Life at the Top

Chapter 98

Jasper said directly.

However, it was as if Zachary did not hear him and was already getting up to leave.

“Jasper, are you insane? Who do you think you are? You even want to talk to Mr. Law? F*ck off if you don’t have the money! Who the hell wants to talk to you?” Zayden cackled maniacally and said.

Jasper did not pay attention to Zayden who was acting like a mad dog right now. At this critical moment, Jasper looked at Anna and said, “Miss Law, just think of this as me owing you a favor.”

Anna frowned. She did not understand what Jasper was trying to do, but for some reason, she grabbed her father. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“Dad, let’s hear what he has to say.”

Zachary looked at his daughter in surprise. Then, he shifted his gaze to Jasper and said, “Young man, I’m just a spectator for this auction. It’s useless to talk to me.”

“It’s a fact that the gavel has already fallen for this auction, but I want to talk to you about another major business,” Jasper said confidently.

On one side, Henry was feeling pissed because he was lectured earlier by his father due to Jasper. As such, he said immediately, “What major business can there be? Stop wasting our time. Go away.”

“Henry, Dad has not spoken yet, so why are you interrupting?” Anna said bluntly.

Henry was fuming. He did not expect an outside like Jasper to cause him to be lectured by his father and his little sister to roll her eyes at him.

However, even if he was the big brother, he was genuinely scared of his sister who was extremely tough ever since she was younger. He also knew that his position in his father’s heart could not compare to his sister’s, so he shut his mouth quickly.

“Young man, you have good skills. Why don’t we do this? I’m going to get into the car and go back to the hotel. You can talk to me during the journey.” After Zachary said that, he walked forward.

Jasper followed after him, and this time, the bodyguards did not stop him.

Anna gave Jasper her seat so he could sit with her father.

Jasper looked at her appreciatively and said, “Mr. Law, the rich and powerful in Harbor City stand in great numbers, but to me, the Laws are the only big shots.”

Jasper was not buttering Zachary up at all when he said that.

Old Master Law was an upright person. Back when Harbor City returned to the sovereignty of Mainland, because of the Laws’ full support, they were beaten down by the authorities so all they got were some strenuous and unrewarding businesses that were not profitable anymore.

However, Old Master Law carried them all on his shoulders.

After the handover, Old Master Law was the first one to go back to Mainland for investment. Basically, he had focused on people’s welfare and infrastructure. His first consideration was not profits but the improvement of everyone’s living conditions.

Based on this alone, Old Master Law was a senior who Jasper looked up to no matter in this life or his previous life.

After Zachary heard that, he chuckled and said, “Thank you for the compliments, but is this related to what you want to say to me? I’m sorry, but you don’t have much time.”

“Mr. Law, I can help you earn back the nine billion your family lost during the financial crisis in the year of the handover!”

After he said this, Zachary stopped. The three family members shifted their gazes to Jasper.

Even the expression of the leader of the city hall standing next to them changed.

‘Jasper Laine, what nonsense are you spewing? It’s easy to talk big, but if you can’t do it and infuriate the Laws, then it’ll be such an undeserved catastrophe.’

However, Jasper’s expression did not change. He was looking straight into Zachary’s examining eyes without giving in.

After the handover, the Terra financial crisis swept through Southeast Terra and a lot of countries suffered terrible losses. Even though Harbor City was depending on Mainland, so they did not suffer too much of a loss, the Laws lost nearly tens of billions of Harbor Dollars to save the economy of Harbor City.

It was because of this loss, the Laws were slightly worse off than the current influential big four families.

Plus, it would be extremely difficult for them to catch up.

Even though the Laws did not regret this, they knew the pain they had been through.

However, Jasper was now saying he could save them from this crisis and Zachary could not help but feel moved.

“Young man, do you know what will happen if you go back on your promise?” Zachary asked.

Jasper got close to Zachary’s ear and whispered, “Mr. Law, I’m the individual shareholder for crude oil futures back then.”

Finally, there were changes in Zachary’s expression.

It was because Jasper had already proved to him that he was as good as his word.

“What do you want out of this?” Zachary looked at Jasper.

“A collaboration with the Laws. You don’t have to invest anything because this collaboration will be profitable to both sides, including the development project for the south bank of the Southface River.”
