If Jasper was so easily defeated, how could he have trusted him enough to take time off for his health at such a crucial time?
How could the Laws rest assured while placing such a large bet on him?
Countless discussions were still going on in the function hall.
A lot of people were shocked by Jasper’s strong financial power and boldness.
If he could take out 100 million Harbor Dollars in cash, no one would even bother to look at how much the Angel’s Heart was really worth. This 100 million Harbor Dollars would be enough to crush Zane Lancaster’s arrogant stance.
A dark expression formed on Zane’s face. Jasper had raised the bidding price to the maximum.
There was no way for him to continue following the bid.
He had been arrogant and smug up till a second ago. He suddenly snickered. “Alright, alright. You’re good. This jewelry piece is only worth a maximum of a few hundred thousand Harbor Dollars. This fool here actually bought it for 100 million Harbor Dollars. Don’t you know that others will just see you as a fool right now?
“It looks like you’re not just a dog. You’re a foolish, idiotic one.”
Forget the other people, even the Law siblings were shocked by the bidding price.
However, they knew that Jasper had earned a lot more than that from Zane and Mitch over these few days. Although they suspected that Jasper was just doing so to get back at Zane, they did not say much.
Beside him, Cindy Jung’s gaze shone in admiration as she stared at Jasper. He had just spent 100 million Harbor Dollars on a whim. A man like this simply oozed charm and charisma.
Nobody would follow a bid of 100 million Harbor Dollars.
After asking the price three more times in accordance with the rules, the host closed the bidding with a knock of the hammer before everyone’s gazes.
“Congratulations to Mr. Jasper Laine for successfully bidding for the Angel’s Heart at the monumental price of 100 million Harbor Dollars. I believe that Ms. Shannon White would also love to thank you from the heavens for your contribution to charity.”
This host was extremely witty. He knew that there was nothing the wealthy people here loved more than building a good reputation for themselves. Therefore, he showered Jasper in praise without a moment’s hesitation.
After that, a staff member held the Angel’s Heart on a tray and delivered it to Jasper.
After taking the Angel’s Heart, Jasper took out a cheque and put it on the tray.
When Mitch Langdon caught sight of the cheque, his expression instantly darkened.
F*ck, of course he found that cheque familiar. That was the cheque he paid to Jasper as compensation!
“What a foolish dog,” Mitch Langdon remarked, gritting his teeth.
“He spent 100 million Harbor Dollars on something that’s only worth a few hundred thousand at most. What is he if not a foolish dog?” Zane snickered beside him.
After getting his hands on the Angel’s Heart, Jasper did something that nobody would have expected.
He handed the Angel’s Heart to Anna Law, who was seated next to him.
“I haven’t thanked you for gifting me this set of clothes. Let me give this Angel’s Heart to you as a gift,” Jasper said.
Anna blinked in shock. She then accepted the jewelry piece instinctively.
Everyone was now paying attention to them. Nobody would have expected Jasper to give something that he had bought with 100 million Harbor Dollars to Anna Law.
“Press the angel’s palms.”
Anna was slightly baffled by Jasper’s words. Nevertheless, she followed his instructions all the same.
She believed that Jasper had his reasons for doing so.
Anna pressed lightly on the simple carving of the angel’s palms under the watchful eyes of Harbor City’s wealthiest men and women.
The outer shell of the angel pendant fell apart after what seemed like the activation of a contraption. A dazzling pink diamond appeared before everyone after being kept inside the pendant for more than a decade.
“What… what a massive pink diamond!”
The chairman of Chadstone Jewelry exclaimed out loud upon catching sight of the pink diamond.
“I’ve been working in the jewelry industry for my entire life, and yet I’ve never seen such a flawless pink diamond!”
His words, accompanied by the brilliant and dreamy iridescent glow that reflected off the pink diamond under the light, caught everyone’s attention like a massive boulder being flung at their faces.
