Ch. 1101..1110

Life at the Top Chapter 1101

Alban glanced at Jasper coldly when he put the call on loudspeaker. His gaze was filled with mockery.

Alban was not the only one. Excluding Jasper and Henry, it seemed like everyone else was siding against Jasper and waiting to see him be made a fool of.

It seemed as if this was a definite outcome.

Everyone held their breaths as they waited for the person on the other end of the call to speak.

A second later, a man ’s voice echoed from the speakers. However, instead of the excitement and glee people imagined, the man’s voice was filled with fright and disbelief.

“Mr. Ball, we handed the report in, but it didn’t go as we planned!”

Alban’s heart skipped a beat, but before he could say anything, the man on call continued.

“The city government said that the World Financial Center’s entire design and construction process had strictly followed the proper procedures and was approved by both professional teams in Waterhoof City’s and the National Design Institue in Swallow Capital. He said that there was no way anything could go wrong with such a huge project…”

Alban’s heart began to beat erratically and he raged.

“No way! If nothing else but for prudence sake, a report from such an authoritative architectural and design office such as ours should still have caused construction to be temporarily halted and fully investigated even if its initial process had been supervised!”

“That’s what I said too, but the city government, they said… they said…”

While the person talking was not physically present, everyone could tell from his tone that he was terrified. Alban was enraged when his subordinate started to stutter at such a crucial time. “What’re you stammering on about? Get straight to the point! What did the city government say?

“The city government thanks you for your enthusiasm, Mr. Ball, and they will communicate with JW Real Estates to bring together a group of experts to review the building’s design and construction plan. However, the construction will continue during this review process.”

When he heard this, Alban was close to spitting blood out in infuriation-especially when he heard him say ‘thanks you for your enthusiasm.’

He had been in the business world for more than forty years and he had partaken in commercial battles of all sizes. Alban, who had always come out victorious before this, now felt lightheaded.

He panted heavily and glared at Jasper. He did not know where went wrong for the entire situation to play out so differently.

Alban was not the only one. Everyone else was dumbfounded.

“How can this be? This makes no sense no matter how I think about it! ” Said the man who was certain that Jasper’s construction site would be put to stop with a stunned expression.

“Just what huge benefit did Jasper give the city government? To the point that they’re willing to continue construction even in such a situation?”

“Watch your words! Don’t simply say things like that. Jasper must’ve somehow lied to the city government!”

“Exactly! That’s the only explanation!”

“After all, it’ll be a huge mess if something was wrong with this building. This is also a report from a worldwide renowned architectural office! But instead of stopping construction, the city government even thanked Mr. Ball for his enthusiasm! This… it’s so infuriating!”

“What do you do now, Mr. Ball?” The man asked on the other end of the line, his tone sorrowful, exasperated, and indignant.

“Nothing! What else?”

Alban hung up the phone with a roar, feeling completely embarrassed now.

Henry could barely keep his glee under control and he told Alban, “You know, I think Waterhoof City City Government should really award you with an Enthusiastic Citizen award, old man.”

Life at the Top Chapter 1102

“All that effort monkeying and jumping around, yet they don’t even spare you the time of day. Hahaha. Absolutely hilarious.”

Alban’s face twitched and he looked at Henry. He understood what was happening as he looked at Jasper coldly, “The Law family?! ”

Jasper spoke calmly, “I wonder if you’re still interested in my MP5 patented technology, Mr. Ball.”

Alban clenched his jaw. He was infuriated and had the urge to rip Jasper to shreds.

“You think you’re so powerful, Jasper? So what if you had the Law family’s help to get through this, huh? I dare you to hide behind the Law family forever!”

Jasper chuckled, “Here’s what I don’t understand, Mr. Ball. If there are enemies in business, what’s wrong with having friends? Even the Allied Powers in WW2 aimed to combine their strength. If you can team up with Gale to set me up, then what’s wrong with me asking someone else for help?”

Alban chuckled icily and said, “Fine, then, you little brat. You win this time, but we’ve got plenty of time. I’d like to see if you’re still so lucky next time.”

“I don’t think you understand, Mr. Ball.” Jasper walked over to Alban lazily and leaned forward into his personal space.

