Life at The Top

Upon hearing Jasper’s words, the disbelief on Calvin’s face instantly morphed into an expression of anger and jealousy.

He gritted his teeth as he stared at Jasper pointedly. “Where did you get all this money from? You said that you didn’t have money a few days ago, but now you have 500,000 dollars to buy a ruby pendant?!” he questioned.

“This is my money. I don’t have to tell you where I got it from. What I do with it is none of your business as well,” Jasper said.

“Hmph!”

Calvin sneered coldly, “You must’ve sold your house, right? Otherwise, where did you get all that money from?” he asked.

“He must have done so. Tsk tsk, what a sinner. How can you sell your house just to buy a ruby pendant? You’ve really gone mad,” Susan commented.

The sales assistant had already packaged the ruby pendant nicely for him. She did not talk to Jasper in an impatient tone anymore. “Sir, your ruby pendant has been wrapped up,” she said in a tone full of respect.

“Wait!”

Penelope shouted out loud.

“Jasper, give me that ruby pendant.

“I don’t care where you got the money from. We’ve been together for such a long time. My brother needs money now but you said you didn’t have money, so just give me this ruby pendant,” she said.

Susan’s eyes lit up with a glint. She nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Give us this ruby pendant and we’ll forgive you,” she said.

“You guys must have gone insane! Are you snatching it from me now?” Jasper asked in a harsh tone. After speaking, he turned away and left.

Penelope was anxious. She reached out to hold onto Jasper’s arm. “Jasper Laine, are you going to be that cruel?!” she shrieked.

“I’m being cruel?

“I may be cruel, but nothing compares to how disgustingly shameless your family is.” Jasper laughed.

After speaking, he flung Penelope aside and walked away with large strides.
