Jasper stared at Terence in shock.
To be honest, he did not achieve much in his past life. He did not meet up much with his relatives either and had never interacted much with Darrel and Terence Laine. Therefore, he had no idea what their personalities were like.
In his current life, Jasper would like to think that he had met quite a number of people; He had also dealt with all sorts of people.
However, he had never expected Terence Laine to go beyond his expectations of what it meant to be shameless.
The last time that Jasper had felt this way was when he was dealing with Penelope Hunt and her family.
Even when compared to them, Terence Laine was still the gold-standard.
“Why should I give you my money if I’m wealthy? Furthermore, it’s 200000 dollars that you’re asking for. Don’t you know that the average salary for a job out there is only a few hundred dollars? It’s considered a huge benefit if you have a salary of a thousand dollars,” Jasper told him.
Terence sneered coldly and waved his hand. “Stop spewing such nonsense. Aren’t you filthy rich? We’re all relatives. Shouldn’t you help us out if you’re rich? Do you want to see us suffer due to poverty? You’ve helped my brother as well. In that case, it isn’t too much to ask you to give me 200000 dollars, right?” He questioned.
“I funded your brother simply because I thought that his business would he profitable. Besides, I did not lend your brother the money. It was an investment. In other words, I’d invest this sum of money all the same even if he was a mere stranger instead of Darrel Laine,” Jasper said calmly.
“I’m doing this because it’s business, not because he’s my relative.
“I can support you if you have the capabilities, business idea, and are willing to put in the effort. However, look at you. You’re incapable and you don’t have any plans. You’re only asking me for money. Do you think that my wallet is an ATM? Do you think that you can take my money whenever you want?
“Everyone here is our relative. They all know my family’s situation. We were the poorest among everyone in the past. All of you were more well off in comparison to my family.
