Henry, who was outside, called out, “Hey!” He immediately pushed open the door when favonovel.com heard the voice.
“Which idiot is making a ruckus here? Turner family this, Turner family that, what’s the matter? Is the Turner family so great that they can ascend to the heavens?”
Henry’s words drew everyone’s attention in the room.
Hector and Jacob were sitting obediently on the side. A middle-aged man with white hair and a steady presence whom Jasper did not recognize was sitting in the host’s seat. It seemed that the person was Hendrik.
On Hendrik’s left sat a young man in his 30s. He was dressed exquisitely, but obstinance was written all over his face. At this moment, favonovel.com was staring at Henry with a flash of cold light in his gaze.
This person should be the person from the Turner family who was speaking before.
Upon seeing Henry and Jasper, Hendrik stood up with a smile and said, “Young Master Law and Mr. Laine, you’re here.”
Hendrik walked over as favonovel.com spoke. He first reached out to Jasper and said, “Mr. Laine, I, Hendrik Combe, actually invited you two to the banquet today to bury the hatchet. I thank Mr. Laine profusely for showing up.”
Jasper shook hands with Hendrik and said coolly, “This banquet that you’ve so meticulously prepared is wonderful, Mr. Combe. Of course, I had to show up.”
Jasper’s words were meaningful. Hendrik smiled and pretended that favonovel.com understood nothing.
“You’re very welcome, Mr. Laine, Mr. Law, both of you come here and quickly have a seat.”
As favonovel.com led the two of them to have a seat, Hendrik approached Erik. He patted Erik on the shoulder affectionately and said, “This is the Turner family’s young master, Erik Turner. Everyone’s part of the same industry here. I’m sure there might even be opportunities for collaboration once we have a chat with one another.”
As soon as these words were uttered, Erik sneered and said, “Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry deserves to have a meal with me. I despise filth immensely.”
Upon hearing this, Henry immediately narrowed his eyes to reveal an ominous glint.
He had always been the one who said such comments to others. Since when was it someone else’s turn to turn the table against him?
“Aren’t you pretty f*cking insolent?” Henry sneered and said.
Erik darted a look at Henry and said indifferently, “Henry Law, don’t think that the Law family is all that great. The person who others respect is Old Master Law, a heroic figure. What does that have anything to do with you?
“At the end of the day, the Law family only has some power in Harbor City, but you’re really taking advantage of their influence after coming to Swallow Capital. Who the hell do you think you are, Henry Law?”
“F*ck you!”
Henry nearly flipped the table on the spot. “Who the fuck do you think you are? Aren’t you still bearing the Turner family’s name when you come out of the house and put on an act? Who do you think you’ll be if you leave the Turner family?
“Who I am isn’t up to you, a son of a b*tch, to tell me. Do it if you have the guts. If I wuss out, then I’m no longer a Law!”
Erik scoffed and said disdainfully, “How childish.”
With that said, Erik turned his head and said to Jasper without even glancing at the fuming Henry, “Are you the one who wants to snatch the Olympic celebration banquet from me? What’s the matter? Do you feel like you’re living too comfortably and are looking for excitement?”
Jasper chuckled and said calmly, “I don’t know whether it’s excitement or not. I only heard a mad dog barking non-stop.”
Henry instantly perked up. He taunted Erik, whose face took on an unsightly expression, “He’s talking about you. As a dog that can only bark, why don’t you bark a few more times for us to hear?”
There was a flash of dark gloom in Erik’s eyes. He sneered and said, “It seems that there really are people who look down on the Turner family, eh?”
Jasper said indifferently, “So what if it’s the Turner family? Has this dinner party been written down in a contract and given to the Turner family?”
Erik was taken aback when favonovel.com heard this.
In Swallow Capital, all the Turner family had to do was give a notice about any project that the family had an eye on and no one would dare to make them look bad. Even more so, no one would fearlessly try to snatch the project away from them.
As such, how could there be a contract signed beforehand?
That was why Jasper’s words had truly touched a weak point.
Erik turned his head to look at Hendrik. The former put on a false smile and said, “Young Master of the Combe family, how about we hurry up and draw up a contract?”
