Life at The Top novel Chapter 165

Those who were listening to Zane thought that he made perfect sense as well.

At this point in time, most people from Harbor City were still extremely xenophobic. They looked down on all outsiders, especially Mainlanders.

They felt that the Mainland was a land of barren hills and turbulent rivers where savages lived. It was a barbaric place.

In their eyes, Jasper’s actions showed that he was chasing for clout while being reluctant to spend his money.

Seeing that many people agreed with him, Zane stared at Jasper contemptuously. “Did I get it right? Shut up and stay by the side quietly, you dog. Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?” He drawled confidently.

Zane’s expression turned stony as he spoke. “I can’t even stand your dog-like stench when I’m seated in the same room as you. You stink,” he growled in anger.

“Mr. Zane Lancaster bid 2 million Harbor Dollars. 2 million Harbor Dollars going once. Does anyone think that this Angel’s Heart is worth a higher price?”

The host did not want to join in the fight raging on between the two wealthy men. However, he had to carry out his responsibilities. Thus, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout out into the microphone.

Right then, Zane smirked at Jasper. He was absolutely certain that he would defeat Jasper tonight.

“Follow the bid! Why don’t you follow the bid? Aren’t you extremely capable of doing so?”

Jasper’s silence fueled Zane’s satisfaction. Jasper must have used up all the tricks he had up his sleeves. Zane guffawed loudly. “If you don’t have the money, you can always borrow some from the Laws. Anyways, you’re just a dog that the Laws brought home,” he said.

“Or do you mean to say that the Laws won’t bother to lend that much money to a dog like you? Right, you’re just a dog. Who’d want to spend money on someone like you? Hahahaha!”

As Zane laughed maniacally, everyone stared at Jasper while anticipating what would happen next. They could not wait to see if he would rise up against Zane’s attack or accept his defeat.

Even the group of big bosses were paying attention to the development of the situation in an interested manner.

“Mr. Law, it seems like this young man that you look so highly upon is nothing special.”

Bob Lancaster had been displeased with Jasper for some time now. Upon seeing his own son deal Jasper a harsh blow, he laughed out loud and joked to Zachary Law.

Zane smirked. “It’s not over yet. Don’t jump to conclusions,” he said.

“Oh, I think the result is already out.”
