How could this have been accomplished by an ordinary person?
“You did well in your final choice. Mitch’s grandfather is an honorable man, and we’re indebted to him due to things that happened in the past. We must let him keep his reputation.”
Zachary was extremely appreciative of the fact that Jasper had not driven Mitch to the point of desperation but instead chose to settle the matter with 100 million dollars.
“Of course, you didn’t have to help the Law family repay what we owe the Langdon family. However, if you want to settle in Harbor City in the future, you should take note that we’re different from other places as we take our relationships very seriously. It would have been detrimental to your development if you had offended the Langdon family.”
Jasper said calmly, “I didn’t think about it that much. Respect is earned, not given.
“The Langdon family’s attitude doesn’t affect me too much. I merely think that exchanging a one-time kneel for 100 million dollars is much more worth it.”
Zachary smiled and said, “Alright, not bad. I can’t detect any of the arrogance that young people, especially successful ones like you, might have on you. Many successful people are arrogant, but you aren’t. I always feel like I’m talking to someone my age when I talk to you.”
“Thank you for your generosity in giving me such honor, Mr. Law,” Jasper said as he smiled.
Zachary said jokingly, “Still calling me Mr. Law? Such formalities.”
“Uncle Law, I’ll drink a toast to you.” Jasper smiled as he raised his glass.
“Haha, alright.” Zachary laughed heartily as he clinked his glass against Jasper’s.
Bored of watching Jasper and Zachary tooting each other’s horn, Henry interrupted them.
“Dad, didn’t you ask us to only bring Jasper back home when you’re almost finished with looking into the matter of the entertainment company?”
