The moment Jake bumped into Jasper again, he gritted his teeth. He was so eager to pounce on Jasper and feast on him!
After coming back from the Laws’ household that day, Jake had been listening to people singing praises at Jasper while they mocked him.
He wondered who was the loudmouth who spread out the news of him being humiliated by Jasper in the Laws’ household.
As such, he, Jake, a rich and influential person who led his life as if he was the main character in a novel, suddenly became the opposing character in a novel instead…
He would himself in the office for almost the entire day and not come out.
He knew that after this incident, he had humiliated his entire family throughout Harbor City. From then onward, no one would be willing to cooperate with him.
He, as a stock trader, had no funds to invest in himself, hence what awaited him in the future was only death.
Jake did not even consider whether to go to other countries to develop.
However, at that moment, Henry’s men had found him.
Jake did not have the guts to not show up when faced with Henry’s summon.
At this moment, he was looking at Jasper who was sitting on the balcony. His back was facing the sunny sky, and his casual white shirt made him look handsome under the umbrella.
Even Jake had to admit that Jasper’s appearance and aura were definitely of a prestigious person.
‘This guy, he’s from a family that’s slightly of the lower class. If only he was from an affluent family of Harbor City, perhaps he might be a very successful person.’
That was what Jake thought as he made his way to Jasper and Henry.
“Have a seat.”
Jasper pointed at the only empty seat.
