Victory in Life
Chapter 03
Jasper doesn't care about them. He didn't care at all about what they said.
Now that he has the money, he can become a millionaire or a billionaire in the future. Would he still be afraid of some delinquent bothering him?
Until a week later, the Hunts did not come and make trouble with him. Jasper was calm too.
However, he also did not spend his time in futility. Based on his memories, he knew that something all-important was going to happen in this small town.
In his former life, he knew that a ruby pendant had appeared in a jewelry store called Glory Jewellers in the city.
The store boss promoted the ruby pendant as an antique, but it was worn by a British monarch in the past!
Therefore, the pendant was sold as the store's treasure. However, at 500,000 dollars, no one in town would buy it.
Despite his publicity tricks, no one believed him.
They must be kidding. An antique ruby pendant once worn by a king only sold for 500,000 dollars?
This is definitely a promotion plan.
However, no one thought that the locket was sold to a merchant who had a business abroad. The jewelry store boss even laughed at him for being tricked by a fake item.
Half a year later, the ruby pendant appeared at the country's largest auction event and was indicated as a genuine item!
The locket sold for a fantastic price of 40 million dollars. Rumor has it that the jeweler's boss was so angry at the news that he had to be rushed to the hospital.
Based on his memories, today was the day that the ruby pendant was scheduled to be sold!
At this time, Jasper would definitely not let anyone else have the opportunity to buy the pendant for 500,000 dollars and resell it for almost 80 times higher.
Early in the morning Jasper left home. He took a taxi to the Grand Plaza and headed straight for Glory Jewellers.
By the time he arrived at the shop, a group of visitors were already there.
“Thank you very much, Richton!”
Penelope happily stared at the ruby bracelet on her wrist. The bracelet cost 3,000 dollars. It is not a gift that anyone would buy for someone else.
The person called Richton was a middle-aged man. The man's head was large, both his ears were large, and his stomach was protruding. Wearing a suit, the man smiled cheerfully at Penelope. A glint of satisfaction and greed crossed his two eyes.
She has had a crush on Penelope!
It's just that he didn't have time to chase after the woman, but Penelope recently started to approach him willingly.
There's no way Richton White wouldn't welcome that woman's approach. After all, this was only him paying with a gift that cost him several thousand dollars. He can afford to pay that much.
“It was just a small gift. The important thing is that you are happy.”
Richton White laughed out loud. He turned his head and looked at Calvin and Susan, who were both looking at him with great admiration... “Calvin, Mrs Jones, each of you should choose a piece of jewelry that you like as well. It will be a welcome gift from me to you,” he said.
A dumbfounded look appeared on Calvin and Susan's faces. They both smiled widely and showered Richton with unrelenting praise.
Just at that moment, Jasper entered the store.
Seeing the appearance of the enemy tends to make one feel vengeful. “Hey, isn't that calculating and pathetic hick guy? Why are you here? All of the items here cost at least a few thousand dollars. You can't afford it,” He continued in a joking tone.
“Maybe he's here to apply for a security guard position,” Penelope said condescendingly with a cold smile on his face.
Susan grunting. He grabbed Penelope's wrist. “Ck ck, look at this bracelet. It costs 3,000 dollars. Someone with good taste and classy had bought it all of a sudden. People like you can only earn that much if you work for two months without eating or drinking, right?” She asked.
Richton White looked at Jasper with a meaningful gaze.
He knew Penelope had a boyfriend. Looks like this guy is the guy.
Richton smiled faintly. An indifferent expression appeared on his oily face. “It's okay. I'm not good at many things, but I can't stand to see my loved ones suffer injustice.”.
After hearing Richton's words, Penelope was touched. He's leaning on Richton. “Richton, you treat me very well, unlike someone who is poor and calculating. The man deserves to remain a trash for the rest of his life,” he said.
Jasper ignored their taunts.
He and these people had come from different worlds since he was reborn.