Alban was currently expressionless and his face was ice cold.

“I, Jasper Laine, have never been someone who doesn’t fight back after getting hit. Perhaps you should think about how to defend yourself against my revenge, Mr. Ball.”

Alban’s expression twitched and he chuckled furiously a t the taunt. “You think you’re capable just because the Law family’s saved you once? Are you even capable enough to take revenge on me?”

“I’m sure you’ll find the answer to that very soon, Mr. Ball.”

Jasper said calmly. He glanced at the report in Alban’s hand and smiled subtly, “Something’s got to be wrong for this office to suddenly come up with a nonsensical so-called evaluative report. Let’s start from there, then.”

With that, Jasper gave Grant a call.

“Oh, Laine! My old friend. It must be nighttime over at Somerland, is something the matter?” Grant’s joyful tone sounded over the phone.

Having earned 100 million US Dollars from Jasper, Grant’s influence in his team had also increased exponentially.

Grant’s fame would also be known all over the world once the World Financial Center was built in the future, so he treated Jasper with the utmost respectful.

“I come with a business proposal. Are you interested in Harbor City’s architectural and design market?” Jasper asked calmly.

“Very much so! But this industry of ours is very territorial. If I’m right, Harbor City falls under GenAll Office’s territory and they’re a group of very sinister people. They’re willing to do anything for the sake of money, so I can’t be the first to break the rules,” Grant replied.

“That’s fine. From what I know, the biggest type of scandal in this architectural and design industry of yours is slandering others’ designs for money, right?”

“Waterhoof City Coty Government has just received a report from GenAll Office claiming that there’s a huge fault in the Vorld Financial Center’s design which might cause the main building to collapse. Here, I just gave you a reason.” Jasper said calmly.

Grant was stunned, then he fumed, “Is that how arrogant the people at GenAll are getting now? They’re just ranked seven in the world! I want evidence, Laine!”

“I’ll email evidence to you as quick as I can, and I’ll have people at Harbor City cooperate with you as well,” Jasper said calmly as he watched Alban’s extremely sour expression.

“Haha, Laine. I’ll send you a great gift if this is a success!”

Jasper raised the corner of his lips after he hung up the phone and asked Alban, “Do you know how I made my first sum of cash?”

Alban remained sinisterly silent.

Jasper replied slowly, as if he had asked a rhetoric question, “The stock market.”

Life at the Top Chapter 1103

“Are you threatening me-the Seatreasures Group, Jasper?!” Alban scoffed and said.

“You’re absolutely ignorant! The Seatreasures Group had just been listed on Harbor Stocks two years ago and its share price was twice its issuance price by the end of the first day. It’s always been the most powerful comprehensive, mainland, publicly-listed group on Harbor Stocks.

“You think you’re powerful enough to affect Seatreasures?! ”

Jasper’s words from earlier had more or less seized control of the situation.

Since no one had imagined him to be able to avoid the trap Alban had carefully laid out for him so easily. However, when Jasper revealed that he intended to target Seatreasures Group, everyone began to look at Jasper in slight disappointment.

“He is too young, after all. The Seatreasures Group is more than he can handle. ”

“Exactly. Seatreasures Group had more than 40 billion in turnover last year and it’s one of the most profitable privately-owned mainland enterprises on Harbor Stocks. Jasper must be crazy if he thinks he can attack Seatreasures Group.”

“Haha, didn’t he say he first made his money through the stock market? Of course, he’d take revenge through the stock market as well. Unfortunately, all his effort will be futile.”

Jasper did not seem to hear any of the comments around him.

Henry was irked, though, and he glared at the people who gave out the harshest comments. Henry said icily, “Are you busybodies done blabbering? Everyone here has a mouth, but do you see them going on and on noisily?”

“Keep yapping and I will smack that month off your face!”

Those people felt furious from this humiliation after they got brutally scolded, but the previous cases deterred them from acting out no matter how angry they were.

Hence, all of them consoled themselves by repeating internally that they were a dignified person in the upper-class society and that they did not need to be calculative with insolent living- incarnations of devils.

