Puzzled, Jasper asked, “From what I can see, she’s not someone who starts a fight with others easily or uses underhanded means. Do you really need to be so afraid?”
“Damn, you may think that you’ve seen how she does things, but you don’t know that she has a really broad network. I don’t know how many resources she has, but she can basically settle the issue for me whenever something happens to me…”
As Henry said this, he seemed to have realized that saying so would greatly affect his reputation as the big brother.
He let out a dry cough before continuing, “Anyway, my dad even told me before that if Anna had been born before me or if she was a boy, then I wouldn’t have stood a chance at getting the Laws’ inheritance. I’m sure you know what this means.”
When they were talking, Anna came back and stared coldly at Henry. “Did you say something nasty about me?”
Henry quickly laughed dryly and said, “No, I didn’t. I was praising you.”
Anna snorted, then walked up to Jasper and said, “As Erik is involved in the media industry, he keeps close contact with those in Harbor City. I just contacted a person who was once in frequent contact with him and he holds compromising materials on Erik, which I think will be useful to you.”
Henry cocked his ears when he heard what she said. He asked curiously, “What compromising materials? Normal materials are useless when you’re dealing with a man like that.”
Anna sneered. “A material of him fooling around with a few ladyboys after taking drugs. Is this enough?”
Jasper, “…”
Henry, “…”
The usual news about corruption and bribery would have no effect at all on children from aristocratic families.
However, if the news of Erik fooling around with some ladyboys after taking drugs spread to the Turner family, Erik would be done for without needing Jasper to do anything at all.
Most of the time, the struggles and conflicts in a wealthy and distinguished family were particularly tragic. Even so, most of the seniors would be glad to see it happen. After all, this was just like the law of the jungle. The winner who survived the struggle would also be the strongest and the most capable of leading the family toward a glorious future.
It was precisely because of this that the compromising material on Erik was enough to have him consigned to eternal damnation.
