“You’re too courteous, Mr. Law. It’s my pleasure to entertain you,” Zayden said in an extremely
humbling manner. His heart was about to crack from anger and humiliation.
However, he did not have a choice. He could only endure this because, at this stage, he could not
offend Mr. Law.
The auction was about to start, and the fruit of victory was just in front of him, so he must endure this.
Zayden swore in his heart. After he won, he would return all of the grievances he had suffered during
this period back to Jasper by 100-fold!
…
“You mean the Hanks might have already contacted the businessman from Harbor City?”
Dawson looked heatedly at Jasper, and his expression was solemn.
Jasper nodded and said, “The attitude of the businessman from Harbor City could directly affect the
attitude of the government. Since he’s planning to invest, then the coherent facilities would follow after
the land he invests in. Coincidentally, he would run into the matter of the province’s expansion.
“Plus, the Hanks have already stated their determination to take down the land and the land
development rights on so many occasions. On one hand, it’s to make people back out of it, and on the
other hand, I’m afraid the only other reason is to stir the pot so that other people would not be able to
tell the truth.”
After hearing what Jasper said, Dawson asked, “What’s your plan then?”
“We’ll give it to them,” Jasper smiled and said.
“Give it to them?” Dawson raised his eyebrow slightly.
“It would not be wise to go head-on with the Hanks during the auction. This will greatly increase our
cost as well.”
Jasper spoke frankly with assurance. He was very confident.
“The rights to develop as a whole is valuable because the investment project for the businessman from
Harbor City is at the south bank of the Southface River. Plus, the businessman from Harbor City is the
one with the final say. So, if he changes his mind, then the Hanks will suffer a great loss.”
Dawson understood what Jasper was saying. He took two steps forward and said, “Are you confident
that you can influence the businessman?”
Everyone knew the key element to this was still the attitude of the businessman.
Jasper recalled the economic trend in Harbor City in his previous life. Then, he smiled and said, “If the
businessman is willing to work with us, he’ll be able to get an even bigger profit, so why wouldn’t he?”
…
Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
Today, the city hall would become the temporary venue for the auction, and there was heavy traffic on
the streets.
Almost all of the influential families and millionaires in the province that people could name were here.
Everyone was working for a living in the same territory, so when they met each other, they would surely
exchange conventional greetings.
“Mr. Long, you’re so early.”
A middle-aged man clad in a suit smiled and said to another man who just got out of the car.
“Me? You’re in the pharmaceutical industry and you’re interested in real estate?” Mr. Long mocked.
“Heh, what’s the use of only being interested? There are so many people here but all of us already
know that we’re going to lose.”
“You’re right.” Mr. Long sighed with sorrow. “These two families had some bad blood before this. They
were competing with each other openly and behind the scenes as well. Last time, the Hanks suffered a
loss. This time, I wonder who will be the winning party?”
“They’ve been sulking for a while. So, it’s worth the price of this ticket since we can watch a great show
today,” the man laughed and said.
At the same time, Jasper and Wendy arrived at the parking lot.
At the age where everyone was still treating Mercedes-Benz and BMW as high-end luxury cars, the
appearance of a Bentley was very outstanding.
Everyone at the scene of the auction looked over, and they knew immediately the Schulers were here.
After Jasper got out of the car with Wendy, a few people who were close with Dawson all came up to
them to exchange conventional greetings.
Although Dawson was not here, Wendy was attending on his behalf.
Wendy’s performance for tonight was invulnerable.
She greeted all of them with utmost manners, and it was as if she was able to chat with everyone.
After exchanging conventional greetings, Jasper led Wendy to the venue of the auction.
“No wonder your father isn’t worried about letting you come,” Jasper said with a smile, “You’re doing a
good job.”
Wendy pressed her lips together and said, “You can’t escape these social niceties and interactions. I’ve
been getting used to them since a very long time ago.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the venue. They could see Zayden standing there from afar.
It was as if he was standing there just to wait for Jasper and Wendy. He ignored the people around him
who were greeting him. However, since his family was powerful, no one dared to quibble about this with
him.
When he saw the two of them, Zayden displayed a sinister look along with an evil grin on his face.
He placed his hands behind his back before strutting to the two of them.
“Hey, the man who depends on his woman is here.”
Zayden was acting strangely the moment he opened his mouth. After he said that, his eyes landed on
Wendy.
He looked greedy and malicious.
“Wendy, you rejected the road to heaven and chose to mingle with this piece of trash?”
Wendy looked at Zayden coldly and said, “Please go away.”
Zayden could feel his heart contorting when he saw Wendy wanting to put a good distance between
the two of them. He chuckled coldly and said, “I liked you so much back then but now you’ve become
blind and chose this piece of trash instead?”
Zayden pointed at Jasper and said to Wendy, “This piece of trash is just coveting your beauty and
family’s money. Can’t you see it?”
Wendy did not want to continue bickering with Zayden, so she said, “I told you to go away, please.
You’ll only disgust me by standing in front of me.”
“Disgust?” Zayden lifted his face and guffawed. “Alright, then I want to see how long you can stay
arrogant for. Didn’t you flaunt yourself as incorruptible? You feel disgusted looking at me, huh? Soon,
I’ll make you adulterous swines kneel in front of me!
“You will regret this. You will regret choosing the wrong man. I will let you know that I’m the most
excellent man and this piece of trash next to you will just be my dog!”
“Jasp, ignore him. Let’s go.” Wendy grabbed Jasper and walked past Zayden to go straight into the
auction venue.
When Jasper walked past Zayden, Zayden said with bitter resentment, “Just you wait.”
“I’ll wait.” Jasper smiled. “I’ll wait for your death.”
Zayden turned around with a flash of understanding. Then, he stared straight at Jasper’s back and
clenched his fists. His nails were sinking into his flesh.
Suddenly, Zayden cackled morbidly. “The more you feel pleased with yourself, the more down and out
you’ll be later. Come, let’s see who gets the last laugh.”
After Wendy and Jasper walked into the venue, Wendy said to Jasper, “Jasp, Zayden is so gross.”
Jasper led Wendy to their seats and said, “We don’t have to get angry over this kind of person. Our
rival has always been the Hanks since the beginning of time and not Zayden. He… doesn’t have that
qualification yet.”