Meanwhile, Alban continued staring at Jasper.

“Did you hear them, Jasper? What they said was only because of Seatreasures Group’s full strength. You wouldn’t dare attack Seatreasures Group!”

“Haha. You can try, but if you end up screwing yourself over, then don’t blame a senior like me for not warning you beforehand.”

In all honesty, the Seatreasures Group was very strong at the time.

Their market value might not be the highest, but their roots were thick and expansive.

As a comprehensive group that dealt with physical businesses, the Seatreasures Group was extremely capable business-wise, while their progress in other relevant industries was nothing to scoff at either. Shares of such a business were what investors called blue-chip stocks, and were worth holding on to.

Since the company had a substantial performance history, the share price of such a company would not usually drop. Even if it did, any oscillations would follow the larger market trend, and it would not lose enough money to require them to pull out of the market. It was extremely difficult destroying a company like that.

Yet, Jasper was confident that he could do it.

This was thanks to his unique advantage of having memories of his past life.

Jasper could clearly remember that in the year 2001, the country government finally had enough of all the shady business that went on in the pharmaceutical industry. These pharmaceutical sales representatives would hide amongst the hospital’s medical staff, causing medicinebought in hospitals to be at least twice as expensive as the same medication in normal pharmacies outside. Some doctors without professional ethics would even prescribe patients with high commission rebate medication, completely disregarding their treatment effect.

Thus, a policy had been issued, hitting the medical system in the country like a windstorm. This windstorm eventually swept away 80% of the country’s pharmaceutical enterprises.

Seatreasures Group had started their business through pharmaceuticals, and up until now, this industry remained their main source of income.

Life at the Top Chapter 1104

The pharmaceutical sector of the class A shares had plummeted by 50% back then!

While Seatreasures Group was badly hit on Harbor Stocks, business took a turn for the worse for them afterward as they stayed rather dormant even up until Jasper’s reincarnation.

Now that the timing was right and Jasper had happened to be in this bad situation, he was determined to use this chance to get rid of Seatreasures Group.

“If you’re so confident, Mr. Ball, then I guess we’ll just have to see the full extent of my abilities,” Jasper said coldly.

Alban snorted and raised his hand to poke Jasper. “Don’t think that you’re above the law just because you’ve got someone supporting you, young man.”

“How about we make a bet? If you manage to make my Seatreasuers drop by 20%, on your own and without the Law family’s support, then you win.”

“As a wager, I’ll give you something you can hold over Gale’s head if you win. How’s that sound?”

Jasper raised his brows and said calmly, “How curt of you to sell your teammate out even in public, Mr. Ball.”

“Teammate my foot.”

Alban scoffed. “I’m from the Teo Chamber of Commerce while Gale’s from Haddock’s. We’ve always been enemies on opposing ends. We only worked together for a common goal.

“To get rid of you, for example. He benefits, while my life becomes easier. That’s it. More to the point, it’s not like I think you’ll be able to get your hands on this intel either.

“However, the same rule goes for you. If you lose, you’ll transfer the technical research of the MP5 to me for free!”

Now, Alban finally showed his greed.

He had never given up on his desire for the MP5 patented technology.

“Deal.” Jasper nodded calmly.

“I’ll be waiting,” Alban sneered.

Jasper did not respond. He gave Henry a look and the two turned to leave.

Everyone in the room was looking at Alban now.

The man was exceptionally prideful.

As far as he was concerned, there was no way Jasper would be able to lower Seatreasures Group’s share price by 20%.

Even if he could, it would be with the Law family’s help.

Alban had no idea how much the Law family valued Jasper. However, them stepping in to prevent the delay in construction was already a very dangerous warning sign.

Hence, Alban planned to provoke Jasper as the man could not seek the Law family for help. As far as Alban was concerned, if he did this, then Jasper was dead meat and the man’s future would be wrapped around his pinky.

“Haha, Jasper. There’s no escaping this now!” Alban muttered to himself.

At the same time, Jasper and Henry arrived downstairs.

“Are you really just going to…” Henry was about to say something when he turned to see that Jasper was calling someone. Thus, he quickly closed his mouth.

