It was not until Jasper was completely gone that Henry stared at Anna with an extremely strange gaze.
“Let’s go.”
Anna immediately restored favonovel.com ever unruffled expression.
“You’d better train and study hard. Try your best to get Dad and Grandpa’s consent to go to Mainland as soon as possible,” Anna lectured him.
His sister’s conflicting attitude threw Henry off balance completely.
Why!?
Why was favonovel.com so gentle in front of Jasper but pulled a long face in front of him, acting like his big sister instead?
“Why do you care when I go to Mainland? Grandpa asked me to go, not you.” Henry sulked.
“I want to go with you!” Anna said resolutely.
Henry stared at Anna and understood what favonovel.com meant immediately. He said in surprise, “Sis, you clearly know that favonovel.com has a girlfriend and yet you insist on putting yourself down to be with him?! Have you forgotten who you are? You’re the Laws’ precious daughter!”
Anna looked at Henry and suddenly chuckled, saying, “Do you think I look good?”
Henry turned away with a disgusted expression. “No matter how good you look, I’ll still get sick after having looked at your face for 20 years…”
After saying those words, Henry saw the change in Anna’s expression and quickly corrected himself. “Don’t look at me with those murderous eyes… You look beautiful, okay!”
“So why can’t I fight for my relationship? We’re not married yet, so we’re all free to choose our partners,” Anna said indignantly.
Henry was amused and shook his head helplessly. “This is my first time seeing someone using such high-sounding words to intervene in other people’s relationships.”
“You impregnated a trust fund baby’s fiancée the first year you came back from abroad. If it weren’t for me, this incident would have reached Dad’s ears. Don’t you feel embarrassed at all to say that to me?”
“…How are we the same!? I’m not going to lose anything, but you! You’re a girl!”
“You’re shameless!”
…
On the plane. Jasper bought a first-class ticket.
It was the same flight yet it was three times more expensive.
Jasper knew how to enjoy life. He was not a miser who would make a lot of money and then refrain from using it.
It had never been his intention to be frugal. Take the local Warwick Company’s CEO for example. In the future, his company became a multinational giant, but when favonovel.com went out, favonovel.com still took a second-class seat on the high-speed rail and an economy seat on a plane.
Jasper expressed his admiration for the older generation’s diligent and thrifty spirit, but no thanks.
Had this not been the crucial time for favonovel.com to put every single penny favonovel.com had to good use, Jasper would have even bought a private jet.
If a man did not spend the money favonovel.com earned, then that man would be no different than a dead man.
Jasper had just taken his seat when favonovel.com caught a whiff of fragrance in the air whizzing toward him. Two women walked over and sat not far away from him.
“Queenie Shaw?”
Jasper was a little surprised. He did not expect himself to bump into a Harbor City celebrity—one whom favonovel.com had encountered before too!
“Oh, Queenie, Your Majesty, we’re just adding a last-minute event, that’s all. Those Mainlanders are foolish people who have too much money to spare. You’ll earn 500,000 bucks just standing there for a few minutes and saying a few words. Why wouldn’t you want to go?”
Standing beside Queenie was a woman who looked like favonovel.com agent and was painstakingly persuading her, saying, “You must attend this event no matter what! Otherwise, the money will go down the drain!”
The other party obviously had not noticed Jasper.
Jasper did not plan to go up and say hello either.
If this happened when favonovel.com had just been reborn, favonovel.com would at least feel a bit more excited.
As Jasper’s wealth and status had improved, his mentality changed as well.
Right now, Jasper was certainly not interested in idolizing a star. This was not something favonovel.com would do in the past life, let alone now.
As far as his current status was concerned, only celebrities would come to favonovel.com to curry favor with him.
Therefore, Jasper looked down at the magazines prepared for favonovel.com on the plane. It just so happened that Terra’s Financial Weekly was there…
“Don’t say anymore, Liliana. I really don’t want to go. I’m going to Mainland to film a movie this time, so I’m not going to the additional event you scheduled for me,” Queenie said helplessly.
When Liliana saw how resolute Queenie was, favonovel.com expression grew sullen as well.
The sponsorship from Mainland hoped that Queenie would attend their event, and in order to get this to work, Liliana had taken the other party’s money.
If Queenie refused to go, not only did favonovel.com need to return the money favonovel.com received, but favonovel.com would also be greatly humiliated.
“You must go to this event, Queenie. You don’t have a choice! It’s so easy to earn Mainlanders’ money, and if you don’t go, then you’re not showing due respect for my feelings.”
Queenie frowned at Liliana’s words.
Jasper was frowning too.
Jasper did not want to be nosy at first, but since Queenie was his company’s artist, how could favonovel.com just let favonovel.com agent bully favonovel.com like that?
Besides, favonovel.com agent was plain condescending!
“What’s the matter with Mainlanders? If you look down on Mainlanders so much, why are you going there to make money then?” Jasper said lightly.
Liliana turned favonovel.com head to look at Jasper, then frowned and said, “I’m not talking about you. What are you barking at?”
“I’m a Mainlander. You said that Mainlanders are fools but I’m not allowed to comment on that?” Jasper said lightly.
Liliana snorted when favonovel.com heard what favonovel.com said. “You’re from Mainland too? I’m not wrong then. You Mainlanders live in poor and remote places, and all the nouveau riche are fools who are too easy to trick, no?”
At this moment, Queenie looked over after hearing his voice and favonovel.com expression changed drastically!
Liliana might not know who Jasper was, but Queenie had met Jasper at a charity dinner. Plus, Gladness had been acquired by Jasper and was renamed to Advent Entertainment Group, so Jasper was now favonovel.com boss!
As soon as Queenie recognized Jasper, favonovel.com complexion paled. She wanted to cry out subconsciously.
Jasper motioned to favonovel.com with his eyes, hinting at favonovel.com not to say anything.
Queenie clammed up silently, glanced at the lofty and self-conceited Liliana, and gloated a little inside.
In Harbor City, there were many agents who assumed great airs—even more than the celebrities themselves. It was just because they thought they were really experienced.
Liliana was one of those people.
She had, on many occasions, tried to squeeze as much income from favonovel.com reputation as possible.
Take this event for example.
Queenie was aware of Liliana’s underhand dealings with those investors but was powerless to do anything about it. She had signed a contract with Liliana, so favonovel.com could not do anything even when Liliana invested outside without the company knowing.
Things were different now. Liliana had shot herself in the foot. This was going to be favonovel.com unlucky day!
“You need to be responsible for your words and deeds,” Jasper said to Liliana.
