Zayden opened his eyes slowly in the hospital room.
The person favonovel.com saw after favonovel.com opened his eyes was his father, Sylva.
Zayden felt a heavy weight on his chest as favonovel.com anxiously opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, “Dad, that Jasper kid… We’ve been…”
“I know,” Sylva said calmly.
“I won’t resign to this!” Zayden gripped the bedsheet and said through gritted teeth.
“You’ve lost everything,” Sylva said in an extremely disappointed voice.
“The family has decided to give up on this auction. We will surely lose the cash deposit. The city hall is furious because the auction was such a huge event and everybody’s attention had been on it. However, in the end, we decided to void our bid.
“The city hall is giving us a penalty of 200 million.”
“The family will never forgive me for this 200 million and the 50 million combined,” Zayden said in a trembling voice.
“You had walked into his trap since the beginning.”
Sylva sighed ruefully. “I didn’t think that young man named Jasper would be able to move Zachary Law. This is a huge variable and is the key for the Schulers to turn the tide.”
“I want to kill him!” Zayden gritted his teeth. He was so mad that his voice started to change.
“You should leave the province for now,” Sylva said flatly.
“Dad, you’re giving up on me too? Where can I go if I leave the province?” Zayden said hurriedly.
Sylva sighed and looked as if favonovel.com had aged a few years. He said, “From the looks of it now, the Hanks have completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. The continuous loss has struck down hard on my prestige. When one is rising, the other is falling. Your Uncle Zach’s right of speech is growing now.”
“You’ll go to Harbor City. I still have some resources, and I’ll plan for your future. The Laws have hoodwinked the public and they have a lot of rivals in Harbor City.”
Sylva looked deeply at Zayden and said, “You’ve had lessons coming at you one after another, so I hope you can grow from them. If not, there’s nothing else I can do anymore.”
After favonovel.com said that, Sylva left the room.
Zayden widened his eyes to stare at the white ceiling and growled in a voice that was laced with extreme rancor. “Jasper Laine! Just wait, just you wait!”

‘A Change of Attitude From the Businessman From Harbor City. Leaning Toward Working With JW Real Estates!’
‘The Hanks Voided Their Bid, Angering the City Hall and Causing A 50 Million Cash Deposit Deduction and a Penalty of 200 Million Dollars!’
The upper-class were all watching the drama as a series of huge news shocked the province.
There was so much news in one day and it was such a rare sight.
The twist and excitement of the story were not inferior to that of a blockbuster.
No one could expect that the initial winner would suddenly fall at the last hurdle. On the contrary, this meant JW Real Estates of the Schulers had become the key to turn the situation around.
At the same time, Jasper was sitting in Dawson’s office. He was on a call with the person in charge of the auction on his future father-in-law’s phone.
“Oh, Uncle Jasper, you’re hilarious. It’s an honor that you’re willing to transfer the land development rights and land to JW Real Estates.”
The name of the person in charge was also Jasper. He had the same name as Jasper and was also older than him, so in order to become closer to him, Jasper naturally addressed favonovel.com as Uncle Jasper.
“Price? Oh, Uncle Jasper, you should know that I was so furious I got confused during the auction, so that’s why I called out 1.2 billion. Actually, we’re just a small real estate company that just started. Where will we get that money?
“I genuinely don’t dare to play any tricks on you. I’m not pretending to be poor, but I really am poor…
“Alright, Uncle Jasper. We’ll just do whatever you say. You’re occupied with important matters every day, so you must be so exhausted. We can’t provide any help to you, so why would we cause more trouble for you regarding these minor matters?
“Yeah, it’s the price I called out the third time. 710 million. That price is still doable. We definitely can’t afford 1.2 billion.
“Alright, you should go back to your business now, Uncle Jasper. I’ll treat you to a meal next time.”
Dawson did not know whether to laugh or cry when favonovel.com watched Jasper wrangle with the person in charge of the auction.
However, this kid was indeed skillful. He lowered 1.2 billion to 710 million just by being cheeky.
Who else in this world could do this aside from him?