The call connected in no time.

Jasper greeted the person on the other end of the call with a smile, “Old Master Hurlbutt, I hope I didn’t disturb your rest by calling so late at night.”

Henry’s eyes widened when he heard Jasper. This old Hurlbutt person had just set Jasper up, yet here he was greeting him with a smile and respect.

If Henry was in his shoes, going over to this old man’s house and punching his dentures out was already the kindest act Henry could do.

Life at the Top Chapter 1105

Far away in the study of a huge manor in Suesville, Gale was brooding silently with a telephone handset in his hands. The man had lost all trace of drowsiness since he received the call from Harbor City.

“No, no, not at all. The older people get, the less they sleep. I already had a nap in the evening so I am not sleepy at all now.”

Gale replied with a crescent eyed-smile.

“You should really take good care of your health, Old Master Hurlbutt. Who knows how many people are relying on you to make a living. Not to mention that old seniors of the business are truly valuable treasures to us youths. You must take good care to ensure that nothing goes wrong with your health.”

Jasper’s calm tone sounded over the landline.

Gale furrowed his snow-white brows but his tone was still joyful and relieved when he said, “You’re still the most understanding person out there. Unlike other people who only know to anger me every day. Wouldn’t it have been great if I met you earlier?”

Jasper replied with a smile, “You’re too kind, Old Master Hurlbutt. I can’t even defend myself with the little business I have now. Had I met you earlier, Old Master Hurlbutt, I’m sure I would’ve been devoured whole and alive.”

Gale calmly commented, “Are you angry at me, sly child?”

“I had just gotten out of the forum conference and it’s only right I report to you regardless of how good or bad the outcome is. It would be a lie if I told you that I wasn’t angry. I’m still young after all, so I’m not as well-rounded and generous when it comes to many things.”

Gale suddenly chuckled.

“Haha, well then, sly child. You said that you’re here to report, so how did it go?”

Jasper replied calmly, “To you, Old Master Hurlbutt, it’s bad of course. But to me personally, it’s neither. Still, I’ve got to thank you, Old Master Hurlbutt “You’ve taught me a very valuable lesson, one that I will remember so that I don’t make the same mistakes again.”

Gale’s tone was calm and relaxed. “It’s great that you think that way. Nothing’s completely smooth-sailing in society, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing to make mistakes and lose a few times while you’re still young.”

“You’re right, Old Master Hurlbutt. I’m still young and I can afford to make mistakes. But I don’t think it’s the same for you, Old Master Hurlbutt,” Jasper said calmly.

Gale replied with a subtle smile, “So you’re planning to do something against me, then?”

“Not exactly. And even if I did have something in mind, it wouldn’t make sense for me to tell you in advance so you could prepare yourself, right?”

“Not to mention that the situation within the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is rather complex. No matter how insolent I am, I doubt I’d be arrogant enough to think that I can fight against the whole of Haddock Chamber of Commerce alone right now.”

Gale replied grimly when he heard Jasper’s claim, “So you’ll still remember what happened tonight even after you’ve grown up? Do you not think that I’ll pluck out a potential weed like you from my garden before you manage to overgrow?”

“You keep calling me a sly child, Old Master Hurlbutt, but if you allow me a moment of disrespect, you’re also a sly old man to me. Since we’re both sly, then there’s no need to keep pretending like our intentions are sincere.”

“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you I’d leave the matter be, would you? Nor would I believe you if you told me that you wouldn’t be wary of me.”

“Since neither of us believes the other, then there’s no need for lies and fake pleasantries either.”

“I called tonight for a very simple reason. Firstly, to report that the forum conference has come to an end with an outcome that is unfavorable to you but impartial to me.”

“Secondly to inform you that Alban and I have made a bet. He claimed that he has a weakness of yours I can exploit, which I am very interested in.”

Gale did not react for a long time after Jasper was done. While the latter could not see Gale’s expression from where he was, Jasper could almost guess that the old man was rather pissed now.

“It’s as he said. The Haddock and Teo Chambers of Commerce are opposing parties, and each side hopes for the downfall of the other.”

