Life at The Top novel Chapter 373

Lisa, however, was unwilling to concede. She had never suffered such mistreatment before, so she stood right in front of the two and blocked their paths.

“What do you want?” Wendy was slightly annoyed and she frowned as she spoke. Her tone was no longer as polite as it was when she had tried to keep their relationship neutral before. Rather, it was fierce now.

“Look, Miss Wendy, we’re all classmates here, so I’m telling you that the man beside you isn’t worth your time! I’m only telling you this for your sake because I can’t bear to witness it anymore.” Lisa huffed arrogantly.

“Not everyone can enroll in MBA, and those who do are all formidable in either their academics or familial background. But look at that nobody next to you? All he has is talk–you’re just degrading yourself by being with him.”

“Don’t say that, Lisa. We have to respect Wendy’s decisions.” Ben laughed as he spoke, his expression polite.

“Perhaps Wendy hasn’t met many people before this, and her limited social experience is why she’s an easy target for others to trick. She’ll know that there are more outstanding people outside after broadening her experience, and she’ll soon know better than to be with some ignorant idiot.”

Lisa replied calmly, “It’d be too late then.

“My cousin’s liked you for a long time, Wendy, so how about you give each other a chance? Date each other for a while and I’m sure you’ll realize that he’s very outstanding. At the least, you’ll realize he’s much better than a nobody that’s all talk.”

Lisa sounded sincere, as if she truly believed that she was doing the right thing and was trying to save Wendy from disaster.

Yet, this only fueled Wendy’s displeasure and anger.

Right then, Jasper patted the back of Wendy’s hand to calm her down.

“Why am I the nobody that’s all talk?” Jasper asked.

As a man, there was no way Jasper would stand still as someone degraded him to this extent.

“We turn a blind eye and let you lie as you please, but you’re dead wrong if you think this makes you worthy to contribute to our conversation. If this is how you’re going to act, then I may as well make myself clear then. A nobody that’s all talk–that’s exactly what you are. Or are you telling me that I got it wrong?”

“It’s no Maserati, but a Bentley has an on-the-road price of 5 million. A little more expensive than yours. What a shame that I didn’t have it when I was young, but it’s mine now.”

Then Jasper shrugged and glanced at Ben and Lisa, who were both shocked and mortified. He reached out to wrap an arm around Wendy and smiled, his expression gentle and calm.

Ben stared enviously at the arm Jasper had wrapped around Wendy’s small waist and clenched his fists. He had never felt so humiliated before in his life.

“Benny, is that… real?” Lisa asked embarrassedly.

“No way! Look at that nobody, even his clothes are cheap pieces you could buy from the streets. None of what he wears is over 200 bucks, yet you tell me he drives a Bentley? We saw them get out of an ordinary Buick at the gates!”

Lisa brightened at the memory, thinking that she had been played. She huffed angrily. “Exactly! Even if it was a Bentley, that’d still be Wendy’s Bentley!”
