Life at the Top

Nobody wanted to trigger Hugh’s fury when he had just lost everything. Everyone remained silent.

“I’ve been dominating the stock market for so many years. When I made my fortune, that kid was still playing in the dirt. If he thinks that he can defeat me through this alone, he should continue dreaming!” Hugh yelled. He then turned around and left the venue.

A slight frown formed on John’s face. He was worried about Jasper. Alas, Hugh was not wrong. He was an extremely powerful force in the stock market. Since he had made such a big loss, he would not just let it be.

However, Jasper did not know about all this. He brought Wendy, who was still shocked from the previous surprising events, out of Royce Villa.

“How did you know for sure that the stocks for Horizon Shares would rise?” Wendy could not resist asking him.

Jasper had not revealed any signs of hesitation and fear since the very beginning. He seemed to be confident in how the results would turn out. If Wendy did not know that it was impossible to predict the trend of stocks, she would have thought that Jasper had estimated everything perfectly.

“I believe in my instincts,” Jasper said with a smile on his face, “Nobody can tell if stocks will rise for sure. I often just go with my instincts.”

Wendy was rendered speechless. This reason was unbelievable, but it seemed to be the best explanation for everything that happened.

“Weren’t you afraid that you’d lose such a large bet?” Wendy asked.