Life at the Top Chapter 1106

“You used him while he simultaneously used you, and both of you teamed up to get rid of me. Now that I’ve joined this game as well, I suppose the three of us will just be plotting against each other. Perhaps we’ll find out where our real friends and enemies lie.”

Gale was silent until he heard Jasper’s words and replied solemnly, “How about we work together?”

Jasper chuckled and said, “You really are a sly old man, Old Master Hurlbutt. It’s a shame that I’ve already paid my price and I not the kind of person to fall for the same mistake twice.”

“And you’re not afraid that I’ll work together with Alban again?” Gale asked meaningfully.

“I am, that’s why I called in advance. Be it you or anyone else behind you, Old Master Hurlbutt, I suggest you get rid of me right off the bat with the first attack. Don’t give me a chance to turn the tables and take revenge.”

“Unfortunately for you people, I’m no longer the same small wooden raft that capsizes at the slightest wave and has to be careful not to offend anyone anymore.”

Jasper hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.

Gale’s expression darkened when he heard the static on the other end of the line.

His fury this time might surpass his rage when Old Master Law had first warned him.

He genuinely felt deeply threatened by Jasper’s seemingly calm tone.

Unlike other people, Gale had long known Jasper, and the two had even partnered on many occasions before. Gale knew how dangerous Jasper could be.

Once Jasper had deemed you an enemy, he was a man of his word. Jasper always made sure to completely crush his rivals and left no room for people to reappear and cause him trouble in the future.

At this moment, Gale felt slightly remorseful.

He should not have offended Jasper over such a small issue.

“A small wooden raft, huh. I really regret not capsizing you back then. You… really have grown from that small wooden raft,” Gale murmured to himself.

…

“Overpowering.”

Henry immediately gave Jasper a thumbs up after he heard the man speak on the phone and watched him hang up. His expression was one of approval.

“There we go. We’re powerful figures, okay? There’s no need to be careful not to offend people no matter what we do. Look at you, you still get targeted no matter how cautious you are, no? So f*ck who the other person is, we’ll screw them over if we don’t like them! That’s how we live life to the fullest!”

Henry took the chance to preach his values to Jasper. Jasper stretched and said, “This incident really pissed me off. Instead of being angry at Gale backstabbing me, I’d say I’m more disappointed in myself for being too careless.”

“My path’s been too smooth thus far and I lost myself in my victories. Gale happened to teach me a lesson this time by showing me that none of the wealthy families that’s been in the country for so many generations are easy to deal with.”

“What about Alban? What do you have in store for him?” Henry asked.

“I already threatened him, so I’ll start on Seatreasures Group’s shares tomorrow! ”

“This incident blew up quite a bit and a lot of people have their eyes on me. I have to fight back and I have to hit hard, or everyone will think that my JW’s an easy target and come have their shot at attacking me.”

“I don’t have the time and patience to deal with them one by one, so what I can do is hit back so hard I deter everyone else!”

 

Life at the Top Chapter 1107

“Is it profitable?” Henry’s eyes sparkled as he asked.

Since Sena was listed on Nasdaq and Henry had earned a large sum of money with Jasper. This young master seemed to have gotten addicted to the idea of earning money.

He was now extremely intrigued by any situation that would potentially earn him money.

He had been nagging Jasper lately and asking him when he would fulfill his promise of bringing him along to earn another large sum.

However, it was not yet the right time for that, so Jasper did not disclose anything more to him.

After all, that was going to be a huge incident that would involve the entire world, and even change the way the world would continue to develop. Hence, Jasper was definitely not going to tell anyone about the incident until it truly happened.

“It is, but not by much. Still better than nothing, I guess. I’ll give you an account once it starts being profitable so you can transfer your funds to it. It’ll more or less pay off your airplane fuel costs.”

“I heard that your plane’s been docked at the airport ever since you bought it, right?”

Henry replied resentfully after he heard Jasper’s question, “I wish I could fly it too but it’s too fcking expensive. Every flight costs at least a few hundred thousand Harbor Dollars and I even want to sell that fcking thing now. It’s really not something I can afford to keep.”

