Life at the Top

“Haha, kiddo!”

Hugh was silent for a moment, then he laughed out loud. “Young man, it seems that you’re very arrogant!”

“Stock god or not, it’s just a title. I don’t care for it. But if someone wants to act all high and mighty because of a woman, then I can’t be bothered with it,” Jasper retorted again. The reason was simple—because Penelope was using Hugh to try and dominate him.

Others may be afraid of Hugh, but not Jasper.

The current Hugh Lewis had reached a turning point where his prosperity was bound to decline. Several of his investments would be in trouble in the second half of the year, and all of them would go bust, which would eventually lead to a break in the capital chain of Lantern Capital.

Moreover, in Jasper’s opinion, Hugh’s downfall would happen sooner or later. With such a personality, who else would die if not him?

“Young man, it’s useless to talk big. Since everyone is here and the market will open in half an hour, why don’t we make a bet? We’ll choose a stock each and see which has the bigger gain. We shall see if I’m getting old or if you’re simply too arrogant!”

Hugh looked at Jasper with a sneer, obviously angry.

“Mr. Lewis, this is…”

John stepped forward as mediator. To others, Jasper was still young and inexperienced, after all. How could he be an opponent for an old fox like Hugh Lewis?

John admired Jasper very much, and he was also a big customer of his. Whether for official or private reasons, he could not watch Jasper suffer such a big loss.

“John, shut up if you don’t want any trouble!” Hugh barked, making John back away with an ugly expression.

“Do you dare to?” Hugh looked at Jasper with scorching eyes.

“Of course.”

Not only did he agree to the bet, but he also added to the stakes. “But I plan to add something more. You don’t mind,
