“Miss Law, this is the first time we are
meeting, right?”
Wendy looked at Anna and said with a
smile.
She did not blame Anna for saying
something so unpleasant. So, she put
herself in a position to think about how
Jasper worried about her back then. If
Wendy was Anna, she would be upset too.
Now that things had come to an end, the
war between the two women could
commence.
How many heroines in novels would live i
n harmony?
Such a situation did not exist. It would
never exist.
The women standing next to Jasper were
all arrogant and proud, no matter if it was
Wendy, Anna, or others.
Also, which one of them was not amazing
judging from their backgrounds, looks,
and temperament?
If these women were like the brainless ornamental pieces in the novels that were willing to serve on their husband together, it would be a real joke.
“This is the first time we met, but we’ve
talked before.”
Anna despised how Wendy was acting like she was the matriarch of the Laines. This displeased her very much. As they were talking, her overbearingness due to her status of being Miss Law was turned up to the max, to the point where she did not seem inferior to Wendy at all.
When it came to war between women, verbal warfare was just a very superficial way of expression. When it came to a savvy woman, even a flick of her hair was provocation or a demonstration to their opponent.
Wendy smiled faintly and said, “I am always busy working and there are a lot of times when I can’t take care of Jasper. I still have to thank you for your care of Jasper when he’s here in Harbor City, Miss Law, but there won’t be too many opportunities for Jasper to come to Harbor City in the future. After all, we are working and staying on the mainland. You won’t be too disappointed, right, Miss Law?”
As soon as these words came out, Anna was so angry that she ground her teeth silently.
Naturally, Wendy had the official title, and this was where Anna held the least confidence.
This was also where she was the most
unwilling.
At the moment, Wendy was talking openly about the difference between the mainland and Harbor City, which meant that Anna was just Jasper’s casual playmate in Harbor City, so she did not need to take Anna too seriously.
However, Anna was not so easy to deal with.
“You made this sound so serious. Jasper and I have a good understanding. Transportation is so convenient now. What’s more, JW’s business has also expanded to Harbor City while the Laws
also have a lot of investment in the mainland. So, there will still be many opportunities to meet in the future.”
This time, it was Wendy’s turn to grit her teeth.
She was mad because she was the one who developed Harbor City’s business.
Now, it had become Anna’s bullet against her.
“What are you doing?”
Henry approached Jasper insensibly and
asked.
With his back to the battlefield, Jasper, who stood by the speedboat and looked out at the sea, said silently, “I am waiting for the sunrise.”
“Wow, this is the first time I’m seeing someone who can match my sister with
words. How amazing.”
Henry continued to rub the salt into Jasper’s wound. He even lifted his thumbs up as he exclaimed.
“By the way, those two women were so
overbearing. Are you sure you don’t want t o jump into the sea and escape?”
“Do you believe that I’ll tell Julian to throw you down to feed the fish first?”. Jasper gritted his teeth.
Henry cowered and glanced at Julian, who was smirking next to him. He said with a lack of confidence, “I’m also considered half of Master Lager’s apprentice, he wouldn’t do that.”
“Mr. Law, if you talk like that again, Jasper will do it himself.” Julian laughed.
Henry stopped joking after he shrugged. Then, he said, “Now that we have found her and the matter has been temporarily resolved, what are we going to do about Harbor City? Should I ask someone to settle it later?”
With a nod, Jasper said, “Settle it. Reward the person who gave us the clue.”
“Are you really willing to part with 100 million?” Henry sighed.
“What is 100 million compared to them?”
Jasper glanced back at Wendy and Anna as he said that.
When Henry heard Jasper say the word ‘
them’, Henry sighed and did not say
much.
After all, Anna was his sister.
If he could call the shots, of course, he did
not want any other woman to snatch his
brother-in-law away from his sister.
