Chapter 169

“Hahaha.”

Michael Lane, who was seated at the table of big bosses, laughed out loud.

“Zachary, Jasp is pretty good!”

Michael openly expressed his admiration for Jasper.

The other bosses looked at Michael in distaste. Michael had always been on Zachary’s side. There was
no need for him to act all supportive of him right now.

However, even they could not deny the fact that Jasper had made a brilliant move.

Zachary had a bright smile on his face. “This kid has always been like that,” he said.

Although he was speaking in a casual tone, his choice of words reflected just how much he admired
and cherished Jasper.

Alas, the head of the Law family would not just address anyone as ‘this kid’.

This was how an elder addressed his or her junior.

Zachary and Michael were both in good spirits. In contrast, Bob Lancaster and Kennedy Langdon’s
expressions did not look too good.

They had not personally joined in the exchange, but anyone could tell that both their sons had been
defeated by Jasper.

Since their sons had been put to shame, what glory could they have?



The big bosses did not really care about 300 million Harbor Dollars. It was just that they had gained a
profound insight into Jasper’s way of doing things.

The auction continued amidst the audience’s chatter and laughter.

Zane and Mitch suppressed their discontentment over their defeat and sat back in their seats.

According to the rules, all the wealthy people present in the function had to purchase at least one item
from the auction. Otherwise, news about them being stingy and reluctant to do charity work may be
published in tomorrow’s tabloids.

Therefore, although Zane and Mitch were already in a state of distress from the previous incident, they
still called to bid when a blue and white porcelain bowl was presented before the audience at a starting
price of 200,000 Harbor Dollars.

“200,000 Harbor Dollars,” Mitch called for a starting bid.

Nobody competed with him either. After all, he was a member of the four top families. Besides,
everyone knew that he had just embarrassed himself badly and was currently in a bad mood. For their
own sake, no one wished to offend him.

“1,000,000 Harbor Dollars.”

Unexpectedly, Jasper, who had not called for a bid since buying Angel’s Heart, made a bid.

It was beyond their expectations, but his actions were perfectly understandable.

Henry almost burst out into laughter. He whispered loudly in Anna’s ear, “See, I told you that Jasper
would not let him off just like that. He’s definitely going to embarrass those two idiots thoroughly before
defeating them once and for all.”



Jasper’s bid caused Mitch’s expression to further darken.

He eyed Jasper, who was standing nearby, coldly. Meanwhile, Jasper seemed lighthearted and
relaxed. He picked up a strawberry from the table and ate it. He did not even spare Mitch a glance.

The more Jasper acted like this, the more hatred and resentment rose up within Mitch’s heart.

“3,000,000 Harbor Dollars!” Mitch said through gritted teeth.

He could not back off at a moment like this. Otherwise, he would not only embarrass himself, but he
would also bring shame upon the Langdons as well.

“8,000,000 Harbor Dollars,” Jasper called for another bid almost immediately after Mitch announced his
bid.

“Jasper Laine!” Mitch stood up and yelled out in rage. He fixed a stony glare on Jasper. “Do you really
want to have a falling out with me?” he asked in an icy voice.

Jasper picked up a strawberry and popped it into his mouth. He chewed for a while before swallowing.
He then picked another strawberry and passed it to Anna. “Taste this. It’s quite sweet,” he told her.

Mitch stood motionless. It was awkward for him to either remain standing or sit down. He felt like the
biggest joke in the world after being thoroughly ignored by Jasper. Everyone was laughing at him.

“Alright! You forced me to do this! Ten million Harbor Dollars!” Mitch shouted out in a frenzy of rage.

Looking at the seething expression on Mitch’s face, Jasper chuckled. “You’re a wealthy and generous
man, Mr. Langdon. Why are you being so stingy over some charity work? 50 million Harbor Dollars.”

“Hahaha!”



Mitch let out an angry bark of laughter. “Country bumpkin, are you comparing your wealth to mine? My
personal assets alone are worth several billion Harbor Dollars! Come on, I’m bidding 100 million Harbor
Dollars!” he hollered.

Jasper shrugged. “You’re really something else, Mr. Langdon. As expected, you must really be
committed to charity since you’re willing to buy a porcelain bowl at a gargantuan price of 100 million
Harbor Dollars. You have my admiration. I’ll happily announce my defeat and back out of the bid,” he
said calmly.

Mitch’s eyes widened after hearing what he said. His face turned red-hot with rage. “Stupid f*cker, were
you fooling me?!” he roared out angrily.

Everything had already gone wild when Mitch called for a bid of 100 million Harbor Dollars.

Although this porcelain bowl was an antique item, it was worth around 1,000,000 Harbor Dollars at
most. Its price had now spiked up to 100 million Harbor Dollars after Mitch got enraged over Jasper’s
taunts. An act like that could not be merely deemed irrational anymore.

Mitch Langdon was out of his mind.

At the same time, Kennedy Langdon, who was seated at the table of bosses upstairs, had a heavy
expression on his face.

He never would have expected his son to be so incapable.

It would have been better if his son had just called for a bid of ten million Harbor Dollars or even more
when the auction just began just like what Jasper did before this. Instead, he was slowly lured into
Jasper’s trap.

“This kid is way too immature.”