“That’s why I told you to start your own business. I’m pretty sure your dad would give you money if you had your own start-up company. Then, I’ll help you plan it out. I can’t promise anything for the first year or so, but it shouldn’t be any problem to earn ten million or so. Furthermore, it’s a more long-term solution,” Jasper persuaded.

Henry yawned and replied lazily, “Another time, maybe. Let me play around and be free for another two years, I’m don’t have that kind of mindset now to think about entrepreneurship. You know how my temper is-no one can deal with me. Nor do I like that kind of angry aura businessmen have.”

With the end of the day came the circulation of what happened during the forum conference.

Of course, all normal civilians saw was what the newspapers reported, that some asset forum conference was held where entrepreneurs discussed the future development of some industries. The exciting debate over the dot-com industry’s future was also reported, ending harmoniously between hosts and guests.

This was obviously meant to deceive the common folk, and anyone even slightly more knowledgeable knew that something big had happened at the forum conference.

Jasper and Alban’s conflict as well as their subsequent bet had also become a public secret.

Countless eyes were focused on Alban’s Seatreasures Group and Jasper’s JW. They knew that a thrilling fight was about to occur between these two companies in Harbor Stocks over these next three days.

However, most people believed that Jasper had no chance of winning this fight.

Seatreasures Group was a physical and comprehensive group with a long-standing history in the mainlands. Its roots ran deep, and its main company was in the pharmaceutical industry that was difficult to enter and thus had few competitors.

It was almost impossible for outsiders to enter this greatly desirable industry since the costs for research and technical barriers were too high.

Not to mention that Seatreasures Group was a long-standing privately-owned pharmaceutical enterprise in the country, which made it very, very wealthy comp any.

Otherwise, it would not have had the strength to expand into other fields and industries.

Jasper, on the other hand…

Many people believed that he was just an ambitious but overzealous young wealthy businessman.

While he was much more impressive than ordinary folks, no one believed he would win against Alban.

Amidst the swirl of rumors, the sun rose as per usual. Jasper had been talking to Jake ever since he woke up.

“Do it like we used to before. Open a position at the bottom first. Don’t buy too much, and don’t act rashly. We don’t want to make any large movements.”

Jake hesitated when he heard Jasper’s instruction. “But Mr. Laine, it’s different this time. There’s just too many people who have their eyes on us!

“Seatreasures Group themselves will surely watch their own shares. There’s a limit to how many shares we can absorb if we don’t make a big move.”

Jasper smiled. “That’s exactly what I’m going for. I can only transfer you 1.2 billion this time, and most of this is from the profit we made in Harbor Stocks before. I don’t have any more for you.”

Life at the Top Chapter 1108

“There’s no way this small amount of money can change anything in Seatreasures International’s market. It has a market cap of 17 billion-there’s just no way.”

“I just need to show the signal. Trust me and do as I say.”

While Jake was confused, he had long gotten used to playing the role of an executioner ever since be starting working with Jasper. Hence, he understood that he should not press for more details when Jasper refused to elaborate.

All he had to do now was agree.

“Alright, Mr. Laine. I understand.”

Jasper hung up the phone and bid Henry goodbye, the latter lying on the sofa in his room lazily and eating an apple.

“Where’re you going?” Henry asked.

“Hoofmorn University. I won’t have time to visit and look out for her for a long while after this.”

“She’s got very high self-esteem and she’s too ashamed to take the initiative and ask for help. I’ll go take a look at how she’s doing in school and see if there’s anything she lacks,” Jasper explained.

Henry got up and followed Jasper out of the hotel. He asked loudly, then sighed.

“Jesus Christ. Do you know how many people are out there waiting to watch you fight Seatreasures Group? This is a fight involving a company easily worth billions of Harbor Dollars and here you are, free enough to go check up on girls. Wow, good job.”

Jasper laughed out loud. “There’s nothing I can do now anyway. But it should start soon. Very soon, Seatreasures Group will be facing a huge problem themselves.”

Henry looked at Jasper suspiciously and asked, “Why do you sometimes give me the feeling that you’re a shaman? How do you always predict things correctly?”

…

As Jasper sped over to Hoofmorn University, within the third female dorm building there.

