Life at the Top

In the car, Wendy could not stop looking at Jasper while driving.
“Is there something on my face?”
Jasper asked her while touching his face. Looking at his reflection in the rear-view mirror, he was no different from other men
apart from the fact that he looked a bit more handsome.
There was a dazed expression on Wendy’s face. She registered his question not long after. “I’m just curious. You always treat
the people around you with kindness and courtesy. However, you also act pretty cold to other people. Instead of asking Mr.
Jones to send them away, you let them remain standing over there. That’s a lot harsher than sending them away.” She chuckled.
“I didn’t think too much into it. To me, they’re simply meaningless passersby in my life. If it wasn’t for the fact that they spoke to
you in a derogatory manner, I wouldn’t have even bothered with them.”
Jasper said matter-of-factly. As a person who had lived two lifetimes, how could he not understand the importance of remaining
humble?
“As for John, I think he’s a pretty nice person. Besides, he has way more connections than I do locally. There will come a time
where we’ll need each other’s help. It’s always better to have one more friend than one more enemy in the business sector.”
“Take today’s incident for example. His appearance saved me from undergoing a lot of trouble. It would be impossible for me to
just find someone and show them the balance in my bank account to tell them I’m rich, right?
“Although the feeling of doing so feels pretty great, I can only do it once or twice. Doing it often will make me seem retarded.”
Wendy kept smiling. She seemed to have thought of something. “By the way, are you free tomorrow?” she asked.
“Are we going to meet your father? Sure.”
With a playful smile on his face, Jasper agreed at once.
Wendy was startled. She stared at Jasper in shock while wondering if Jasper knew how to read minds. It seemed like he could
always tell what was on her mind.
That was right. After accompanying Jasper and watching him earn a monumental amount of 3.1 billion dollars by trading crude
oil futures, Wendy was determined to recommend him to her father.

Her family’s company was currently in a dire situation. Wendy desperately wanted Jasper to help her family resolve this problem.
However, Wendy intended to tell Jasper about her true identity before that.
“There’s something else I must tell you,” Wendy said in a careful tone.
Jasper pretended to listen to her attentively.
“Actually, my father is Dawson Schuler,” Wendy said. After blurting it out, she stared at Jasper unmovingly. She was previously
worried that Jasper would feel pressured after she revealed her identity. However, her worries eventually dissipated since Jasper
was now wealthier than her father.
Nonetheless, Wendy was still worried that Jasper would blame her for concealing her identity from him.
“I guessed correctly.”
Jasper smiled. There was not an ounce of distaste on his face. He continued to speak, “The way you dress and act sets you
apart from those who come from an ordinary family background. Furthermore, we’re both from the same town. The only wealthy
man with the last name Schuler from our town is the head of Schuler Group.”
“You don’t blame me?” Wendy asked anxiously.
“What should I blame you for?”
“After all, I hid my identity from you,” she said.
“That’s nothing much. It’s not a big deal at all. You’ve always kept a low profile and never wanted to attract unnecessary attention
or cause unnecessary incidents because of your identity. If this was in the past, I’d feel extremely pressured. After all, your father
is the wealthiest man in the province and you’re his only daughter.” Jasper chuckled softly.
Wendy let go of some of her tension after listening to Jasper’s words. She laughed lightly. “Are you pressured right now?”
“I don’t put someone else’s finances into consideration when I’m making friends now. Anyway, they can’t be richer than me now.”
After telling her a well-known joke from the future years, Jasper once again felt that it was truly great to be rich! Everything was
way too good to be true!

“Besides, your father is the wealthiest man in the province and I’m one of the top ten wealthiest billionaires in the country. He
won’t take me as someone who’s going after you just because you’re his daughter, right?”
