The auction commenced not long after. Jasper and Wendy had already returned to the banquet hall.
A big boss like Zachary Law no doubt had a custom seat for himself. Meanwhile, the younger ones like
Jasper and Anna gathered in the hall while waiting for the auction to begin.
This occasion was a gathering of the stars. Everyone shone in all of their extravagance.
Even the air was filled with the lingering scent of wealth and fame.
Being as meticulous as always, Jasper also noticed that Mitch Langdon and Zane Lancaster were
seated together. The two of them were peering at him as subtly as they could.
It was evident that having a common enemy allowed them to achieve a certain degree of
understanding with each other.
“How did the both of them get together?” Anna asked, furrowing her brow.
Based on logical reasoning, Zane only had his father, Bob Lancaster. Nonetheless, Mitch was different.
His father was Kennedy Langdon, whereas his grandfather was Wallace Langdon. They were both top
bosses in their own leagues.
With Wallace Langdon around, the Langdons would easily take the throne among the top four families
of Harbor City.
Therefore, based on such reasoning, Zane had no right to sit next to Mitch.
“Both of them are equally bad. It should be easy for them to find a common topic among themselves,”
Jasper said. He did not mind at all.
Since he attended the function with Anna, Jasper sat in a seat designated for the Laws. It was located
right at the front of the hall.
The first four rows were reserved for the Laws, the Boyles, the Langdons, and the Lennons.
The remaining seats were allocated for the other prominent and wealthy families of Harbor City. The
seats extended backward in order of wealth and status.
There were close to a hundred tables.
This showcased the number of wealthy people in Harbor City.
Over here, those with assets worth a billion dollars or less were considered poor.
Meeting Henry once again, Jasper realized that there was a beautiful female celebrity seated next to
him.
Furthermore, Jasper knew her well. Thanks to Mr. Collins, Jasper had enjoyed viewing a fair few of her
gorgeous photographs.
Cindy Jung.
Stage name, Sherry.
She would be debuting in a group with another female celebrity this year after signing a contract with
Golden Entertainment. She would become really popular in the future.
However, after the incident with the camera, she was utterly ruined.
Jasper had even lamented over it in his past life.
“Here’s my date. Not bad, huh?” Henry remarked proudly.
He did not really like famous female celebrities. If he wanted any of them, they would be queueing up in
front of him in no time. However, he generally found them dirty.
Therefore, Henry preferred fresh faces that have only just made their debut. He found them pleasant
and fresh-looking.
Cindy was rather nervous as well. She greeted Anna and Jasper respectfully.
If Henry had not brought her here, never in her life would she have the right to sit in this seat.
Anna was unfazed. Something like this was extremely normal in a wealthy family.
However, Jasper knew that Cindy had a pretty messy private life despite her innocent looks. He
grinned and said, “It’s good as long as you think it’s good.”
Henry always felt that Jasper was trying to hint at something with his curious choice of words.
Nevertheless, he could not seem to figure out what Jasper meant. Therefore, he felt extremely
uncomfortable about this.
Jasper had just sat down when Zane’s sinister voice rang out from the table beside them. “Oh, look
over here. It’s a country bumpkin from the Mainland. Do you think that you’re our equal now that you’ve
found a wealthy person to back you up? The fact that you’re pretty pleased about it all is terribly
disgusting.”
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone from the four top families, who were seated not
too far away, to hear clearly.
