Chapter 18
As depicted on the software program, Horizon Shares had stopped falling and began rising on an upward trend just like a dragon soaring up into the horizons!
The stock for Horizon Shares rose up rapidly and reached the limit straight away!
Only a few minutes had passed since it fell to its limit!
Hugh’s eye twitched repeatedly as he stared at the upward trend line cutting through the entire screen. He could not believe it.
This was not as simple as a stock rising up vehemently against all expectations. Within a few minutes’ time, Hugh had lost 50 million dollars in cash!
50 million dollars in cash was enough for one to buy multiple real estate in a time like this!
“Oh my God… It has really… risen to the limit! Hundreds of thousands of stocks have been directly sealed…”
Someone shouted out loud in shock.
“How can this be… I’ve never seen such a trend in my entire life. It happened without any indications beforehand. How can this be possible?!”
Everyone’s hearts lurched upon catching sight of the uptrend. After making sure that they were not seeing things, they looked at Jasper the way they would look at God—in admiration.
“He’s the God of Stocks, he’s really the God of Stocks!” John exclaimed in admiration.
He thought that Jasper’s impassiveness was a result of him being way too shocked.
However, Jasper still had a calm expression on his face. John understood now. He had been confident since the very start.
What… kind of man was he?
Jasper leisurely picked up the ruby pendant and check under everyone’s stares. He now had 50 million dollars!
He waved at Hugh.
“The winner gets it all. Thank you for your gifts, Mr. Lewis!”
After speaking, Jasper pulled Wendy, who was still standing at the same spot, and proceeded to leave the room.
“Stand right there!”
Hugh roared out in anger. He gritted his teeth upon noticing that Jasper had not stopped walking. Nevertheless, he could not bring himself to say anything.
There were so many people watching him here. If he went against his own words, he would be thoroughly screwed.
He was a powerful man. However, there were many people who would love to see him dead. A few of his arch-enemies were here right now. They would definitely not miss out on this opportunity.
However, Hugh could not lose to Jasper just like that!
Just as Hugh was racking his brain to think of something, Penelope grabbed his sleeve. “Mr. Lewis, what just happened? How did he win?” she asked anxiously.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
He slapped her in the face. Hugh glared at Penelope who had fallen to the floor. “It’s all your fault, you stupid b*tch! Scram at once! Otherwise, I’ll kill you!” he yelled.
A shocked expression appeared on Penelope’s face. However, she was afraid as well. She did not dare to talk back to him and simply accepted his insults.
How could Richton White not notice that Hugh was infuriated? He immediately pulled Penelope away and left the venue with her.
Everything had ended. The entire hall was silent. Nobody would have expected this round of gambling to end in such a way.
Before Jasper made his lethal strike, nobody expected that he would win. Hugh, who was smug the entire round, ended up being the final loser.
Everyone, John included, still had looks of shock and admiration toward Jasper in their gaze from the explosive moment just now.
He took away 50 million dollars just like that.
Nonetheless, he won with his own skills. Why could he not take the money?
Pondering upon this, John and the others started to take pleasure in Hugh’s current situation. Many of them had taken a distaste to Hugh’s bossiness and domineering stance. However, they had never dared to speak up against him. Now that he had lost 50 million dollars, his company’s future operations would become a big problem. He had fallen to his doom within such a short span of time.
“He has so much potential,” someone murmured in a low voice.
Before the others could rise up to express their agreement, Hugh pinned them with a gaze that was as fierce as that of a wounded lone wolf.
“You guys think that he won the bet?!” Hugh grinned maliciously.