Crash.

A washing basin fell onto the floor, causing the clothes and water inside to spill out everywhere.

Tiffany stood by the side with reddened eyes and pursed lips, letting the water splash and wet her pant legs.

“Tiffany York! Don’t think that just because our instructor told us to take care of you that it means that you’re on top of the world! Who do you think you are? You’re just a little thief! How dare you steal our make-up product? Shameless!”

A freckled girl pointed at Tiffany and scolded.

“I didn’t.”

Tiffany quickly shook her head and explained, “I didn’t even touch your makeup, let alone steal and use them.”

Another girl sneered and said, “What, so you’re telling us we’re framing you, then? Mia’s bottle of Estee Lauder Essence costs more than 500 bucks. As if poor people like you have seen something like that before! You must’ve wanted to use it, huh? I’ve seen more than enough people like you!”

“That’s right You’re just a poor village girl, yet all your clothes in your luggage are branded! I can already tell that you’re not an honest person! You must’ve stolen them, or you’ve got a sugar daddy outside providing for you.”

“Yeah! Shameless b*tch! ”

The freckled girl, Mia, and the other overweight girl attacked Tiffany together. In the corner of the dorm stood another average-looking girl, who piped up softly, “Perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding.”

Mia turned her head to glare at that girl and sneered. “This has nothing to do with you, Erin. Are you sure you want to get involved?”

Erin immediately kept quiet, not daring to say another word. All she could do now was look at Tiffany sympathetically.

Mia and Monica, who shared a dorm with them, were known for being ferocious. No other female student on this floor dared to anger them. They decided to pick on Tiffany since they were envious of her branded clothes, and this was just the start.

 

Life at the Top Chapter 1109

“You, you’re lying!”

Tiffany, who had never argued with anyone since she was a child, was no match for these two sharp-tongued and ruthless girls.

After taking an extremely cruel and humiliating scolding, Tiffany could only try to defend hers elf with reddened cheeks and eyes.

“My, my brother bought them for me. I didn’t steal, nor did I find anyone to provide for me.”

Mia sneered at Tiffany’s claim.

“Stop giving excuses. Your brother bought them for you? Is he your biological brother?”

Another girl covered her mouth and laughed. “I think it’s her lover. Maybe they like to act like siblings?”

Mia pretended to vomit and said, “Disgusting!”

“I’m telling you, Tiffany. This is campus.”

“While I don’t know how you managed to join a month after school starts, but don’t bring the tricks you use outside in here. We don’t like people like you.”

Tiffany’s cheeks flushed and she said with teary eyes, “Why do you keep picking on me?!”

“Picking on you?” Mia sneered. “It’s not our fault you’re so high-profile. You’ve only been here for a few days and you’ve already received a lot of love letters, haven’t you?”

“I heard boys from the building next to us sent you gifts. Something about you being the most beautiful girl in the major, hmm? Absolutely disgusting and shameless! B*tch! ”

Another girl spoke sinisterly, “Mia, your boyfriend’s uncle is the deputy chief of the Academic Affairs office, right?”

“Have Cassian go tell his uncle that questionable and indecent girls should never be students of our Hoofmorn University. They’ll only lower the class of our school if word got out that they’re a student.”

Mia replied arrogantly, “Yeah, I’ll go talk to him later. I’ll have him check carefully if you ’ve fooled around in school but with how flirty you look, I’m pretty sure you’ve fooled around with quite a few boys, huh?”

“You’re going too far!” Tiffany covered her mouth and she could no longer hold back the tears in her eyes. She turned and ran out of the dorm.

Mia and the other girl had expressions of disdain on her face, “What a great actress. So disgusting.”

“It’s fine, forget about her. It’d like to see how much longer she can take this, we’ll force her to drop out sooner or later,” The girl said before she gave Mia a pleasing smile. “Your boyfriend’s waiting for you downstairs to eat, right? Let’s go.”

Mia replied pridefully, “Him? He’s just a rich target I caught. But from the look on your face you like his friend from the basketball team, don’t you?”

“He looks pretty rich to me.”

