If one could comprehend something when other people had guided them, that was being savvy—it was cleverness.
If one could subconsciously learn while actively applying something after another’s guidance and then immediately turn it into one’s own means of conducting everyday life, then that was wisdom.
As a first-rate heir, Henry had received the most elite education ever since he was young. Whether it was the influence of his family or his environment, he would only be smarter and have more advantages than ordinary people.
Not every heir or heiress was feeble-minded.
Henry was a little stubborn and mischievous, but it was undeniable that he was indeed a diamond in the rough.
He could shoulder great responsibility with a little carving and polishing.
Therefore, Jasper was very satisfied with Henry’s performance now.
At the very least, Jasper finally had some confidence in Zachary and Old Master Law’s expectations in letting him coach Henry.
A harsh beating from the real world was the best teaching material. Jasper reckoned that it might not be a bad thing to let Henry suffer a big loss this time.
After returning to the hotel, Hector rushed to work relentlessly while Jasper and Henry returned to the room to discuss the next strategy.
Fortunately, after Old Master Law came, Anna went to stay in the same hotel as Old Master Law to take care of him. Meanwhile, Henry stayed behind because he was afraid of getting lectured.
If Anna were still here, this matter could not be kept hidden for long.
“Right now, we can only locate the person first and see if we can follow the clues to come up with some evidence. The current situation is very disadvantageous for you and me. The main thing is we don’t know what exactly they made you sign and how they’re going to use these things.”
Jasper analyzed as he sat in the study, pouring a cup of tea for Henry and himself.
Henry said with a grimace, “It feels like there’s always an invisible bomb by my side.”
At this moment in the hotel’s parking lot.
Lisa and Ben were sitting in the car, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
“Lisa, I feel like Young Master Turner is sending us to our deaths,” Ben said with a dissatisfied expression.
Lisa took a deep breath. She stared at the tall and glorious hotel building in front of her and said, “What are you afraid of? We now have Henry’s fate in our hands. What else do they still dare to do to us?”
Ben said with a frown, “But why didn’t Young Master Turner come by himself to fish for information about Jasper and Henry and have us come instead?”
Lisa said through gritted teeth, “Didn’t you hear Young Master Turner say that he has other matters to attend to? Cousin, don’t think too much. Now that we’ve already gotten involved with this matter, it’s impossible to pull out even if we want to.
“Do you think Henry and Jasper will let us go after everything has been exposed? If we don’t do a good job for Erik, he won’t even care about us when the time comes. We’d really be tethering at the end of our ropes then.”
Ben made up his mind upon hearing this. With a deep voice, he said, “You’re right, we have no choice now. Think about how Henry treated us before. Not only us, but even our parents were thoroughly disgraced! We must avenge them!”
The two of them got out of the car and entered the hotel after finishing their discussion.
Ben took a deep breath as he came to the door of the room. Just when he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.
Looking at the expressionless Julian, Ben said coldly, “Are Jasper and Henry here? I want to meet with them.”
“Wait here,” Julian uttered the two words coolly, turned around, and entered the room.
