His words attracted the attention of many people.
Most of them were here just to watch the scene unfolding before them and join in on the fun.
Alas, Jasper was not a slice of delectable pie. It was impossible for him to make everyone like him.
If he were to consider the top four families alone, many of them felt a strong animosity toward him due to him being an outsider’s sudden appearance in their family affairs.
Everyone was simply maintaining a facade of harmony on the surface.
Mitch Langdon, for example, was on the verge of becoming his lifelong archenemy.
Now that Zane had voiced out, a lot of people were waiting for Jasper to embarrass himself. Many of the gazes directed at him were dripping with contempt.
Henry arched his brows. He thought of Jasper as a respected mentor that would guide him on the path of becoming bigger and better. Furthermore, the Laws had invited Jasper to sit at their table. Thus, he represented the Laws as well.
By shaming Jasper Laine, it meant that he was putting the Laws to shame as well.
How could Henry stand this?
Just as Henry was about to say something, Jasper voiced out.
“You have it wrong. Being your equal is an insult to me.”
A lot of people could not resist bursting out into laughter at Jasper’s words.
Zane was fuming with anger. He glared at Jasper after being humiliated by him and sneered, “Why are you being so rash? Harbor City isn’t the Mainland. You can’t act as arrogant as you wish to over here. You won’t even know the cause of your death later on.”
“Aren’t you tired of repeating the same things over and over again?” Jasper asked impatiently.
“Even if you want to threaten me, do it differently. Please enlighten me on how you wish to end my life.”
