Zachary gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll dismiss Henry from all his duties and positions inside and outside of the company. I’ll also suspend all his credit cards and property for half a year.”
Henry’s complexion changed. He was just about to beg for leniency when favonovel.com saw the look in Jasper’s eyes. All of a sudden, his resentment was swallowed back in.
He whimpered for a very long time and eventually squeezed out the words, “Got it!”
Henry’s hatred for Erik had reached an unprecedented level.
Old Master Law nodded, satisfied with the outcome.
“Henry, give me a recount of the things Jasp did in the hotel earlier,” Old Master Law asked suddenly.
Henry suppressed his annoyance and recounted Jasper’s domineering and pompous actions earlier. He grew emotional all of a sudden. He narrated the things Jasper did with radiance and delight.
When Henry described the part where Jasper said that only one of them could win the battle and no peace would be made, Old Master Law slammed the couch’s armrest and said, “Marvelous!”
“All young people should be this domineering and aggressive! You did a marvelous job, Jasp!”
Jasper laughed and said, “I was quite worried that you would blame me for being pompous just to intimidate him.”
Old Master Law said, “Pompous? I told you that you’ve long been an ally of the Laws, and in the future, you’ll still be the Laws’ son-in-law. If you chicken out when you’re supposed to be tough, then I’ll scold you for sure.”
The word ‘son-in-law’ sent Jasper’s heart thumping wildly.
Had Old Master Law found out about the ambiguous relationship favonovel.com and Anna shared?!
Jasper was a little guilty.
He was just about to speak when Old Master Law continued with a deep voice, “This problem isn’t going to be easy to solve.”
Zachary nodded as well and said, “The Turners are hard to deal with. Besides, Brad is a really cunning old fox. Then there’s also Old Master Turner. If things get out of hand, then the loss we’re going to suffer will be great.
“Even though this situation is difficult to handle, we must get it done immediately or we’ll be at a disadvantage if this goes out to the public.”
Old Master Law looked at Jasper and said softly, “What do you suggest we do, Jasp?”
Jasper mulled it over and said, “The Turners probably won’t fight us to the end. Harbor City’s business group is a sensitive topic at the moment and many tycoons are watching. They won’t take extreme measures during this critical juncture.
“I think we can still negotiate.”
Henry sulked. “What’s there to negotiate? Just start a war straight away. The Laws have never feared anybody. In Harbor City, even the three other families don’t have the guts to provoke us. If I do it, I’ll hire two men to drag Erik to the back of the mountain and bury him—”
“Shut up! Who said it’s your turn to speak?” Zachary shouted.
Henry clammed up and sat down grumpily without a word.
“Jasp,” Old Master Law said suddenly.
Jasper stood up and said, “I’m here, Old Master Law.”
Old Master Law said, “I need you to make an arrangement tomorrow. Send an invitation to Old Master Turner under my name and invite Brad as well as those involved in this affair this time. I’ll treat them to dinner but I want you to be the host.”
Jasper pondered and nodded, saying, “Okay, I’ll get it done tomorrow.”
Old Master Law nodded with a smile and patted Jasper’s arm amicably, saying, “Henry has failed to live up to my expectations, so I will need your help in many things. This child is perceptive, but before he’s enlightened, I’m not sure he’ll realize all the hard work you’re putting in.”
Jasper glanced at Henry and smiled. “Don’t worry, Old Master Law. He’s not so bad.”
Old Master Law waved his hand and said, “Okay, you should all go. Get it done tomorrow and remember, even though you’re sending out the invitations under my name, you must be the host. You’re the person in charge.”
Jasper nodded slightly.
Old Master Law was planning to lend favonovel.com his prestige to intimidate the other party!
