Life at The Top novel Chapter 170

Zachary shook his head and laughed out loud.

Utterly amused, he could not miss out on the opportunity to mock Kennedy Langdon.

As expected, Kennedy’s expression darkened.

The other bosses chuckled happily after meeting gazes with each other.

Both situations occurred during an auction and involved a battle of wealth.

Nevertheless, the one who had the upper hand between Mitch and Jasper could easily be discerned.

“Mr. Mitch Langdon has called for a bid of 100 million Harbor Dollars for this blue and white porcelain bowl. Going once.

“Going twice.

“Going thrice, it’s a deal! Con-Congratulations to Mr. Mitch Langdon,” the host announced. The host did not even dare to look at Mitch, who had a ferocious expression etched on his face. He began auctioning the next item after carrying out the follow-up processes in a hurry.

The items to be auctioned grew fewer and fewer. Jasper did not call for a bid after that.

With a look that could kill etched on his face, Mitch was still fuming with rage. Nonetheless, Zane Lancaster, who was seated right beside Mitch, grew nervous.

He was extremely anxious.

He had not called for a bid up till now.

Using Mitch’s incident as a reference, he knew that Jasper would not let him go once he called for a bid.

However, he was in an urgent situation. If he gave up on the auction, others would mock him for being stingy. A lot of them would think that he was frightened of Jasper.

He could not be put to shame by this person.

Besides, he also knew that he could not embarrass his father, Bob Lancaster.

As the auction gradually progressed toward the end, a landscape painting by a famous painter from Harbor City was presented in front of the audience. Zane gritted his teeth. He decided to call for a bid.

“1.1 million Harbor Dollars.”

Zane, who had called for the bid, glanced at Jasper instinctively. He had already decided on a limit of ten million Harbor Dollars. If Jasper called for a bid higher than that, he would get back at him by giving up on the bid.

That way, he could prevent himself from losing a fortune.

Thinking about this, Zane’s lips curled into a smile.
