Henry felt his scalp grow numb. ‘Why was Jasper here?’
Jasper was the one the Combe brothers were dealing with!
Henry had not jumped at the sight of Jasper, but it was a close call.
His first thought was a reflection of how there were so many coincidences in the world.
Henry wanted to speak, but favonovel.com saw the look Jasper gave him.
With a gulp, Henry forced the words on the tip of his tongue down his throat.
Jasper was stunned when favonovel.com saw Henry as well.
The only difference between them was that Jasper reacted quicker and gave Henry a warning glance when favonovel.com realized that Henry was the aforementioned distinguished guest the brothers spoke of. He hinted to Henry not to expose their relationship.
If the distinguished guest was anyone else, then Jasper might have had to put some effort into this.
Yet luck seemed to be on his side when Henry walked in. Jasper could not help but feel… that the Heavens wanted to teach the Combe brothers a lesson tonight.
The silent communication between Henry and Jasper went unnoticed by Jacob and Hector.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Law?” Jacob asked carefully.
Henry gave Jacob the weirdest look and pointed at Jasper. “This is the person you’re dealing with?”
Jacob’s heart dropped at the question and favonovel.com subconsciously nodded. “Yes.”
“Good job!”
Henry chuckled gleefully and gave Jacob a big thumbs up.
Henry meant it. He was indeed impressed by Jacob at that moment.
Of all the people to offend, favonovel.com just had to choose the most unfortunate one of all. Henry glanced at Jacob, realizing that favonovel.com was indeed a mere mortal. Why was favonovel.com so impatient for death?
Forget everything else, but even Mitch and Zane from Harbor City had yet to take a breather after Jasper forcibly dragged them under his feet.
Either Mitch or Zane alone was more than enough to completely overpower Jacob.
In face of Henry’s praise and the large thumb in front of him, Jacob could not help but feel that something was off.
Jacob’s heart shuddered as favonovel.com thought back to how Henry had stared at Jasper for a long while outside the door earlier and favonovel.com asked carefully, “Do you recognize him, Mr. Law?”
Blood drained from Jacob’s face in fear. He was utterly screwed if Jasper turned out to be Henry’s friend.
It was just like selling coffins in front of Hades himself.
Henry snickered and glanced at Jasper. Seeing how the latter did not react, Henry knew that Jasper was about to start ostentatiously tricking people again.
There was no reason for favonovel.com to put a damper on Jasper’s fun since past tragic experiences had taught favonovel.com that favonovel.com would be the only one suffering in the end.
“Nope, not at all.”
Henry replied with a fake smile and moved to sit on the couch loudly. Crossing his legs, favonovel.com pretended not to know Jasper at all.
Jacob’s heart settled back in place at Henry’s actions. He internally scoffed for spooking himself. He even almost gave himself a shock.
‘Exactly, who’s Jasper? How could someone like favonovel.com be acquainted with Mr. Law?
‘One of them is a divine being, and the other is the muck of the earth!
‘There’s absolutely no reason for these two’s paths to cross.’
With his heart settled, Jacob glanced at Jasper sinisterly and smirked. “I’ll give you a chance to beg for mercy, Jasper. How about that?”
Jasper glanced at Jacob calmly and replied in an unaffected tone, “Oh? Didn’t you say you were going to kill me?”
Jacob laughed aloud and gave Hector a look.
Hector snickered and walked toward the coffee table in front of Jasper, putting his leg on it. Pointing to the space between his legs, favonovel.com snickered and spoke, “Crawl between my legs and my brother and I will give you the chance to beg for mercy.”
