Hearing Jasper, Zachary nodded in approval and replied, “You’ve become much more mature now, Jasper.”
The four richest families in Harbor City were deeply intertwined, and most of the time, their relationship was not as simple as mere friends or enemies.
While the Atticus family was not among the four richest families, it held an extremely unique position.
As Jasper said, the Atticus family was not weaker than any of the four richest families.
In reality, the fact that the Atticus family was not one of the four made it much more convenient for them to conduct their operations.
Take the stock crisis before, for example. When Harbor City’s economy took a huge hit, the citizens and Harbor Government placed all their hope on the four richest families. They did not expect much from the Atticus family.
When it came to Fabian, anything the Law family did to him would be understood as a move against the entire Atticus family. The Atticus family was not an easy opponent either, and they might not surrender to the Law family.
The Law family, of course, did not fear the Atticus family, but Harbor City’s current situation was a mess, and the whole Atticus family could potentially be triggered by a small move. Since the situation was already less than ideal, it was better not to create any more issues.
This had always been the Law family’s reasoning.
As far as Jasper was concerned, it was important to recognize that the Law family and himself were different entities. This was a personal issue between Fabian and himself, and it was evident from the man’s setup that he intended to kill Jasper.
With this premise in mind, unless the Law family completely destroyed Fabian, he would not give up on attacking Jasper.
Otherwise, Fabian would not have plotted against him so openly despite knowing Jasper’s relationship with the Laws.
Not to mention that Fabian was also the Atticus family’s only heir, and unless the Law family was ready to fight the Atticus Family to the death, they would not completely destroy Fabian.
“Uncle Law, I just need you to keep a close eye on Fabian. Especially the transfer of the Atticus family’s or Fabian’s personal funds,” Jasper said.
Zachary frowned slightly and asked, “You’re worried that Fabian will see through your plan?”
