Life at The Top novel Chapter 1227

Jasper and Prince’s battle came and went quickly, like a tremendous gust of wind.

People within the industry were still watching the situation and predicting whether Clear Seas’ huge capital would enter the market to help their crown prince when the battle had suddenly ended.

Jasper walked out away with complete victory. Of course, everyone was smart and they knew that the matter was far from over.

“Vere’s currently being held back by something outside the country. To old crafty people like him, a small issue or some trouble their child was facing is far less important than some huge partnership they were formally negotiating.”

“To a group as huge as Clear Seas, these three listed companies can hardly be considered important businesses, so it’s not worth making a big deal out of losing them.”

“The only thing that probably rattled him would be Prince involvement in a homicide.”

Jasper analyzed the current situation with Henry in the restaurant.

More than combing through the situation, Jasper was trying to guide Henry into understanding the thought process of someone from a higher status as well as their perspective.

Henry also realized that this incident had indeed affected him to some degree. It taught him that in front of true bigshots, the simple identity of the Law family’s third generation was far from enough.

In the end, having a powerful background when fighting someone of a high enough rank only ensured that he would not be killed off. After all, no one would want to risk a full out war with the Law family by killing Henry.

“What should we do next, then?” Henry asked.

Jasper shook his head but did not engage on Henry’s topic. Instead, he grabbed his wine glass and clinked it with Henry’s before he asked, “When are you going back to Harbor City?”

Henry looked at Jasper as if the other was a ghost. “How did you know I’m going back?!

“After what happened this time, there’s no way you can still fool around here in the Mainlands. Either you get your life together once you go back this time, or you stay in Harbor City obediently for the rest of your life.”

Henry’s expressions darkened. Jasper’s words had hit him where it hurt.

While Harbor City was still much more developed than the Mainlands, and there were many better places to enjoy one’s self there, the problem with Harbor City was that the place was too small. Henry had long enjoyed his fill of Harbor City, so the Mainlands were comparatively much more attractive to him.

More importantly, he and Jill’s relationship was still at its early stages. While the two were currently in conflict, every relationship had its ups and downs, and he would not give up on Jill over something so insignificant.

“I’ll go back and see what my dad says. I’m bored of Harbor City already, so worse come to worst, I’ll just agree to some condition that involves losing autonomy, but I’d be my own man.” Henry was very confident.

Jasper smiled and replied, “There’s another month or so before I have to start setting up for the huge and profitable plan. Stay in Harbor City before then, and I’ll have your dad let you out once the time’s right.”
