When Jake was close to getting the opportunity to humiliate Jasper, he heard four unenthusiastic words.
“Alright, I’ll do it.”
Jasper’s four words caused Jake to have a million words in his head but he was unable to even utter one word.
“What did you say?” Jake narrowed his eyes and looked at Jasper.
“I’ll take this bet. If I win, you’ll kneel and formally become my apprentice. Of course, you have to kneel and grovel. It’ll depend on my mood if I want to take you as my apprentice.
“And vice versa,” Jasper said fully.
Jake laughed angrily and said, “Alright, you’re the one who said this. I’ll take this bet!
“Country bumpkin from Mainland, remember this, the worst mistake in your life is stealing this market rescue because you seek to impress people by taking on more than your ability. From this moment on, you’re going to have your reputation swept away!”
Jake smiled coldly and said, “The facts will tell you that Harbor Stocks is the one place where all the international capitals come together. On the other hand, a country bumpkin from Mainland like you will only be an ignorant and narrow-minded toad. You have no idea how big the outside world is!”
“I have no idea how big the outside world is, but there are a lot of idiots in society nowadays,” Jasper said insipidly.
Jake said sharply and unkindly, “Don’t think you’re all that because you’re quick-witted. I’ve seen a lot of people like you. They don’t have any talents and only know how to dupe people with their smart mouths, but actually, they’re just lying.
“I’ve seen more than you think you know. I can even make a name for myself in a place like Wall Street, so who do you think you are?” Jake said disdainfully.
“Not bad. You’re indeed educated so that’s why you keep saying the same old stuff. Remember what you just said so you can reminisce about them when you eat your words later. It’ll help you make clear of reality.”
After he said that, Jasper did not want to pay any more attention to this simpleton. He entered the door while talking to Zachary.
Then, the group went into the house together. Nobody paid any attention to Jake.
“Mr. Cullen, shall we go in?”
