Life at The Top novel Chapter 880

Scarlet felt rather disappointed, for she thought that Jasper would speak to her more. She had not expected that their interaction to be limited to a brief greeting at the very start, as the man seemed to have forgotten her existence altogether just a moment later.

“Oh, right.” Jasper suddenly turned around after walking quite a distance away.

“There’s another gala tonight. Scarlet, would you be interested in coming with me as my plus one?”

When he said this, the large group of superstars and A-line celebrities all looked at Scarlet enviously.

There was indeed a ceremonial banquet happening that night, and only top-notch bigshots like the Law family would be attending. This was the type of banquet that the celebrities could only dream of joining.

While some famous celebrities had already received an invitation, it was very different going by themselves, and going as Jasper’s companion.

A few specific female celebrities set their sights on Scarlet, their gazes boring a hole into her.

“Yes, of course!”

Scarlet was temporarily stunned, feeling as if she had just won the lottery, but replied ecstatically.

“Alright, I’ll have someone pick you uplater, then.” Jasper smiled and left cooly.

After he left, all the celebrities, famous and not, came over to them. A small portion of them wanted to know what Stephen and Jasper had been talking about, while the majority stepped forward to make friends with Scarlet.

This was the charm of power and wealth.

Scarlet felt her mind blur as celebrities much more famous than her who would never have previously given her the time of day now surrounded her. One single thought surfaced in her mind.

‘It must be nice being rich and powerful.’

…

Thanks to the press, the already-famous project now became a household name. Following that, the ceremonial banquet involving most of Harbor City’s and the Mainland’s rich and famous only further spread the name of the Southface River.

More than half of the South were now aware of this place known as the Southface River.
