Life at The Top novel Chapter 2040

The hall was crowded with guests. At a glance, one could see Old Master Law sitting in the first row. Old Master Law was not the only one here, as his family members were seated too. As for the rest of bigwigs hailing from different industries in the first row, any one of them would shake Somerland when they stomped their feet.

When Jasper saw them, he bowed and nodded in gratitude. Then, Jasper’s gaze stopped at the edge of the northeast corner, where the crippled Brown sat quietly with Adele beside him.

This was exactly that guy’s style, low-key, humble, restrained…

The other party seemed to sense Jasper’s gaze and nodded.

“Let’s all welcome Mr. Jasper Laine, the founder of JW, and his partner, Ms. Wendy Schuler!”

The host stood beside the stage and said impassionedly. At that moment, thunderous applause came from the audience.

Wendy understood that this was Jasper’s banquet, so she flashed a magnanimous and elegant smile to everyone. After she bowed, she automatically stood on the right side of the stage. She hid behind the curtain. Tonight, she just wanted to give Jasper the limelight.

Looking at the acquaintances under the stage, Jasper held the microphone in his hand. He initially had thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but at that moment, he suddenly did not know how to express them. He had experienced too much along the way. Looking back, he had already walked on all of the thorn-covered roads.

Jasper closed his eyes slightly, took a long breath, and then slowly opened his eyes to look at everyone under the stage.

“First of all, thank you very much for coming to this banquet. For everyone‘s approval of me, I thank you!” Jasper bowed deeply to the audience below the stage. He did a very standard 90-degree bow.

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

As Jasper got up, the applause from the audience gradually stopped.

“I, Jasper, like everyone else, want to do my part in times of national crisis. And I just gather everyone‘s strength and used it to fight. I’m just a representative. The people who truly shine is everyone in this country, every citizen of Somerland.”

Jasper said these words from the bottom of his heart. If there no funds were gathered by the higher-ups, if there was not so much support from different people, if there was no support from the crippled Brown and Celine behind the scenes, if…

Jasper really did not know what would happen if any one of these things was missing. All of this was inseparable from everyone’s efforts. This was what Jasper had been suppressing at the bottom of his heart.

The reporters at the scene were filming the scene with cameras. The event tonight would definitely go down in history.

The big shots in the financial circle of Somerland showed up together for the first time ever, and it was possible that they would never get the chance to see such a mind-blowing scene again in the future.

“It is my honor to be able to defend our country against foreign enemies alongside you. I am the one who should say thank you the most. We will only face more difficulties in the future, so I hope we can work together to get through difficulties in the future like we did today and to make the great revival happen!”

After he said that, there was applause. The applause at the scene was for Jasper alone.

Boom boom boom!

The firecrackers were lit outside, and hundreds of fireworks burst into the sky over Swallow Capital. The display was magnificent, making for a scene that was rarely seen in a over a hundred years.

There was also a very large display screen in the hall playing the scene of fireworks going off in the night sky.

As he was looking at the fireworks, Jasper’s eyes were shone brightly. He did not know what kind of changes would happen in the future, but he believed that everything would get better.

After the simple speech, Jasper took Wendy to the guest area. Jasper first went to Dawson.
