Victory in Life
Chapter 447
Everyone stared at Jasper, they seemed to be waiting to see how he would react.
Even Old Man Law did not speak as he also looked at her meaningfully.
Anna's eyes sparkled, and there were several times when she seemed to want to talk and help ease the pressure Jasper received from Old Man Turner, but the stern gaze from Zachary stopped her.
Only Jasper can answer Old Man Turner now.
If anyone else is talking, it means they're disrespecting Mr. Turner's parents.
The corner of Erik's lips turned into a mocking smile.
He had long since been annoyed to see Jasper being praised by everyone.
However, he now understood what it meant by 'the higher you climb, the higher you fall'.
Old Man Turner is still the best!
"You're right, Old Man Turner."
Jasper spoke as everyone stared, he was submissive from the first sentence.
The crowd could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Erik's disappointment comes from how Jasper decided to become a goose, if Jasper dared to go against Old Man Turner, he would have the chance to not only reprimand but also slap Jasper in front of everyone, that would be so much fun.
However, without waiting for anyone else to speak up, Jasper continued, "But as the great people who had come before me said, Jasper continued, it is permissible for a small percentage of people to obtain wealth first, since they are the ones who will lead the majority of the population to share prosperity in the future, it is also one of the guidelines for the development of our economic policy."
"Financial activities can stimulate economic markets, when companies receive investment, they will increase the scale of their production, will not it increase employment opportunities? the activity in the market gets faster when it receives funds, won't it improve the economy as a whole?"
"So, in my opinion, whatever method is used, it must be valid as long as it is both legal and logical."
The Imperial Ballroom, the InterContinental Hotel fell silent after the people present heard what Jasper said.
No one imagined Jasper daring to refute Old Man Turner before his eyes.
However, Erik could not bear it and shouted while standing up, "Jasper Laine! you should know your place, how dare you argue with my grandfather?!"
"You're saying I should know my place?"
Jasper immediately replied by saying, "I'm just a regular citizen, my parents are farmers, and I'm nothing more than a businessman, however, I have to say what I think is right!"
Erik sneered as he pointed at Jasper and said, "Hey, you're making things more complicated than they should be, aren't you? you were still a nobody when my grandfather went out to fight on the battlefield, what makes you think you can fight him?"
"I'm trying to clarify the matter because I respect Old Man Turner, in other words, if you were the one who said such things, I wouldn't even bother refuting you."
Erik's emotions almost exploded when he heard what Jasper had just said!
"Whatchu mean? are you looking down on me?!" Erik gritted his teeth as he asked.
"Yes." Yeah." Jasper nodded calmly as he admitted it casually.
It was simple and straightforward, and the effect was instantly felt.
Erik completely lost control of his anger as he glared at Jasper and said coldly, "Don't think you can be arrogant just because you gain temporary power, though, you're still a long way from a family like ours that's been around for decades!"
"That's the difference between you and me" Jasper said calmly, "You open your mouth and talk only about your family, but I represent myself wherever I go!"
Erik's eyes reddened as his anger increased tenfold.
Cracks...
"Erik!" Brad said in a low voice, Erik is once again a loser in this conflict, he can't let his son's big mouth keep humiliating him.
Otherwise, things will not end well for everyone.
Erik took a deep breath and laughed coldly as he said, "Let's see how long you can keep running wild."
