  In 2000, even someone with just a million dollars would be envied for being a millionaire, let alone 100 million dollars!  Even to the high-status people present right now, a bet worth 100 million dollars was shocking!  Furthermore, the person joining the bet was Hugh Lewis. This made everything even more interesting.   Looks of excitement appeared on everyone’s faces. They all could not wait for the round to begin.   Right then, the afternoon trading session began.The stocks were continuously fluctuating. The market changed every second. There was no way to guess what would

As depicted on the software program, Horizon Shares had stopped falling and began rising on an upward trend just like a dragon soaring up into the horizons! The stock for Horizon Shares rose up rapidly and reached the limit straight away!  Only a few minutes had passed since it fell to its limit!  Hugh’s eye twitched repeatedly as he stared at the upward trend line cutting through the entire screen. He could not believe it.   This was not as simple as a stock rising up vehemently against all expectations. Within a few minutes’ time, Hugh had lost 50 million dollars in cash!   50 million dollars in cash was enough for one to buy multiple real estate in a time like this!  “Oh my God… It has really… risen to the limit! Hundreds of thousands of stocks have been directly sealed…”  Someone shouted out loud in shock.   “How can this be… I’ve never seen such a trend in my entire life. It happened without any indications beforehand. How can this be possible?!”   Everyone’s he

Nobody wanted to trigger Hugh’s fury when he had just lost so much. Everyone remained silent.  “I’ve been dominating the stock market for so many years. When I made my fortune, that kid was still playing in the dirt. If he thinks that he can defeat me through this alone, he should continue dreaming!” Hugh yelled. He then turned around and left the venue. A slight frown formed on John’s face. He was worried about Jasper. Alas, Hugh was not wrong. He was an extremely powerful force in the stock market. Since he had made such a big loss, he would not just let it be. However, Jasper did not know about all this. He brought Wendy, who was still shocked from the previous surprising events, out of Royce Villa.   “How did you know for sure that the stocks for Horizon Shares would rise?” Wendy could not help asking him. Jasper had not revealed any signs of hesitation and fear since the very beginning. He seemed to be confident in how the results would turn out. If Wendy did not know th

In a luxurious villa within the province, Dawson Schuler raised his phone and laughed. “That means you really find this young man extremely capable?” he said. Wendy, who was seated in her office in Commercial Bank, replied intently, “For real, Dad. He’s the most capable person I’ve ever met in the financial industry. I know that the company is now in a financial slump. That’s why I intend to bring him to meet you,” she said. “Aren’t you bringing your boyfriend to meet me instead?” Dawson laughed out loud. A faint blush dusted Wendy’s cheeks. “Dad, I’m telling you something important,” she nagged. “Alright, alright,” Dawson replied, “Since he’s your friend, it’s alright if you bring him home for a meal. I have my own plans for other things. You shouldn’t overthink things. I’ve been through so many hardships throughout the years. This isn’t much of a problem. It can be solved quickly,” he added. From Dawson’s perspective, Wendy was still young. Her friend was also a young man
