Life at The Top novel Chapter 561

He believed that he would definitely make a fortune one day. He had been so full of himself that he only felt disdain when he heard that Jasper had made it big.

From his perspective, success as described by a bunch of poor rural relatives could not be anything special.

However, he was overcome with overwhelming jealousy after seeing the luxurious villa and the row of BMWs parked in front of it. It was luxury beyond his wildest dreams.

“Can’t he share some of his money with us since he’s that rich? We’re his relatives! All he does is flaunt his wealth! How can someone like that succeed in life? Even if he’s rich, it’s just temporary. He’ll lose big in the future!” Terence Laine murmured through gritted teeth.

When Jasper arrived at Shangri-La Hotel, his relatives had already been there for more than 20 minutes.

Everyone sat in their respective seats while they engaged in noisy chatter.

Each and every one of them were trying their best to maintain their composure in front of each other. They tried their best not to turn their heads to look around, making it seem as if they often attended such high-end occasions.

However, the truth was that none of them had ever had a meal in a five-star hotel.

They did not even know how to use a napkin properly. Some of them stuffed it into their collars or put it under their dinner plates, whereas others used it as a towel to wipe their hands before balling it up and throwing it aside.

The three tables in the room had already been served with cold dish platters and drinks. The children stared at the exquisite dishes eagerly. However, the adults slapped their hands away when they reached out to grab the food.

Although the adults also yearned to try these exquisite cold dishes that they had never even seen before, nobody dared to touch their utensils before Jasper’s arrival.

Even as a mere junior, he had the ability to make all the elders in his family wait for him before they started eating. This was the charm that money brought.
