Jasper’s words eased up the tense atmosphere a little.
Zachary smiled, leading Henry and Anna into the room first.
Brad and Erik followed closely behind.
When Brad walked past Jasper, favonovel.com stopped in his tracks and sized Jasper up and down. He suddenly said with a smile, “Would you like to come to the Turners’ to have tea some time?”
Everyone else put on a skeptical expression as soon as Brad said those words.
What was that supposed to mean?
Was favonovel.com trying to draw Jasper over to his side?
Was favonovel.com trying to mess with the Laws?
Zachary, who had not walked too far yet, smiled without a single care. He then walked straight into the Imperial Ballroom.
If Brad’s method was that useful, then he, Zachary, would have been doomed a long time ago.
Besides, the relationship between the Laws and Jasper was not a simple partnership that outsiders thought it to be. After going through so many trials and errors together, the Laws and Jasper had already become one.
Among the three other richest families in Harbor City, it was common knowledge that if anyone laid a finger on Jasper, then that person was also going against the Laws.
In other words, ‘I, Zachary Law, have a gorgeous and outstanding daughter like Anna. What the f*ck do you have, Brad?’
Norman and Ian both looked at Jasper with a complicated expression.
They did not expect Jasper to be so outstanding that even Brad would extend an invitation to him.
This qualification was so rare that even the two of them who were from the same generation as Brad had never enjoyed such privilege before, let alone their peers.
When Brad finished his sentence, favonovel.com stared fixedly at Jasper, seemingly looking forward to his answer.
Jasper was not surprised. He smiled and said, “Thanks for the invitation, Uncle Turner, but I have too much to do lately. If I can find the time to make a visit, I would love to drop by and have tea with you.”
He was not disrespectful when favonovel.com said those words.
It was enough to not make it too embarrassing for Brad as his ‘elder’, but at the same time, Jasper was not accepting the invitation either.
Speaking was an art, and Jasper had clearly gained full proficiency in this art.
Brad was not surprised when Jasper declined his invitation. He had even prepared himself for Jasper’s curt rejection.
On the contrary, favonovel.com now saw Jasper in a new light because his words did not leave favonovel.com feeling humiliated at all.
He then smiled and patted Jasper amiably on the shoulder, saying, “Not bad. You’re pretty outstanding compared to your peers. I’ll be waiting for your good news then.”
Brad left after saying those words.
He was, after all, at the same level and status as Zachary, so there was no need for favonovel.com to be too affected by Jasper.
In Brad’s opinion, Jasper and Erik’s quarrel earlier was nothing more than a fight between children. It was not worth mentioning at all.
Generals would fight against generals, soldiers with soldiers. There was no reason for him, a general, to deal with a soldier like Jasper himself.
Following behind Brad, Erik twitched his mouth before walking ahead. He then said in a low voice, “You don’t know how to appreciate what’s good for you.”
Jasper was still wearing a faint smile on his face as though favonovel.com did not hear what Erik said.
When the Laws and Turners had entered the Imperial Ballroom, only Norman, Ian, and Lisa were left at the scene.
“Please enter,” Jasper said to Norman and Ian flatly.
