Life at the Top

Kennedy, of Harbor City’s Langdon family.

Kayden, of Harbor City’s Langdon family.

Bob Lancaster, one of Harbor City’s bigshots.

While Bob did not hold a candle to the four richest families in Harbor City, the man’s wealth and status were definitely that of an elite in venues where the four main families were not present.

No one had expected Jasper to be able to invite three of Harbor City’s richest families for his topping-out ceremony.

The reporters felt lightheaded and were moments away from going crazy. They were all too excited and could barely contain the urge to step forward and interview the newly-arrived guest, but the stern-looking bodyguards in black suits were very effective in deterring them.

Both Zane and Mitch were stunned when they saw their fathers.

They had not expected their fathers, who had remained impartial all this while, to suddenly rush over for this.

Even so, they dared not hesitate and quickly went to greet them.

“You’ve done well, Jasper.” Kayden smiled at him after observing the surroundings.

Jasper shook Kayden’s hands and smiled. “Quite a bit of hard work and ideas were pitched during the designing process back then, and we’ve taken inspiration from quite a few of Harbor City’s design concepts in order to have Southface River look the way it does today. I could bring you around for a tour later.”

Kayden nodded. “Sure, I’ve got to get a good look at it. If I could, I was hoping to buy a few businesses here, and wait for its value to rise.”

“You’re very welcome to do so.”

Jasper then turned to extend his hand toward Kennedy. “Thank you for coming, Mr. Kennedy.”

Kennedy chuckled and shook Jasper’s hand while replying, “Not bad, it looks much better than I imagined. It seems like we elders need to learn more from youths like you, or we’ll only get left behind and forgotten.”
