“Pfft… Hahahaha.”
Anna could not help falling on the couch laughing.
Henry’s smile froze on his face. He turned his head and stared at Jasper, seemingly trying to confirm whether Jasper was serious about it.
“There’s no need to stare at me. I can tell you for sure that I’m being serious.”
Jasper shrugged and said, “I know you’re very unwilling. After all, you’re an adult who’s accustomed to being free, and to suddenly have your peer, someone who’s even a few years younger than you, guide you, you will feel more or less humiliated.
“Similarly, I’m in a tough position myself. It’s really awkward for me to have a student who’s older than me.
“So if you can persuade your dad and your grandfather, I will gladly skip this errand.”
As Henry listened to Jasper, he knew what he meant.
“What if you use my dad and the rest to pressure me?” Henry said with a scowl.
“We’re not trying to pressure you. We just want you to know that right now, you can’t resist, nor do you have a choice. You can only listen to me,” Jasper said in a mild tone.
“Don’t even think that I like having to watch over you. I don’t have the time for that. But since Mr. Law and Old Master Law requested it, I will think of a way to transform you so that you’ll stop being a little bug, at least.”
“Who are you calling a little bug!?”
Henry stood up abruptly, roaring while staring at Jasper.
“You.” Jasper put down the wine glass, looked at Henry, and chuckled. “What’s wrong? Want to hit me?”
“You think I’m not brave enough to touch you just because my dad and my grandfather are on your side?” Henry said coldly.
At this moment, Anna stood up and frowned at Henry. “What are you trying to do?”
