Life at The Top novel Chapter 159

Mitch stared at Jasper’s retreating figure. He felt blood pooling at the base of his throat, but he could neither swallow it nor spit it out.

He had just been gloating over the fact that Queenie was his date, and Anna Law suddenly appeared beside Jasper the very next second.

Queenie was pretty and famous enough.

To be honest, one could not be embarrassed bringing Queenie along to any event.

She was on par with his status as Mitch Langdon too.

However, one was always worried to be compared with.

A man’s success was measured by the woman beside him.

Queenie was fine, but could she and Anna be compared side by side?

They were miles apart.

Mitch felt his face burning, and that translated to him feeling annoyed as he stared at Queenie.

“Young Master Langdon… You…”

Spooked by the look in Mitch’s eyes, Queenie was just about to speak when she heard Mitch saying, “F*ck off!”

Queenie stared at Mitch, flabbergasted.

“I said, f*ck off!”

Mitch turned after speaking coldly to Queenie and strode off, leaving her stranded at the venue. Tears filled her eyes.

…

Jasper and Anna entered a smaller hall in the hotel.

The hall outside was for the younger generation to mingle and form connections while this smaller hall was where the real vanity fair was. It was where the actual bosses gathered.

The majority of the richest in Harbor City had arrived.

This was not a scene that everyone would have the opportunity to witness.

When Jasper entered, he saw Zachary approaching him with a smile on his face.

“Jasper, come over. I want to introduce you to a few of my old friends.”

Zachary grabbed hold of Jasper’s arm affectionately and laughed loudly as he led him forward.

He was doing this on purpose for the others to witness.

He wanted the others to know that he, Zachary Law, approved of this young man. They all needed to pay their respects to him.

Zachary could do that with the status and power he held.

Sure enough, everyone immediately looked at Jasper with a different glint in their eyes.

They had to have a certain amount of power to be let into this room. News traveled much faster among them here, and Jasper’s identity was already no longer a secret.

Bob, who was nearby, got Zoelle to talk to the other women. When he got rid of her, he turned toward the middle-aged man who looked somewhat similar to Mitch.

“Kennedy, what’s Jasper’s relationship with the Law family?”

Kennedy said calmly, “Big B, you should stop using all your attention on those movie stars and pay more attention to other matters.

“Zachary got to know Jasper in Mainland some time ago. I don’t know what exactly happened between them, but Zachary thinks very highly of him. Even Old Master Law can’t stop praising him.”

The expression on Bob’s face faltered when Old Master Law was mentioned. “So, this Jasper Laine is not going to be easy to deal with.”

Bob raged inwardly when he remembered how he had taken a fall in front of Jasper even though he was Jasper’s senior.
