If Jasper was so easily defeated, how could he have trusted him enough to take time off for his health at such a crucial time?
How could the Laws rest assured while placing such a large bet on him?
Countless discussions were still going on in the function hall.
A lot of people were shocked by Jasper’s strong financial power and boldness.
If he could take out 100 million Harbor Dollars in cash, no one would even bother to look at how much the Angel’s Heart was really worth. This 100 million Harbor Dollars would be enough to crush Zane Lancaster’s arrogant stance.
A dark expression formed on Zane’s face. Jasper had raised the bidding price to the maximum.
There was no way for him to continue following the bid.
He had been arrogant and smug up till a second ago. He suddenly snickered. “Alright, alright. You’re good. This jewelry piece is only worth a maximum of a few hundred thousand Harbor Dollars. This fool here actually bought it for 100 million Harbor Dollars. Don’t you know that others will just see you as a fool right now?
“It looks like you’re not just a dog. You’re a foolish, idiotic one.”
Forget the other people, even the Law siblings were shocked by the bidding price.
However, they knew that Jasper had earned a lot more than that from Zane and Mitch over these few days. Although they suspected that Jasper was just doing so to get back at Zane, they did not say much.
Beside him, Cindy Jung’s gaze shone in admiration as she stared at Jasper. He had just spent 100 million Harbor Dollars on a whim. A man like this simply oozed charm and charisma.
Nobody would follow a bid of 100 million Harbor Dollars.
After asking the price three more times in accordance with the rules, the host closed the bidding with a knock of the hammer before everyone’s gazes.
“Congratulations to Mr. Jasper Laine for successfully bidding for the Angel’s Heart at the monumental price of 100 million Harbor Dollars. I believe that Ms. Shannon White would also love to thank you from the heavens for your contribution to charity.”
This host was extremely witty. He knew that there was nothing the wealthy people here loved more than building a good reputation for themselves. Therefore, he showered Jasper in praise without a moment’s hesitation.
After that, a staff member held the Angel’s Heart on a tray and delivered it to Jasper.
After taking the Angel’s Heart, Jasper took out a cheque and put it on the tray.
