Now, Norman and his daughter were long go while Jasper, on the other hand, was completely fine. Therefore, despite knowing his son was supposed to treat Ainsley to dinner, he still had his son immediately apologize to Jasper upon offending him.
As for Ainsley, he could go screw himself.
While he was also a Royal, he was nothing much in comparison to the little prince, let alone Jasper.
Having made this smart decision, Gerry did not dare to dwell on the topic anymore, and after glaring at his son’s bloated face, he made a beeline for Jasper and said sincerely.
“I won’t say too much, Mr. Laine, but please forgive my stupid son this once! I’ll take any punishment you have in mind!”
Gerry knew Jasper’s temper, so he made sure not to create any complications at such a time. He had to be sincere and just hope that Jasper would overlook this incident. Otherwise, both he and his son would have to flee Waterhoof City tonight.
It must be said that Gerry had a good understanding of Jasper’s temper.
Jasper glanced at Gerry. He had not planned to torment the man at all.
Still, Gerry was not his friend, per se. The two of them started on bad terms, but Gerry had chosen to join the right side in the end. He had also extended Gerry a few opportunities, of which he had made good use of.
“Alright.”
Jasper stood up.
“Don’t put on this tragic act for me. If your son didn’t know better, then go home and teach him well. I’m sure you’ve seen your fair share of a businesses that had been built for decades only to be destroyed by a lone ignorant descendant.”
Gerry began to sweat when he heard Jasper.
As a councilperson of the ex-Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s Waterhoof of City branch, he knew that both the Hull and Gardner family had met their destruction by Jasper’s hand because of their incompetent children.
“I understand! I’ll definitely teach my son well! ” Gerry said with a forehead full of sweat.
Jasper looked at Ainsley and asked calmly, “I plan to invite the little prince for a meal in two days, should I bring you up in conversation?”
Ainsley’s buttcheeks squeezed tightly and he immediately replied, “No, no need, Mr. Laine. I’m just an insignificant child of the Royal family’s extended family. I’m sure what you and the little prince discuss are all important matters. Someone as insignificant as me has no right to be brought up by someone as dignified as you.”
Jasper smiled but did not say anything, then he walked out the room with hands behind his back while Vita and John trailed after him.
