Jasper looked at Mitch with a half smile and said, “Don’t say that. I did take a lot of your money with my little financial knowledge.”
Mitch’s face darkened upon hearing that.
Jasper was his enemy for life. Jasper was able to strike him right in the heart with just one sentence.
“F*ck you! Stop being so cocky, you mainlander!”
Mitch dropped the act and showed his true self.
He looked at Jasper sinisterly and said, “Still, I don’t know what you fed that dumb*ss Henry. How could he do something so stupid as burning down Empire Meet?”
“However, since he’s done it, he has to pay the price. So what if he’s the young master of the Law family? Do you think the Atticus family are cowards?”
“This time, you and Henry are in big trouble!”
Jasper looked at Mitch calmly and replied, “I already knew that we’d offend Fabian after we burned Empire Meet. Even if we have to suffer the consequences, and even if we’ll be in huge trouble, it’ll be our business to deal with. This has nothing to do with you, so what are you so happy about?”
Mitch‘s expression changed as his eyes filled with humiliation.
Jasper’s statement was filled with mocking and ridicule, and yet, he did not include even a single cuss word in his sentence. This made him extremely uncomfortable.
He wanted to refute, but he could not find a way to do so.
After all, what Jasper said was the truth.
“Therefore, in this case, I will say it softly. There are people coming and going around all here. If someone overheats it, they will think that Mitch Langdon is such a badass now that he’s stepping on Henry to put pressureon Jasper. They will even wonder if Harbor City belongs to him now.”
