“As the younger generation, it’s my pleasure. When I get to Harbor City, I will definitely get in contact with you, Mr. Law,” Jasper said and smiled.
Zachary said in a forthright manner, “If you don’t come to find me, I’ll get someone to kidnap you and bring you to me. After all, you’ve promised that you’ll make money for us.”
After some conventional greetings, Jasper got up to leave.
The moment he got out of Zachary’s room, he ran into Henry and Anna.
“Damn it, why did I run into this Mainlander?”
When Henry saw Jasper, his face darkened and he wanted to turn around to leave.
“Stop.”
Anna’s word caused Henry to stop as if his feet had been nailed to the floor.
“How many times have I told you to respect the people from Mainland now that we’re here? It’s easy to offend them by calling them Mainlander, don’t you know that?” Anna lectured.
Henry said impatiently, “I just blurted it out. I don’t mean it that way.”
“How would they know if you don’t mean it that way? Apologize right now,” Anna said.
Henry widened his eyes to look at Anna and yelled, “Are you sick in the head? You’re asking your older brother to apologize to an outsider?”
“You’re at fault, so you have to apologize.” Anna looked at Henry coldly. “Are you going to or not?”
The corners of Henry’s lips twitched, and he turned around reluctantly to say to Jasper, “Sorry.”
It was insincere.
However, Jasper did not mind.
He knew Henry was not a bad person. Not only was he not bad, but he had a lot of the excellence of the Laws in his bones.
Why?
