Life at The Top novel Chapter 13

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 became irritated and looked at Jasper contemptuously, wanting to see panic and fear on his face.

“Jasper, why don’t you look in the mirror to see what you look like? Are you qualified to participate in this kind of event?”

Jasper looked at Penelope’s ugly face and said stoically, “If I’m not, are you?”

Penelope curled her lips disdainfully and said, “Of course, I am. I was invited by Mr. Lewis himself. And what about you? Do you think yourself superior just because you found a rich woman? Let me tell you, you’ve lost even the most basic dignity of a man!

“Jasper, don’t you realize that a lowly person will forever be a lowly person? Even though you’re here in a rented suit, you’re still inferior!”

Penelope’s tone was harsh and full of contempt.

Jasper, who was in the center of the storm, was not as angry as Penelope imagined. He remained extremely cold.

For Jasper, Penelope was nothing but a pesky fly that would not leave him alone. She was a little annoying, and her intentions to harm him were simply wishful thinking.

At this time, a hearty voice from a middle-aged man sounded.

“Penelope, what’s wrong?” Hugh walked over.

Seeing Hugh, the group of bosses who had talked and laughed with Jasper before all went up to greet him. Even John gave Jasper an apologetic look before going up to greet him.

After all, Hugh was in full swing at the moment. They could not afford to offend him.

“Nothing. I saw an acquaintance.”

Penelope looked at Jasper with a sneer, revealing a fearless aura that oozed from every inch of her body.

“This guy is actually a poor man. He found a rich woman to bring him here. I was worried that the other bosses were being deceived, so I exposed him.”

Jasper looked at Penelope and said calmly, “I was brought in by someone else, but you came here on your own?”

Penelope sneered and said, “How can you compare yourself to me? I was brought here by Mr. Lewis.”

Jasper was no stranger to the name Hugh Lewis. He was the most legendary stock god in the city. He used 2,000 dollars back then to enter the market that year and earned 20 million in just a few years. Later, he founded Lantern Capital, which was regarded as the city’s first financial company in the truest sense.

However, according to his memory, Hugh failed in various investments this year, which caused investors to lose confidence and withdraw from his company. Due to limited funds, Hugh made a desperate move and invested heavily in Tycoon Industry and then… Tycoon Industry was delisted.

Hugh lost everything and was sentenced to 14 years in prison for the crime of illegal fundraising.
