Life at the Top

After everyone from different industries arrived, the auction officially started.

A group of people walked in from the side door with the leader of the city hall leading them. Then, they sat in the seats that were intentionally separated from the rest.

The leaders from different industries who came to the auction started interacting with each other. They understood that those people who had just walked in were the influential businesspeople from Harbor City.

The leader of the group was a man who looked like he was in his 60s. He was wearing a suit and looked lean. However, when he talked, he was oozing with the air of a successful man and looked like he was full of charisma.

Next to him were a young man and a young woman. The man was chewing gum while looking slovenly.

The woman was very beautiful and looked so charming it was as if she had been blessed by heaven. The moment she appeared, she attracted the attention of a lot of people.

The woman was looking around in the venue as if she was looking for someone.

Immediately, her eyes landed on Jasper. She smiled softly, greeting him from afar.

Jasper smiled back at her as a response.

“Do you know each other?”

Wendy was particularly sensitive about this.

“Not really. I only met her once,” Jasper replied honestly.

“She’s pretty, right?” Wendy asked with a grin.

“So-so. I don’t feel anything looking at her. Anyone would just be a pretty shell compared to you.”

When Wendy got this answer that filled her with the will to live, she finally displayed a genuine smile. She was pleased with Jasper’s tactfulness.

Zayden looked into the eyes of the slovenly man from a distance. When he saw the other party gesturing an ‘ok’ to him, he let out a huge sigh of relief before turning around to look for Jasper.

When he saw Jasper and Wendy bantering flirtatiously with each other, his eyes darkened and he turned his head around with a scoff.

The emcee got on stage during the commotion and patted the microphone. After everyone was silent, he said, “Welcome everyone. I will be hosting the auction today.

“Plus, the returning millionaire investor from Harbor City, Mr. Zachary Law, his eldest son, Henry Law, and daughter, Anna Law, will be watching from one side.”

After knowing the identity of the businesspeople from Harbor City, an uproar started among the millionaires from the province.
