Victory in Life
Chapter 15
As soon as the statement was made, everyone was shocked. The people who mocked him earlier could no longer laugh.
The place was filled with gasping sounds.
An item purchased for 500,000 could sell for 35 million?!
35 million!
At this moment, even the rich boss was envious.
The people who didn't believe him the most were Penelope and Richton.
Their faces were filled with envy.
No one knew better than them because they had witnessed Jasper buying the ruby pendant for 500,000. Back then, they laughed at Jasper because his money had been cheated.
Now, it turns out that the ruby pendant actually cost 35 million?!
Penelope's heart is bleeding. They both felt that the jewelry should belong to them and 35 million were theirs too!
"Jasper Laine, why didn't you tell me that this ruby is precious?" Penelope pointed at Jasper and shouted.
"Are you crazy or is there something wrong with your brain?" Jasper said coldly, "Why should I tell you how much it's worth?"
“Now you have a lot of money. You should give me at least half of it! Penelope said angrily.
"Stupid!" After saying that word, Jasper did not care about him anymore.
Penelope felt as if countless poisonous insects were gnawing at her heart. That's 35 million. He must have his share. She used to be Jasper's girlfriend and they were almost married!
Hugh narrowed his eyes at Jasper and said grimly, "You're a lucky boy."
Hugh doesn't care about 500,000, but 35 million.
No one will question Landon's professionalism. If he said that much of the price, then it must be true.
“Is the bet still valid?” jasper said casually.
While sneering, Hugh said, “Because you are challenging, why should I refuse? Find someone to bring two laptops!”
After speaking, Hugh immediately pulled out a checkbook. After writing the check, he tore it up, put it on the table, and sneered, "Now, check 35 million."
Jasper did not hesitate to put the ruby pendant next to the check and said lightly, "Let's get started."
Hugh felt Jasper was thrusting his money at him, but why did Jasper not feel the same way?
It just so happened that the crude oil market had yet to begin, and Jasper's twelve million capital was still too little.
With an additional 35 million rounds of ammunition, he could instantly complete his base capital accumulation and begin the next step of his business plan.
By betting stocks, Jasper, who carries memories of his past after being reborn, can kill Hugh within seconds with his eyes closed.
Soon, someone came along carrying two laptops and turned on the software. At this time, five minutes passed before the stock market opened.
Everyone gather together. This is a bet of seventy million. Even though they were all rich, they were still stunned by the numbers.
A bet of seventy million. Ordinary people did not dare to think about it for a lifetime.
"Jasper, be careful."
John walked over to Jasper's side and said anxiously, “Hugh amassed his fortune from the stock market. His forward review was experienced and cruel. He rarely makes mistakes.
“Why don't we just forget it? It's no big deal to lose a little prestige. You still have a chance. Darling fell here.”
Jasper knew John was being considerate. After all, no one felt optimistic about his chances, including John. However, Jasper would not back down. He said, “Don't worry. I'm confident."
Seeing Jasper's stern demeanor, John sighed and said nothing more.
At this point, Wendy was also approaching.
Seeing his doubt, Jasper smiled and said, "Do you also want to persuade me to give up and say that there is no point in taking risks for my prestige?"
Wendy smiled at him, a smile that looked like a hundred flowers were blooming. He whispered, "No, I'm sure you'll win."
Jasper chuckled lightly and said, "Thank you for your trust."
Penelope, who was standing not far beside Hugh, stared bitterly at Jasper. He said while sneering, “Shameless couple. You will cry soon.”
As Penelope said so, Wendy supported Jasper.
With the atmosphere so lively, Wendy realizes Jasper has been the target of everyone's attacks and taunts.
The instigator is this Penelope Hunt.
"Are you Penelope Hunt?"
Wendy looked at Penelope expressionlessly.
Under such circumstances, not everyone dared to stand up and speak.
As the daughter of the richest man in the province, Wendy's intensity was undoubtedly powerful!
After all, regarding identity and background, no one who was there was on equal footing with him.
With his powerful aura and perfect face, everyone did not dare to look down on this girl who had suddenly appeared.
Perhaps her aura as the daughter of the richest man was too intimidating, or perhaps Wendy was too pretty, so Penelope felt a little scared when facing Wendy.
However, he now had Hugh behind him. He gathered the courage to fight.
"Why then would it be me?"
“I don't know why you hate Jasper so much, but I want to remind you as a fellow woman that you can't turn into a senseless and evil woman!
“And don't disturb others with the support of others! It will only make others look at you lower and lower.”
Seeing Penelope paled with those two sentences, Wendy became more confident. This was the first time he had stepped forward because he disagreed with the actions of others.
He did not understand what kind of grudge was between Penelope and Jasper, but he could see Penelope's cunning personality.
“If a woman has no boundaries, what difference does it make if you can win a man's heart? It was just a temporary act of charity from someone else!”
Wendy's words were like knives in Penelope's heart.
Although the atmosphere became silent, most of the men present cheered for Wendy from the bottom of their hearts.
In this era, most of the people standing here were the first generation of the rich who started from scratch. They understand the difficulty and start from the bottom.
Wendy's words were simple and straightforward, but her words explained the simplest truth.
For example, are women like Penelope Hunt really that valuable?
No man, including Hugh Lewis, would pay any attention to him.
Frankly, he was only annoying because he had the support.
"You!"
Penelope gritted her teeth furiously. He pointed at Wendy and shouted, “Who did you say this to me? Are you worthy?
“Didn't you just have a pretty face? I wonder how many men you've slept with? All the women go up to the men's beds, then what difference do you make from me?”