Walking straight towards the counter, Jasper asked the sales department, "Excuse me, can you take out that antique ruby pendant?"
Richton shook his head. A rash person like him was easily provoked. This man was forced to do something unreasonable after the people mocked him a little. “Hey, acting cool has its limits. What if they really took it out? Are you going to buy it or not?” He asked calmly.
Susan smirked dislike. “Maybe he wants to see her just to gain knowledge of this world. Unfortunately, a lowly hickhead like him had never seen any good stuff. After seeing her, she might even return to the village to brag about it,” he said.
Everyone laughed out loud after hearing what Susan said.
The salesman looked at Jasper with a questioning expression on his face. He didn't know this guy, but he knew Richton White. Richton always brought women here to buy them gifts. From what Richton said, this young man before him did not have much money.
The salesman was too lazy to serve him. “Master, the ruby pendant is expensive. If you do not buy it, please do not waste our time,” he said coldly.
“Who said I didn't buy it? Give it to the person who told you to get it out. Will your boss forgive you if this purchase is delayed because of you?” Jasper asked the salesman.
The salesman's expression changed instantly. He mumbled coldly. “Alright, I'll get it out. Let's see if you can afford it!”
The salesman then turned around to open the safe. He picked up the tray and placed it in front of Jasper. He sneered coldly, “Bos I brought this ruby pendant last night. It was once worn by an English king. It costs 500,000 dollars. No haggling available!”
“500.000 dollars?!”
Penelope and the others took a sharp breath. Even Richton's eyes started twitching.
Not everyone can spend 500,000 dollars at a time like this. These ruby pendants are nicely shaped and have an incredible luster, but do not seem to be much different from Penelope ruby bracelets in terms of color or appearance.
Richton shook his head. He could spend a few thousand dollars to have fun with a girl like Penelope Hunt, but things like this are beyond his reach.
But ... This was something that even he could not afford. What about this guy?
Richton laughed coldly. “Good stuff. It's a pity that danaku is still tied up with my previous investments. Otherwise, I'd buy one just for fun. I thought for someone like you, you could only see it, ‘kan?” He said with laziness.
"Composed!"
Penelope averted her greedy gaze from the ruby pendant. He looked at Jasper with disdain. "Now that you've seen it, can you get away?" She asked.
Richton took out his debit card and handed it to the salesman. He spoke cheerfully, “Give me the bill. Next time you need to look more closely. Don't let some pathetic bastard enter the store. People like me are real customers. What could he do? He even asked for an antique ruby pendant after entering the store. How embarrassing!”
Plaac.
A black VIP debit card was slammed on top of Richton's normal debit card. The card glittered in all its luxurious glory under the light.
"Swipe this card," said Jasper coldly.
The atmosphere of the jewelry store instantly became damp.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Calvin pointed at Jasper and laughed out loud. “Did this fool really go crazy? You want to buy something worth 500,000 dollars with a card like that? If that worthless card had 500,000 dollars in it, I would kneel before you and call you my father!" He giggles.
However, Richton could not drag himself to join in laughing out loud. His mouth became dry as he looked at that luxurious black debit card!
He knew that only people who had savings of up to ten million dollars could apply for this card.
At least ten million dollars!
Richton has never seen that much money in his entire life!
A person can lie, but there is no way this card is fake.
Richton looked at Jasper, both corners of his eyes twitching lightly.
Right now, the salesman took the card and swiped it on the machine.
Jasper inserted his password and a beep sounded from the machine. After that, the machine prints a long note...
Everyone could see that it was a sign of a successful transaction.
He really ... paid 500,000 dollars!
After taking a quick look at the balance of the man's debit card in front of him, the incredible amount of tens of millions of dollars left the salesman's heart shaken.
This was the first time he had seen so much money in his life.
Storing his card, Jasper turned to face Calvin who had a shocked expression on his face. “You can kneel before me, but there's no need to call me your father. That would disgust me.”