“Horny b*tch, I can already tell what you’re thinking. I told my boyfriend already to bring his friend over to eat tonight. I’ve even thought of the place, a five-star hotel. We’ll land a huge hit on their wallets today.”

The duo chuckled and left as they spoke. The dorm was immediately quieted, leaving Erin alone inside.

She sighed and got up to rearrange the flipped-over basin and clothes. Her ability to read the situation was why she managed to stay in this dorm room.

Or she would have long changed dorms and dropped out like the other students under the duo’s torments.

Under the female dorm room stood Henry, staring down at the dorm auntie.

“Seriously, Auntie, just look at how handsome I am. There’s no way I’m some pervert that’s going in to take advantage of girls. I’m really just looking for someone,” Henry said irritably.

“I don’t care. Everyone in the dorm is a girl and it’s not right for a man like you to walk inside. Not even if you’re looking for someone. Call her to come down if you need her for something.”

The dorm auntie refused to back down as she rejected Henry.

 

 

Life at the Top Chapter 1110

Similar sentences had flown back and forth between the two.

Henry was filled with displeasure, but he was not enough of a prick to bully the dorm auntie who was just doing her job with his status. So he turned to Jasper.

“Can’t we have that secretary bring us up again? He was the one who led the way last time.”

“Let’s not bother him over a private matter. I’ll just call Tiff to come down,” Jasper said, waving him off.

Just then, a few male students had also walked over and stood by the side of the dorm building with practiced ease. They were evidently waiting for their girlfriend and the like, and they looked at Jasper with curiosity.

Jasper was about to call Tiffany’s phone when a series of footsteps sounded from inside the dorm building. Then Jasper saw Tiffany rush over.

She was going too fast and her hair was a mess, so she certainly did not see Jasper in front of her.

The man was in her path and about to say something when Tiffany knocked straight into him.

“Ah!”

Tiffany shouted in shock. She looked up to see Jasper and her welling tears immediately began to fell. She called out for Jasper with a sob and hugged the man, crying into his arms.

Jasper did not know what had happened but instead of asking now, he patted her back and consoled, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m here, don’t cry anymore. I’ll keep you safe, don’t worry.”

Henry had also walked over with a skip in his steps. He was immediately filled with glee when he saw that Tiffany had been mistreated. “Hey, what’s wrong, Tiff? Did someone bully you? Tell your big brother Henry, I’ll make sure to I beat them up.”

Tiffany sobbed but clenched her lips and shook her head no matter what Jasper and Henry asked. She did not want to trouble the two.

Just as Henry felt out of his depth, Mia and another student walked out of the dorm building.

They were met with the sight of Tiffany wiping her tears in Jasper’s chest.

“Yo, and here I wondered why she acted so pitiful. Who’d have thought that she had someone waiting for her? She must’ve been acting for him, then? What did I tell you? A btch will always be a btch, she’s just got to bury her head in a man’s chest even when she’s crying. So shameless!”

Mia sneered.

“Mia!”

Just then, two tall and broad men walked over. They were the two that looked Jasper and Henry over just now.

“Cassian, Stan, take a look. That’s the btch I was talking about. She’s obviously a poor village btch that came from the mountain valleys yet her luggage is filled with branded clothing. Who’s she showing off for, huh? She even stole my bottle of essence. Absolutely shameless!”

Mia told the two men.

“That’s right. I saw it with my own eyes how this shameless sl*t already hooked up with a lot of men even though she’s only been here for a few days,” The girl beside Mia fanned the flames and added.

Cassian and Stan’s gazes immediately turned ambiguous when they looked at Jasper and Tiffany.

“There are all sorts of trash in society but I can’t believe these people are actually on our campus. Looks like I’ve got to tell my uncle,” Cassian said calmly with an arrogant look on his face.

Jasper’s expression darkened when he heard the other students speak.

If these things could happen even before his eyes, then he could only imagine how difficult Tiffany’s days had been on campus as of late.

Yet this silly girl did not tell him anything.

“What the fck, are Hoofmorn University’s students so uneducated? All their vocabulary’s just made up of slts and trash?”

When it came to such a mocking statement, one did not need to look to know that Henry was the owner of those words.
