Zachary gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll dismiss Henry from all his duties and positions inside and outside of the company. I’ll also suspend all his credit cards and property for half a year.”
Henry’s complexion changed. He was just about to beg for leniency when he saw the look in Jasper’s eyes. All of a sudden, his resentment was swallowed back in.
He whimpered for a very long time and eventually squeezed out the words, “Got it!”
Henry’s hatred for Erik had reached an unprecedented level.
Old Master Law nodded, satisfied with the outcome.
“Henry, give me a recount of the things Jasp did in the hotel earlier,” Old Master Law asked suddenly.
Henry suppressed his annoyance and recounted Jasper’s domineering and pompous actions earlier. He grew emotional all of a sudden. He narrated the things Jasper did with radiance and delight.
When Henry described the part where Jasper said that only one of them could win the battle and no peace would be made, Old Master Law slammed the couch’s armrest and said, “Marvelous!”
“All young people should be this domineering and aggressive! You did a marvelous job, Jasp!”
Jasper laughed and said, “I was quite worried that you would blame me for being pompous just to intimidate him.”
Old Master Law said, “Pompous? I told you that you’ve long been an ally of the Laws, and in the future, you’ll still be the Laws’ son-in-law. If you chicken out when you’re supposed to be tough, then I’ll scold you for sure.”
The word ‘son-in-law’ sent Jasper’s heart thumping wildly.
Had Old Master Law found out about the ambiguous relationship he and Anna shared?!
Jasper was a little guilty.
He was just about to speak when Old Master Law continued with a deep voice, “This problem isn’t going to be easy to solve.”
Zachary nodded as well and said, “The Turners are hard to deal with. Besides, Brad is a really cunning old fox. Then there’s also Old Master Turner. If things get out of hand, then the loss we’re going to suffer will be great.
