Life at The Top novel Chapter 97

Zayden remembered the call he received from Sylva before he left the house.

The businessman from Harbor City had high hopes in them, and since they already had his support, the Hanks family had gathered most of their liquid funds for this.

Zayden had a huge volume of bargaining chips in his hand.

His dignity did not allow him to lose. Even though 1.5 billion was out of his budget, he was enraged as he gritted his teeth and called out, “1.5 billion!”

Zayden’s expression was near malevolent.

Everyone’s jaws dropped when they heard this price.

He also heard people sucking in their breaths.

At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their heads. The Hanks were not treating money like money.

“1.5 billion! Is there more? 1.5 billion going once!”

The emcee’s voice started to sound excited.

“1.5 billion going twice!”

Zayden chuckled and said to Jasper almost morbidly, “Go on. Why are you not increasing the price? Huh? Go on if you have the balls! I don’t f*cking believe that you have the money to bid until two billion!”

On the stage, Zachary turned his head and asked the person next to him, “Who’s that person who called out 1.2 billion?”

Immediately, someone leaned down next to his ear and said respectfully, “Mr. Law, he’s from JW Real Estates and belongs to the Schulers.”

Zachary nodded and looked at Jasper profoundly. Then, he said meaningfully, “This young man is pretty interesting.”

Henry got closer to him and said to Zachary, “Dad, the other man is called Zayden Hanks. I told you about him before. The young man you mentioned just now is obviously scared of Zayden’s bid increment. How unpromising. He’s terrified by just this.”
