When Mitch saw Anna siding with Jasper, he felt the fire of anger and jealousy burning in his chest. His eyes were filled with rage!
“Anna, I know you’re pure-hearted, but don’t be fooled by him! Do you think he got close to the Laws with no ulterior motives?”
Anna gritted her teeth with anger. She wanted to tell them that Jasper was making a lot of money just from the short sale.
Due to the general trend, the market of Harbor Stocks would plummet. He could not fight the general trend, and Harbor Stocks would fall no matter if he did or not.
However, this was the secret between the Laws and Jasper, so Anna could not tell them everything.
She looked at Mitch and Zane before saying coldly, “Mitch, do you know what Jasper said to me just now? We’re talking about how we’re going to save the crisis of Harbor Stocks and not how to continue to suck the blood of the citizens of Harbor City dry! As someone from a rich family, don’t you ever think about the economy of Harbor City?”
“A market rescue?”
Mitch almost burst out laughing. “Jasper?”
Mitch pointed at Jasper’s nose and was struggling to breathe due to all the laughing. “This is the burst of the dot-com bubble. Do you know what it means by the bubble bursting?
“You just made some money in the stock market because you got f*cking lucky. Do you seriously think you’re able to predict and understand everything?
“Damn, this is a f*cking global financial crisis and you want to do a market rescue? You? A country bumpkin from Mainland? I’m going to die from laughter.
“Harbor Stocks are worth a few trillion dollars. They fell 10,000 points today and the Langdons can’t even save this. You can still be a poser back in Mainland with your coins. Aren’t you scared that I’ll laugh my head off from you boasting shamelessly in Harbor City?”
Jasper looked at Mitch sympathetically and said flatly, “Continue laughing then. Laugh more. I hope you can laugh for a few more days.”
Mitch deliberately laughed even louder. “I’m going to keep laughing and I’ll laugh at you every day. What can a country bumpkin like you do to me?
“A market rescue? F*ck your market rescue and f*ck you! You’re so pretentious that your head is in outer space. What do you even have? You’re just a country bumpkin from Mainland and you want to rescue Harbor Stocks? You might not be afraid to lose your image, but aren’t you afraid of embarrassing the Laws?
“Anna, are you willing to let the Laws lose their image because of this country bumpkin from Mainland? I think you should tell him to get lost as soon as he can!”
“You’re so senseless!” After Anna said that frigidly, she grabbed Jasper and said, “Jasper, let’s go. We have nothing to say to this lunatic.”
Jasper patted Anna’s hand and said to Mitch, “I’ll remember your laughing face. I hope you can still laugh as foolishly as you are now the next time we see each other.
“The one who gets the last laugh is the winner, no?”
After he said that, Jasper left slowly with Anna.
Mitch watched as Jasper and Anna’s figures walked farther and farther away. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and what was left was a distorted look filled with malevolence.
“Young Master Langdon, I want to kill that country bumpkin so badly!” Zane said through gritted teeth.
“I want to do it more than you!”
Mitch snorted and said loftily, “Just wait, the time will come when he’ll die. Let’s just allow him to feel pleased with himself for now.”
Zane pondered for a while and asked, “He said he made a few billion from the stock market and wants to rescue the market. Do you think he’s serious?”
Mitch gritted his teeth and chuckled coldly. He said, “I think he did make some money but I’m sure it’s not as much as a few billion. Just listen to him talk big! And he even wants to save the market? He must be dreaming!”
Mitch remembered the news his father had talked about on a call while he was standing in front of the door of his study. He felt his heart burning up.
He knew that his father was probably doing something major and it was related to the financial crisis.
However, Mitch would not tell anyone about this secret.
When he thought about this, he scoffed. ‘Jasper, even if you’re all that, but can you do better than the Langdons?’
“Tomorrow, let’s take out all of our savings for a short sale. We’ll use this once-in-a-lifetime chance to get rich overnight!”
Zane was shocked when he heard this. He said, “All of our savings? Isn’t this a little risky?”
“What are you scared of?”
Mitch glared at Zane. “Just do as I say. I have a source, and I got some information that the financial crisis this time won’t be so simple. It’s still early, and that country bumpkin wants to go against me. After I make enough money, I’ll kill him!”
Zane thought about it and said through gritted teeth, “Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll get the money tomorrow!”
