Julian replied, “Got it. I’ll get to it immediately.”
Julian knew that time was of the essence, so he immediately got to work.
Jasper then turned to Henry and said, “Let’s go, then. Come back with me first. Don’t go anywhere for the next two days, just stay by my side.”
Henry scoffed and replied sourly, “What’s with this f*cking bad luck. Everything was going great before this troublesome thing happened.”
Jasper and Henry were busy discussing details of this murder on the way back to the hotel when Jasper received a surprising call.
When he saw Jasper fall deep into thought after reading the caller ID, Henry could not help but ask, “Who’s phone call got you looking so grim?”
Jasper smiled and said something that had Henry’s expression changing slightly.
“The little prince.”
After replying Henry, Jasper accepted the call.
Jasper had to pick the call up regardless of the reason behind the little prince’s sudden communication.
“You’re a busy man, Little Prince. It must be something important for you to take time out of your busy schedule to call me.”
A chuckle echoed through the speakers after Jasper finished talking.
“Nothing important, really. I’m just here to provide intel.”
Jasper arched his brow slightly in response.
“While I am very intrigued in seeing Henry, that fool, suffer a little from a prank, I’m more inclined to watch your stunning performance.”
Dominique’s words implied that the man knew everything that had happened today.
Jasper was unsurprised.
Waterhoof City was the Royal family’s territory. The strengths and depths of this family’s roots were, as far a s Jasper knew, unparalleled within the country.
The way Prince Chavez called himself the crown prince just because of Clear Seas Industrial was nothing in comparison to this family’s strength.
