Alex chuckled. His eyes were filled with happiness. Even though the second generations looked as if they were simple-minded and they did not need to consider anything other than thinking about how to have fun and cause trouble, in reality, they were all very stressed.
They were at the age where the burden of the task of succession had begun to subtly affect all aspects of their lives.
For example, Alex was the only son of the Jeans. Therefore, there would be no pressure for him to fight over the family property. Meanwhile, Phil was still healthy so he could still work for a few more years. However, Phil was not getting any younger, and Alex could not always be a second-generation who only knew extravagance.
Therefore, his instinct drove him to draw up a relationship with Henry and also win Jasper’s favor.
Even though from the looks of it now, Jasper did not have any foundation in Harbor City, which made this feel like an empty promise.
However, smart people would know that it was only a matter of time before Jasper rose now that he had long list of glorious past achievements and also the unconditional support of the Laws in Harbor City.
Right now, if the families in Harbor City wanted to expand their business to the mainland, they would only have to do half the work to reap twice the reward if they had Jasper’s help.
One would know this if they just looked at the Laws’ huge investment in the mainland over the past year. One would have more ways out if one had more friends. Jasper was a young man with the Laws as support and he also had a lot of resources in the mainland.
This was a golden blue-chip stock.
“I hope I can use this favor now.”
Howard suddenly spoke up. Henry, Alex, and Jasper were all stunned.
Soon, they came back to their senses. Jasper smiled and asked Howard, “Okay, what can I do for you? However, I might not have as much advantage as you guys in Harbor City, so I might not be able to help you with things that are too difficult.”
Howard shook his head and said seriously, “You can definitely help me with this.”
As he said that, Howard pointed at Julian, who was standing behind Jasper. He had an intense desire to battle shooting from his eyes. He said, “I want to learn from your bodyguard.”
