Life at the Top

Chapter 63

“All of you are being way too kind,” Jasper said with a smile. He knew the good intention behind John’s actions.

John Jackson and the rest of them were all quick-witted and intelligent people.

They could easily tell what was going on at just a glance.

They could tell that the atmosphere in the room was not quite right.

The other people in the room were not on the level to drink with them whereas the atmosphere was slightly off. With that, John and the others clinked their glasses with Jasper and left the room.

Jasper had no interest in staying there either. He followed John and the others to the Orchid Chamber upstairs.

On the other hand, Wendy did not leave as she instantly got surrounded by a bunch of their classmates.

“Wendy, those people were all here to look for Jasper Laine?”

“They seemed to treat him very courteously.”

“What kind of person is Jasper now? How can he have a meal with those renowned people?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Annoyed by all the questions, Wendy spoke out directly, “Weren’t you all sucking up to Ivan Larson just now? Why do you guys care about Jasper? Does a poor jerk like him deserve your attention?”

It was common knowledge that women tended to hold grudges. Thus, it was impossible for Wendy to forget how they mistreated Jasper just now.

All of them had awkward expressions on their faces. A few of them were embarrassed.

“Wendy, we’re all classmates. Don’t be like that,” Quinny said while pulling at the hem of Wendy’s shirt.

Wendy’s impression of Quinny was rather good. Furthermore, she did not do or say anything against Jasper from the very beginning.

Letting out a sigh, Wendy waved a document folder at Ivan, whose face was ash pale. “Do you know what’s inside this folder?” she asked.

Wendy then pulled out the freshly obtained business license from the folder.

More than a dozen of them raised their gaze and looked over.

JW Capital Co., Ltd.

Legal representative: Jasper Laine.

Natural person shareholder: Jasper Laine (Fully-owned holding).

Registered capital: 1000000000 dollars.

Sharp intakes of breath instantly resonated in the room when all they caught sight of the keywords in those three lines of text.

The number of zeros behind the number 1 on the business license dazzled their eyes. If it were not for dollar sign behind the number, they would hardly be able to tell what number it was.

Forget a billion dollars, many people could not even catch a glimpse of such a business license throughout their entire lives.

Everyone grew wide-eyed with disbelief. Ivan could not even utter a single word. It was as if he had been struck dumb.

At this moment, Wendy felt that it was all meaningless.

She could finally understand why Jasper was not interested in this reunion event since the very start.

They were really not on the same level. How could they get along?

Jasper was not arrogant like Ivan was. He did not care about what these people thought of him. This was because… he did not have to care about his achievements anymore.

So what if they thought highly of him? So what if they looked down on him?

When these people were still discussing about daily necessities, Jasper already had a net worth of up to a billion dollars.

They lived in different worlds. There was no way for them to get along.

“Wait!” Ivan shouted out as he stopped Wendy from leaving.
